Bob's 2009 Hilux SR5 Build

[Bobjones]

Hi All, name is Neill, Bob is a long story around the campfire.

Anyway, finally got delivery of my truck yesterday, was due last Friday...but anyway long time reader first time poster so be nice!!

I previously has a 2002 Nissan Patrol in white with EFS lift bar etc etc, but a change in circumstances resulted in the sale of that, the sale of my 9 month old Honda Accord Euro the new shape, to make room for my toy (1989 Mazda Rx7), and store my brother 1982 VH SLE along with the missus VE work hack (yes I have four garages, blessing at times PITA some times), anway enough about me...the new truck

2009 Hilux Sr5 Dual Cab Tubo Diesel manual in Charcoal Grey, which has the bluetooth stereo so I have handsfree for work and controls on the steering wheel along with cruise, about time they put this in the Lux, my boss has one of the first luxes with all the ARB gear and TV's etc etc, so it was inevitable that with two dogs and looking at a dual cab I chose the lux...so what is done to it...(oh it turned up 4 days late so they gave me a GX Prado to drive and threw in the Headlight and Bonnet protectors)

Already fitted:
Mats
Bonnet & Headlight Protectors
Tray Liner
Tow bar

On Order:

Yes that is where I confirmed my idea to put them on in that size, bugger paying for 17 inch tyres and bugger getting genuine Prado wheels...

[Bobjones]

OK got my wheels on, thats easy, now..images, do I need to host them somewhere and then link them to post them up???

[9W6VX]

Go to photobucket.com

It will host your pictures.

[Bobjones]

Ok, pictures finally.

Sorry, no pictures when I got it home, did not have the dealer do the pre-delivery detail as I detail show cars in my spare time...like there is alot of that.

Anyway, mods in pictures are window tint, removal of that gay rear sticker, and the 16x7 Prado copies and BFG All Terrains.

[Bobjones]

And for those whom are a fan of Mazda's...the RX7, its standard officer, no actually its engineered and mod plated for everything...









The obligatory tax deduction picture...

Looking good mate, I love the RX7 too. The FC RX7's are all rust buckets over here unless they've been imported recently.
Do the 265's rub at all or have you got a lift on the front?

[9W6VX]

She's so pretty...... the Hilux i mean............

[lukeSR]

Looks good mate, all that's missing is the MUD!!

Luke

[Bobjones]

The 265's only slightly rub on the passenger side mud flap and full lock in reverse for some reason, otherwise under normal driving no...but when the ARB bar goes on I will adjust the castor so that it won't rub at all.

The Mazda is not an import, its Australian Delivered, with Logbooks and more mods than I can poke a stick at..and definitely no rust...

Yes, it does need to go offroad, we are heading camping on the 24th of July, so it might get dirty if I stay sober enough to drive it...

[Hilux Max]

Looks good mate, all that's missing is the MUD!!

I heard Quinny gets a good price on that spray on mud...maybe contact him and ask to borrow some....

maybe get a group buy going......

[Quinny34]

LOL... I knew it was bound to happen as sson as I read Lukes post....

Anyway... yes I can cut a good deal on getting some sprayed on for those interested... With all this rain around NSW and VIC I can almost accomodate any location also..

[lukeSR]

Maybe you should advertise your spray on mud on ebay mate.. plenty of pretend 4wd's would be interested im sure!

[Possum]

Quinny is doing a special on the spray mud on at the moment for all NewHilux.net members for $50 he will add this important mod to your lux he only needs your shinny baby for two days.
Very professional job would highly recommend him to do this mod for your.
He will also include a couple of high qually pics for your shed profile.
