Thanks,

My mods:
so far only wheels,tinted windows & leather upholstered...
Gonna post the interior pics soon...
Yes Maxxx is right those wheels r taiwanese wheels...
price is really reasonable...
I bought those for around AU$750 for 5 sets...
I prefer to spend more on the tyres rather than wheels...
Yup, the blue lid is detachable...

Next mods:
Raw 4x4 2" suspension lift....
TV on the dash like OEM Prado n reverseable camera
Apexi turbo timer...

Gonna post the interior pics soon once it's all fitted...

There is a mag dealer here on the coast who I talked to about thee gmax mags. I would love to get them if they made a 17. He said he has to grind the calipers a bit to make them fit on a hilux though.

That looks like a solid, tough, truck. The chrome rings around the driving lights make it look alot better. Still pissed off that Toyota Australia didn't get us that straight rear bumper on the latest model :evil:
