Hi guys
Been lingering around here for a week or so and figured I might as well start a buildup page. A little harassment from you guys will help keep me motivated to keep going forward.
I picked our OCT 09 Dualcab SR5 Manual Diesel up new in December 2009. My first new truck. I was originally just planning to keep it fairly stock. Something reliable for the misso to drive while I'm away for work and a comfy beach cruiser while I'm at home. I have an old Bundy with 36" swampers for thrashing but it's been off the road for a few years and keeps getting put on the backburner for other projects. First the house then the shed and now a new hilux.
The planned mod list from the start was just a set of all terrains a bull bar and some lights. But now its a little different
So far I have
Ditched the side steps and rear mud flaps
Pulled off the odd sticker
Fitted my old Garmin GPS
Lifted the front up to level the truck out (came up around 3" with just a set of springs for now)
Thrown a set of 31x10.5x15" Cooper STT's onto the SR5 Rims
Modified the poxy factory bash plate / splash guard thing by regularly pounding it into things
Still on the list (and hopefully all ticked off before our Simmo trip next october)
Tonneau cover
Finish my mini mudflaps
Install the Delkor 900cca 100ah battery I just picked up with a redarc solenoid
Jerry can rack dealo in the tray
Bullbar
Lights
Might throw in the old ARB compressor from the bundy
Bilstein front struts and rear shocks
2" Body lift
and a set of sliders after I wrapped my passenger side sill around the door last trip to Glasshouse
