Rhodesy Build - Lakefield National Park

[Rhodesy27]

Finally got my lux today.
Very happy with how it turned out. Its a SR 2010 production (2011 Compliance)
I originally ordered the Charcoal grey model but was told that its wasnt in production till may. (load of BS)
So i decided on the silver. ( Got a discount and free tint because of it)
I got from toyota a option SR5 Tub and some Flares. Bonnet protecters
Its booked in on the 13th for my TJM extras.
I got ordered a Bullbar, Towbar, Canopy, Sidesteps/brush bars, Roof racks and Some 31/10.5/15 MTZ on a black sunny rim.

Welcome to the site mate. I can't wait to see your build up

[helmut79]

Welocme aboard mate

Post some more pic's once she has been de-flowered

[danmcccc]

hey mate, just in general does it look a bit odd running flares with the SR rims, ike does it look funny with them sitting in the guard heaps??

[Rhodesy27]

Yea it dose but wasn't goin to fork out for sr5 rims when I got some black sunraisers coming and mtz

[greysrigging]

I had the flares AND a 2" lift before I changed the rims on my SR. Copped some sh*t off the mates and some funny looks from the general public........I've got pics but I dont put 'em up,he he !

[Rhodesy27]

It's not that bad i was thinking about using the SR
Rims and tyres for work. But can wait to get the new tyres

[greysrigging]

Yeah, an option....I found the SR originals a bit iffy in the Wet ( my ute's a trayback ) Mine are resting comefortably out in the shed,probably wont ever go back on the vehicle........

Welcome to the site mate

Well done
Good luck

Side steps and brush bars. Not happy with they way the steps sit at the end, there is about 5mm gap from the sills. should be around 15mm i think.


Rear bar. still need to put 4 bolts in cause the holes didnt line up too well.


The Bar all fitted up me and the misses tackeled this one. was very easy. had to drill out the mounting holes to get the bar sitting where i wanted it.


Still waiting for TJM to get there shit together its been 4 weeks and still no canopy or my rims and tires. Goin to have to ask for some free gear i think, seeing as i spent $9k and still no stuff.

Also got my snorkel and roof racks sitting in the shed. Bit scared to do the snorkel my self.

[stevehastings]

is she getting a lift?

[Rhodesy27]

Yea hopefully in the next month or two. It needs it after having the bar fitted

Hey mate. Looking like your getting there. My mates dad just got the place he bought his gear to just cut the hole for his snore on his 200. Then did it himself. That's an option. They cut it for free.

[stevehastings]

far shes going to be sweet, getting mine lifted after a weekend up at Warraweena, got the TJM bash plates x2 they good, but the lux was like a grader in the front,so up she goes. Nice looking rig so far

[Rhodesy27]

Finally got my tyres today. Its been 2 months of stuffing around with TJM. After they ordered 16in and they didnt have account details with inifinty. Least they could do is give me a good price on a UHF. Best they could do was $500. Wankers.



Also put in a false floor just to keep all my tools and work stuff from scratching the tub. Went and seen Outback accesories last week and did me up a locals quote so hopefully be seeing them after the tax man.



Will be getting some rekon fitted as well, just waiting for the baby bonus money lol

[danmcccc]

looking clean as mate

[Rhodesy27]

Yea too clean i need to get out camping, just had another son so when he is old enough will head up north.
Gives me time to get some more stuff put on.

[mylesy]

You sparkies have two many tools haha see what I did there...

[Rhodesy27]

hahah thats all i need. lol i use my fingers as pliers.
