JSRMacleod Newby with Mk6 D4D

Postby jsrmacleod on Sat, 25 May 2019 6:28 +0000

Hi all, I'm John Macleod from the very far north of Scotland, I'm 52 years old and am an HSE advisor.
I've had various 4x4's over the years, the last being a Discovery 3 which although very nice it was expensive to maintain.

I bought my first Hilux last year from a farmer mate of mine. It was a standard D4D 3.0 HL3 with no mods, since I've had it I've raised the suspension 2" and done a 2" body lift, she's been fitted with 33"x12.5" mud terrain tires on EC32 modular steels.

I've fitted a snorkel and a hidden 13000lb Rhino winch on the front, I have the option of a chrome roll bar or fiberglass canopy with a 24" led bar with a spot lamp either side, canopy is on just now. CB radio and antenna fitted.

I've got botched extended arches at the moment until I find suitably priced flared ones. all in all it looks pretty rough and ready but that's the way I like it. Once I get proper arches I'm tempted to do a Upol Raptor paint job in black all over.
Looking forward to gathering some good information on here.
