G'Day guys

[joffaute]

G'Day fellas. Im from the Northern Suburbs in Melbourne. I've been lurking around the forum for a few weeks now. The hilux is my first fourby. I bought it with all the gear already on it. It's got:

2" EFS suspension lift
Fleet Trades steel tray with toolboxes underneath
IPF spotties
ARB Bull Bar
ARB Sidesteps and sidebars
ARB Dual battery system
Warn winch
Michelle Sac's canvas seat covers
Safari snorkel
Black sunny's with 31" muddies
Toyota towbar

All I've done to it is add some alloy toolboxes on the tray, put some new Maxxis Bighorns on it, bought a Hi-Lift jack, and replaced the UHF with a Tait TM8250 25 Watt UHF and GME antenna.

I eventually want to get some bigger tyres on it, and wouldnt mind catching up for a hilux meet here and there. Anyways heres some picd of my ute. Maybe catch up with some of you soon.

This weekend up at Mt. Dissappointment


Bogged up at kinglake a few weeks ago


Trying to get the water out lol. Took ages to get the interior out and all cleaned up lol. Thats after I'd already opened up the doors

Welcome to the forum Joffaute.
Nice looking hilux there as well.
Can you post up some pics of your tray. Like the design of it...
Cheers

I'll have to take some tomorrow and post em up as I dont have any pics of the tray on it's own. It's just a fleet trades 2100 steel tray with ladder bar and toolboxes. I fitted the alloy boxes last week and bought them from a company called ute safe.

I really like the design of the tray, the only thing I dislike is trying to clean underneath after doing some mud bashing. Shit gets stuck in every nook and cranny you could think of. It's impossible to get it all off.

Only thing since fitting the toolboxes is I can't see a bloody thing out the back. So far I've backed it into a trolley bay, a sign and nearly backed into the roller door at home. It's difficult to judge how much room I've got behind me so I need to invest in a reversing camera. Feels like I have tunnel vision or something when reversing.
