G'day from Kilmore, Vic

[Scout308]

G'day all,

Stumbled accros this forum from somewhere about a week ago researching suspension for my new 06 SR that i pick up on next week. Been trawling though the wealth of info on here for the last week and thought it about time to introduce myself. Currently have a 01 single cab hilux that has been used and abused and now the countdown is on until next week when i get my new Lux. Going straight in for EFS Elite 2" lift, snorkel & BF Muddy 265/75/R16's fitted then who knows from there? well hoping to rack a few brains on ideas that i have.


This is it! Hanging to get in it!!!

Welcome Scout. Hope to see you out and about on a trip oneday. It's a pity you haven't got the new lux yet as a few of us are heading to Tallarook tomorrow for a bit of wheelin'. You could always bring the old battle truck though. Post up some pics of the old one.

Cheers

Thanks for the offer fellas ive spent many days up @ Tallarook bymyself over the years stalking deer. Try going down Teehans # 4 and there is a track off to the left at the bottom is good fun and tests winches out when its wet. A few of the other Teehans #5 & #6 are good fun aswell. My old Somali battle truck has stock tyres and is stripped back to stock standard for trade in at the moment so its a no go for me this weekend thanks for the offer would love to get out with like minded Lux fans in the future though, here she is in all her glory had a hard life this one.

Yep Diff breathers will be a must as this will be in the vic high country most weekends.
Already know about the beeper removal top of the list to get done!

She looks well set up, the old girl. Thanks for the track tips. I won't be pointing my Hilux down a track that I can't get back out of. I know you hound hunters . . . . . F#@kin' Madmen

Yep 4X4's tend to have a short life span when owned by a hound hunter

[Scout308]

Wednesday is the day im hangin!!!!! Got quotes from a few places on suspension for a full EFS package Southern 4x4 quoted me $2300. Carrolls springs 5km down the road will do the same package for $1700 fitted. Also ordered CSA Monster 16x7 rims for my BF Muddies that are sitting in the shed wating for my new SR.
