Hey all, Hilux noob here!!

Postby LusciousLux79 on Wed, 02 Mar 2011 6:32 +0000

Just thought I'd say G'day from Ferntree Gully, had my 2010 SR Dual cab for a year now and I can't believe I hadn't found this site earlier....the reason I found it was that damn door chime!! I just wanted to listen to music with the door open for F$%k sake!! haha, Now I can :lol:

Been using the site for a few days now and am using the search button like crazy...SO MUCH INFO!!
It's my new Facebook basically

Haven't done a whole heap to my car so far, but really, how do you beat perfection??!!
Installed the airflow snorkel myself (3" holesaw was a little scary against my new panel) and upgraded my tyres and wheels from those tiny pizza cuttin' 195mm to 255 Pirelli Scorpions...they are suprisingly very good!!

My wishlist is to get a 2" lift and perhaps an ARB Sahara bull bar...need $$$ tho!

Anyhoo, looking forward to many more 4WDing adventures and the countless info off this site

Cheers
Andrew

I have one spare left. However they are collectors items and are now worth 370 cents. If you bring 370 cents and meet me in Ringwood during B/H or Warburton A/H we can make a deal. ;) Funnily enough thats the price of a pot of Carlton Draught at the Alpine Retreat Hotel in Warburton. ;) ;)
