1st time Hiluxer

Postby 13flathead on Mon, 18 Apr 2011 2:14 +0000

Hello to all you fellow Hiluxers.
My name is Chris and I am from Canberra.
I picked up my first ever shiny new Hilux on Saturday. I’m in love already.
I drove down to Melbourne and traded in the old Territory (Rest in Peace) Ha.
I was surprised how well it drove.
She is a 2011 SR5, dual cab, turbo diesel, auto in silver.
I already have a big list (wish list) of mods that I would love to get done when I can afford them. Im broke now after the initial purchase.
Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself, say G’day and post a pic of the new truck.
Talk to you soon.

Welcome Chris,
Awesome Purchase... Im in Gundaroo and always keen to get my truck dirty.
Im a member of the Landcruiser Club, mainly so that I can use WIllowglen whenever I want... Have another guy in ACT who has a 60 series with a airbag lift (standard to 6+" in about 3 seconds) that goes with me.

PM me if you are keen to get the new truck dirty...

Mrpatchman,
always keen to get dirty and roll the swag out.
I have a few mates with Hilux's. Thats what got me hooked.
Jas has twin lickers, full bar work, chip, lift and mudies and that thing will go anywhere.
I at least need a set of tyres. Cant imagine the stock rubber is to good on the dirt.

Welcome Chris.

You need to setup an account on Photobucket. You upload your photo's to there and then copy the img code and paste it directly into the thread here. Make sure you resize your pics to 640 x 480 for best viewing.

And once you sort that out can you post a video or at least pics of your mate Jas's twin lickers. :lol: :lol: :lol: :roll:
