Just thought id share some photos on my daily driver...
Basically It took me a solid 3 month to find a well looked after pre 05 turbo diesel dual cab for a decent price. I ended up buying this because it was well looked after, had full service history, and hadn't been miss treated. It had a UHF installed, a pioneer CD player with blue tooth, speakers and tweeters.

Nice man.

You would need to get a body lift to clear the 33" tyres.

How many km's does she have.

If you want to know the common problems and thing to check let me know.

Great work on the custom tray mate, really looks great.
If you resize your photos to 600x800 or 640x480 they will display correctly in the forum and wont cut off.
Cheers
