Hi All

I'd like to start off with a thank you!! The amount on info on this forum is great!!
I've just joined and I'm already crammed with info.... So thanks to all, it is much appreciated.

I got a 2010 3.0D-4D, double cab, Legend 40, 4 x 4, Auto. It was always my dream to own a hilux and I love it!! I feel like a spoilt child everyday I climb into my hilux.
So far I have done a couple of mods to improve things off road and on the long road...
I did the suspension first...I opted for the Bilsteins all round...stronger coils up front and just extended shackles at the rear. Since then I did the tyres... 265/75/16 Bridgestone Duellers A/T, then front Bumper...TJM + Warn M8000 winch.
I've put an Airtech Snorkle on, National Lunar Dual Battery, Escape gear canvas seat covers, and I changed the sound system inside to something with a bit more oomf...(couldn't help it... I'm from the East Rand :dance1: )
The next mod I wanna do is Rock Sliders and under body protection....And eventually a rear bumper...

Thanks again for all the info....looking forward to some forum chats....
Cheers
Robert aka Nobit

Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Indeed I do enjoy outdoor sports.... A bit more of a cricket fan... But I enjoy a good rugby match as well.
