Re: My 2008 Hilux
Welcome Craig! Fantastic vehicle, congrats! 
Fantastic vehicle, congrats! When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
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!

Thanks for the replies guys very happy with it, well planning to do everything I can to it - budget dependant of course. Most of the better mods are in Australia and the ones here can be expensive as there are very few shops that kit them out, only found 2 in the Auckland region so far, anyway going to first do a drawer system and get roof racks.

Re: My 2008 Hilux
Congrats and welcome to the forum. Nice looking fan you have there.
Just one note. You might want to take of that bonnet protector. As I understand it that bonnet protector stops the air from getting into the scoop on the bonnet for the intercooler...
