    Plenty to be done!
    G'day guys @ TacomaWorld,
    Just got back home from your good country. Spent the majority of my trip looking at your vast array of available trucks!
    Got home and bought myself a new Toyota Hilux SR5 TD/DC.
    I know it's not a Tacoma or Tundra but hey, it's the best we have here downunder.
    Looking forward to chatting to a few folks and getting plenty of ideas for my build.
    Cheers,
    JC

    Pic of Hilux below. Only mod at present is chrome door handles swapped out for black. All chrome has gotta go!!!

    Aus'some! :D

    Welcome to TW!

    I will be in Australia next April for a couple weeks, and am hoping to meet up with some locals for some down-under wheeling. I won't have my Taco with me, but I hope I can meet some good people while I'm down there.

    G'day guys,

    Apologies for lapse in updates but busy with a few house renovations at present.
    For those interested, a few updates to the Hilux include:
    Blackout of all badging
    Black powder-coat to tray mount sportsbar
    ARB Sahara front bar
    ARB side bars (Black powder-coated top plate)
    ARB rear step bar (Black powder-coated top plate)
    Black front grill refit
    IPF Spot/Flood lights
    2" (OME) suspension lift
    Method Racing 17" NV (Matte Black) Rims wrapped in Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ's
    Factor 55 hitchlink (grey) fitted with Warn Premium shackle

    I still need to vinyl wrap side mirror covers as Toyota don't sell these in black.

    Love to hear your thoughts and comments on my truck.

    Cheers,
    JC
