    How beautiful!! Which country are you from? Are these king shocks from revo or tacoma? My king shocks are different from yours.
    Are these camburg arms for hilux?
    I saw that you removed the stabilizer bar. I also want to do this. How was stability on highways?
    She did not get too soft?

    Did you have problems with the stabilizer bar scraping on the shock absorbers? My stabilizer bar is scraping on the driver side damper. Mine has 1" replacement block in the bar but still scrapes. I was told that I would have to leave the bar at a greater angle. I'm scared to ruin it. Did you try walking without the stabilizer bar? What did you feel?

    Hey Fellow Hilux guys. Sorry my pics went away. Photobucket did some shady stuff and closed my acct or made it impossible to load more.

    I have found a new site and will post up the pics soon. I had many PM's on Winch and other Mods.

    @ Zypher, Truck looks good Nice to see other Hilux's

    No that I have the picture deal working OK, I thought I would post up some pics from my neck of the woods in Lampang, Thailand

    So I had a Thai buddy ping me the other night and offered up a place to go fishing. I prepped up the gear. He said we are going to this watershed lake up in the backwoods. He got to my place at 7am and we loaded up my truck with poles, chairs, off road gear (Strap and snatch block). Wife decided to come along. She prepped up some food stuff and off we went.

    We drove about 20kms from our house and hung a right onto this dirt road and off we went. I video'd the trek so I can remember where in the hell this place was/is.

    Below is a video from the truck webcam as we trekked through the backwoods to the lake. I have the GPS coordinates as well. All I can say is the trek was out there some 6kms. As we drove I was wondering where are we going. I know for sure I will be back during rainy season to do some wheelin. It will be a mudfest plus there are roads off to the left and right everywhere. I mentioned to wife that I am thinking of picking me up a 250XLr dirtbike to go check them out prior. Wife just smirked with that look like "WTF, another toy?"

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-Z6vNy2MgA.

    The vid is 10 minutes long, You can skip the first few if you want. It cuts me through a small Thai Mooban( Neighborhood). This is country living in the North. All farmers.

    The lake edge has a service road but the water is still high. Its swampy and muddy.

    Sure a pretty lake out in the middle of nowhere. We saw numerous big fish jump and wallop a big splash. We got our gear out and relaxed. My Thai friend did the Bread bait glob and cast out using 2 poles. I waded all over the shore line tossing plugs. Neither of us caught anything. As they say any day fishing is a GOOD day!

    While we sat and ate some grub, I flew my Mavic Pro drone for some aerial views of lake. This would be a perfect place for a float tube. You can camp here as well.

    The Drone pics of the lake show there is an access road around the lake but currently its underwater in many places. I wasn't able to go to far, the areas are swampy muddy and I did not bring a shovel in case I buried the truck. As we were leaving some Wheeler guys showed up with camping gear and some inner tubes. They unloaded and paddled across the lake to camp. I like that this place is remote which stops a lot of people from coming up. The road isn't car friendly and requires a truck and I guarantee in winter its 4wd with good off road gear or you will sink up to the axles.

    Love it, I haven't bought a diesel tuner for it yet to make some more power, Been too busy but will soon. Love the diesel Tq and power mode option of the Hilux.

    Thought I would update the thread a bit. I finally retired from work and now just mess around here in Thailand. I have been starting to work on the truck again. I connected with the Piak folks in Rayong as they finally came out with a frontend replacement system that does not have the loops. I ordered it up and should arrive in about 2 weeks or so. Should really clean up the truck and add a ton of metal out front and not plastic skin. I will leave it black for now but might paint match it later

    While that waits here are a few pics from their site.

    They do a lot of jamborees out in the jungle.

    I will post up pics when all installed.

    A bit of an update from the Hilux guy. Heading off south here in Thailand from Lampang to Rayong to Piak industries then further south to Trat. The plan is to meet up and look at Piaks latest front end replacement for my Hilux. I did not want a big protruding bumper out front and Piak seems to have designed a replacement that follows the lines of the my Hilux Revo. I will be adding pics of the install if I go ahead with it. Originally I was going to order and have it shipped to me here to install myself but talking to the owner he wants to see my truck and install the bumper and of course take pics for their gallery.

    Overall I just added the black hood lip 2 days ago to match with my Black grill. I may stick with the powered coated black from Piak or have it paint matched later.

    Road trip pics coming as I can. Its an 8 day road trip the 4th day is the Piak stop then ending at the island of Koh Kut for 3 days with my wife and some R&R
