My 2000 TD Hilux, as been in the family since new... dad bought ir brand spankin new, and I bought it off him with 430,000kms on the clock, it now has 590,000kms on it (2000 model ;) ) and has been the best car ever!
So reliable, touch wood, still original motor, turbo, injector pump etc. Gearbox ...

Im running baby treps (31in ) on my ifs lux and they are great!! :D
Even on the road, in the wet, they hang onto the road better than standard muddies which I have had before, ie mtr's & bfgs mud terrains.
They are not as noisey as you would expect them to be, even after a few kms.
Brand new you ...

Bought my 2000 TD sr5 off dad early last year with 420,000kms on the clock (he had it since new and had it regularly serviced), it now has 480,000kms on the clock (including a faultless 6000k trip through the Simpson Desert) and still going fine.
Gearbox was reco'd at 350,000kms, motor or injector ...

Yeah, dad used it for work and did a fair bit of driving each week as you can see, which, as you say, the diesel just seem to love!

I bought dads 2000 TD hilux off him at 420,000kms (he had it from new and had it serviced every 7000kms.)
10,000kms later I did a trip to the simpson desert and it didnt miss a beat, still have it now with 470,000kms on the clock.
He had the gearbox rebuilt at 350,000kms though.
Its still going ...

Well done guys and to all involved in the event!

Im driving a 2000 model hilux now, and the screen slots straight into the top glovebox, as this is where the airbag is fitted on this model as a option.
But since I dont have one, and instead of using it as a 2nd glovebox, its now used to hold the screen.

Even though I cant twist it towards me ...

What touchscreen are you using and how much was it?.. I have the e-vectra just trying to work out which screen to go with...

Hiya mate, using one of these from ebay, got it delivered for about $230...

Cheap way is to buy a HP e-vectra (they run on 12v) and then grab yourself a touchscreen.

Im running the same setup.
A HP e-vectra, hooked up to a 10.4in touchscreen.

Although the e-vectra only has 2 usb ports, so I have used a 7 port usb hub to plug in any extra bits I need.
ie, cable for ...

Yep! Its on the dvd!
I was watching it before.

Looking good mate!

Got it booked in this morning to get the headlight wiring upgraded. I have 13.8 at both batteries after the car has had a good run. but only 11.4 volts at the H4 plug.

Hi mate, just wonder what problems they found/fixed and the difference it made.
I have just replaced the sealed beams with h4 ...

Rudi said he was finishing them off tonight, so I suppose they will be up tomorrow.

We bombed out through a few mishaps along the way which cost us some valuable time... (dead camera and a staked tyre ...

No I didnt! I was staying on the hume towards melbourne!!
I just didnt turn off at the Seymour exit for a servo as I didnt think the towns would be open at that time of the night. Or... morning as it was! :lol:

Another thumbs up for a Bourke & Wills swag.
Mines a Redgum single and I love it! :cool:
Had it for about 6 years now and gets used a fair bit.

I love the option of zipping back the whole top cover which then exposes a full length flyscreen for those warmer nights.
Also has a cool little doggy ...

I heard PGS in mornington are currently chopping a GU at the moment, so im sure they could give you some tips.

It will be for a 96 DX cruiser.

My brother works at a tyre place and said he can get discounted stuff, so I gave him a list to get back to me with prices.

It has a winch bar (possible winch soon), with a standard rear bumper but looking to get a rear wheel carrier on it.
If I fine a rear bar ...

Looking at putting a 3in kit on the 80, as I can get a discount price on them! ;)
Who has them, what are they like, are you happy with them, or should I buy something else.

The vehicle currently has a sagged suspention lift.
I im hoping to have 265s or 285s as my runabouts, plus 315s as my play ...

Been through about 4 supercheap ones, so I thought I would spend a bit more and get a good one.

Who has bought one of the new ARB compressors like this..... clicky

When I can afford new feet on the pootrol, you will be hearing from me!

Another great event Rudi, Hobzee and all invovled! :armsup:
The bit of rain on saturday killed the dust down a fair bit and made some of the tracks a little more interesting so we heard.

Macca and I were marshalling at a secret checkpoint near 'Wally' with a roast, a couple of bundys and good fire ...

Better bring a spare tape for the video then! I might need it!!
Cant wait, should be great!
