Very good, I'll keep an eye on this thread to monitor progress. I'm hoping to have lots of spare time on my hands by November... Tasmania would be nice as well. Get there soon to see the 4WD tracks and remote areas soon, there has been significant pressure to close off tracks and wilderness...

You and the vehicles will be up for a challenge with the Canning Stock Route at that time of year. Average temps for those months: 100 Deg F (38 Deg C) and highest rainfall time of year 1.5 to 6 in (37 to 150 mm, highest during January).\ Should be a challenging route! Out of interest, have...

Scott, Any ETA for Australia and the Canning Stock Route (i.e. 2012 or 2013)? Cheers, P

Well done with the updates so far and thanks for sharing. Two years is a long time when you are sitting at home reading about the future adventure on your screen but behind the wheel that time will go by fast. I've got two questions: 1-Any more info on the vehicles besides what was posted on...

A black vehicle in Australia is very hot to touch but with today's AC technology, the interior temps are fine. The only other gripe is that it's impossible to keep clean! Yes, the holes are into a sheet metal cross member not the roof. Pretty straight forward really, key is to get yourself a...

These are the two connectors your will find when removing the stock console. Here is how I wired the console up. Hope this helps someone else. Cheers.

Roof console - wiring sorted Managed to get it sorted last night. In the roof of the 100 there are two connectors as follows: One two wire connector with these colours: Solid red White with black line One three wire connector with these colours: Solid red with grey bands White with black...

Outback Roof Console - Installation dramas I originally had this posted over on a Aussie forum (LCOOL.org = LandCruiser Owners On Line) for some help but may be useful for 100 series owners here considering a roof console. Just wondering if anyone else has had issues fitting an Outback Roof...

The roof console does require you to drill four small holes in the sheet metal for secure fastening. No big deal really. The most difficult part was sorting out the wiring... A few photos of the console in place with iCom 440 Pro radio.

Hilux payload The questions was asked but not answered (valid for a 4x4 diesel with dual cab): Kerb weight (Kg) - 1940 Kg Gross vehicle weight rating (Kg) - 2780 Kg Payload = 840 Kg or 1848 lbs More details here: 2012 Toyota Hilux The Hilux is a solid platform for travel. Most people...

I'm sure you'll enjoy this roof rack. I've owned one for one year now and it's moved from the 80 to the 100. Looks good.

Very funny. I had not encountered actual birds but though it could be possible...

1. Year, model, color, etc: 2004 HDJ100R Black - Manual transmission 2. Name of owner/screen name: Pierre/p1michaud 3. How long have you owned your 100 series? Is this your first? Two months and it's my first 100 series but third Toyota 4. Mileage at date of purchase and present mileage: 139...

Yeah, the manuals from 2004 or newer are very difficult to find in good condition. I also wanted one with less than 150 000 Km on it thus the long distance hunt. I was wondering that. This one does not have the velcro but I've used a zip tie in the vent to keep it in place. Cheers, P

Figured I'd put a few photos from this weekend: Now, I need to get some close up shots of the modifications to date.

Missed this first time but nope I've been staying dry!

Nothing like real world testing to see if your ideas work out. Well done on keeping it simple yet effective. Perfect!

Don't worry it's not factory Toyota! It's called a dash mat and as Colin pointed out it's to prevent the dash from cracking due to the harsh sun. Very common in this part of the world. Besides the look the only down side is that when you are on a very steep climb and it comes flying off the...

We've been on our maiden voyage with the trailer in tow, what a difference. I was actually able to pass going up hill! I've completed the following: Set up the front suspension. It has a diff drop in the front and was sitting at 765 mm from bottom of rim lip to bottom of fender. A bit too...

Vehicle has been sold The landcruiser has been sold. Nearly shed a tear as it drove away. The good news is that there are plans for it to go visit Cape York in July of this year. That means there is a chance I might see it up there and that makes me happy. :sombrero:
