A couple photo's from last weekend away with the family. Packing up tonight to go another couple days off-grid camping with the kids out bush. Hopefully have a few more images to share next week.

A couple of happy snaps from last weekend here in Victoria, Australia. Should have a few more photo's to share in next couple days as I go off grid camping with me kids for a couple more days.

if these were available when I installed my 4.8's to my 2016 Hiux, I would have gone them instead......the Hilux could do with a little more "gear" especially when running 35's.

Last weekend I finally had an opportunity to fit/mount and test my camping/touring setup. Saturday I spent mounting up the 3x3 m awning on the passenger side and the 1.4m awning on the drivers side, with the RTT being fitted to the rear rack/frame. Then on Sunday morning I trialled...

Last weekend, went to my friends house where we completed fitment of the front and rear brushbars. These brushbars are supported on the innerside with bracketry to make side impacts more bearable when they occur. Also mounted up the spare tyre mount which has a cover “lock-plate” that...

Small updates..... 1. Wired up the dual row 32" LED light bar on the rear. 2. Bought myself a GPS activated Heads Up Display unit. This plugs into the cigarette lighter power socket, picks up a GPS signal and lets you see how fast your really going (after calibrating) so I don't have to...

That time of year again here where I need to start planning and working towards preparing wood for the coming winter to keep our fireplace burning so the family is nice and warm. Couple more loads like this over the coming weeks and should get a good amount of hard-wood to start processing...

The Ranger is only just starting to get built. He is currently working on an alloy tray/flatbed for the removal canopy to be built, and trial fitting different wheels to gauge what would be the best offset for 35s'. He wants to keep the suspension standard as much as possible as really its a...

Yesterday I had some time with my fabricator to catch-up and continue work on my Hilux. We mounted the rear RTT rack above the tray/flat-bed. This is almost complete…there are just a couple little small items to add to finish it off in a couple weeks. We remounted the rear brush-bars we almost...

In Australia, the first two things the cops will look at, even the uneducated ones, are tyre poke past fenders, and mudflaps. if there is any tyre poke, include just the sidewall, they can slap a defect sticker on your windscreen (called a "Canary" because its Yellow), forcing you to correct the...

So its been over 2 years since I updated this build thread. A lot of modifications have taken place but I didn’t think it prudent to update this thread as my focus was more on doing harder trails and not overlanding….well, that is all now changing. Since my last update I have: Regeared to...

I haven't been on this forum for quite a while. This is my 2016 Model Hilux 2.8D Auto. She has been regeared to Nitro 4.8's, 35/12.5x17 Nitto Trail Grapplers on 17x9 Allied Steel Beadlocks. Runva 13XP Premium Winch and a bunch of other stuff. I am currently finishing off armouring her...

Found the perfect product to mount a RTT above my tub in the new year......this is exactly what Ive been looking for. considering the 3/4 height version. Check out the video on the Performance Suspension Facebook page below...

Todays effort was to refit the Axis bar back on, I then readjusted the height of the coilovers again to where I wanted it taking into account the weight of the bar. I then fitted the 32" light bar to the front bar and wired it all up. Am yet to get round to wiring up the roof mounted light bar...

I reffited the rocksliders last week, and the Rhino platform rack the week before again. I fitted my 42" LED Lightbar yesterday, yet to wire it up. was a bit of stuffing around as I tried to utilise the Rhino LED Lightbar brackets I had, the center roof mounted antenna also got in the way too...

Had a busy day yesterday....aim was to make those tyres fit and work. So i fitted em first thing in the morning to gauge what sort of clearance issues I may end up with. First check was inner clearance to the UCA's....all good. Drove out of the garage to gauge the stance with the 295's -...

Tyres got fitted to the wheels yesterday -

This morning i fitted a set of Superbump progressive bumpstops. These are a 70 grade as opposed to the previous 60 grade, meaning they are firmer than before. On my n70 I ran the 60 grade ones with a 6mm spacer without issue. But testing in a press has shown that because these compress...

Everything is done and fully adjusted, only alignment left for tomorrow. This mornings effort - These are the PSR arms looking from underneath. To adjust these PSR arms, looking from the inner side of the arm outwards, you need to first: 1. Loosen the side pinch bolt. 2. Loosen the silver...
