well i finally sold the discovery and picked up my new truck on Saturday. took a bit longer than i hoped cos the boys at Northcoast 4x4 had to put all the fun bits on, must say they did a sensational job. well done guy's.4283842839.
Line-X spray in liner, Canopy and racks with internal support, 145ltr Fuel tank, Bull bar and 9k LB Winch, UHF, 2inch Old man Emu suspension lift, snorkel and the erps. now all thats left to do is the chip once i've run it in and a 3inch exhaust system. i will have it sprayed with rust proofing as i'm not sure as to how effective the electronic rust prevention really is. cant wait to get out and amongst it.

Sorry guys I'm a Toyota man but it still looks good. As they say whatever floats your boat.

I was the same, although for what you pay for the SR5 i got the whole Truck inc all my extras. the guy's at Garry Cricks in Noosa really looked after me. i think Toyota are tryto price themselves out of the market. then i heard on the news that Toyota Head office in Japan have asked their Govt for assistance due to the global economy??

I have a D40 and have put Air Bags in the rear and my Nissan looks like it is the same height as yours with the 2 Inch lift kit in it. Ithought it would look a bit taller than that. I am surprised.

Nice ute mate. Love the car colour, the colour coded bars, winch , snorkel and UHF there is nothing else more you need really. Nice car will be a head turner! I have a few 4x4's through work and recommend both the spray and erps as the erps alone is just not good enough. Nicely put together

The rear wheel arch is 925mm high, not sure what the airbags height is like but the 2inch is all i can legally do in QLD, so i'm told. thats with standard tyres, once there done i will be putting bigger ones on, which should give me a bit more.
