Good Points
comfort, alot better than the old hilux.
very capable off road

What mods are on the list to do?
rear bar to be fitted in a couple of weeks

rear drawers

Why did you buy this vehicle?
bought the wagon to replace my hilux ute - wanted the extra space the wagon offered. Also the live front axle is a big seller

Cheers guys, the idea with the electricals was to hide as much as possible and make it look stock.
Still got those pesky yellow wires hanging out of the dash, which is a kill switch for the antenna. Planing another arb compressor switch to make it match.

Hey mate how do you find the arb compressor go with the 33's. I'm trying to sort out what to get and i'mleaning towards the arb unit. Good idea using the existing mounts for the rear seats. Nice job.

Yeah the arb unit goes well, I got the on board hi flow unit. Got a good deal from a web based seller out of Canberra.

Easy install too, comes with good instruction pack.
