Congrats Sir. I also bought a Hilux SR5 - It is a super machine when compared to a Hilux Raider. Most people don't notice the difference between the two.
Good on ya Paul, ur a Toyota Man now! Congrats mate the Lux looks great & Im sure it’ll give ya many a great travels & times to come. I checked out the SR5 last week locally and was told it was probly a 6-8 month wait atm, I was expecting more. Cheers
Interesting its called a snorkel when it doesn't increase the wading depth... Maybe calling it a raised air intake is more accurate. Congratulations on buying reliability. Your calves thank you 😉
Well done Paul. Great looking rig and no doubt a very capable car. Thought you may have gone for a winch though. No doubt ill see you (and your new rig) on your next subscriber day. Enjoy!!
Hi Paul, enjoyed your video. I have an SR5 on order since end of November and have just learnt that it will be in the August build batch. I have an ARB order in with what you had plus front & side rails. I am keen to know if you had the GVM upgraded before it was registered. I hope you enjoy the tracks in your new rig. Cheers, Barry.
Hi Barry and cheers mate. No I didn’t have a GVM upgrade but if you are getting the upgraded rear springs tell them to licence it first. Mine failed it’s inspection by 15mm because of the 300kg constant load springs I had put in. Because the vehicle had no weight in the back it sat up to high and failed rego. They measure from the ground to the top of the B pillar. That is what one of the issues was I had in the final week it was a nightmare.
Cheers Paul. Thanks for the warning. It's on my radar to be aware of something like that. Just as, with the extra mods, on paper the weight is increasing quickly and the 950kg payload is getting used up fast. Will be doing a GVM upgrade to keep it legal. Appreciated.
@@perth4b4adventures I meant the Stuart highway, since your car has speed limitation/tracking, you can bet people are driving faster than 130km on a highway where there's not much people around in other cars but you'd be stuck doing just under or exaclty 130 (not condoning of influencing speeding, just saying some cars perhaps should be speed limited 🙃)👀
