Wired the dual battery system myself, was a biatch of a job as there is no room under there!

Sweet lux mate. Looks great, and the flares make the SR look toughAlthough I really hope it wont be that clean too much of the time haha. Rims look nice too.
With luck I'll be replacing my VS with a good secondhand D4D SR5 in a couple months and doing the usual roobar, brush bars, spotties, UHF, lift kit, etc. Hoping to do some touring right across the country and wanted a 4x4 dual-cab that was comfortable on the highway and capable off the beaten track.
What I wanted to do if I chose to go for a SR was to colour code the wing mirrors and door handles. Would look great, better even that the chrome SR5 ones. Ad a bit of uniqueness to it too.
Very jealous lol![]()
Cheers man.
I looked at the SR5, but for what i do the carpet in particular wasn't practical for me, plus i'm personally not a fan of chrome on these so saved 5k and went the SR, more than happy with it
Might colour code the grill too, saw one done and it looked pretty sweet.
Looks awesome Justin,
Had any fun with it yet?
The Blue One
Nah not yet, mabye over easter if i'm lucky![]()
Just installed gps/dvd/ipod/bluetooth blah blah blah unit. It has both igo and oziexplorer offroad tracking which is good. Looks good in the dash too, factory look which is what i wanted.

... You mean it's not factory? Great job! Just shows how little I know about cars (or at least Toyota Hiluxs).
signature was inappropriate and has been removed.
Thanks, yeah i went for it for that reason, looks the goods.
Damn, looking at that pic i really need to clean my ute out!
hey mate, what brand/model head unit is that? any special fitting mods or kits needed? USB interface? I want one!
It's from dig options mate, search him on ebay and you'll find him. Mine's the more expensive one, the ones on ebay are his cheaper models but contact him and he'll hook you up.
It has usb and ipod control. Uses micro sd cards for the maps and has a reversing camera which is very handy. The install is a breeze since it is just plug and play, no wire cutting or joining required.![]()
That's awesome, thanks Juzowas looking at a Pioneer model that had WhereIs mapping for around a grand, but after reading a few reviews turned me off!
How do you find it to use? Are you able to jump between the GPS and Stereo controls, and have music playing while the GPS is displayed? Seems obvious that it would but just wanna be sure. Has it got RCA pre-outs? Because I wanna upgrade the speakers and amplify them.
Haven't posted in here for a while. Have since added rear speakers in the doors and a 4 channel amp. Amp fits nicely under the passenger seat.
Also, a reversing camera which is pretty handy for hooking up the tandems and fuel tankers

Hahaha, cleaned with a Gurney?

Hahahahah, true that. I've gotta tidy my car up. Amazing how much dust gets inside a car that's never used!
