Hello Steve and to land from the other side of the pond!

Im from Shropshire in England, where its currently raining and has been for a fortnight.

Please, for the love of God, send that rain here to California. We are in a huge drout!

Is the 2009 Hilux IFS? Looking forward to seeing some pictures of this very nice collection

I think you'll find that this is a very welcoming and nice place to hang out and talk Toyota trucks!

Kind Regards Steve

It's been a loooooooong time since I've seen someone sign off like this.

Bummer. But still cool. Be sure to include close-up pictures of it's "HILUX" badges so we can all become envious!

I got this one from a friend in Australia installed onto my 1981, which would normally read "Toyota 4WD":

Ill have to stick them back on then... one fell off due to the rain and the other got ripped off by a branch but didnt break...Toyota Tough!
Ill include a full spec when i post the pictures (or would you prefer video lol) and of the other one's along with whats planned for them.

Regards Steve.

I've never been to the UK, but you just made me think about what Jeremy Clarkson did to that poor diesel Hilux in Bristol. "The other got ripped off by a branch but didn't break". Hahahaha I love it

As for videos I don't think there are any restrictions to using our YouTube code, which you can use by using this forum code:

Code: [Select]

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnWKz7Cthkk[/youtube]
and will produce this,

So if you have some YouTube clips then have at it --- but otherwise I think you'll need 12+ posts in order to insert standard Flash objects (like Vimeo or Photobucket videos, et cetera)

That's a sweet rig!! Everyone here is much nicer than previous forums Ive been on.

[BigMike]

Very nice, very nice! Question: Is the UK hood scoop functional or is it just a dummy like here in the US?

It's about time you stepped up to a REAL ROCK CRAWLING FORUM.

Its functional, the intercooler is mounted underneath it on top of the motor. I will get round to doing that video... Probably include a walkround of the '09 wont be till the weekend though as very busy at work
