If I put it off any longer it’s going to get too hard & I will not do it at all.

When I look at the mods list it does look extensive but I’m a long way from finished yet.

Rather than re-write some of the mod fit-outs, for now at least I will just place the link to the appropriate thread.
A Little History About Me.
I grew up in a Toyota household, with the first 4x4 experience being 1968 SWB Landcruiser (I would have been about 7 years old at the time). We traveled far & wide in that vehicle & I have many fond memories being out in the bush or outback growing up.
Dad was one of the founding members of The Toyota Landcruiser Club of Victoria. I have a lot of very good memories of that time of my life. This forum reminds me in many ways of the early days of the TLC, in that everybody was so friendly, and had a common cause & interest, I hope that never fades from here. All Cruiser drivers would also wave to each other as they passed on the road, something some of us Triton drivers try to do.
There were 6 in the family & Dad often didn’t know how to travel light (think I know where I get it from). We would travel 6-8 hours for a trip with not much more than just enough room to put our feet – no such thing as legroom, we considered that as normal & just what we did back then. There were also no such things as electronic devices, DVD’s, iPod’s etc to keep us entertained, games of I spy & Dad’s cassette player (The Shadows, Marching Bands, & Classical Music.) We had no control over what was to be played, probably the reason I can listen to a wide range of music now, with the exception of Rap & Screamo.
My First 4x4
Originally I was looking to purchase a second hand 4x4 as I didn’t want to layout big $$$. I tow a small van on holidays & also have a 3.85mtr tinny for fishing/exploring. The old Fairmont wagon was struggling with the van at over 300k on the clock & the air conditioner was shot. It was not very comfortable in summer & I needed to be able to launch the tinny from the sand at our holiday spot. I also had always wanted my family to experience some of what I had as a kid & see some of the bush & outback sights, for that we needed a 4x4.
I did the usual looking around & was considering a Navara


Much to the wife’s horror I haven’t stopped spending money on it since. (sorry, that should read I haven't stopped improving it since
