Hi everyone, Im Seth from Dunedin. Im 22 and have owned hilux's since I got my licence 7 years ago(with no plans to get anything else!) I currently drive a 2004 double cab with the trusty 3.0TD engine. So far its got a TJM winch bar, Ironman 9500lb winch, 32x11.5 Wrangler mudders, and the all basics. Future plans are a suspension upgrade and a difflock, on board compressor and a decent inverter(advice wanted) Ive just joined a 4wd club and I want to learn as much as I can about hiluxs and 4wding:) I just discovered ORE yesterday and I cant believe I havent come across it before, what an awesome site!

Welcome Seth,
May take you a while to read through, but there is certainly a wealth of info here.
Don't be afraid to ask questions either, lots of knowledge here
This was my first port of call when I decided to get into the 4WD'n and its been an awesome place to learn

Hows it going Seth - Sounds like a nice truck you have there. I'm in Dunedin as well, so might have to do a trip sometime. What club did you join?
Cheers
Mike

Hey mate. Millsy from Student Cars here. I was talking to you at BP the other day whilst in my flatdeck Landcruiser. Saw your hilux outside vasity whilst dropping Timotheus off today I think. Looks a bit too shiny to be taking into the tough stuff, but you'll soon fix that.

Haha yea that was it. That landcruiser of yours looks like its never seen gravel before, let alone mud!

Um, yeah, fair point that one. It hasn't seen much aside a few Southland back roads during my ownership. Will be offered for sale soon, so probably won't see the mud at all I'm afraid.
