GDay!
This is my first post on a blog, anywhere. I'm not big on typing either....
I bought a 2010 110 a few months back with 70k ams on it in great nick in and out.
Then, a week or so back i watched it get pummelled by hail from my lounge room window. The insurance assessors looked at it this morning and told me it needs a new roof and possibly guards too but they would rather not fix it as its a bit of a specialist job.
Anyone know who could do the job for me? I live on the Central Coast NSW so Sydneys an option.
Also, I'm setting of on a round Oz trip with my wife and 3 kids next year (for the year) starting in January. I will be towing a pop top caravan (Jayco, around 2t loaded) most of the time and we'll camp out wherever the van won't follow. My deefer is stock mechanically with just a few bolt on mods (BBar, rock sliders, brush bars, roof racks and tow bar.
I'm going to fit diff, sump & steering guards & wading breathers, LR tanks, internal water tank, another battery w management system, a soft solar panel, an overhead console, CB, USB ports, rear bumper w spare wheel & j can holder, roof rack & ladder, winch (ill fit the super cheap auto 10k pound one that was doing the job on my hilux) the fridge and possibly a lift up side window in the back. Any additional suggestions welcome...
Does anyone have input on radiator, intercooler and oil cooling? A bloke in a 4wd shop was strongly suggesting i would need to upgrade these (along with axles, flanges, engine re map) I'm concerned about the budget!!
