New Perth Fortuner member

[John]

G'day,

I am brand new to the Forum and brand new to Toyotas. I have a GXL. Coming from Suzuki's some might call it an upgrade others might not

So far the vehicle has factory snorkel, roof rack and tow pack. I have a long list of modifications I am working towards mostly for comfortable touring.

So far the two beach runs I have been on I am very impressed. 15psi seems my go to pressure, high range and traction control off. I had a play with low and the diff locked but for sand I found momentum was more helpful than the locked rear so kept it in high.

Keen to see a few more of these on the tracks around Perth.

hey john,could you do me a massive favour and measure from the top of the factory rails to the top of the highest point on the roof platform?
i want the same for my tuna but its still has to fit in the garage,
cheers

[John]

Hey Longprong, sorry for the late reply I am taking the rack off tonight for maintenance ill take a measure for you

[John]

Longprong, I have a few accessories on top of the flat platform so it makes it a bit higher. In total from the ground to to top of the awning brackets it comes in at 2meters. The side rails I added sit 116mm above the factory rails... hope that helps

[John]

Hey deeman111 yes a convoy meetup could be fun! Theres a facebook page "Perth Fortuner Offroad" i have started theres a few WA Fortuner owners joining every know and then. Im hoping it can become a social page with regular trips. Feel free to join and post a pic. If we get enough numbers ill see if a meetup cant be arranged
