G'day All

[Welchy]

Hi all,

Recently joined, but have used this forum heavily for researching prior to purchasing a Fortuner.

Don't have any pictures of my Fortuner yet as I don't get it for another 2 weeks,

I am getting a white Crusader with the following:

Lovells lift
Bull Bar
Side rails
Side steps
Led Spotties (4wdsupacentre)
Winch (4wdsupacentre)
Rhinn pioneer roof racks
Awning

Will post pic once I get my hands on it.

Hoping to trade the 18" for the 17" rims, as I'd prefer the duellers and there seems to be more options for A/T tyres in 17".

I haven't got a UHF, but am currently looking and would appreciate any recommendations? Looking for something like the GME TX3350

Cheers,

Welchy

For what it's worth, I''ve a TX3350 & like it a lot. I find the sound / volume clarity from the microphone head is pretty good. I had a much earlier GME remote head model but found I had to use a remote speaker to hear properly, as just turning up the volume distorted the sound too much.

The base unit was installed above the accelerator pedal on the right hand side firewall by ARB (no affiliation to them). While it's out of the way where they put it, getting to it for whatever reason could be a pain. Others may have a better option as to where to mount the base unit.

Welcome, new member from Canberra myself.

Just picked up a stock GX so will be keen to see the mods on your Crusader!

[Welchy]

Hey Deeds finally got a delivery date. I'll be picking it up next Tuesday so will post pics.

Also opted to get a snorkel and changed the factory 18" for aftermarket 17" speedy assault rims running 265/70r17. As it turn out cheaper than replacing the stock tyres with a decent A/T.

Welchy did you get the toyota snorkel? or after market?

[Deeds]

Sounds like its worth the wait!

[Skardo22]

is it just me or do the Speedy Assault look similar to the factory GXL wheels?

[Welchy]

Ended up getting the Toyota one.

[Welchy]

Yep they do Skardo. Ended up going with the speedys cause I got a great deal for a set of 5 with BF Goodrich KO2.

[Skardo22]

Need some pics of your Speedy Assaults on if you can, Ive actually been looking at the black ones (wife's car and she wants black wheels) and getting 265/70R17 BGF KO2 as well.

[Welchy]

Can do, will post some more pictures after I pick it up.

[Welchy]

Just got a sneak peak of the car, it's looking good, can't wait

[Deeds]

Does look good!

Toyota bars and steps/sides?

[Welchy]

Yep Toyota bar and steps

[Welchy]
