Hi All,
I'm Paul and about 4 weeks ago I purchased my Fortuner Crusade 2016 in the Graphite. I've upgrade from a 2009 Nissan Xtrail which just wasn't cutting the mustard off road or in the towing capacity. My family is growing and I'm looking to spend plenty of time off road. After months of research I finally settled on the Tuner and I couldn't be happier so far. Love the looks, can work around the performance and I'm sure its way more capable than me off road!
List of Mods so far:
1. Paint Protection - When I bought the car it was a Toyota Corporate car, low KMs and a good price. But the paint really needed some work to bring it back and even better than factory. I had a full detail done with an Always Dry 9H-LDC Extreme ceramic coating. It was pricey but water and dirt and grim just fly off it and it looks super shiny and is well protected against minor scratches.
2. Roof Rails - I have had the standard rails removed and Rhino Vortex RLT track mount rails fitted. At the moment I just two arms with a small Rola cage on top, but intend to run 4 with a platform later.
3. Tyres - Have done away with the stockies and gone for BFG K02's. Standard size.
4. Rear Drawers - I spared no expense here, storage and camping options were high on my list, being a "life of the car" mod. I have the two drawer setup, pull out camp kitchen, table, integrated 35L watertank and cargo carrier.
5. Bits - Adding minor bits and pieces: Kings 2.5/3m awning, rear seat protectors to stop the kids kicking the seats.
Planned
Snorkel
Bull Bar with winch, spots
under body protection
upgraded Suspension
Lift
Dual Battery system
Rear Bar wheel/Jerry holder
Long range tank
Fitted UHF
That's probably enough rambling, but I love this thing! can't wait to be away in it more! Great forum have been sniffing around here for ages before posting haha
