so heres my new toy,
so far:

2008 toyota hilux vigo
3.0 crd
5 speed tranny
dual optimas < yellow tops>
on board air
arb front and rear
33x10.5 bfg at's
full camper conversion with all the tricks, shower, air con, kitchen, bed
on board generator, gps, on board sat phone,
long range fuel tanks
on board welder
all the tools one could ever need

Thats what it came with,

now what it needs:

front and rear winches & high clearance bumpers
more lift,
solid front end + beefed up rear
35-37 inch tires not sure yet
rear wheel well trimming
lots of body protection/tow points

thats about it for now.... so the build begins.
hopefully we will be able to by early next year go from bangkok where i live up through burma, and across china on the silk road for a few weeks of fun...

"Stock" sounds a little better at your dealership than mine :D. Looking forward to the pics.

Check on the regs, if they exist and if you can find them, on the laws regarding the sat phone or any other radio communications you carry.

You may have an $ugly$ time crossing borders with it.

Nice vehicle, just need a magnifying and a sore neck to look at it. Oh well, good work.
