Your thin wheels and tyres are perfect. Keep them. I recommend a set of Australian made halogen spotlights from Fyrlyt or Lightforce. I recommend a sun visor. Made in Australia by Hy-Way Sun Visors. Get it from Toyota or Hy-Way themselves. Paint it flat black underneath. I recommend a 2nd fuel filter after the factory one. Diesel Care can help you. We use them. They are good.
@@NorthOz That's all you need. Just a stolen milk crate, an esky and a swag. Simple is so much better. No need to max out the credit card and re-mortgage the house. As I have gotten older I have realised there is only 4 important things in life - health, family, freedom and integrity.
G'day Mark, I hope you are well. Yeah, I bought myself a new car recently, 98 Toyota Corolla Conquest hatchback 5-speed manual 1.8 litre Twin-cam Inline 4. Colours, Purple. She absolutely flies like a rocket. I do have quite a few videos on my channel that you may be interested in checking out some point. Cheers take care. From William 👍 Mount Gambier South Australia
if you have done any research in the toyota v8, you know those airboxs are prone to dusting your engine, regardless on keeping your "warranty" or not...goodluck with toyota honouring a rebuild
Great video as usual Mark As you said in the video the next upgrades is Rims and tyres especially if you intend to do vic high country definitely need more than cheese cutters as you said. Cheers mate Paul
Hi Mark, are you worried about insurance/warranty with a 2 inch lift. Toyota insurance told me directly they only accept 1 inch lift and 1 inch bigger tires. Also if you het bigger tires are you going to change the diff gear to bring it back to factory ratios?
Excellent question. Will definitely look into the diff ratios. Regarding the suspension warranty, it all depends on your relationship with the dealer and what they would be willing to cover. A chat with the dealer is a good place to start for sure. For me, I’m not worried about my warranty with wheels and a small lift 👍
@@NorthOz might have missed it but do you have another fuel filter. Some questionable fuel stations in Oz. I don't believe I've seen one in yr vehicle, seems like mandatory kit.
Correct. Unfortunately, the cost for that kit is $300 and the wiring has to go all the way to the back. This was only $200 and tapped into my parker lights. Took me an hour and I was up and running. I’m not saying this is better, but for me it was the better option
@@NorthOzwhat maps can run through standard head unit other than Android auto/apple car play. I just bought the arb rear vision mirror style rear view mirror. It can take 4 cameras and for some unknown reason has a microphone.
Was looking at one of the new 2.8 single cabs. Just can't bring myself to spend 92k for such a basic car, especially with a 4 cylinder. The V8 could be justified some what. Government and mining is the reason these are so expensive and they don't mind paying the price and Toyota knows it. Just makes it too expensive for private buyers.
Completely agree. I don’t see the value proposition for the 4 cylinder. After owning 2 vehicles with that engine and transmission, I was ready to move on to something different. I also didn’t pay $90k as well so that helps 👍

Thanks mate! Great recommendations! I’ll look into them. I like the skinny wheels too. Suits it I reckon 👍

You know the genuine head unit can take a reverse camera and also have maps

Is that automatic or manual???
5 speed manual
Oh okay.
What happened to the hilux?
Sold it for this. Sorry mate
@@NorthOz it’s ok as long as your happy
What happens if you upgrade your tyres, doesnt look like much room for your spare
Good question, heaps of room for a 35+. I just need Pete at PSE fabrications to cut me a new rod that goes through the mount and we are good to go 👍
