Re: 2014 D4D Driver seat squeak

I have a Vigo 2008 D/c and the drivers seat was making a squeaky noise. I checked all the mounting bolts and they were ok.

Re: Front Runner roof rack bracket failure

I have sent them all the detail. They say they have redesigned the brackets. However they are slightly smaller but made in the same way and no additional support. This was my concern..... the guys in the Landcruiser club have had plenty of problems as well. I don't believe the problem has been addre...

I have a 2008 SRX. I did a SAC chip and intercooler which made a big difference in drive ability and was a worthwhile conversion. Have done 40k since conversion

Bundutop tent on Steeltop Canopy

Hi Guys
Anyone had experience fitting a Bundutec Tent to a Steeltop Canopy.
I have a 2008 Hilux SRX D/C. I am concerned with the mounting on the canopy rails as there will be an overhang onto the cab of 700 to 800mm
I think Doggone(Pierre) fitted one and can give comment
