Hi All,

Been reading and learning a lot on this forum for a few months now, and thought it was about time I introduced myself.

Recently got myself a 2001 Hilux 3RZ with very low kilometers. I plan to mostly use it for overlanding. The car is stock at the moment, buy I will be making some changes. First on the list is the suspension (probably OME or IronMan) and exhaust (thinking Powerflow Freeflow), and later an aluminium canopy to start with.

Looking forward to learning more and eventually contributing myself to Hilux4x4.

Cheers
