Good to be here

Post by carlo4e »

I decided to join the club after looking for advice on a problem I am experiencing with my Hilux. From the Forum page I found some really good advice (though the problem is not yet solved) and decided to become part of this 4x4 fanatic community. I started my 4x4 "career" about two years ago with a D4D Double Cab, a really tough, reliable vehicle. Unfortunately I lost it in an accident in May 2012 :cry: . I replaced it with a "softer" V6, hoping to continue enjoying the 4x4 life. :thumbup:
Looking forward to having good times with all the Members :D: .

Thank you all. Yes Roofer, it is a Beast, hungry one. The previous D4D felt like it could go anywhere. I still feel sorry for this one.. Will post pictures of the D4D and the "soft" V6.
