Troy,
My Hilux is a 1993 Diesel Dual Cab, 60mm over standard King springs,OME full set of greaseable shackles,Adjustable Koni shocks, 50mm body lift,32x11.5 Mud Terrains + 2 spares, Front Air Locker/ Compressor, 129L fuel tank, IPF lights,steel bars all round, dual batteries,
UHF radio, Fibreglass canopy,
snorkel, K&N air filter, Extractors/ 2 1/4in. exhaust. There will be just the two of us so I have pulled out the back bench
seat and put in a steel tray with welded tie down points that uses the existing
seat belt bolts that will hold the 40L 3-way fridge and a 60L icebox. I've just put in a new clutch, wheel bearings, radiator, hoses, belts, oils, diff breathers etc. We are leaving from the
Gold Coast in July and plan to head up the East coast to
Cairns and then on through the
Daintree and
Cooktown then across to Lakefield Nat. park and then up to Wiepa where we will most probably spend the next wet season before moving across the Northern Territory.There is no time limit but we can't really spend a lot more money unless it is absolutely essential. My main concern is water storage. We have three 20L water containers with taps which we plan to store in padded milk crates but I'm not sure whether this is the best way as there is no room left under the vehicle to put a
water tank so I was thinking of something to go in the tray, what are your thoughts on this so far?
With Thanks
PAUL
