Hi Dave, nice to meet you buddy :thumb2

Truck looks really nice n clean. You've already done the essentials so I'll wait for the patrol mutters to come online and comment :nenau

Get a winch fitted in the bumper and good selection of recovery gear, job done. Looking far too clean for me though :lol
Put an alarm on your axles though as there's at least two members on the prowl for some :sly
Welcome along by the way

Looks very nice, yep winch can be handy but not essential depending on what you plan on doing.

First aid kit comes to mind, Also some basic spare parts. Maybe a set of wheel bearings etc.

Maybe a set of wheel bearings etc.

Good point :lol

welcome to the club chap, I am totally disgusted in your truck for many reasons:

1- I want it
2 - its very clean and tidy
3 - I want it

:thumbs:bow

**is that a custom front bumper??

 

[Fez_uk]

You won't need any axles though, can I have them?

 

[Sweety]

Very nice motor:thumb2

It's a 2 week laneing trip across the pyrneese mountain's France Andorra and Spain. Camping all the way with some wild camps as well.
I did some of it last year in a land cruiser and didn't do half of the tracks and lanes well worth a trip if you get a chance!

Andy

285/75 16 BFG AT's

 

[Grundyd]

It's a Iron Man bumper not the best fit wish I went for the ARB one.
Winch will be going in just need to have a chat to David bower next time I'm at his house as my god farther lives next to him.
Next mods in the garage are Hannibal full roof rack, fox wing awning and a ski box for the oz tent.
Want to get out as much as I can this year wales will be one and may be Yorkshire as well.
Will try and get a pic when it's on.

Thanks for all the positive comments!

Don't think so bud last time I was on the M6 would be December sorry.

 

[Andy L]

Just wondered Dave, which Cruiser did you have and how does the Trol compare with it?

Andy

 

[cncfabs]

Nice Andorra used to do quite a bit of shopping there in the 90's:naughty

 

[Barrbeast]

Very nice Trol there bud, can't wait till I have the spare funds to put a lift on mine! :naughty :thumbs

You just need to get rid of those steps...

By the way (I could well be wrong!) but I don't think that bumper will be road legal without the winch in it (EU regs) :nenau
