My Dear 4x4 Compadres,

After enjoying my 96 Prado for almost 2 years now, I have recently purchased a Thai Hilux Vigo 2006 model.

It comes with FOX Sports suspension and Mickey Thompson tyres that were pre-installed by the previous owner.

Under the hood we have 1KD-FTV, turbo inter-cooler engine.

Stay tuned for the upgrades and photos...

Initially I was considering going for MT tyres, but as soon as I put them on, I realized I much prefer the comfort and grip of the Mickey Thompsons.

Currently the rig stands as is.

Only future plans include a good set of rims. Right now the size is 265/70/17 on Mickey Thompson tyres.

I would like to switch to 15 inch hollow rims to push the tyres out a bit of the fender flares. The hunt continues...

Tastefully done. Looks serious not just a poser.

All looks well, except for the snorkel (my personal opinion). Also, zero offset wheels or spacers will compliment the fender flares more and enhance the overall look of the truck.
