Looking sharp.
What are your first plans with it mod wise?
If there even are any...

Did u lost the center cap of ur wheel?

Initially I will swap the winch cable for synthetic winch line and swap the roller leads for a smooth lead (have those already from Southeast Overland).

I have some LED light bars I might mount now (or wait till I get a roof rack).

I also need to mount the tie downs for my ARB fridge.

I'm also going to try using my wireless OBD-ii reader with my iPhone and dash command app, so will need to sort a mounting location assuming I can get it to work.

I am considering ordering a bulldog keyless entry kit.

Then once the budget is clear my plan includes (in priority order):

Ceramic window tinting (That Saudi sun is hot)
Clear protector for front end (stops sand blasting effect)
Floor mats or possibly a floor protectant film
Seat covers (can get canvass or leather tailored here fairly cheaply)
Dual battery
Cruise control
CB radio

Then the fun stuff:
Lift kit (still need to decide which one)
35 inch tires
Turbo kit from Graeme
Front bumper (not sure which yet)
Sliders
Skid plates
Rear bumper
Possibly a roll cage
Roof rack
Awning
Water tank
Roof tent
Better stereo and speakers
Fuzzy dice

I had not put them on yet in the first few photos, but I do have them all installed now. I don't have it licensed yet so can't take it off the driveway and have had not opportunity to lose them

Anyone know what width these alloy wheels are? I know my stock tires are 265/70R16 but I can't find the wheel width anywhere.

More than 8 inches?

Those wheels are 16x7. I love those wheels!

 

[saillaw]

Awe, are you positive it's only 7 inch? I like the looks too but if it is only 7 then that means 275 to 285 is the max tire width. I was hoping for min of 295 to 315.

 

[saillaw]

You are correct hzj79lee, I just found the width on the Toyota Australia website

 

[PhrogsPhorever]

After installing the misc parts that came inside the 76, I have one item that I can't identify (no instructions attached).

Any ideas on what this part is for?

I believe that is the left over part taken off when you install the OEM snorkle. Were the air cleaner goes into the quarter panel on non-snork trucks

By the way, you suck! Nice truck

I think wider tire is good for ur area too. If u r hoping for 315 it's better to go for 9 inch.

The part that you show in the pictures connects the snorkel to the air filter, according to the TOYOTA EPC, here are some pics of the EPC so that you can have a general idea.

 

[saillaw]

Awesome Dioscw thanks!! I'll dig into it tomorrow and see if it fits there.

Wow!

...nice gift of Christmas

 

[lugueto]

The piece that came with the truck should be the gasket from the fender for the intake hole of the snorkel.

Good looking car, envious of the ABS. Supposed to be the last batch of the 70 series, or at least the last model year.

I would mount up the spare on the rear door. Simple and clean.

Those plans look awesome! will be wanting to see a build thread!!

Congrats,

Luis.

 

[robustbambi]

Is it wrong that hate i you for having what I can't lol. Fantastic looking truck!!! Congrats man

 

[boozewz]

Congrats on you're new wagon!

Cant wait to see the mods trickle in, and will be keeping a close eye on the cruise control, its something thats badly needed....

Congrats man, nice truck.

I thought Toyota has stopped exporting 70' series equiped with 1HZ engine to GCC, in favour of the 1gr-fe.

" Here are the highlights from the
factory:
2013, 1HZ 4.2L Diesel engine, front
and rear lockers, four wheel disk
brakes with ABS, driver and
passenger air bags, snorkel, winch.
Edit- and 130L fuel tank "

Wow!! awesome truck!
This is really my dream truck..
4.2L diesel mechanical injection, no complicated electrical thingies such as the vdj.
and the lockers,, perfect.
could you please explain more about your 130L fuel tank? what's the difference compared to the previous MY's 90L tank? is it a bigger tank or two tanks setup like the 79 series pickup?

I would kill for a 130L tank!
They are a single tank on the 76 series as opposed to the 79s and 79s which have dual 90L tanks.
