My wife and I are headed to Scotland for 10 days in May.
(May 10th - May 23rd)

I expect some delays in order fulfillment but will have some support staff to answer emails and pack a few kits while we're away.

We're headed to Edinburgh, Glasgow, and many other spots I dare not attempt to pronounce. A pin-pal of mine, Paul has graciously offered up his 1HD-FTE powered HDJ101 to us while we explore the countryside. Who knows? Maybe I'll 2UZ swap his truck and pack up the 1HD in my carry-on

Go check out his YouTube channel if you have a moment. Lots of good maintenance content and thick accents.

Gave him a sub

Party time! Gonna go test these on the rocks this weekend…

1HD-FTE stock is a slow pig. HDJ101 RHD kinda sucks to drive because it’s so slow. Still amazing but I’m definitely over the diesel hype (hot take)

Did you spot any 105s?
When I was in AUS I was always trying to see under all the 100s if they were IFS or not. I only saw 1 while I was there, I think they are pretty sought after no matter where you are in the world.

Non spotted yet, no. In fact so far I’ve only seen Hilux-es and one Prado…lots of Defenders though

Wishing I was back in the UK.

Center section complete with bling, high clearance (as high as you can get pretty much- short of cutting into the body and angling the frame but whatever)

Tested it on the rocks and it held the weight of the truck on a small rock. Pretty solid.

Grinder and paint…

Sounds like you need a good under bonnet refresh and upgrade. Its a major exercise if you are game enough (silly enough) to start down that journey. There are many tweaked diesel cruisers down here in NZ & Australia.
