The front rack looks like a bit of overkill just for a solar panel so I hope there’s other things going on it. Great colour change, it looks good! Red is my jinx colour, always have trouble with the boys in blue!
@Young_.and._Free As long as you don't mount the tent to the front rack it should be ok. Because the cabin and the tray move separately, you can't mount anything solid between the two. Things will break if you do.
@@patelliott8724 only place to mount it is on the front, tent goes over cab, but I guess we’ll see, as I said, all my utes have had the roofracks and bolts and they’ve been fine
@@Young_.and._Free My rooftop tent overhangs the cabin but is not connected to the cabin in any way. If I put my roof racks on, they sit underneath the tent so there's not much point using them unless I move the tent to overhang the rear of the canopy more.
I nearly got t-boned by a crop duster in my red Hilux 😂 I'd just been out to my friends husband who had a panel beater shop in wongan hills when I lived in nungarin so he could swap out some rusty doors... I was heading home just afterwards and this plane had just finished spraying a crop and had to gain altitude very very quickly to avoid hitting me driving past 😂😂😂 I needed new jocks after that 😂😂😂😂
@Young_.and._Free lol I drove a VB Commodore that an uncle in Northam had just painted down to his daughter in Perth once. I had to go through roadworks on the way back, lots of loose stone flicking the new paint :(
I always wondered why you didn’t bother masking up the car when spraying the tray leaving black overspray on it Nice colour mate not too many that are red getting around
Would have liked to see some racing stripes down the middle or even flames down the side. Everyone knows this would have doubled the power to the wheels while halving the fuel economy, not to mention it'd be totally f*&king cool.
When did you hit 1k subscribers? Last I checked you had less then 100? Glad to see you are finally growing, you deserve it.
@@UserMW14 I hit it roughly 3 months ago
Looks fantastic love the red and black .. have a great Christmas!
@@Phil62nz I keep forgetting Christmas is only a few days away 😂, merry Christmas to you also
Colour looking fresh! Good tent as well I run one for awhile, less weight and still quick as a hard shell to setup/pack
@@HollisTravels that is correct, less weight is better in a lotta ways too

@MitchellLabinsky it definitely is a unique colour for a Hilux

not enuf red car
@@Finger_Blasterr yep, that’s why I didn’t cover it 😂, because I had the plan to change the colour
G'day Josh can't see if you attached roof rack to the tray If so the cab and tray move at different rates could cause cracking Keep up the good work
@@DaleElston-ux1xr I see, I’ve had many ute roofracks attached to the trays and never had any problems, I’ll keep it in mind tho
