This site has been a great source of information, inspiration and expenditure!! I didn’t realise how many things I just absolutely had to have.
That said, I thought I would share what I’ve done and plan to do to my 2013 150 Altitude D4D. I bought it brand new in 2013 as an upgrade to an 8-year-old Subaru outcrack, which was a great vehicle until I replaced the clutch and the engine in the same year.
I hadn’t done much 4wding and was keen to have a capable vehicle to take me on the beach and do a bit of gravel road driving – little did I know how addictive this would become.
Modifications so far
Future modifications
I will dig out some photos over the next few days.
