The Post a Picture of Your Ride as it Sits Thread

Not sure if this is the same thing, but I wondered why my latest pair of Merrells had white flecks in the sole. I still wear them occasionally but I bought some new Skechers for the warmer weather.

Sure looks like it to me

Were they a cold weather model?

I looked for the box they came in, I usually keep them for storing stuff, but I must have thrown this one out, good on me. I bought them last summer, I guess that's why they were heavily discounted, or they sent a shipment to Australia by mistake, there's not much call for them here.
 
My buddy sent me this and I'm not kidding you guys when I say...if I was standing infront of this car my knees might give out

Is it legal to make something this incredible...now you wanna say "Greatest in the World", this here qualifies

Just waiting for some rain… should I get black lug nuts?

I think the chrome lug nuts flow well with the chrome exhaust tips. If the exhaust tips were carbon or painted black then I would say yes. But at the end of the day it is your ride, do as you please.
 
Not mine......yet. But they've finally made it to the dealers here, so thought I'd go in and have a look. This is the range topping "Kakadu", yeah, that's what they call it. I really like it, and I may actually get one, in a few years, used. The weird thing is it gives me very strong FJ feelings sitting inside it. Very similar sight lines, but better, similar shaped mirrors, upright windshield, nice thick doors. A much nicer interior of course. And this is the colour I would go for, Dusty Bronze.

Everyone said I needed black lugs when I did a wheel swap, but I didn't see the point. Then I caved in and fitted some, suddenly I understood what people were saying. Such a simple change, but a dramatic difference to how the car looked. More cohesive in my opinion.

I've been watching all the reviews, I like the 1958 better, and I think I'd like the turbo petrol 4 that is sold over there.

What's the issue with the turbo diesel/hybrid powertrain

Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk
 
The hybrid part will probably be good, but they had major issues with the Diesel Particulate filter on the previous 2.8 TD motor in the Prado, Hilux, and Fortuner. And I don't like the power delivery of TDs, their fine for cruising, but slow off the mark.

I'd think the hybrid part would help with low-end grunt
