    Hi Guys/Girls.

    My name's Alex. I'm from Wellington, New Zealand.
    I'm constantly led to this forum when searching the internet, and know a couple of peeps who are on here. Thought I may as well have an account and stop stalking you all :)

    I own a 1992 Hilux SR5 Double Cab. Had the truck for the last 5 or 6 years, and have slowly worked on it from its original factory state.
    I've done all the common mod's - except for anything major! Haha. Static low, Surf front, 4x4 guards, factory shaven style side, 17" steels, and lots of other little things. Would love to re-power at some stage in the next few years.

    Here's a couple of pic's....

    I've got a build thread on the truely awesome minitruckin.co.nz in the static build section (Alex's 92 Double Cab Hilux)

    And you should definitely like our local minitrucking group's bookface page (https://www.facebook.com/WellingtonTruckingFriends)

    Comments welcome! Cheers :)

    Welcome, Alex! I love seeing non-USA Toyota trucks.

    How about some photos of your interior? I'd like to see that RHD set-up.

    Thanks for all the positive comments guys!!! :)

    Hi Rick, I don't think I've ever taken a proper picture of the interior. Here's the only one I could find, although the truck now has Surf seats in it so they are a little different.

    They're 17x9's and if I remember correctly I'm running a 215/40 Gt Radial tyre

    Mmmmm so clean. I love the look of the double cab with an extra cab tray. It's one proportion of mine I'm not a big fan of - the tray just looks a bit to short.
