Hi all.

Doing the usual intro thread now that I have finally bitten the bullet and made a purchase. I’ve come from a 2011 NT Pajero, which itself was a great car and taught me a lot about 4wding and the kind of driving I want to do.

I have just bought a 2014 Y61 ST Titanium edition in black

I haven’t picked it up from the dealer yet but can’t wait

Cheers

Ps don’t hate me because of my username. It is a nickname I’ve had for over 15 years and totally unrelated to Toyota’s or the drinks

Welcome to the forum mate. In WA you would want to remove or get the dealer to reposition the light bar underneath the top bar of the roo bar. not sure about other states. Very jelous though, I like black ones.

Nice truck, I have the same one in white. If it doesn't have one already, stick a catch-can on it. I also fitted a "iDrive" Throttle Controller which makes nicer to drive, with no delay or "flat spot" when taking off. It also can "deaden" the throttle response when going "rough' off road. Worth the cost in my opinion.
Enjoy.

Welcome mate ,I'd be too scared to go bush in case it got dirty or scratched

Lovely car. But she will be one harsh mistress. I’ve had black cars before. Never again. First thing is to check for a leaking intercooler. If it’s not leaking now it will be soon. Enjoy your new ride. They’re a great ride.
