Hi guys went to order a new hilux today and they informed me of an update in july with a september delivery. does anyone got any pics of the update that could help me make up my mind to get one now or wait. cheers scott

thought id put up some pics of the head unit I put in not to bad for the money.fits really well warning big pics and dont know how to shrink them cheers <_<

17 klms and just over 1/4 tank of fuel lol

might have to wait until a cheap enough genuine one comes up if anyone got one that doesn't want it

Good question Chris been thinking exactly the same thing will be waiting for the feedback on this one

Here are some pics: Driver side Hi, I bought some side steps off ebay, they stated 2007-2010 in the listing, but on my 2010Kluger Altitude I cannot work out how they are supposed to fit. I've tried swapping the brackets but still no good. I can't even fine holes that the 6mm nut plates are meant to go into. I picked mine up today will be endeavouring to fit them tomorrow well try anyway Is the 2010 undercarriage arrangement slightly different to 2007-2009? Have I been duped? I see on ebay that similar steps say 2007-2009, not 2010. Any ideas. Cheers. No they will fit. My car is a 2010 build as well. You need to cut the plastics out a 90mm x 45mm rectangle as you see in my pics - although the instructions I have told me to cut a 1'1/2 by 1'1/2 square section out of the underside of the wheel arch guard. DO NOT do this as it is not required. There are a series of well plugs under the plastics that need to be pulled out (easy once you see them) then you feed the 6mm plate in and along and it drops and locates in place for the install. Be prepared to loose some skin when sticking your fingers in at acute angles trying to start threads etc. I picked mine up today hope to get them fitted tomorrow see how i go i got the $339 eBay ones

Passenger Side: Great Pics, thanks for that... Is it possible to get a pic of the actual siide step. The tread pattern, how far it sticks out from the side, how is meets the front mudflap etc. Thanks in advance! Photos of the tread pattern on page 1. that's awesome mate thanks for all that cheers

Which eBay steps did you buy? I didn't have to cut anything on the ones I had. I bought the ones that turn in on the ends - they were linked to earlier in this thread. Update - I started on Saturday and I am a bit of a perfectionist (alot actually) so I lined all the metal to metal surfaces on the bracketry with thin rubber. I then spent a fair bit of Sunday laying on my concrete (cold - still feeling the effects) garage floor to mount the brackets. I figured out pretty quick that the instructions refer/photo of driver's side did not look the same - It is for the Highlander/left drive. So that figured out I took the plastics off and marked them out, cut them and filed/deburred the edges. The front brackets are the hardest and once that was done I could see the finish line. The rear brackets dont need to cut any plastics so straightforward but I didnt have a 19mm deep drive socket so couldnt complete. I like the protection that the side bars will provide the sills and doors from rocks etc. On my 2007 Rav I had a rock flick up and dent this area so hoping the steps prevent this. hay mate good job just wanted to know what is says on the plastic step tread and aprox how far they stick out cheers scott :D Thanks, I have not unwrapped them from the bubblewrap (unusually in different coloured wraps - one clear and the other green???) yet but will let you know what it says, I am about to go out and get a 19mm or 3/4 deep drive socket to complete the job. All done and I have to say they look brilliant, well worth the $360. The quality looks very very good for chinese aftermarket. I would recommend them. A little painful to install the front brackets but the rears and the steps go on easy. They have a grip pattern no words. thanks mate putting my order in tonight any pics would be good to aid install but good job

well got it put in today ended up with this as i come across this uhf at work for free so went with that to see how that runs pics arnt good iphone sorry cheers scott

I've had both sets on my car. The eBay steps were fine. They attach to the car a little differently but still very securely. They stick out a little more than the genuine steps and sit slightly lower. If anything that made them easier for the little ones. The genuine steps are a slightly larger diameter which makes them look 'tougher'. They look so similar though it's hard to go past the $$ saving. There are two different types on eBay, one turns in on the ends like the genuine and the others are straight bars. I had the ones that turn in like the genuine. Hope this helps! Thanks for that ive been tossing up so much about steps and you just made my mind up cheers Ps are they hard to put on? Anyone done a diy on this topic? <_<

i think ill be going a aftermarket system been looking at the kenwood range will have one of them in the not to distant future i think <_<

thanks guys was getting a gme 3420 remote face. Which also allows police channels to be programed into it Will look into the other. I dismissed it at first becuase of the mic button was one of the water proof type, which ive had to replace 3 times in the truck in 2 years. But prob wouldnt get abused as much in the car <_< All good ideas keep them comming guys. cheers scott

Hey guys just wondering if anyone has a uhf installed in their kluger. I have to put one in and was thinking about getting the blank control panel for the heated seats and mounting it in there. Any thoughts or pics of installs would be great. cheers scott

yeah mate wouldnt mind that pics if got any was swaying towards bf all terrains but very expensive for the size these might be another option. cheers scott Hi Scott, I have posted pics on the forum. It appears I didn't "shrink" the pics enough, but you will get the drift. Cheers Marty thanks for that they look good and for that price may be doing the same thanks mate
