Hi, I didnt end up going ahead with it. The rails themselves are very pricey, and shipping from the USA was almost as much as the rails themselves!

I have spoken to an installer who has already fitted systems to the Kluger. He said the spearkers were fairly good and the head unit was crap.

Thats exactly what Ive heard, and its often the case with car audio.

Let us know how your install goes!

Looks cool, but can you imagine pulling too close to the gutter one day and cheese-grating those rims? :o

Also, Im no expert, but wouldnt it mess up the speedo? Not to mention the comfort of your ride?

With all those cupholders they need to install a toilet.

Im sick of wearing space diapers.

Its an elite club. ;)

Umm 3 or 4?

Hi Joe, dont forget to at least post an exterior shot of your Kluger with the foggies on!

KXR Fog Light owners unite! :P

I use the Meguiars NXT Generation Car Wash too.

But you should follow it up with the NXT Wax. This stuff is like a polish and wax in one, dead easy to apply. Let it dry to a white haze and towell it off.

Recommended to put it on at the start of each season, i.e; 4 times a year.

Gives the car the 'wet look'

I thought the little light was a UV light to illuminate the control markings on the steering wheel.

The lights on the steering wheel are self-illuminated.

The uv light thing pointing down seems to direct more toward the console.

Hi, my brother-in-law has the CVX and he hasnt reported any problems.

One thing with the first gen Klugers, the safety features improve as you go up in the models; CV, CVX and Grande.

The safety features on the new Kluger are the same across the board.

One thing you can do, is to try and find a CVX with the Safety Pack. My bro-in-law paid about another $2k for it, I think it added more air-bags and traction control (or mightve been vehicle swerve control)

has anyone noticed that the small hole in the middle of the interior light is also a light. it seems to be on all the time and lights up the part of the center console aroung the gear shift. i can't find a switch to turn it off and it's only visible at night when there are no street lights around.

Actually I really like this light. Its a soft blue and gives a nice ambience to the cabin in my opinion.

The white IS very nice...

If our car was written off tomorrow, Id go white this time around I think

Glad it was nothing more serious Gary.

I noticed my first tiny stone chip on the car yesterday.

We have the 2WD and we're happy. Roughly 11-12 litres per 100ks around town, low 10s on the freeway.

Dont forget, the AWD option is another $4500. If you're not planning to go offroad often, it may not be worth it. Ive actually driven on a lot of fire trails and offroad surfaces as Im a mountain biker on the weekends. The clearance and approach angles of the vehicle are great and Ive not been stuck yet.

Im more than happy with the safety features of our vehicle, even though its not AWD.

I believe the 2WD version has lower servicing costs ultimately too.

The colour choices are; Green, Green or Green :P

We have two bubs, theyre both in the rear passenger (not middle) seats.

I think the filter saw; A-R-S-E amongst the word; CA-R-S-E-AT -

LOL!

Congrats man, they are an astounding vehicle. Ive traded from a Lexus to my Kluger and I wouldnt go back!

You should talk to Taka here on this forum, he uses his Kluger to tow a RX7 as well. :) Think he the prez of the Mazda car club too.

I had read stuff here re people who were not happy with the park brake and I was not happy with mine - it seemed to be at the very end of it's travel to get it to work so I asked them to check it - they adjusted it and it is better now --- but you get charged for "adjustments"

Ive noticed this in our car too. I pushed down, almost to the floor the other day, and we still rolled backward.

Hi Don, looks great! (Arent you glad you didnt paint those black bezels?) :)

Looks a million bucks. ;)

The paint is starting to look a bit tired after only 6 months.

Goodness me! Is that your car in the pics? What happened?

Looks great Don. Welcome to the 'KXR Fog Lights club' :P

Thats great news Garry, Im glad they looked after you.

Lol, no worries Don.

Did you get mounting screws with your fog lights?

I ended up getting self taping screws from Bunnings to mount them. (let me know if you need the exact size.)

Also, Id recommend put a thick rubber washer on the bottom screw mount to angle the fogs down a little.

Ive noticed with mine, that they point fairly high and outward to the side of the vehicle. When i have some free time, I plan to put a washer in to angle the fogs down on the road.

Sydney City Toyota today quoted me; "$795 + approx $50 freight via TNT" for tow bar assembly (08 Kluger)

Noble Toyota have quoted $609 + $50 freight - but Im not not sure yet if that is inc GST (probably not)

But the price is much better. I mentioned that ive ordered parts from them before and they've looked after me on price , and to my surprise I got a discount.

very unfortunate.

but look at this one

Wow, my bro-in-law has the first-gen Kluger, Ill have to tell him to pimp it.
