Hello from Spain

[Blizz]

Hi,

My name is David and I'm from Barcelona altought I live in Alicante.

I own a Toyota Land Cruiser HDJ80 4.2TD Auto that I'm slowly modding for overlanding. I name it "Copito" wich means "Snowflake".

This was it's first pic:

After some mods, including a Maggiolina Airlander RTT:

Custom drawer system

At the moments mods are more or less:

- OEM Snorkel with pre-cleaner
- ACL Big end bearings
- Boost control valve
- Additional gauges (Boost, water temp, ATF temp)
- GPS support bar
- 350mm steering wheel
- Husky Liners
- Bullet-like fire stinguishers
- Glass breaking hammer
- Clarion head unit with Bluetooth
- Interior LED lights
- King Spings HD coil springs FR&RR
- Tough Dog Ralph big bore shock absorvers
- Goodridge braided SS brake lines
- 285/75R16 BFGoodrich A/T's
- Custom front axle reinforcements
- Steering box area reinforcement
- Rear shock absorvers skid plates
- Maggiolina Airlander RTT
- Custom drawer system with Euro boxes
- 40l fridge/freezer
- CB Radio

That's more or less my Copito. In a near future I'll be doing skid plates, custom roof rack, injection pump rebuild+LDA, new injector nozzles, etc...

Cheers,

David

Welcome. Nice truck.

Hi David,

Welcome to the forum. Nice truck.

Neat trick using slider bolts attached to plastic boxes to stop them from sliding out. I also use plastic boxes in my storage system and it can be a challenge opening the rear door when on a steep gradient.

cheers

Very neat & simple solution on the boxes - truck looks great; looking forward to seeing further developments

We have a 'Rig of the Month' section - perhaps you'd like to do a build thread in that for us??

And welcome along too

Hi David,

Really nice rig...lots of changes but still looks original outside (ehm, snorkel! )

Looking forward to see more pictures and tales

Saludos
