Gday Everyone.
My name is Jesse and I just bought my First cruiser last week. Unfortunatley its been a nightmare and a very stressful first week.
anyway the back story. It's a 2001 GXV 1HDFTE with 365k km on the clock. I bought it needing tyres....so as any excited new cruiser owner did, i booked in for a wheel and tire package the next day. Pics are attached...haven't got decent pics yet.
anyway car has 2inch lift kit with airbags in the rear, gas injection, ARB bull bar, Snorkel, winch. and a new set of CSA-x 17inch wheels and 285/70 Falken AT's
After getting the tyres, I drove to the shops and the dredded Check engine light and limp mode happened.....$1200 later $600 for tows and $680 to replace a wire with no improvements, my cruiser is now at a a different shop.... P1220 is annoying.
Now back to the Good...Once shes running again, pending how much money I have left, which at this rate wont be much as I still got to pay insurance and rego, I planned on putting in a ARB base Rack on, some Draws, upgrade the Headunit and speakers and fix the mess of Wiring which was done when the Two cranking batteries were swapped for a crank and aux set up. Oh and now the aux battery is swollen and needs replacing too.
After all thats done, i plan on taking out camping a cruising the outback ( if the missus will ever trust it)
Cheers to better luck. or I may never get another 4WD ever (according to the minister for war and finance)
