  • Matt's 97 RV

    G'day all, thought it was about time to start one off these, seeing as I have been bitten by the 4wd Bug and would love to keep track of how the car changes over the years. This is my first 4x4 and is a 1997 RV 3RZ-FE 5 speed petrol, so far it has a few things on it placed on by the previous owners:

    -2 inch suspension lift
    -Alloy bull bar
    -Snorkel
    -150L tank
    -Set up to run dual Batteries ( Just got to buy the second one ;D)

    I have a few modifications planned for it in the Near future such as:

    - 265/75R16 Federal Couragia M/T's on 16x8 Sunraysia's
    - Rear Drawer system
    - Roof Rack

    But for the time being I am having to do some repairs and maintenance on the car . So far the clutch has been replaced and I am currently replacing the steering rack. Next up on the list it to have the Hood resprayed. More Pictures will be up soon as I work on my car and replace stuff :-D.

    Cheers Matt

        So it has been way too long since I last posted anything so here is an update, I have done lots of work on the car and have more planned. I have changed the steering rack and clutch on the car and the hood has been resprayed. I have installed a cb radio, spotlights and stereo system, and best off all have new wheels and tyres.

        Here are the wheels off the car

            Yeah they are 265/75R16 bf Goorich All terrains, They are a really pleasant tire on the road, low road noise and my fuel economy doesnt seem too badly affected. As for the 150L tank it spends a majority of its time below half full it costs so much to fill up. But can last upto 3 weeks driving around the city.

              So Today has been eventful, due to heading up to robe camping for this weekend i though it would be a great idea to install an awning on the car, so after looking at a few different makes and models, I finally went for a TJM awning, so far it was really easy to install on the car, however it is only on there temporarily as I intend to buy new roof racks soon.

              Now all that needs to be done is wire in the led strip for it and it should be pretty awesome to relax under this weekend!

                So tonight in preparation for robe I set up an led strip under my awning, however im pretty dissapointed. Because there are 6 leds that don't work.

                I have also fitted an led strip along the roof along the tailgate to illuminate the boot and table that will be installed as of tomorrow
