Looks badass, but you'll regret it the first time you try and wash any clay/proper mud off it . My mate did his in matt black, I'll diga couple of pics out, it looked mega! yeah i know a few off road guys with matt black, not the easiest to clean, but that's been simple rattle can stuff i'm using the plastikote acrylic based, seems to go on better and repels water better too, plus when its done, i'll be adding a decent helping of clear matt wax so the dirt should (in theory) pretty much fall straight off...

Its definitely gonna look badass. its got a fair amount of 'chrome' on it too which always contrasts nicely I think it looks better without the bull bars now though.

Not sure about the colour but otherwise cool. I suddenly discovered the Toyota surf one day when I walked past one for sale. Spent the following month looking but decided not to in the end.

Been wanting to tint the windows in the smurf for a while now, but don't really want limo tint a it will be shiny on the outside, so looking around on ebay the other day i had an idea so ordered a couple of metres of matt black vinyl arrived today and as i'm an impatient buggar, got onto it tonight when i got home ok, not really a tint, more a black out, just need to decide what to do with rear doors now what you think? i'm quite pleased with first attempt so from this to this this pic made mu chuckle as it really strecthed the side and looks really long just had one bit go wrinkly and i don't think its going to stick very well.. so added the biohazard decal for now to draw eyes away... comments welcome

Looking good! Glad you found HPOC as well - was about to recommend it before I noticed the sticker in your back window. Still miss my 96 Lux - sold as I finished doing the house up and couldn't justify it as a daily any more. Just about to take on a new house project - darn!

its gone up even higher... 16 x 10" rims too, running 305/70 tyres means each tyre is now 33" high.. so trucks now standing about 6'6" tall next up is to apply the zombie hunter decals

The 16x10's finish it IMO, much better than the previous wheels. Looks proper apocalyptic love it ;D

lovely looking hilux farmers choice back here along with the 2.8td isuzu living on a farm myself i can make a few small recommendations lose the side pipes and rather put on slider bars for rough terrain and if you have access to one lexus v8 motor makes a huge difference and don't forget the sticker on the back that reads OFFICIAL LAND DROVER RECOVERY VEHICLE
