As part of getting the Hilux ready to tour New Zealand, the factory tires and wheels had to go! I fitted up a mint set of Alpha Brawler wheels and some fresh Kenda Klever RT tyres and it's change the whole look of the car! It's fixed the narrow look of the front end and performs awesomely.

Kicking off my 2026 Hilux build with an awesome aluminium canopy from the legends at M2 Overland. Kiwi made, awesome quality and built for offroad use, it was a no brainer.

It's upgrade time! Last week I picked up a 2026 Toyota Hilux SR5 to replace my beloved Fortuner. Going back to a ute wasn't quite in my plan but here we are and I'm stoked!
