Off topic , New DD
Just got my new DD, a truck.
Belgium is run by (extreme) left at the moment and they are squeezing small businesses wherever they can. This year they increased taxes on company cars to stupid levels.
So we sold our 2 high taxed cars last year and bought a new much lower taxed car and now this truck which, being a utlitlity vehicle, is not taxed at all.
Btw, changed my user name today.

So thats the one being built in spain...
Gun rack on the rear wind shield and all?
And of course your truck had to had custom wheels right???
Diesel? Thoughts of customizing? I see a light tint on the windows. That rear bumper needs to be black... Slippery slope everywhere!!
Enjoy Denis, in good health.

Yes, diesel V6 with 550nm of torque between 1700 and 2500rpm.
Of course, custom 20" wheels. It's impossible not to change wheels. I am messed up in that department
More customizing you ask ? Why yes indeed. Have a tonneau with roll bars on order and am going to get a little more chrome items.

what size tires are you wearing on the new wheels?
May have an offer for a set of winter tires for you if shipping makes sense. used them on the Diesel grand cherokee I had, with 20 in wheels. Three have 3-4000 kms on them, one is never used.
I have no idea of shipping (truck should be best way) but I was planning on asking 600 euro for them. The new one cost me 360 just a few months ago.
Just a thought. May make little sense when you factor shipping.

Thanks for the offer Nick, tire size is 265/50R20
However, they are M&S tires, combined with the 4X4 drive I should be ok in modest Belgian winters.
Moreover, the tire shop (a friend) is selling the 18" originals and as soon the're gone he is putting winter tires on them.
My second, third and fourth mod are completed. Yesterday afternoon I received a big package including bed liner, roll bars and tonneau.
Started working immediately and after some hours finished a happy man.
