Agree that the rock bars look good but the chromed bull bar is crap. Much prefer Toyota's OEM item - more subtle. Mileage is ripe for gear box ECU failure seeing that it's an early 4.2 sadly.... "Bull bar is crap"...as are the twin tailpipes 😳 Toyota sold the genuine rock bars and rear bar in satin black...not much chance of finding any of them now 😕 |

The ones on my Granite were chrome. |

That do look nice and looked after and nice rock bars/ side bars, but looking at the MOT history it says a couple of times "Auto gearbox cooler pipe leaking fluid"
What is that?

The auto gearbox has a cooler inside the main engine radiator , the metal/rubber pipes come out at the bottom of the rad and go into the gearbox...my guess is the rubber pipes are splitting with age .....or metal pipes are rusting through 😳 |

Not if it just the rubbers pipe.....The blessing for our cars in Toyota keeps parts in stock longer than some of the other manufacturers 👍🏻👍🏻

That's a nice colour combo. MoT history pretty good with only a couple of fails in the past that smack of laziness on the part of the owner. |

Yes nice looking vehicle and the leather seats look smart ....although I feel they will never last as long as the grey cloth...that seems indestructible 👍🏻

It looks good in that colour and leather. Certainly does look good David and the red does look more Red than what you normally see with that colour combo, unless it's the way the piccys have been edited? |

Could be wrong, Bob but it looks to me like Dacuma Grey which was always matched with silver bumpers and door protectors. Good combination also IMHO. |
