  • Roughtrax ...Hmmm!!

    I live 2 miles from Roughtrax and paid them a visit today to get a complete set of belts. All in, including a genuine cam belt £61? Not bad.

    The guy who runs it is the nicest bloke on earth and totally genuine. He took me around his warehouse/showroom and what an Aladdins Cave that is! He has every type of spotlight under the sun, including the nifty ones with multi coloured neon rims, Momo steering wheels, bullbars, load liners (and he is having some made that cover the wheel arches and backs of the rear seats complete with storage pockets. This means that when the seats are down the whole cargo bay is protected).

    He happily opened a box of walnut trim for me to have a look at, and has the only set of new Surf headlights in the country with a 30% higher output. These are the dogs with reflector beams. He reckoned that a complete set of headlights and front sidelights would be around £130? Anything that improves on the lousy Surf lighting has to be worth it.

    He also has loads of Lexus style rear lights, stainless steel rear light guards, and various plastic front headlamp protectors, as well as tyres and alloys. The rear spoilers are the ones with the brake light in. I was well impressed and I could have happily stayed there chatting, but had to get away to get the belts fitted!

    If anyone deserves business it's people like this.

    Cheers

    That's good to know...

    I'm not too far from Roughtrax, and was planning to go and visit soon. Might just have to make it a bit sooner!!!

    Any idea when the new boot liners might be ready??
    It just does, OK?

      Cargo Liners

      He told me that he had one made specially to see what they were like, and has just ordered a production run. He has also bought a Surf so that he can take measurements etc for any other goodies that he wants made up.

      I could have happily spent hundreds of pounds in there, it's really great to see somewhere that actually has everything that you could ever want for a Surf under one roof.

      It's my birthday soon, so I asked my girlfriend to hop out of the Surf and wander around with me. Tactful or what?

        Do you know if this chap does mail order. Being in West Yorkshire, its just a little too far for me to travel. But I would have things delivered.

        You got any contact details?

          I'd agree.

          I've used RoughTrax numerous times for mail order parts.

          You can order over the web or phone your order in. The guy is really helpful and knows his stuff.

          Prices are really competitive and I usually get my parts next day.

          I'd highly recommend them.

          p.s. No one has a spare AirCon pulley assembly kicking around for a 3.0 SSRX 1993?? Looking at buying this from Toyota and it's going to be well expensive! I'd be happy to pay - obviously! (Sadly RoughTrax didn't have this one - dealer only!)

              Ha ha ha !!!!

              I mentioned the new headlights that Roughtrax had, the only set in the country???

              http://www.toyotahilux.com/

              I also mentioned that I invited my girlfriend in to have a look round the showroom?

              I got home from work today to find that she had gone back to Roughtrax and pleaded with the guy to sell her the headlights and sidelights. He really didn't want to part with them, but she is very persistent....so I got em in my lounge right now. Ha ha!!

              He only parted with them on condition that I take the Surf back when they are fitted so that he can take some pics for advertising.

              So there we go, I got me a full set of totally unique headlights/sidelights and none of you lot can have any until new supplies arrive from Japan! I feel dead chuffed now. I might fit them Saturday, and I will post pics on here so that you can all see what they look like.

              Hum de hum. Gloat gloat gloat.
