Welcome Vali,

I didn't even know they sold TBs in Greece. Any good off-road spots there?

Hello and Welcome Vali.

We have several members from outside the US and Canada and now you! :excited:

What are your plans for the 03 TB? Are you planning on going on offroad excursions or wheeling it to its limits and learning what fails first? Either way it's been done here and you should learn from it. :cheers:

Got those pics yet? :poke:

First of all i'm from Transilvania (Romania) and i moved to Greece an year and a half ago , i'm a tattoo artist , i opened with my girlfriend a tattoo studio here (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Skindigge ... 3112062738).I bought the TB in 2005 from US , import it in to Italy (my parents live in Italy), i mounted ICOM lpg system on it and i'm driving it every day since than ! Last week i decided to start going off road around here and i looked in internet how to do it , i found some lift kits but it very difficult to buy from US because i have to pay customs and boarding commissionaire witch are very expensive... In the end i lifted the car 2.5 inches in front and 2 inches in the back with spacers made by me ... I will post pictures next days .. I have 265/65/17 Good Year tires .

Don´t forget to put some springs on the struts.. :D

By the way - good to have one more TB here in Europe!


@Mark, why are you amazed that they had made it to him? I´ll hope the bodylift from Jeff (and of course you are the man :D ) will make it to my adress.. :poke:
