It doesn't matter what mods you want they'll do it,if they'v never done it,they'll give it a damn good crack!

The lux doesn't shine like she use to,paint gone all chalky & sh!t & it won't buff out...too far gone.I was wondering if anyone does themselves or knows of someone who does good affordable re-sprays in Newcastle,Central Coast or Sydney area?

I would if I had any guards

YUK,BODY LIFT....NOOOOO,DON'T DO IT! But if you must,Bravo & Pulux are right you should pay particular attention to your hydraulic cluch line,your filler hose & you may have to trim your radiator shroud a touch but shouldn't have to bend your sticks.This is what I found when I was fitting 37's,but ...

If anyone was wondering im running the full Xflex kit from Snake Racing. I must say a thumbs up to the quality of this product, highly recomended. You`ll learn 1 I bet it doesn`t flex as well as he says it will. 2 the bolts that hold your high steer arms on will keep working loose and you will ...

and 15psi, you have the chance of rolling a bead off the rim if you're not careful I have been running 35's on 8" rims for the last 5yrs at 10psi front & 8psi rear & never run a tyre off the bead. (have cut & flipped rims though) I think if you were to run at say...front 30psi & rear below 10 it ...

a few of the minni truck boys have been creating "shorties" of late........ essentially bobtailing there utes perhapse some of there sites may be of some help if u get none here 'Shortie' mini-trucks aren't bobbed,they're actually shortened chassis,a section is chopped out of the chassis rails then ...

G'day all,I'm currently running 12.5" wide tyres on 8" rims but I wanna run a new tyre but is 13.5" wide.I've run my MTR's for years at 10psi front & 8psi rear without beadlocks nor any dramas,will I be pushing my luck or am I gunna have to run beadlocks with this wider tyre :?: Oh,my rims are ...

G'day gurus,about to start doing a SAS on a 94' 4runner.......I'm putting leaves in the front (brothers truck,hes on a budget...$$$.) & I'm wondering what I should do about the 'shackle mount'.......use crush tube through the chassis rail & use extended shackles or mount 'below' the chassis rails ...

Frankenyota- Though I'm thinking it may not be the clutch because it only does it on takeoff and shudders the same peed regardless of revs when slipping.. Just changed from 33's to 35's and got slightly worse. Gives me the shits but, feels like i'm gonna bounce off the road. Whan I started to do ...

If you leave it where it is, when you're on boost there's nowhere to vent the excess pressure.Follow the instructions. Scott I did notice when I held the hose with the end free to atmosphere & gave a pull on the throttle cable,winding up the turbo then backing off,it did release alot of pressure.I ...

Ok from the beginning,the 'blow-by/breather pipe' on an LN106 lux that goes from the rocker cover to the 'intake manifold'....I hope you all have a picture in your mind.........now that I've installed a turbo,(according to DTS's constructions) the pipe now goes from the rocker cover to the 'air ...

Has anyone put one in their Lux ? What did you use as a bracket ? Had any problems ? Any photo`s would be great. Yes,I got one,used an air-con bracket from a wrecker with a spare 5er(bare in mind my air-con is the window,not standard),no pics sorry.After spending $100 or so on air manifolds ...

A mate of mine had a Holden HQ ute,was a show car for many years until his battery exploded one day,took all the paint off the engine bay & stripped all the CHROME plating off the engine

I recently read all the legalities on lighting in the ADR guidlines 'bible' which i sourced from an associate of mine who is a higway patrolman,it states that 'HEADLIGHTS' are to be no more than 1.2m from the ground to the centre of the light & lights on the roof are to be no more than 1.8m from the ...

Yeah the tank will take the same as before & the angle of the tank is exactly the same.The only thing that is different is that the tank is mounted 'across' the vehicle instead of 'parallel' to the chassis rails.

G'day all,I've recently moved the fuel tank on my lux from the standard possie,to the centre of the vehicle,just infront of the x member above the diff.Since doing so I've noticed a considerable amount of fuel consumption/loss.....about 50km's worth,8-9Ltrs :?: ......anything that comes to mind ...

Thats awesome news,shame you had to fork out alot of top coin to alot of A___HOLE repairmen though.If it were me I would have had it taken for a midnight drive a long time ago ,but you persivered......YOU GO GIRL

Big rubber,lift,exo etc,etc....paid $400 12mths ago,done by the 'old digger' from VTOL Aircraft in Cardiff.But have since been informed from 'Officer Plod' that he is currently under RTA investigation for dodgy certs'.

Please explain Where would it run & where would the head go

Hi all,I'm in need of a snorkle on my lux,but my problem is I have an exo,so 'safari' or the like is out of the question.Also my main problem is I don't want to obscure too much of the driver vision of the passenger side.Custom one seems to be the way to go,but anyones ideas would be TOPS

It also says....'BEST WE'VE EVER SEEN'........oh hang on one minute & let me think before I retort.......yep,just a sec.......


.......BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA inhale.....BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA ......ooh,I need a lie down!

I got the same prob,one wheel is wearing prematurely,but ironically its on the wheel that is buckled to the sh!thouse.Will have to do swapsies with spare

Hey Steve,these will fit yours mate,I have them for sale,PM or e-mail me if you're interested.

I'm 24,have extensively modded 97 hilux,pay $1000 for full comprehensive through 'Just Car',they even cover me for any offroad accidents at no extra costs,as long as I am not in a competition or on private property where I have not got permission.Also choose my own repairer

if it has been rated to 4 tonne by Australian Standards it will do it... In fact they normally build these things to a factor of safety of about 6.... this means that it would actually load up to 24 tonnes before breaking. BWAHAHAHAHAHA :rofl: ..........24T,thats 2 of the Freightliner prime-movers ...

When I'm not wheeling I'm abseiling & rockclimbing.The ropes I use are VERY 'elastic',to make a gentle & soft fall if you were to slip & catch yourself.Also the rope is F@#KING EXPENSIVE,prob not what you wan't to be throwing into the back of your rig as if it were a snatch strap or just rope,these ...

What leaves do you run in the rear of this truck,& why is it that you stayed with leaves rather than go with coil-overs in all 4 corners?
