Last night was great. Pitty there were only 2 stages, but I guess Dave wanted a early start this morning. Yes something different. I just had enough room for 2 SS. Today was great. Tomorrow will be a lot of fun. Cheers David haha, all good mate. Wish I could have been there for the whole weekend.

33's on 2" Lifted 04 Model IFS Hilux

G'day all,

Has anyone out there fitted 33's onto a new IFS Hilux with only a 2" spring lift?

Wondering if they will rub, scrape etc. Looking at some 33's on 15x8 rims to whack on as a weekend play set.

Any help would be great.

Thanks ;)

Turns out it was the fitting of the black line. I think I might need to order a new piece including the two brass bolts.

After reading the doc you sent me Daniel it looks like the middle blue line (blue line on the top) is the 'exhaust' line that goes into the chassis to vent off. So the line on the left is the line to the compressor and the black one is the line to the locker (which is the leaking one). Cant seem to ...

Also the little brass button on the right side can be pushed in and out.

The oil has been leaking while the locker has not been engaged also :?
