yeah i have a new model hilux one on my ln106

why not just do a 2 inch suspension and 2 inch body? and maybe some 33's and u will have a pretty capable rig

the bushes look new that are in at the moment. the shackles compared to my new ones have about 10mm difference from inside to inside

so tried to change my shackles today..took my extended's of the rear and put the new ones on to find out there about 10mm to wide..anyone else encountered this problem?

im changing my extended shackles on my ln106 back to standard..i was just wondering what's involved in doing so as ive never done this before..will i need to put the car on a hoist or is jacking it enough?

cheers in advance

i was thinking about hid's..on our transporter we hav 2 lights with hid kits that are insanely bright..my mate had 2 lightforce on his bullbar with hid kits and my other mate has standard lights and they are so much better then the hid kits on the lightforce.

hey im looking to put a dual battery system in my hilux..

hey i briefly spoke to my engineer about doing my hilux and hes happy to do so..just wondering if anyone knows what he actually checks for? ie.bolts tight,brakes strong,steering and so on..im just trying to make sure everything he will need to check is up to spec for him.
any help appreciated
cheers ...

i thought the shocks might be a problem beacuase there apparently rear shocks, how do i measure the shock? just from eye to eye or the from one eye to the seal? cheers

hey guys..i have a hilux with 3 inch suspension 2 inch body and 2 inch shackles on 33's..Im going to get it engineered in a few weeks and am taking the shackles out to do so..When fitting standard shcakles back in is there any problems i might run into or is it pretty straight forward?
cheers

thanks heaps for the info..and yeah the diff pinion seal is leaking where the tailshaft joints to it..will have to suss out the brakes and the front wheel bearings..thanks again

Hey mate with the tyre's you might need to set up the steering stops a bit better just wind em out till the tyre just clears theyre bolts on the front and back of your hubs.

and your brake issues sound like the rear shoes aren't adjusted up before you touch your handbreak check the shoes.

Thanks ...

the hilux ive bought has a few problems that need fixing up and was hoping you guys could steer me in the right direction..
It has 33 x 12.5 maxxis bighorns on it that clear fine but when i turn full lock right the inside of the tyre rubs on the leafs??

The front diff leaks out of the rear main ...

hey guys i just got a lifted hilux, the guy i got it from has put a one piece tailshaft in it to avoid the centre bearing problem..i heard i might need to get that engineered? i know that it will have to be engineered for the lift but didnt no about the tailshaft
any help appreciated guys
thanks

i wanted to go big for clearance as alot of the flood waters i hav to cross etc. cum up pretty high. the hilux i drove with the 8 inch was all about wank factor as he replaced the live front axle with an independent to stiffen it up on road. if i was to go 2'' body and 2''spring how much mould i be ...

yeah mmaaxx i get what your saying. what would you recomend for a lift been capable as well as legal. around 4? 2 spring 2 body?

i want something that looks tough as well as capable off road. im not one of those f%^&wits that drive around town that hav never taken there 4X4 off road. i was told by manell motors down near newcastle that lift would be fine just not the tyres. they have an engineer that does there work and he ...

for the cops always been after me about it i shoudl be fine.i spoke to one of my mates who does 4x4 mods and he had a patrol on 37's with 9 inch lift and he only got pulled over once and tht was a rbt. i have a mate in highway patrol and he said as long as the headlights are under 1200 from the ...

just figured go big or go home right?
i test drove a hilux with 8 inch sittin on 35's and it was awesome. my mate has a hilux with a 2 inch lift on 31's and it doesnt real stand out at all. he is also in the process of goin to a 6 inch. pic:

thanks for that mate, as for the centre bearings i thought chewing through them may come into play as my mate lifted his hilux and put spacers in to drop the tailshaft to give it a straight line which seems to work good..im hoping to fit 35's and yeah it will be my road car as well as my weekend ...

hey im looking to buy a standard hilux dualcab 4x4 93 model 2.8 diesel.
I would like to lift it roughly 6 inches and was jst wondering what this would involve and roughly how much it would set me back? thanks in advance
