Hilux Doors and Power Steering question

Post by ToranaJudd »

Heya Fella's.

I have a LN 65 1986 x-cab. I was thinking of doing a converion on the doors to utilize Surf doors eliminating the quater windows and having power windows! Has anyone done this? Is it a simple swap?

Also does a LN106 power steering box bolt to a LN65 chassis? If not what have people done to get there 65's steering easier?

Thanks, Judd.
Dont worry about the ability to handle and take corners, just the ability to lift the front wheels off the ground for a specified amount of time. :P

Yes the doors are a direct bolt up. not sure on the wiring though.

And the steering is also a direct bolt up. But you will need a Power steer pump and bracket from a Y series engine if thats what you are still running.

Thanks Tony.
I am running a Lexus V8, so ill plumb my power steering pump to the box.

Will be investigating at wreckers soon on prices.

Cant imagine a steering box being more than $400. Hopefully.
No idea about doors tho. Is there a LN65 Surf? What should i ask for, or are they the same for different year models?
