stretched hilux

Post by rocklux »

im thinking of moving my front diff foward a couple of inches and my rear diff back a couple of inches. this will hopefully give me better entry and exit angles and let me fit bigger tyres. if anyone can give my any info that would be helpfull. ( how easy, if its worth it, any problems) its on a 94 twin cab hilux. thanks
94 twin cab hilux, 3'' spring, 2'' body, 37'' sticky treps, front & rear air lockers, rockhopper gears.

You can just redrill your spring perches or another way is
IFS rears in the rear will move the back axle back
Standard rears up front will move the front axle forward.

If doing the rear I take it you dont have a styleside or it could make it difficult

For more detailed info on both of these mods check the hilux bible in the Toyota section..

Good tip about the spring swap.
If you want more tips, you might try contacting this guy:

Freyr Jonsson: freyr@arctictrucks.is

He is the Technical Manager of Arctic Trucks In Iceland. They know all there is to know about Toyota 4x4 modifications, and wheelbase lengthening is standard procedure when modding trucks for
Snow-wheeling and bigger tires. He´s been there, seen this, done that!

Ingthorsson.
if you don´t know its impossible, you just might do it!
