Truck build up! new drawers nearly finished

i noticed that my front manual hubs are avm are these standard hubs or aftermarket. and what can i do for my truck to get better fuel economy and perhaps more power

Post by **NF 4G54** » Sun Nov 13, 2005 5:37 pm

All pajero's came out with auto locking hubs i believe, so yours will be aftermarket becuase the auto hubs were prone to wearing out and are expensive to fix.
If you want fuel economy dont get bigger tyres, dont get a suspension lift and dont get a body lift. You cant have everything, you need to decide what the car is used for most and what you want.
As for power no amount of money will justify the little power gain you could achieve but you could consider less restrictive induction and exhaust.

the tyres that i will be running will be for off road only so that i dont use more fuel every day. and i cant see how a 2in susp lift will increase fuel economy? does that mean if i lowered it like my old dunnydore then i will get better fuel economy

i think its more they are relatively cheap these days, and if your prepared to do the mods yourself - yes cheap to mod. I like the square old look and dont mind when putting a new dent in the side or having to bash the rear bar with my BF sledge hammer to open the rear door

if i had anything newer/dearer/nicer i probably would be a biatch out driving !

I'll think you'll find Paj drivers are quite a friendly and sociable lot, and would be more than happy to have a Toyota along.

As long as you can keep up.

Yeah for sure, some along. I'll have a couple of yota's with me too probably.

Bloody surfs.

I picked up the springs for $30 each from the wreckers they are genuine paj springs (no probs with insurance) and are progressive to boot. They give a great ride, I also picked up some arb shocks (front and rear) from a Gen1 at the same time from the same wrecker, must be lucky some times....

Heyhey, whaddya mean "american 4x4wire"? Heheh.. a Canadian wrote most of that drivel...

Glad they worked for ya! The ride improvement over the stockers was as big of an improvement as the lift...
