he is asking for a good suspension uprage, SASing it is the BEST upgrade he can do. he asked the question and people are giving him his answer, although u can upgrade it differently and u dont need to SAS it, if he did SAS it he would love it ;) and my hilux on 33's unlocked can keep up with rigs with 37's and traction control, lockers etc :lol:

You must be only driving on fire trails then by saying this, either that or your mate hasnt got a clue. If you want to do some serious offroading, ie more difficult than a fire trail, youll have to get rid of the IFS plain and simple. Every IFS vehicle ive seen offroad struggles on the the harder stuff, its not impossible but be prepared to go through CV's like you do undies. The same vehicle with a solid axle up front will go further, easier and with less breakages.

KP4x4 came on here, a hardcore offroading forum, asking for a suspension upgrade for his new lux, this is the response he will get time and time again. If he/she isnt interested in doing hardcore stuff then he should ask for advice on Overlander or 4wd Monthly forums.

hardcore offroading forum or not, does that mean that we are better than the people who dont wanna be HARDCORE?

are you HARDCORE?

Also i never broke a CV? funny that cause i drove the veichle for what it was capable of doing, including alot of drives with members form this and other HARDCORE boards..

Not everyone needs a monstor truck, neither can everyone afford all these mods or have the experiance to do them themselves!

you know alot of people in there daily drivers a IFS truck with a small lift and wheels can be hardcore enough...

AZA do you have a drivers license yet?

by the way KP4x4

unless your planning on being a fully HARDCORE dood, like these other blokes, then the ARB 2" lift or anything similar would get you most places you would wanna take it.
