camp rd at landcruiser park

HEAPS more dun 2 it but nothing you's wanna know about lol

[Matt_85Lux]

The best Mod I have done so far is the ARB locker in the rear.

Camp Hill after the locker, made it so much easier(only had 31 Cooper STs on)





and the tray chop, took off about 14inches. Haven't really tested it yet.

[83-mud-lux]

thats a big tray chop but looks pretty good i hav taken about 300mm off mine but havnt got a photo of it yet will get 1 2morro hopefully. i wanna get power steering and then auto locker hopefully but dunno yet.let me no if there is a easier way 2 do this thx.

[ShAgGS]

it started out like this


then 2.8 turbo, ruff, custom rear springs, high steer, and countless other bits and peices.

[BENOLUX]

[xxxhilux]

not as insane as some of you guys but it dose the job for what i need

[karam]

brief description, i built this up then sold it a month ago, 3 link front 5 link rear, supercharged 1uzfe, 300rwhp, 1560kg's, all legal, was going to race but gonna build up my 1fzfe 80

[Matt_85Lux]

some I found on google

[BENOLUX]

haha all to high for my liking, luxs are better kept low and wide, the red gen 1 is the only reasonable one lol

[83-mud-lux]

yer x2 with benolux
im not a fan of high hiluxs there to high and narrow makes em lok weird and roll over WAY 2 easy.
i do like the other gen1 the black and silver one just get rid of the bullbar and the lift it would look sick!

[BENOLUX]

haha yeh it would be sick if you could drive it lol. its a remote controlled scale model lol. made by tamiya, 1: 10th the scale of a real lux comes with selectable low range gear box its pretty cool

[83-mud-lux]

hahaha.
thats a bull**** remote controlled 4b would be mad lol.
so its got like proper low range SICK!!
i should try and make mine look like that..

[BENOLUX]

yeh im pretty sure they do, they are an upgrade of the tamiya bruiser and mountaineer from back in the 80s. look em up. anyways they have 2wd high range and low range i think and you get get optional diff locks that you can manually fit. they are normally full water proof and yeh all the rest. they use leaf springs for suspension like the real thing and you can shift gears on the fly with the remote.
