Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I have a 89 hilux LN106 duel cab jusst been resprayed & a 80 series whitch truck should I keep?
If I keep the Hilux I will do a coil conversion.
Heres some photo's of both trucks.
What shuld I do guys

My Hilux




My 80

They're both Toyotas so I vote get rid of both.

Seriously though, what do you want to use them for?

Which one's got 5 speeds

The Hi Lux would wanna be in good nick to replace the 80.

Anyhow P**s off if this is your biggest problem in life

Cheers Struth.

I will solve all your problems tow the hilux to orange this weekend and give it to me for spares. I'll need them and you'll be right the 80s are a bit stronger. There we go your problems and my problems solved everyone is happy

I'd be keeping the 80 series. They are a great old bus.

I had an 80 'burger with the lot", ditched it for
a single cab LN106, couldnt be happier. I think
I just hated the extra weight that you're constantly
draging around......................

I have 1 of each myself but if my hilux didn`t have as much done to it I`d sell it and keep the 80

Keep the 80, sell the lux, and spend that money on the 80. Imagine the money you would save on a coil conversion. If you really want, spend that on a ute conversion for the 80.
I'm in a similar dilema, but I got two 40's, a 60 and a 80. The 60 was bought for the power steering / springs / diffs and transfer case to donate to the 40. One of the 40's has been stripped and is for spares, the other is currently a work car.
Now the missus wants me to sell the 40 and the 60 and all the parts and use the 80 as a floggin toy, and wants to buy either a 40th Aniversary 80 or a 100 series as a tourer.
I can feel where your coming from, it sux to have to make decisions.

You could sell me ya 80 and keep ya pusslux...................

i have the same problem i have an '94 80 series GLX and an '85 hilux extra cab SR5 i drive the hilux more i prefer it. but don't want to get rid of the 80 because it has all the mod cons.
So i keeped both let the misses drive the 80 series.

Im keeping the 80 which means the lux has to go any offers

If you're keeping the 80 for off road, you'll regret it. They are
a bucket of crap compared to a Lux off road. Been there,
prooved it. But the 80 is a better all round, all terrainer.
It looks like someone is gonna get a good buy in the Lux.
Good luck with it................................

what are you after for the lux ?

I think that's a bit of a rash statement. How can you compare coils to leafs. I've got a 40 Shorty, a 60 and the 80, and I have been driving with a heap of different lux's, and nothing against them, but there's no way I would swap the 80 for a lux for offroad, for anything actually. The only thing the 80 loses on is too many panels.

I think you have made the right choice.

I'm with you. Mine's petrol but I don't think there is anyway a hilux diesel even with a turbo would have the same power to get me up a steep, long muddy slippery hill not to mention the difference in ride. Each to his own but I hate gutless cars not to mention bloody leaf springs. Sorry once you've had coils can't go back. In what way are they a bucket of crap? Mechanically? Not knocking you, just interested in what way cause I thought about a dual cab as a play toy that's for sale on here, but thought i would have the sh$ts with ride and lack of power. I reckon my 80 goes well off road. I had a big concern with reliability wit it before I sold the GQ, but to date has not let me down, except for pads and new rotors, but what else. I haven't even blown a diff yet, although I will now i woke it up.

Do what I am going to eventually do, make it into an overgrown hilux and dual cab it, once I've damaged it. If it bends in, cut it off.

80's are a great bus!!!!!!!!!!
