top stuff daniel... cant wait to see it with 4 inch lift on her!! gotta love luxes! they are called hilux for a reason... dont know why some idiots lower them :)

looks like the oldies were bf goodies all terain t/a's awesome tires aswell... not gonna get as many kms outta ur mickys compared to the goodriches

i take it u like to head off on the beaten track??

used to go camping up the flinders all the time with family i can appreciate a good forbie(4wd)

td or petrol?

:D

its petrol so got plenty of power thinkin of puttin the trd supercharging kit on it

nar leaving paint standard this time i like the white dosnt show up much an easy to look after

an i had plains for ages to put rims an tyres on it just not the cheapest car to mod as tyres alone are $310 an hav to buy 6 of them + new wheels to suit then have to make braket in the bak to hold the spares as the standard mountin spot is to small to fit 33z

the scarly thing so far is the suspension cost as much as a basic bult rb so far bloody expensive stuff

an this is been bult for serious 4wdin not just for looks

nice,,,,, ill post a pick of my 1985 toyota hilux sr5 with 33 inchmongrel mudiggers, 2.5inch truck pipes custom tray and fresh respray.its not done yet but it looks alright. i was thinking of putting a supra motor or v8 in mine.arghhh power.

cheers... michael

here is a pic of my hilux ill post one of the truck pipes and other stuff on it. shes mean. and a pic of what it looked like about 3 months ago. so do you do much 4wdriving much mate???? i only done mine up cause i got bored. and got sick of jumping the table tops at the motorcross track with it. when it was old so i changed my shocks and used greasable shackles and stuff. p.s sorry to highjack your thread.

a bit of food for thought... i guy around the corner from my old place has a lime green lux... looked like a 2002 model crue cab.. jacked up off its face with mud terrains.. here is the golden part... he dropped a worked 1jz in it with a hefty high mount...... yummmm

nar go 4" suspension then i can go 35" in the future money not a prob i goin all out on the set up as im saving to do simpson next yr. gotta get sum 4wd hrs under my belt first.

i go out 4wdin so far about once every 2 weeks. only been on one trip from salt creek to beach port along the beach an sand dunes

great fun an alows u 2 just getta away from it all so easy just need a swap an bit of wood an off ya go for a weekend

any chance u can get sum piks of this hilux with the 1j in it

i would hav put the a lexus v8 in it first just coz of the touque it would b a much btr choice

Pfffft go a freaking 2JZ lads, cheap as half cuts theses days, and ahhhhhh done!! Plenty of Nm there!! Only advantage of the Toyota V8 would be the smoother power curve, ie NO boost!! depends on your application really!!

My mate has a NEW TRD Hilux on order at GC Toyota, top of the range dual cab leather and all!! Is going to be a nice as tow car, much better than the BA XR8 ute!!

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
