GOOSENZ

there are tons of those hilux surfs here in nz just look on this website, it is www.trademe.co.nz

GOOSENZ

well i haven't figured that out yet. but i have a idea on how to get in it as it will have side step plates on it so it will mean that you will have to climb onto the rear tyres and then on to the step plates to get into it

GOOSENZ

the new U bolts and as seen in one of the pictures you will see the standard U bolts next to the new U bolts

GOOSENZ

well here are more up dated pictures of the truck with all 4 wheels on

GOOSENZ

here is a picture of the truck again

GOOSENZ

i just have a good job thats all. and i have been saving up for this project for a long time. i have a new picture of the truck and im just trying to get in onto the site for you all to see

GOOSENZ

i through those super swampers away and bought a whole new set of maxxis creepy crawlers they are 37x 14.5x 15 and are fitted to a set of 15 X10 inch rim that all up came to $3000

GOOSENZ

those hilux surfs are extremely cheap over here to buy as i saw one of them sell for $800 nz dollars

GOOSENZ

sorry for the late reply. well im using the 1989 lexus V8 ecu that was made for the motor which you can use a auto or a manual box when using this ecu

GOOSENZ

to you all that have been wondering why there having been any pictures of my truck on this post it is because it is on another post on this site so look for (The Rebuilding and modification of a hilux (Lexus V8) ) and there you will see all my pictures of my truck being built by myself here in new z...

GOOSENZ

i sure will as it will be one fun 4x4 once it is complete

GOOSENZ

GOOSENZ

well here are some pictures of the hilux after i cleaned up around it. well im not a short person so to help you all see how high it is i am 6 foot high. so here are there pictures of it with me next to it

GOOSENZ

well here is more up dates on the hilux that im rebuilding, the new lift springs are now in place and now i can't get the ute out of the garage cause of its height. but i will get the pictures up on the site as soon as i can for you all to see and i need some advise on what colour to paint the diffs...

GOOSENZ

well that what you have to pay if you want a exspensive project like mine. i had a look at my springs and found out that they are near to a 15inch lift kit which is good as they were custom made in japan. more pictures to come.

GOOSENZ

wow they not that exspencive over here as a sit of 35X10.50X15 Deestone King Cobras are $1300 nz

GOOSENZ

well remember that is for a 38x12.5 16.5 inch tyre from the usa and i don't know what the rand is at at the moment

GOOSENZ

ive just had to buy another 38inch super swamper and it cost me $622 nz to get it in for the usa as that is where they are made. if you looking for a set i can have a look around for you and then all you got to do is pay for them and then ship them over

GOOSENZ

is one of the most common tyre here as its the most used tyre in the extreme 4x4s

GOOSENZ

here is another picture of the set of springs

GOOSENZ

well who asked for more pictures? well here are more picture but of my leaf spring extreme lift kit. you will see but the pictures that the spring have a huge bow in them to give the truck a huge lift. if any of you have looked at my other write up on this site with the big baby blue hilux 4x4 you w...

GOOSENZ
