Hilux 4x4 Forum

X2 I separate, clean and grease mine each service. Once you know how it only take ten minutes. We have a massive problem were I live with stiff and squeaky leaf packs. Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk i did do a little mudding last week. do you know any video instructions or have any how to's t...

It's a matter of fact that most of the ride comfort is in the front suspension but the rear also plays a part. The front struts wont just stiffen up unless something has gone seriously wrong with the shocks, which is highly unlikely with the mileage you've given, as is the possibility of there bein...

Hi, What setup do you have on the Hilux? Ie is it standard? Any Aftermarket bumpers, extra permanent weight? What part numbers was used? i have the OME suspension with r34 rear leafs (the soft ones) with trd 17" rims and bf goodrich allterrain k02 265/70 everything else is original so no extra...

Didn't pump ya tyres up or anything did ya?! I fit OME for a living, take it to whoever fitted it and ask them to check it out. Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk I haven't. I'm running bfgoodrich all terrain ko2. One of seems a little deflated. I'll take a look at the tire pressure and give it s...

Hey guys I swapped out my original suspension on my 2015 2.7L 4x4 with the ARB Oldman Emu suspensions at 2500km and I've loved every second so far and it feels great and smooth. Right now I got 14000km on it (12k on the new suspension) and the last couple of days I've felt it's become stiffer than u...

Hey guys I'm thinking about getting a costum cnc cover made for my 2015 4x4. Something to make it more useful and organized for my everyday use as a regular car and better loading and organizing for off road use. I'm having a friend who does mainly bumpers and roof racks take care of it. I'm posting...

TWO things to watch:

- use the correct bolts !!

- have a good look if the rope/strap will clear the bumper ....

Im kinda worried about the strap or shackles getting out of the hook in tension.

that will be under lock & key. I doubt if Tehran has the same problems with crime we do... Its a pretty safe place but you cant just leave your bag with laptop in the truck bed and its best not to leave it in the car. So its good to have a non visible space some where to put your belongings whe...

ChrisF wrote:nice concept.

how do you open the tail gate when you have some camping goods on that roof rack ?

theres hydraulics that help the trunk thingy open like a kitchen cabinet. it also has a lock. works pretty much just like a normal trunk except its 4wd activities specialized.

To be honest, the front eyes are not actually rated recovery points, have a look at ARB front recovery points for the front. Would a beefy towbar not work for the back? You might want to see if anyone can fabricate rear recovery points if you don't want to use a towbar. what do you think about some...

Hello folks im thinking about getting some custom fabrication work done on the bed to be able to have a safe storage for my daily use and a more organized cargo for trips. i have found a fabricator where i live and these are some of the examples of the work hes done . i wanted to hear your expert op...

Hey guys i'm thinking about adding some recovery point to my vigo since there isn't any factory installed on the rear. i have the original factory rear bumper. i was thinking about a bracket with tow hitch or maybe just a recovery point for on the chassis to hook the shackles to. any tips or info wo...

Welcome Shayan! :thumbup: Yes, better all round suspension performance in every way you can imagine. It will be the single most important improvement you will have done to your vehicle, and for that I would spend the extra few bucks and get the OME stuff. :winkx: thanks for your reply but is the re...

hey guys im thinking about changing my suspension from stock to the ARB old man emu kit .and i have some questions -how is it over all ? -is the ride going to be smoother and better handling and less jumpy ? -how is it going to affect the off road capabilities ? -and can you explain what i should be...

Update Here's what i finnaly went with. 265/70R17 BF goodrich Ko2 a/t. With 17 inch trd fj cruiser rims. Changes. The rise has become slightly smoother over bumps. In highway at high speeds there is a little more wobble on the steering wheel than before. There is very little rub at the fenders which...

That is about 9% increase in tire size ..... You need to decide between "looks" and"performance" ..... at the moment you are sacrificing performance for looks. The amount of trade off is a personal choice. My personal experience on a previous vehicle - I went too big and lost to...

Welcome to the Hilux forum Shayan. And CONGRATS on your new baby !! for comparing tire sizes consider using these websites - http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Tire-Size-Calculator/255-70R15/285-70R17 The combination you are looking at is an 11,2% increase !! :shock2: :o: The tire guys recommend you do...

Firstly welcome to the Forum I would rather go with a higher tyre wall (75) which puts more tyre between the rim and the road, which is a great help for the potholes and other road hazards. This also gives you a noce floatation foot when driving on soft sand, as you can let your tyres down further....

ChrisF wrote:QUESTION - what is the rim size on the 2015 Hilux ??

it went from 15' to 16' about 6 years back, to accomodate larger brakes .....

The original rim is 15". It runs 255/70 tires. Theyre pretty ugly rims lol

Hello Im looking to change my stock 255/70/15r wheels to 285/70/17r trd rims with all terrain bf goodrich tires on 17inch TRD rims. Are they going to fit with out lifting the suspension on the stock suspension without rubbing? If so how is it going to affect the ride and off road capabilities? Also ...
