Ultimate Vigo Hilux's

Post by African Child »

Modifications

It has been modified for 38 inch tires and is currently running 38 inch Radial Monster Mudder. The front suspension was cut of and lowered by 5 cm and moved forward by 4cm (no bolt on lift kit with higher CV angle etc.) and then there was placed a spacer between the front springs for 4cm additional lift, so the total lift is 9cm. The rear suspension is a custom made 4link coil spring suspension, moved 6cm back and the lift is approx 10cm (rear coil springs, shocks and other parts in the rear suspension is from LandCruiser 80). Auxiliary fuel tank (total capacity 150L) and 2,5 inch exhaust pipes. It has 1:4,88 gears and ARB lockers front and rear, ARB compressors for the lockers and one other on board 12V 65A 175L/min compressor for tire inflation. Garmin navigational system and VHF radio

Hi guys, Came across this thread by accident so thought Id contribute some more recent pics for your enjoyment -

Image

On the way are:


-New sliders
-Beadlocked Wheels and 35" tyres from USA
-Fibreglass Fenders will be removed and fenders will be cut open more
-Larger front brake
and a few other smaller R & D projects along the way that will help 35's work on 3-3.5" lift properly.

Heres a quick Vid from my last trip showing how well the IFS front works.
