Sien uit om van jou te hoor, ons sal dalk 2 voertuie wees, net 'n day trip, ons sal nie oorslaap nie. Jammer dat ek jou thread ge hijack het!

Great looking truck, which rock sliders did you fit? Keen to fit similar wheels and bfg's too, but cost of suspension upgrade is going to be the killer for me.

Hi Hennie

Im new here, drive a Hilux 2007 3.0D4D D/C 4X4 and am very keen for a suspension upgrade with some lift, but dont want to kill my pocket. Your story here of your upgrade is quite detailed
but I am looking for someone to do my upgrade as I dont have the tools to do it. Could you recommend someone who can advise me and do the upgrade I chose?

Thanks

Cheapest way you can go is spacers in the front and shackles at the back... Depends on what your budget is. Any fitment centre can fit those for under 1K

And the parts also around that price

Thanks for the comments. Bevan, as Tal mentioned it all depends on your budget. Almost everything I did on the Hilux was done by Innibos 4X4 Fitment Centre in Sasolburg. The list of items done on the Hilux is now close to 40 items.

Fr those of you who have missed the post on the other thread - I fitted the 3" exhaust made by Dwayne at UTV Racing as well as the chip and pedal booster. Torque increased from 350Nm to 470Nm. If I have time tomorrow I will post the graphs.

Hier is die grafieke van die Dyno. Die verskill is as gevolg van die uitlaatsisteem en chip. Ons gaan die chip wat gedurende die Dyno gebruik is vervang met 'n Typhoon chip wat uit Duidsland uit kom - dit sal nog 'n groter verskil maak.

Hennie, dit is indrukwekkend om die minste te sê!
Ek dink baie ouens het al daarvan gedroom om 'n nuwe voertuig volledig toe te rus, maar dit is nie vir almal moontlik nie. Danlie dat ons dit saam met jou kon volg en baie geluk, dit lyk goed!
