Re: National Luna Rant

Re: 1981 4WD Hilux RN Restoration
Hi everyone, more than a year later saving up and taking some steps back due to Covid-19, but In July we took the Hilux to the panel beater to remove the cab and load box and I got the chassis and this is what this looked like. Pictures attached

Re: Air Jack for Hilux
I would recommend the 3 Ton Air jack that 4x4 Mega World sells as it has got the exhaust and compressor input and it comes with a lifetime guarantee as it can be patched whilst still keeping its 3 Ton load integrity. I had mine for a couple of years and regret selling it with my Hilux. it comes as a...

Re: Front Runner roof rack bracket failure
can you add pictures of what the feet bolts onto on the vehicle side such as an aluminium canopy or track mount etc, because if the mounting surface where it mounts onto is flat, then I have got an affordable S/S bracket solution for you.

Re: SFA Suspension
Had Emu in my 1991 DC Hilux and I could drive faster over speed humps than some of the new 4x4s, and for a leaf spring suspension it was a wonderful ride, have Got Emu leaf springs on my 81 Hilux as well.

Re: 2018 Revo shape GD6 front recovery points
Hi Phillip,
you can opt for the imported rated recovery points that you can buy from IRONMAN as these recovery points are much stronger than any OE ones and also look cool to be honest.
Best Regards.

Re: Spot light recommendation
I have sold many of these 25W LED "Canon" Spots working for 4x4 companies, and this is what I am going to put on my Hilux when its finished. I had IPF Rally Spots, but the 130W Halogen does not compare with the current LED technology.

Re: viscuos fan and coupling
Hi Ivan, you can contact a company such as N1 4x4 as they keep good quality replacement (pirate) viscous couplings, but unfortunately the cowlings would in most cases have to be a genuine Toyota part.

It was used for very hard labor for 16 years, and has been stationary for 4 years due to engine problems. This is th...
