Hilux 4x4 Forum

I have a very old 80L Snowmaster and a 10 Year old National Luna 80L Twin door and its like an engine on a car that needs to run and not stand for long periods of time, both fridges run 24/7 as great bar fridges when quests come over and they have no problems from running constantly. Have a great 20...

I then Started on the chassis and rebuilding the diffs and changing the bellhousing and cleaning this dirty chassis.

some work in progress pictures below.

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

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...

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.

Hi John, have you sent the pictures to Front Runner for feedback?

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.

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.

Good Afternoon Frank, for the past decade I have been selling dual battery systems from the old solenoid systems to the new DC-DC Chargers and it cannot interfere with the window control switch or factory wiring, as when fitted correctly you will have an isolated positive and negative wiring between...

Hi Hennie,

ek sal vir jou uitvind en laat weet.

Groete

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.

This face plate and the vent control unit are the only pieces that I do not have for my 1981 Hilux Dash, will take a look thanks.

Thanks guys, luckally he has still got the full Old Man Emu suspension and that really makes a huge difference in ride quality, had that in my 91 Hilux as well. Just saving up a bit to to the spray work.

Good day Farmer Brown,

I am not a technician, but please have a look at the above link/video as they show you how to remove the diff without taking the wheels off.

Best Regards

Wow, very nicely done.

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.

Hi Minesh, what brand did you decide on? And was it priced right?

Good evening Minesh,

What model Hilux do you have? As I will be able to point you in the right direction.

Regards

Good morning, have you mananged to get some shocks for your YN yet?

Thank you all for such a kind reception. Kolle has done over 500 000km and will be taken back to white which was his original colour, and I shall post more pictures from now and 20 years ago at Rust De Winter when my dad drove him. I just need to trade in some glass bottles first to fund the next pa...

Good evening all, as this is my first time posting, I hope that I have done it correctly. This is now my 1981 Hilux 4x4 that we have brought back after my father sold it 20 years ago. It was used for very hard labor for 16 years, and has been stationary for 4 years due to engine problems. This is th...
