Hi guys.....I sold my 2.7 Hilux 4x4 a while ago and Bought a Fortuner 4x4....I still miss the Hilux though :( ....I've always wanted an older Hilux for home and garden use and toy I could use for 4x4 playing around. I need some advice on this Hilux I saw for sale: single cab 1996 2.8d 4x4; 200000km;...

Thanks for the help guys - now I have an idea as to what I should do.

Hi all, I need some help regarding the following for my 04 Hilux 2.7i double-cab: Recovery points 1) There is one hook at the front that came with the vehicle - will check but I think it's on the nudge bar. Is this strong enough or should it be replaced. If so, what type and where must it go. 2) The...

Thanks guys, FD, it is a Hilux Double Cab - thought the pic was brilliant and could only get small pic- searched the net quite a few times for a larger one but couldn't - was an overseas ad I think - :P ToyX4, will get an auto electrician to do it - scared I may cause some serious damage. Benhur, yo...

Thanks ToyX4, just fitted some spots and gabriel safari shocks recently - want to put in a dual battery, later a winch - also want to buy a jet ski soon so will have to wait on the mods.

Hi All,
Pics of my 2004 2.7i DC 4x4 - Cooper STT's and the rest is std - she's still a baby with only 48000km.

Hi All, the guys at Hi-Q informed that my shocks are going. Any idea which ones I should replace them with?
2004 2.7i DC Hilux (20% off-road 80% onroad).

I can remove the plastic ends - will the tryres touch the metal part of the running boards when I'm off road?

Thanks guys - it's touching the black plastic mounts on my side-step bars and not the body itself - It is the std suspension.

Just fitted new Cooper STT's (31x10.5x15) and the right-front wheel touches the plastic side-step cover when I turn right - what can I do to stop this - if I take the cover out, will the tyre hit the metal side-step off road? check out the pics of the right front and left rear as this appears to be ...

Thanks guys :D - will definately try the chalk test - there is a slight whine but it's not that bad - can't wait to get them dirty.

thanks - size is 31x10.5x15

Hi All,
Just fitted my new Cooper STT's - looks great on the lux - thanks for all the advice. Please help on the pressure I should be using on road, sand, and off-road. Thanks.

saw a post on the 4x4 community forum

Thanks Piet - spoke to another guy as Peter had left - he advised that since I do about 20% offroad< I should go for the ST - he claims that it's a quieter tyre as well as better on wet. Now I feel even more confused - please help!

What effect will the coopers have on the ride quality? I got a quote of R1 300 per tyre, STT - is this a good price?

Thanks guys for all the help - much appreciated. I am based in Durban.

Hi All, I'm new to the 4x4 world and just got my '04 Hilux 2.7i about 2,5 months ago. It currently has the standard 15" Goodyear Wrangler but they seem to be going and I want to replace them with Cooper Tyres because of all the good stuff I've heard about them. Should I go for the ST's or STT a...
