Hilux 4x4 Forum

No a 35" stays a 35". Since it is sitting on a 17" rim it just has a shallower sidewall. 35" is the outside diameter. 12.5" is the width of course. Yes and No. I understand what your saying but the sidewall stated size and the website tech data stated by manufacturers many ...

I work for Monster Rides and run their height adjustable coilovers. The kit comprises not just height adjustable coilovers, but also diff relocation brackets, upper control arms and a bunch of inner guard mods.

I hope somebody can help me here. Im looking to upgrade the brake master cylinder on my hilux. Currently my 2007 Hilux/Vigo has the standard brake master cylinder which is 13/16 size or (0.75") I beleive the Fortuner has a 1" bore size in their master cylinder because they need the extra f...

Thought I'd share with you all what Ive been upto lately..... I've trial fitted my neighbours 35/12.5x17 Mud tyres off His GU Patrol on my hilux. My hilux is sitting at 3" without a bodylift. I removed the front fibreglass flares, trimmed atleast 30mm all the way around to increase the fender o...

Great job on the installation. Couple questions if I may? 1) Did you fabricate your own engine mounts or purchase them somewhere? If purchased where from? 2) Did you mate the engine to the standard hilux transmission or the auto that came with the engine? Any issues with bellhousing/transmission ada...

You guys are missing the main point in the danger of fitting these spacers.

Im interested in how you can clear 35x12.5" wide tyres on a 10" wide wheel on the bodymount with just a 2" suspension and 2" body and still expect any form of decent suspension travel?

That's very cool. Almost the same as snake racing in Aus. Nothing like Snake Racing at all..... That is my hilux and I have that kit fitted. Its a work in progress and always continuously evolving to become better. The ride is awesome as is the travel- http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h68/mmaaxx19...

Hi Guys, that Hilux above is mine......I havent been on this forum for a very long time and someone on a local Australian Forum told me about this thread.

Hey max Can you tell us what difference you exhaust replacement made. Did you put it on a dyno to see what the power and torque improvements were? I'm considering doing this as well as a chip before i go for 33" tyres. I didnt put it on the dyno but I felt a slight increase in torque......one ...

Another Trip Report Well, Im not modifying much on the hilux lately but thought I'd post some trip details here instead.
