Hilux 4x4 Forum

Will post pics after the full completed job

and some front and rear flex pics

Sjoe, daai ding gaan lekker wees!!!

Is dit by jou huis geneem?

Dit lyk bevange.
Watse coils en shocks het jy bebruik.

The 4 link setup is by far the best and is used on most serious competition vehicles, the only problem is you have a V8 that can't go over 100km/h unless you have a 4 lane highway, but who cares if it kicks butt off road!
One tip; the shocks doesn't have to be staggered front to back anymore as the 4 link eliminates axle wrap, you should move the bottom shock bracket as close to the wheel as possible and the top one as close to the chassis rail as you can. both should be behind the rear axle at a slight inward angle to the top, this will improve handling. We made two top mounting points, the more you move them in on top, the better the articulation, but handling gets worse, so you just move them when you go off road.

Very interesting

Hi Hoppy .

Daardie 4 link is soos n droom .

Baie dankie vir die tip . Ek gaan hul verseker nog skuif . Was bietjie hastig gewees om hom te ry .

Gaan miskien coils afgooi en coil overs doen . Het 16 " air shocks maar wil noggie gewig afgooi nie . Maar time will tell .

Great and neat job

david , abs looking good , heck of a nice idea.

Thanks Mark

Fixed the shocks inboard with a few adjustable mounts for road and offroad .

Lowered the front panhard rod . And steering are sorted .

Little body roll . Smooth no more kidney belt .

.

Neat conversion and good workmanship.Interesting to know how it handles on the highway .

Wow David, ten out ten for your workmanship. Job well done. Will be interesting to know what she does at 120 kph.

I think its time I just build myself a purpose built 4x4. and get it over and done with! Nice work.

How about pics of the truck from the side - I would like to see how high that lift is?

Netjiese werk, sal graag wil sien hoe die wheeltravel is.

Het jy die cvs reinforce?
