    Diesel Hilux question

    Yeah man that's exactly my plan. The engine is pretty damn solid as it is, I really just need to get the suspension on lock, work on the body and start building her out.

    That's great beta about the difference in warranty department, thank you. So if you're running 5100's on the sequoia and tundra, what are you running OME's on?

    Ok cool that's good to know you can take the 5100's down to stock/1in. How long have you had your bilsteins/ how often are you taking that Taco out there?

    Suspension upgrade question... Is OME worth the extra $$$ or should I go with Bilsteins?

    Hello Overlanders! I'm new to the game and new to the community, but I am stoked to be here. This is a picture of the 94 Hilux I just bought. It's an LN 107 with the 3L 2.8L diesel engine. Lots of work to do but great bones. Super fun project so far. My next order of business is to upgrade...

    Diesel Hilux question

    Update... I bought the truck! Here she is on our first adventure. Still needs some parts and work (specifically, suspension) before I can take her on any real adventures, but she's got great bones and I'm ************** pumped to project her out

    Show us your Toyota 4runner, tacoma or truck.

    Here's my 94 Hilux LN107. 3L 2.8L diesel with a turbo, right side drive, manual locking hubs, superficial rust! Just got her. Pretty stock so far, but that'll change soon enough!
