Heres an updated pic of my hilux fella's. Its got the flares fitted and wheel/tyre combo on it. Next is to decide on what bullbar, and fit under body protection plates -

Likewise, We wish we could get some Taco's here :)

the rear is a solid live axle. and they are made in thailand. They reckon the chassis are stronger than ever, thou the panels are light and very flexy.

thanks mate. i appreciate it

The under body protection is not on my vehicle yet. Thats just a pick of it on another vehicle and yes, that vehicle has a larger fuel tank on it. I havent heard of any suspension problems yet with the front en, thou most suspension lifts on the new hilux's are kept at just 2" or under that...

I have also ordered in a Front Underbody Guard pictured below which voers below the engine and transmission- and some sort of bullbar on the front to give more clearance for the tyres and frontal protection. Below is a pic of me mates Hilux. Hes running the same setup as me thou is 5" high...

G'day all, Been a while since Ive been back on here but in that time I sold off my previous 3.4 V6 5 speed manual Hilux pictured below and bought a brand new shape one. Previously- And what my current one looked like at the dealer before picking her up- After a week or so, Ive had fitted a...

Nah, im enquiring about the new hilux. the '07 model. which has the front strut suspension. the same as your current shape tacomas. heres one below with a 3" lift and 285's on it.

Thanks for the responses guys. it is appreciated. Just a quick question for you all - do any of you have driveshaft issues with the CV angles using a 3" lift? Also, how much worse is braking performance with the 255's over stock? We here in Australia have really tight ******** road regulations...

G'day all, am about to purchase a Toyota Hilux (similar to the tacoma) and have decided to go a 3" lift. My query is that I am yet to decide whether to put 255/85x16's on the 16x8 rims or go 285/75x16 on the same rims. Im leaning more towards the 255's as in practicality. With the 285's I know...

unibody, correct. I had a look today at the suspension and it is coil struts all the way around. so I guess you could lift the car with longer coils but the strut design itself would limit any tyre increase bigger than half to three quarters of an inch diameter because of the strut where the...

G'day all, Im thinking of purchasing a new shape Toyota Highlander (Kluger here in australia) and have been checking them out as they just arrived at my workplace today and Im impressed with them to say the least. I was wondering if anybody there in the US of A makes suspension lifts for the...

Yeah, mate, I was thinking bout selling it ages ago, but Im glad I didnt end up doing that.

Nice hilux Dave, good to see another aussie on here. Ive seen ya truck before on newhilux.net see ya round

G'day Fella's, Thought I'd report on my trip last weekend. Went to Lake Eildon here in Vic, not much of a lake anymore but some awesome 4x4'ing where the lake used to be. Had bout 7 fourbies go, and at one stage had 5 of them stuck on the lake bottom, where the dry and cracked lake bed caught...

Yeah, Im from OZ, Melbourne, Victoria to be precise. Damn dry down here, but they're expecting storms during the week, hopefully we get some rain with it, and if so, could be a very muddy and extremely fun weekend. I havent taken out the hilux on the new tyres yet, so I canr wait to test them...

G'day there, Thanks for the comments guys, I didnt expect so many ! Yeah my hilux has rear LSD as factory and factory manual front hubs. Works a treat. somebody mentioned something that they were surprised about factory Toyota Bullbars....well almost every truck sold here gets them put on...

Thanks for the replies guys. I didnt expect such a response, will post more pics as they come along including trips and scenery of places Ive been and places I will go to. Yeah, the IFS torsion bar setup is the same as your pre-Taco trucks. It just sucks that they make it difficult to go...

As far as I know the new Cruiser known as the 200 series wagon will have independant suspension all around, developed by some company here in Australia. It wont be the offroad king anymore, that will be upto the 70 series variants. The 200 series will be a on road family cruiser and large...

G'day all, Yeah the new cruisers are pretty good. I work at Toyota here in Melbourne, Australia and we were the first to get them here. The engines themselves have alot of potential and are extremely underpowered in their current form. The 200series wagon coming out next year has a twin turbo...
