Some of you on here may know me from Facebook, recently deleted it, sick of the Bs. So thought I'd throw a build up thread on here of my Hilux. It was an old work ute from the family business I purchased for cheap and moved all of my parts out of my old unreliable crawler into.
Basic specs are:
2004 2wd Hilux Workmate
2.7 3rz with 200,000kms.
Currently g52 manual but plan to go R151 in the future.
Dual 2.28 transfers with Trailgear adaptor and Twin sticks.
Fj80 front diff, lock rite Auto locker, custom double shear steering setup, Braced housing, Psc 8" single ended ram.
2010 Hilux rear Diff with full spool. 4.88 gearsets.
Box front shaft, Pto tube rear shaft.
2wd rears up front Spring pack, 2010 Hilux rears, rear springs Inboarded 3" each side.
Tm Fabrications plate shock towers in the front, F250 towers drenched into the chassis in the rear.
Chassis had had 240mm taken out of the centre to shorten the wheelbase. Current wheelbase is 104".
Full hydraulic steering using 8" Psc ram, Psc resovoir, inline finned cooler, High flowed V6 commodore pump, Eaton orbital.
Front and rear winches and suck down winch in the rear. Most likely other stuff I've forgotten.
Basically built it to be a fairly capable but basic setup, reliability being the key. It runs the stock fuel setup, moved around to work with the shortened chassis, all accessories wired to a separate dual battery to keep the original wiring intact.
Engine is left Stock apart from the commodore steering pump.
37x12.5r17 Blue label Krawlers on 17x9-30 Dynamic steel wheels with DesignFab beadlocks.
All stock interior, still running the 3/4 bench seat and has working Air con.
Future plans are to Exo cage it and run a seamless internal cage.
