Re: Overhauling a complete Hilux PTA

Deon, Bly jy het by die huis gekom. Roep as jy hulp nodig het. Ek sal raad gee, onthou net as jy brandstof ingooi dat die bakkie petrol gebruik en nie diesel. Ek ry nie weer agter 'n rookskerm nie. Joke net. Kry iemand wat weet wat hy doen, en doen dit saam met die persoon. Dit sal maak dat jy jou b...

Re: Front wheels touching

One option is just to add another blade per leafspring pack in the front. If you do not have aftermarket suspension like OME, Procomp enc. it should not be too much. Just remember, if you add a winch, you add extra weight to the front, the normal suspension in front do have to cope with it, especial...

Re: Shocks

Hallo Tristan,

You can fit the rear shocks of a Landcruiser 75 or 79 series, they have the same shock mountings as the Hilux SFA, just longer. Brand is your choice as I see you want to save money.
