It works well with a Kz gearbox. My first v8 I did myself (into a IFS hilux) but this one was done in Nelspruit. I did not have time to do Buffel and I refused to drive a 22R Got used to the v8 8)

Re: My intro: Hilux V8 Lexus Manual box
Thanx all of you, must say I like my Lux aswell :D
Luke, Kz I got for R 8500 and adaptor plate I bought for R 2500 I think. Ratios is 4.875:1. Nice for me, I don't do LONG hauls with it and I ran on 5.29 aswell, but that is a bit to high. Think for long hauls, stick to 4:55's. I use my Lux closeby and if I go far, I load it on a trailer behind my GX105. ( Usually the family goes with) Would like a d/cab 8)

Re: My intro: Hilux V8 Lexus Manual box
CMB, I loose too much aproach angle withthat replacement bumpers .
Scorpion, v8 is 8) . A bit nippy in the quarry, but nice. The guy who did it, knows what he is doing yeah, but I had a little disagreement with him afterwards. He won't see me again. He SOLD my stock box without telling me and after 3 months the box apparantly broke. HE expected me to help him with the guarantee he gave the client. How can he expect that?
Front I have 4" procomp with LOOONG schackles and cruiser schocks and rear I have ome with blocks and the longest ome schock available

Re: My intro: Hilux V8 Lexus Manual box
All these conversion shops promise 8km/l, even 10. Bullsh!t ! :evil: . My first v8 was back for tuning 3 times and nothing better. I get 6 on open road and 4 in town and this is my second v8. I have microtech EMS and manual box. Can anyone do tuning to get 8km/l ?? Or is it only my van that's so heavy??

Re: Outlaw's intro: Hilux V8 Lexus Manual box
Cool! See the Cruiser axle and control arms, but would be nice in a slightly bigger size (800 x 600) for more detail. Did you make up your own track-bar? and do you find that it limits articulation on the one side (LHS in your case)?

Looking very neat! Maybe it's just my eyes or just the angle of the pics, but I don't see an upper control arm / stabiliser ... what stops the axle from wrapping?
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

control arms works exactly the same as on a Land Cruiser.. only the rear axle has upper arms, the front has 2 mounts on the axle to the control arms
