Dedz

Nice project man, can't stop a yota!

wow, so much info on the build, thanks OP

Wham to the FD in the fore?

Wais that prop up on bricks in the back?

Look like another lux, real long shackles dey OP!


But post some more pics nah!

the old cab is on bricks. i sold it already.

i aint get the big tyres yet

and the FD u asking about.

as u requested

Not bad man, looking real good, what's powering it? And where did u get the corner lamps, been looking for the all clear!

corner lamps came with the cab...the cab is from england. engine is a 2L diesel, local engine rebuilt. depend on how it moving, i may take it out and use a 1KZ engine and box

Easier to say than find! But good plan man, can't wait to see the finished product

fireman has a 1KZ engine, its not that hard to find and the box i will bring in from another country

But for how much organs?

man I think rottedv has a ikz and box for sale it is a complete conversion for the hilux

Engine and trans

Reminds me of the surflux I had once. You can't be disappointed with Toyota. Yeah I have the 1KZ and tranny. If I could have gotten a gearbox for it that was not leaving my hands but it may still remain. Looking good. Double shocks? What lift? Springs and body? What Springs.....? No cross over steering?

yes double shocks in the front and 4 in the rear. 5 inch lift on suspension and 3 inch on body...no cross over steering, using a drop drag link and tough dog return to center steering damper and i brought in a power steering box from another country because this was a TAX model with manual steering box. with the bigger tyres i will get another 3 inches of lift.

(note: i did not do any cutting and welding of the j arm or the pitman arm that i see people doing, neither did i run lift blocks under my front springs,lol.)

So with these mods what size/brand tires are u gonna be running?

And the real question,

Will u mudd it?

But nice build man, similar to my own, hopefully I will be done and driving soon!

looking at possibly 35 x 12.5 x 15 TSL or maybe wider if it can fit.
I will do some off-roading but noting too extreme

installing some diff breathers tomorrow.

I did all the work myself and it took about 4 months and alot of research especially with sorting out the steering.

drag link

Most common steering mod is the hi steer arms with crossover steering and IFS box, and this way is also and option!

the cross over is the best but i already bought my steering box and it was expensive.

home made body lift kit

on ebay there is an aftermarket bellhousing for sale where u can mate the 1kz to the 2L or 3L gearbox. cause a 1kz with a gearbox is like gold to find

thanks will look for it

example of what not to do in the front of your SAF hilux.
lift blocks under front springs is not advisable, neither is cutting and welding your pitman arm.
