Hi mate

ohh and turn off your caps lock,its classed as shouting and very rude :roll:

That's some huge truck you've got there! Did you do the mods yourself?
-
not all of it i jus build on what i bought.

How about a snorkel ?
Or for a better power supply for them big feet a V8 :grin:
If you want it to look even taller may I suggest the sidesteps go ?

Good point- I bet the 2.4L feels a bit underpowered with those massive tyres. Do you know if a low ratio diff has been fitted to help the engine cope?

Join the Hilux Surf Forum......they'd be impressed with that truck!

I'm quite sure lower ratio diff's have been fitted.
A V8 would be great (good power and great sounding) but the people i've asked don't know where i can get the conversion kit from as i have been told they do them. and does anyone know how much work is involved? i'm a mechanic by trade and not afraid to do work myself.
i also thought about putting a 4.2 landcruiser lump in but don't know if engine and gear box will match up.
i can't really lose the side steps cos the girlfriend moans now that she can hardly get in so it would cause more ear ache than good to take them off. if i could i would, their only mud catcher as it is.
-
Good luck if you are thinking of the 4.2 lump, you may have the same problem as that encountered with a 3.0 - ie you would also need to install the loom :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
Once the Surf forum is back try the catch Vatchman, as he has recently done the V8 conversion, alternatively speak to TonyN at http://www.4x4toys.co.uk/ who should be able to help you.
