So I take it your not a fan of the 3y then. Any reasons?

ahh I'm a dick Yea it's a 2 litre ie 2000cc gas engine, I should have clicked I used to have a 2lt engine. Regards Kelvin

Hi guys I'm thinking of buying an 82 Hilux single cab with a 2lt 3Y gass engine. It's a New Zealand truck so it missed out on the famous 22r, and there doesn't seem to be much info about these engines on the net. Do any of you have experience with this engine or know if I could put a 22r...

Sold for $2100 If I'd seen your post before it closed I might have helped you out.

Oh sweet I get it might take some pics of the process so everyone else can see what to do (or what not to do). Thanks Kelvin

Hi guys I have a 1984 bj42 and was wondering what changes were made to the hangers in the early 80's ? (I'm sure ther was a difference). Asking as the oppertunity to buy either fj55 springs or fj60 springs has come up, and am wondering if the different hangers will make it easier or harder to...

Ahhh CLICK Thanks John. I remembered thinking it was stupid when I tore the truck down, thats going to make the floor easier as I can just leave it off. Best regards Kelvin

Hi guys I think I'm going to have to replace my floor and can't remember what the bracket at the bottom of the passengers footwell is for, and how acuratley I'm going to have to line it up on the new floor. Oh and it's on a rhd so will probably be on the opposite side as this. Regards Kelvin

Springs will be original 40 springs I just want to move front hanger back a bit ( axle in stock position) to get a nicer ride and more atticulation. I will need to drop the hangers to allow this but figure it will give me a nice lift while i'm at it.

Sorry I must have been confusing everyone. I deffinatley don't want to do a shackle reversal, just want to move the front shackle hanger like 2" back. Oh and extend all of the spring mounting points down by 2" Thanks Kelvin

Hi I've finally figured out what I want to do. 1. Spring flp on rear and later when funds allow I'll put 55 springs back there. 2. I want to move the front hanger towards the firewall to allow for a longer less steep shackle, but the steering arm thing will get in the way. I figure...

Kiora All Im currently sorting my s#!+ out trying to figure the best way to do this and that, hoping you have some info to help me. (BJ42 sua) 1. I want to do a spring flip and drill on the front but need to know if this is fine on non power steer trucks? as all of yours seem to have power...

Why can't Chris just move his rear shackle hangers toward the front of the vehicle and run a longer shackle, isn't this doing basically the same thing ( sure it wouldn't quite get the same droop) but keeping wb in original position. Now for my question. I can't source any 55 springs but can...

Sweet I'll do it but when I get round to it you can expect lots of questions.
