hilux

Time for another build :D Introducing my new 1978 Toyota Hilux I just picked up! It is a quality unit with no engine, or bed... For real though, it was $300, has very little rust (mainly some surface rust on the frame) and came with a title. Dude had to hack off the middle of the bed for...

Hi guys, been on the forum on and off over the last couple of years, previously I had an LJ78 landcruiser that i did a few engine mods on, most notably the Holset HE200 turbo Conversion. I have a post in the forum about that. Since completing my apprenticeship as a diesel mechanic, i decided...

Hey y'all! I just bought a 3L Hilux (no turbo), recently imported from Japan, two weeks ago, it's my first diesel and I already made some mistakes. I was driving out to Colorado and ran out of fuel on the Penna Pike (4 miles from the non-gouging station, because I didn't know there was no tank...

Gday all, just thought I’d flick up a couple pics of my project of the last 6 years, now mostly at a point I’m happy with. It’s come a long way as obvious! Has anyone got pics of one of these old girls ‘period correct’ modified? I’m aware mine is not. Any 90’s Pickup/Hilux would be interesting...

Gday all, I’m new to IH8MUD, and have a question about my Fram filter. The vehicle is a 1990 LN106 Hilux wih the 3L motor, plus turbo. The 3L is currently being assessed for cause of cracked piston (that’s another story), and while checking through the empty engine bay I found dust in the...

Hello Everyone, I decided to join the community and post about my 1989 Hilux I bought a few years ago and am finally getting around to restoring. I am the lucky guy that managed to find a JDM Hilux in the USA with a owner that was not much of a car guy. He just knew he saw Hilux's in Iraq and...

This is an FYI to anyone with an 89-95 US-spec 4x4 pickup. Many of the rear suspension products that @Ironman 4x4 USA have specified on their website for these trucks do NOT fit. The part numbers are below: The u-bolts are about 1/2-3/4” too narrow to work with the factory lower plates that...

Ignoring the large machine gun in the back of this one...I love the graphics on this Hilux. Kind of reminds me of mountains. Has got to be a Middle East-spec model. I've never seen those graphics before and they're my most favorite I've seen. Love that color scheme...very early 1980's. The...

Hi folks! Was hoping someone could help me identify a clanging sound when driving. Truck is a 1991 Hilux Surf with about 33k miles, and has a 2L-TE with a 5sp manual transmission. The sound starts around 2000rpm and is loudest around 2500rpm, but once the truck has gotten a good amount of time...

I am a new member, with a vast experience in expeditions on foot but admittedly very little experience with 4WD built up. I hope that thsi I recently purchased a highly modified 2011 Hi-Lux with a lot of LandCruiser parts in it. I currently live in Bali, Indonesia and I am planning to use this...

1970 Toyota Hilux first generation. 4cyl 8RC 2x4. $5,000 obo. This truck is all original and in great shape for a PNW truck that's 50 years old. It does run and drive. Not a daily driver. Comes with a stack of receipts from over the years. I purchased to restore but now have orders to Germany...

Well folks. As much as I love the Toyota, it is time to move it on to the next lucky owner. I have my sights set on other projects so here is your chance at one killer cool custom rig. Me and my buddy Jeff picked this up as a team project and have spent many Saturdays and many many dollars...

Help: I recently bought a Toyota Sandtana tilt-top 83' diesel engine. The RV was built on top of a Hilux with what I believe is an L1 engine. When I bought the truck it was not running, I did reasonable upkeep and ended up getting it running after two years of sitting. I replaced the "Micky...
