So I have a 1998 double cab Hilux N60 with 5L N/A diesel. This orginally was going to be an immdiate sale due to unexpected changes between buying the truck and arriving in port. But since I sold my long term build, a Land Rover Defender 110, and that this hilux decided to start knocking, I'm going to build and sort this hilux out before eventually selling it.
Immediate to do:
- Rebuild 5L engine: Seems like possible BEB, but engine need to be opened up. I found some good rebuild kits out of Australia , and I found a good machine shop that will do the rebuild.
- Bedline be with color matched bedliner
- New Suspension
-ARB bumper
- Sound deadening
-New rims, or refinish rims
Possible projects:
-A/c Install (use domestic truck's a/c unit and have a/c hop make lines for rhd .
-Turbo install
There are not many build threads about these online, despite how common and popular these trucks are, it seems.
