Well, the mud is a lot stickier.. most are clay... well I guess depends where you go... etc clay sux as you just fill ur the tires tread with mud and then you have slick!... Is always rain there, so you will always get mud... the soil never get dry! All the 4x4 on the photos are road legal... well ...

Well, finally just got myself some 2nd hand high lift springs for my LN130 Surf. They are off some Jap import Surf. With the information/number I got from the springs, and did some google, they are approximately 13cm lift kit! aka 5"!? I measure it, they are 400mm high, 17mm diameter and 6 1/4 coils ...

Does anyone know what brand and where to get some rear lifted springs with progressive rate for 130 series surf? I have check that King Springs, Dobi, and Cobra haven't got progressive rate. Reason is that, is not carrying weight most the time, so it not bouncy but in the odd time it will be loaded ...

went for a play at ashurst with Haynzy, na-drifter and taxi(?) meet up by luck with basics and had a blast pluggung thru bogs and the likes but its very dry so most of the trails are water/mud free!! m supra power at its best!! Cool weekend guys... shame about the overheating problem... after fit ...

Nah, not going to win anyway, and car dont like the taupo track.. dont tell Matt that i'm playing mud this sat.. LOL Not suer where we going... should be just somewhere close... give me a ring later on at home when u free... I try to ring u but someone is on the net..

haha , 35 in mud might break my diff???
I got some mud tyres now... just 2nd hand, should be enough... oh, u keen to go out this Sat?? a few other from here are going...

Thanks Steve,

Found some petrol 130 series surf diff on trademe, but they have 0285 diff code.. so that's 4.3:1 and LSD... So I'll keep looking... also what they normaly worth for the front and rear diff?

Hi all, I noticed the biggest recommended size tyres size for LN130 is 33x12.5... due to front diff might give up when offroading. So I wondering what needed to be done if wanting 35x12.5 .. to fit under the LN130 Surf? If it going to be use on the road most the time, then there is no risk of ...

Thanks guys for the reply.. at the moment, I got 3" body lift, with steering mod to suit. The gearbox got 2" lift too to help with the engine conversion, so basically the drivetrain only got 2" lift. I'm thinking to get some new lift rear springs and make up some block for the IFS, and also drop the ...

Hi all, This is for Hilux Surf LN130, I wondering how much lift from standard before driveshaft etc pop off from gearbox etc.... or before they break due to have less contact area at the shaft/spline... in offroad condition. Will total of 4-5 inch total(from gearbox + suspension lift) ok? What is ...

Hi guys, I'm quite keen on this.. but I can't confirm if I will able to make it at this stage... Just brought some MT tyres for my surf.. My surf haven't seen much mud yet...

wow! Cool!! and that's Dec??? Ain't it middle of summer??

Might have to find a cold day and go up there.. might see some snow!

I think I been there once on my bother old Land Cruiser.. few years ago... it have a PTO winch, and basically, got to the point that too steep and free wheeling and decided to head back down after the hut. I'm keen on going for another look on my Surf but only got A/T tyres.. hope they ok for it ...

Does the newer model Surf have the same rear shock as LN130?

cool, if the price is close, i'll just get it from them too.. save me all the hassle.. else i might have to try other contact in Malaysia see if they can do a good deal..

Cheers.. yeah planning on getting new springs for the rear... might replace the rear shocks too. It had alignment done (i hope) as I just had the Toyota recall thing on the surf 2 months ago. Is fine when driving straight. 80mm? well, part of the reason is that it need cert anyway, so just make it ...

Hi all, Got some rough price for the MT-117 http://www.silverstone.com.my/images/catalog/tyre_mt117_b.jpg 285/85/16 6PR (overall diameter 900mm) approx NZ$300-350 each 750-16C 8PR(also have 10PR,12PR), 824mm, approx NZ$285-330 each This are only approx price... very likely will be cheaper depending ...
