Thanks. Steve/Supralux, just tried it and sure enough the left rear is still on the ground when the right rear is about 30-35mm clear. The front is close to normal but the right comes clear by 10-15mm before the left. So now its time to save for some springs. Front and rear. One other thing that ...

Supralux(Steve), Sorry i offended you.
You have a great depth of knowledge.
I hope to be able to give you a yell at some stage about my LN 106 problems. See:

In other words still got the sag! LOL

Solution on the Hilux Club is coming soon.

I really don't think anything can replace ORE in being a great place for ideas and contacts. Thanks lilpigzuk for your feedback. Proof from the horses mouth that a make/model specific club works. Small sideline for me is i used to own a fully original LJ50 complete with the 540cc 2-stroke! Online ...

I find it always very interesting to hear both the positive and the negative sides of every arguement. That is one of the fundamentals of living in a democratic society. It is very true that there are many clubs out there. However, the Zukin and Landrover clubs tend to work very well because of the ...

Well the Landrover Clubs includes Range Rovers.
Certainly. It would be sad not to.
Plus if we didn't include Surfs I would get in ALOT of trouble.....
My wife has a Surf!!!

So who would be keen on helping set up a new club for NZ Hilux owners. With the Hilux being one of the most sold utilities sold in NZ over the last 20 odd years I am surprised that there hasn't already been a Hilux Club. The prevelance of this vehicle means that as a group we may be able to have a ...

One Final Foot Note. In the process of mesuring things I found that my shocks, Standard Toyota, were near their maximum range of extension. While driving on road and cornering the shock on the inside had only a further 5mm (YES FIVE MILLIMETRES!!!!) to travel. Causing some interesting handling. The ...

Got the Answer To the Sagging So with all tires at the same pressure I firstly measured From the level floor to a point on the arches. Both points being vertically above and below the center of the hub. First test Left 94.8cm 94.9cm Front Rear Right 96.4cm 96.9cm I then bounced it around and rocked ...

Damn, Sorry about that.
Try the others though.
Especially the Klondyke Road trip on a fine day.
Stunning views over the Port Waikato Area.

Good advice!
But what place will accept trade ins that are saggy!

Won't be on the hill. But they got lots of snow.
If you need wax bring it into the shop in Papatoe2.
Ski Trading Post.
Will be under my ute this weekend.

Think your right about the weather.
I have to train regardless.... exams coming up for skiing.

But you idea is good.

I grew up in the Taupo/National Park area so I know of some nice 4x4 spots.... Maybe worth a mission.
Beers and Cheers!

The OME springs are the right way round. Took great care about that one. This particular Hilux was owned by the maintenance crew at the Thames Toyota plant for most of its life. 270000km when I got it. I believe that alt ough drven hard on road it was lucky to have seen gravel. The work I have done ...

Thanks for the replies. I AM a big guy. 130kg. However I have no noticable extra sag when I climb in. But it's a good laugh! There are new OME springs front and re set Toyota leaves (9) in the rear. checked by Universal Springs Pukekohe. I'll check the diff thing. But looks like I'm up for new ...

On the road between Drury and Pukekohe is a Dead End Road called SIMS Road. It's on the left coming from Drury just before the start of the second over taking lane. If you get to the gas station, golf course and Glenbrook intersection you've gon about 2km too far. It is only about 1km long but is a ...

I have a LN 106 2.8D Hilux Nov 94 Long Wheel Base (2.2m Wellside tray). Leaf springs all round. New Old Man Emu springs on front and recond/reset heavy duty factory springs in the rear. My problem is the vehicle still sags front right. All springs have been checked for equality of set. The OME ...
