Hey looking foward to watching your build, I wouldn't worry about the auto trans on the V6 moddel as i'v been told by many suzuki nut's and mechanic"s that there by far stronger then the manual box... Your last zuki look like it kept ya bizzy.
yeah the old zook was a good build. it was just the bloody front diffs breaking every every 5 minutes. i went through 7 housings in about 2 months a few more ponies and a shorter wheelbase this time. will just do a budget lift - laurel rear springs & vn commy shocks, front strut top flip & 5 dr grand vit springs, and a body lift. should clear 31" simex with a guard trim.

Its better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.
hi im up in wairoa and have started a build (v6 manual) was wondering if we could catch up at some stage interested in how you changed your c.vs over and tank lift

Hi Butcherboy,
Did you make the front bull bar yourself or buy it?
the cv swap was a mission, i wont bother going to those lengths again, big pain small gain. i feel it made the alloy diff more prone to breaking as it doesnt have an output bearing that side of the diff. il get a calmini anvil when i can afford it.
the tank lift is basically flip the tank mounts upside-down and refit tank (after a bodylift of course).

Yep thats for sure, known a few people with auto v6's and the trans has outlasted the engine. I had a manual one and had the box played up twice in the year I owned it, and thats with 99% road use.
well, once ive sold the hilux the mods will commence
