Offroad-Express

had the Lux out for its first Voyage by driving it to Wanga's yesterday and had a quick play this morning at the river checking for rubbing and the bump stop lengths etc, everything seems ok so far but if anyone has a pair of old sagged swb front patrol/safari springs lying around I'd be keen to try them in the rear end as the standard 130 surf springs are sagged and a bit low compared to the front with factory 78 Prado coils

After last weekends run, my relay rod was bent again, so this morning I finally fitted the new one thats been sitting in the shed for a while and then got a wheel alignment

bought some new wiper blades on way home, so will fit those then got a 40th to go to tonight

so tomorrow will most likely be a quiet day at my mates watching the V8s and recovering from the 40th

Nice hilux haydgq, Have you done a build thread for it? Looks interesting.

Im still trying to drag my ass off the couch to go clean the 40 an fit my new rear greasable shackles I got this week

Set to with Pig farmer (THANKS MATE) today and we lifted the whale 45mm so all ready for Lake Daniels club trip next w/e got the lift in ok about 2 hours but could not get 4 wheel drive low or any of the back gears so a bit of heat (and a small fire) bent the gear lever then attacked the tranny tunnel with angle grinder and all was sweet

Hi Fakey,

Na i havent done a build thread but prob should of but its taken so long everybody would get bored haha

Its bascially a 130 surf chassis with a 78 series Prado front HP diff, with a bobbed wellside and 65 series hilux single cab with a 1uzfe under the bonnet. pretty standard stuff these days with all sorts of crazy builds going on.!!

made the trip to Hamilton 3 times and survived my brothers driving on the way home tonight.
