Yup porters road is another good one, havent really been too far in there myself yet. Ah bro, where were you a few weeks ago haha I just brought whole new hubs and a complete brake setup to get the brakes working on my transporter! Still got an issue with the hub nuts not fitting got to work out a plan there

Yeh man its pretty good a i know it off the back of me head now been in there like 5 times in the last 3 months a. hahaha tru funny. yeh i wanna get manual hubs for mine and try and upgrade the front diff aparently they are shit had no hassles yet touch wood lol

Iv never been out porters road. I know thompsons track like the back of my hand and iv been out whakamaramara a couple of times. Would b keen to set up a date and go for a mission. Good old toyotas mines been to hell and back sevral times

1ROLLA i got a set of manual hubs. Been well use but still work fine. Pm me can have a chat.

The front diffs are supposedly shit, especially if you have huge tyres, my mate with a LN130 has had 32"s on his since he got it and never had any problems tho even with the standard inboard auto hub locks fitted. The extra grunt of the V6 might kill it a bit quicker tho, the only person I know that had a VZN130 had a prado solid front axle fitted so no diff problems there

Wow a prado one was that a live axle???? What did that set him back i was thinking about something like that but people reckon sell it and buy one a mines algood for a start a. Im only runny 32''s to so im pretty safe then

Yup prado live axle, running 35" simex's, he did it all himself, then sold it for like $4k at the end of last year, what waste haha. I've just got a dirty old petrol hilux, de-reg (hence the trailer), and pretty much setup for just play, shortened steel deck, winch, etc. I only run 31"s and it goes most places without too much trouble

What a waste alright would of been a mean play truck a. Mate its gota be better than nothing a i wouldnt mind a trailer truck a then i would be to worryed about it a. mean a toyotas a go anywhere i reckon my mate was blowen away with the surf where it can go a ive removed the sway bay on the back to get more flex works a treat as well
