Lewis Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 IIRC the '91 Hilux at the farm I used to work at had Low range, it was set up much like a series with high 2wd drive, high 4wd and low 4wd Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diff Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 4wd hilux, anyone know if they have a low box in them? Yes they do. They differ from Land rover transfer cases in that the rear output flange is in line with the rest of the gearbox ie where the landrover pto cover is. The front output flange is in a similar position to a landrover one. Regards, Diff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon White Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Funnily enough I've always liked em....... Add a set of Frontera alloys and a set of old XR2 seats and it looks alot better and is alot more comfortable. Have to say though they always handle better with a few bags of cement in the back........and that stupid dooda thats supposed to adjust the braking bias dependant on the load is always siezed solid...... And pray you never get a punture casue the spare wheel mechanism is always siezed solid too...... And they rust like crazy....... The Na diesels are slower than a slow thing and the petrols are just thirsty........ Still like them though...... Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 A lad we go offroading with runs a Hilux with huge lift, 37" boggers and lockers front and rear, quite a nice truck, doesnt seem to break as much as a Defender. He's also building a pimpy one for the road with a 5.7 Chevy V8 Sorry, no pictures tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeagent Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 i know someone who is also building a pimpy one for the road, with a 5.7litre chevy V8, and 44" boggers.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 probably (?) more reliable though Yeah but you wish it would break down so you could get out and rest your spine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Yeah but you wish it would break down so you could get out and rest your spine Definitely, kidney belt is a must in one of these, just like most of the Landcruisers, a Series LR is soft by comparison. Defenders are decadent luxury by comparison, believe me ! Still, like Land Rovers, there's still a lot of old ones in daily use in Africa Everything keeps going right, Toyota ! (advertising slogan here) Note the important moving parts have been replaced with LR items though Regards, Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bush65 Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 They changed to IFS a few years back. These don't go very well off road. The ones with solid front axle have leaf springs all round. Lots and lots of after market support for these in Aus and USA. IIRC hilux has been biggest selling 4wd in Aus for many years. Probably more sales in a week or 2, than all Rovers in a year.
