Hilux Max build thread

[Hilux Max]

Hi Maxx,

I'm looking for a Prerunner bar like the one you have on that goodlooking red Lux. Can you share the brand and ref #? I'd really appreciated.

[Hilux Max]

Pfft why they are a rubbish tyre, only people who seem to like them are you Victorians but then you like AFL and VB so one really has to wonder why the Mardi Gra hasnt been relocated to there

Small Update Guys.....

Finished work at lunctime today...... and got home and started pulling the ARB bar off the hilux....mate, was so much easier pulling it off than putting the damn thing together....got it off in 30minutes.....

I also measured before and after and the Hilux without the bar was only 5mm higher than before......not bad.....

Heres a couple of pics of the Hilux without a Nose....now my hilux feels like Michael Jackson


Damn the front looks alot higher without the bar


Side View with spotlight tied up to grille as a mockup....you can seefrom the front of the spot light to the chassis mount how much of an increase in approach angle there will be with the custom barwork



Whilst the bar was off I also got stuck into the washer bottle....I removed it completely and will be relocating it into the engine and replacing it with an aftermarket ford or holden bottle that I saw at an atuo store on the weekend...will be abit smaller but will do the job.....and will allow more room for side supports for the front bar aswell as more room for bigger tyres later on.

Before -


After -

should just snip a few inches out of the chassy mount, no one wil notice

[Hilux Max]

[ry888]

r u gonna change ur bar to tubular bar like this??? I really wish to see this kind of bar fitted on hilux...
just wondering how it looks like on our Lux....

[GreenHilux Guy]

Hey Maxx,

Ben's bar look very similar to the ones above on the triton. Although he has the wings covered in sheet metal and powdercoated black.

It looks like a pre runner bar on a US sand rail style truck.

You would love it.

[rodw]

Awesome start Max. Can't wait to see this truck in the new year after you do the bar work and after you other plans are done!

[ry888]

Is Ben the owner of 07 white Tacoma?? nick name freeze??
If not can u give me the link of his ride..
really wish to see that bar fitted on Hilux..
