A little Help!

[essex4x4]

Hello to you all!

My name is Matt and i am from the UK. Unlike you lucky people down under we cant get half as much as you can for your trucks and also as most of the stuff available is imported from Oz or Thailand our prices seem more expensive that yours!

BUT anyway i am going to lift my truck and i have the choice of either 2" or 4" suspension lift, i was wondering whether anyone would be able to post a photo of either of these lifts so i can make my mind up! No one in the UK has done anything to a new Hilux yet!

Many Thanks,
Matt

Hi there

I currently living in London, if you look up my profile you will see that I had a lifted Hilux, this is a 3.5" lift.

When I told the guys in Australia (that did the work to my Hilux) I was selling the hilux and moving to London he said he is exporting his lift kits to a guy in the UK, if you like I will send him an email and ask for some details.

Cheers

Dan

Also so if you ever need a passenger for a 4x4 trip count me in, I'm having huge withdrawals

[essex4x4]

Dan, if you could send me some details that would be brilliant! Whereabouts in London are you?? Will be doing a lot of off roading trips this year and im sure you will be able to tag along! Many Thanks, Matt

[Danlux]

Tag along That would be great. I'm living in Wimbledon, will send The ultimate Suspension an email to day and will pass on the contact details as soon as I can.

Thanks Dan

Ok thanks mate, much appreciated! How long are you over here if you dont mind me asking??

[Danlux]

Here for as few years, at least 2, i'm not restricted by a visas so who knows how long I'll be here.

[essex4x4]

How comes you decided to move?? Work or family?? Sorry just curious! Did you do any of the bits to your truck yourself?? As i may need some help and there isnt anyone who had modded the new hilux yet! Cheers, Matt

Always thought the POM'S where a bit slower than us Oz's

[essex4x4]

lol, too right mate when it comes to this sort of stuff!

[Danlux]

[Danlux]

Dont say sorry, every pom I meet ask the same question, they all think I'm stupid.

One of the reasons was work, but the main reason was a change of scenery and pace, a chance to travel and to earn some of your very good English pounds, there worth a fortune back in Aus

The Hilux, no I didn't do any of the work my self, but I did spend a lot of time at the work shop when it was being done, watching and learning.

Ok mate, well i get my suspension lift hopefully in a month or so as they have to get it from Oz, then it will be 7-8 weeks for winch and mount, and i will get my snorkel fitted then as well. So when its done i will give you a shout. Cheers, Matt

[Danlux]

Well I got a response from the guys in Aus about the suspension, this is disappointing.


[quote]Hi Dan,
Great to hear from you and I hope all is going well for you both over there.

With regards to the Hi Lux kit and our business contact over there.

Our original contact failed to come up with the orders. I personally think,He was talking big so he could purchase at the best export price for his own use.

If the contact you have made wishes to buy direct we will look after him.

My main concern is to find some one who is technical and a good reliable fitter to represent us.

I would appreciate if you could check the local seen out for me.[/quote]

thats a shame, oh well, looks like i have changed my plans now anyway, going to buy something else for off roading so i dont have to worry about breaking it so much! The Hilux is too nice to off road to the extreme! Matt
