Have to give a big thanks to Matt from monster rides for helping me out thanks alot mate, look foward to meeting ya....


Your welcome Trent... We aim to please!

Look forward to meeting you as well in a few weeks.


I'm also seriously considering Charcoal as the colour of my new Hilux... Twisty's truck has been the major influence.
Very nice colour... I've always loved black trucks though :roll:

Hmmmm.... might depend on availability?

x 2!!

I reckon you'll be on the hunt for more grunt in no time!!

Good luck with your new Hilux... I'm sure it will be a really nice truck.


Cheers

Bit of an update, have gone with the bilstein suspension instead of the total choas kit as i could'nt justify spending that sort of cash :( but the bilstein's look pretty trick so im hanging to get my new truck so i can start modding it :D Got the bilstein's from the states for a steal :) :)

:lol: :lol: they dont stand out as much as the yellow billies that are sold here and there alot cheaper than any shop here, if you want suspension get it from the states, our dollar is strong at the moment so spend up ;)
My mate just ordered a set of billies for hes 80 series and all up delivered to his door it cost him $350 not bad

I run the billies and King Springs combo on the Prado and couldnt be happier they have held their height well also considering I went the soft rate and have towed the Lux on them several times. If doing it again I would consider the medium rate though as at times the soft can seem a little prone to bodyroll.

SR5LUX with the 0 offset on your wheels does that mean that they will give you a slighter wider track? sorry but offset really confuses the shit out of me.I'm considering ordering these wheels from the states but i'll be running the 265's.

YES JOGAL,

the more negative the number of the offset the wider (further out) the wheel sits.
