Anyone know good suspension mobs in brisbane. Need to get some leafs done

Dobinsons are at Brendale northside of Brisbane have full suspension fitted to my Hi Lux, they ask what you want your Hi Lux to do, then fit accordingly.

Oh sweet. If I bought them my standard leafs would they re pack then or better of buying new ones. Do you know?

Give them a call or website http://www.dobinsonsprings.com/index.php#thm

Cheers mate I'll give them a ring this week

Old amp shit itself. Even though it was only 2 years old. Where it was sitting it got knocked around a bit. I was happy with the quality so I bought the newer version of it. Also decided to upgrade my head unit while I was at it. It's a sony double din. No gps or anything fancy. Just music and DVD and phone Bluetooth all I need really. Tried it out at the store and seems like a simple unit to use. Also came with a free reverse camera

you are going to love the improvement. the first thing i did when i got my hilux was put in a pioneer double din head unit, amp and sub.

Yeah. The only real change is the head unit. Amp is exactly the same. Should be a bit better sound quality hopefully. Putting it in this afternoon

Anyone able to help here. Everything is hooked up correctly however I'm not getting any bass through the sub. If I turn the adjusters on the amp right up I can just feel the bass. Any ideas on why? Wired the old amp up to test it and it worked. Swapped back to the new one and nothing.

Stereo all sorted. Turns out I shouldn't have soldered a connection pumps hard now

Looks fantastic dude how do you like that led work light?
Tub looks awsome too. Grate job keep up the good work

Sorry dude just saw that then. Work light is awesome. Can drive at night with nothing but that on and still see a fair bit. Cheers for the compliment.

So cracked radiator, leaking water pump. Water leaking onto drive belt making a awful squeak. Front break pads had cracked and bits missing. Exhaust melted solid rear break line. Few seals in engine cracked. Diff still leaking oil. And cracked windscreen. This service is going to cost a bit...
Will be going up for sale next week when I get it back. For real this time haha found the light and am getting a lease for a single cab cruiser next month
Been a fun ute to have but want some better

That sucks man. I just did my water pump wasn't to bad... Go the dual cab cruiser

Can't afford the dual cab at the moment. Still to expensive 2nd hand, there still pretty new

Had a bit of time off today so go to do some work on my trailer

I use this trailer every day for work but I'm halfway through setting it up for camping as well.
Today I upgraded my axle hubs and wheels. The old cheese cutters and 30mm axle just couldn't cope anymore. So got a 45mm axle 6 stud hubs and put my old 31" tyres on.
First time I've ever done bearings or axles, piece of piss really.
The tyres Obviously didn't fit in the guards so chopped them off and picking some new ones up tomorrow. Also getting a cage made up for the top that I will mount the rtt to. Not sure how I will deck out the inside yet. Might just keep it open for camping.
The cheese cutters last day


First fitment they stick out the guards 60 mm


And how it sits now. Guards go on tomorrow sits about 3" higher than with the old tyres

time to start something new. decided to finally sell her. all going well i should be getting my new luxy on monday, its a 2010 d4d dual cab completely stock apart from a long range tank and bulbar. hopefully i sell mine pretty soon.
started to strip off all the mods yesterday that ill be bring with me to the new ute.
won't be anything special this one just enough to take me camping and some easy 4x4




also what aftermarket radiators have people been using. the one on the new ute is all clogged up and useless thought may as well upgrade it while its out

bought myself a newer hilux this week. i was getting over the poor fuel consumption of the petrol.
its a 2010 dual cab sr with only 57thou km's. pretty much standard apart from the long range tank, engine immobiliser, and roll cage. (was a ex mines vehicle) immaculate inside and out was only used at the office never went on site.

pretty much everything from my black hilux now is going on to the new white one.

old



and the new one

What sort of Ks per tank were u getting in the V6?? I'm getting over 500 easily with 285 tyres

I was only getting 410 ish. I would say my driving has a lot to do with it. Also I tow a 700kg trailer everyday

after hanging onto this for a few extra years after I bought my new lux it's sad to say that it's finally gone now. Will defiantly be missed
