Zapperx's Hilux

[zapperx]

Norway calling........
I just bought a 2007 Hilux and after driving slammed vw's for the last years this will be some different
Due to the norwegian laws when it comes to modify your car this will be a mild build-up. Today I put on the 32" MT's and the plans are 2" OME lift, Safari Snorkel and some other bits and pieces. I would love 33", 4" lift, ARB bull bar, winch+++, but like I said, the norwegian rules just wouldn't like that

Welcome mate....any chance of an explanation of what the Norweigian Road Rules do allow for our interest?

[zapperx]

Bull bar is no-go due to "vulnerable road users" and "the other one" in a crash, and when it comes to big tyres and lift a lot can be done actually, but the cost is f%#§ed-up and the process are long and sloooow. Arctic Truck can deliver up to 44" on Hilux but think I go for the easy 2" DIY solution

welcome buddy, lux is looking good
so your rules are slightly more flexable than here in Aus but still relativly strict, you just need a deep wallet The government only just recently here in Aus tryed to ban B/Bars but by the sounds of things B/Bars are here to stay.

Thats funny.... you cannot run a bulbar because its dangerous for pedestrians but you can jack your hilux up and fitt 44" tyres so that the factory front bumper/towhooks/bashplate can clean take off a pedestrians head at the same height

I'd give up my right to a bullbar to run 44's....

Welsome aboard mate.

Agree with Max, I would give up the bullbar too to run 44" tyres
