matts hilux build

Postby mattlittle on Tue, 26 Apr 2011 4:29 +0000

hi everyone i am only new and havent done much yet to my hilux and have a huge list of things to do just thought i would put up some picks of it so far so here goes

stock off the production line
Image
first was a new set of rims rubber and a 3 inch lift kit from snake racing
Image
then was my under body armour and a new xrox bullbar
Image
and this is how it is now a 2 inch body lift bonet scrub guard and side steps gone
Image
Image
so that is it so far got a spare battery,6 spotties and new rock slidders to go on next time i have some free time

plus very soon i will be getting a full rekon kit to get rid of my snake racing stuff and hopefully some e lockers and a 1/4 cut on my rear end

will keep posting more picks as it gets done

There supposedly made to suit a 50mm body lift. I'm not sure there may be another mounting bracket required to lift it up to suit. I'd be interested to see how it does get lifted ;)
The rims look awesome on your lux :D

Looks pretty good.
Tell me, does the main hoop on the xrox lean away from the car or towards the car?
Even better, a side on pic would be sweet 8-)

Looks sic man. I think its just a matter of buying some new mounting brackets in order to lift the xrox to suit the body lift.

Send monster rides or mmaaxx a pm and I am sure they can source and sort out something, if not they will be able to point you in the right direction...

What Jack said. If not may be quicker to just give the company that makes em a call and ask them.

Think this may be them, not sure tho. Matty or Mmaaxx should be able to help out if they see this.

really????? thats crap, they should be able to supply them to you no worries. Are the actual bars different or something thats why they said you need a new bar? you can proberbly mod the mounts yourself. send Matty or max a PM to see if what they said to was true.
