Hi everyone, I'm from Haiti where you would be surprised how much the mighty Hilux is popular. My brother in law has one black and he help me put my hands on one since it may take order a truck. the local dealer basically does not carry a stock, and if he did they might not last on his lot anyway, lol!
So I got a 2008 SR5 dual cab, D-4d 3.0 TD, I love it and so far all I did to it is change the air filter for a K&N unit (great by the way) and put on some Pirrelis Scorpions 31x10.5x15. It is difficult to find good aftermarket parts, since the Hilux is not sold in the US everything must come from Australia, New Zeland, Asia or Europe and it take for ever.
I've been trying to find the cross referenced part in the US but it is not easy.
My next project is to find a good set of shocks and maybe springs. The roads here are in bad shape lots of pot holes (sometimes craters!lol) I live high in the mountains (1,500m altitude change from Home to work) so my brakes are taking a beating, and i am looking to upgrade them as well.
We have an OME dealer that just opened and he will be carrying DBA products as well. So I will be checking OME and DBA parts first. Any advise will be greatly appreciated...
Happy trails to you all.
