Fresh Start

Postby mrdan on Mon, 07 May 2018 11:15 +0000

Hey,
I have a 2011 SR 3.0L, manual, dual cab and I'm wanting to do plan some basic upgrades to go off track a bit.

I.e Rims, tyres, suspension, lift-kit, other parts?
Was thinking ROH Blak Trak2 16" with Cooper tyres.
The other parts I'm not sure on.

Any dos/do nots are appreciated.

Plenty of info and options here mate - do a search on tyres, chips, suspension kits etc. Much comes down to personal preference and cost.

My $0.02 is to avoid chips at all costs or prepare for costs. Never listen to how safe the seller says the chip is lol

Keep it legal - a 2in lift (Dobinsons, Ultimate etc) will get you a long way on 31in tyres. Diff locks will get you far far further.

Those rims are fine. Check to see if the 16in rims will go over your front brakes (I cant remember if your model has larger brakes). 17in rims are good as well and there are probably more tyres to choose from these days. 17in also gives you the option or running Prado 120 front brakes - an extremely worth while upgrade.
I might be wrong.

2005 SR Hilux 1KD - SOLD
2009 BMW X5 - destroyed by a hail storm
2012 Range Rover Sport SDV6 - SOLD
2015 Ford Ranger
