hey i was wondering where you got your bed? because i just bought a 83' Hilux long bed and the beds all rusted out so im makeing or buying a new one not sure yet.
I've said it here before, but I LOVE THIS LUX!!!!! Bit confussed though mate, WHY with all the awesome trucks you can have outside of N.America (like ones with Diesel engines) would you import an American Toy Mini-Truck (what we call the Hillux here??? Seesm that you could have had a far better pick of the litter in the UK then from our very limited variety here in the States. Hell you could get an SFA 3rd gen Hillux from South Africa and it'd have the steering wheel on the right... Just a Q
When we're done 4wheelin we go home and drink tea, prune our garden hedges, listen to cricket on BBC radio 4 and shit like that. Then we go out 4 wheelin again.
impressive driving mate. i love the look of the short wheel base, didnt know they existed! imported ey, are they any different from the UK and Aus ones other than bieng short? (im assuming Aus and UK are the same) what tyres are you running? haha you crushed a rock at the start with your front diff, that is a testiment to the toughness of the old solid front axle!
Thanks for the comment. The short bed wheelbase is 102" vs 112" of the long bed. I think they were only sold in the US, not sure why. At that time, UK trucks only came with 2.2petrols or 2.4 diesels. The 22R engine in this truck has far more tuning parts available. The tyres are a British made re-mould 'super swamper' style pattern.
@anzactuck Ah man this is funny reading! Here in Canada we import the 4 door's and diesels cause everyone wants them here haha! I got a 1990 single cab short box Yota, 22re, 5 speed on 32" BFG's. Gonna be doing a SAS pretty soon and putting in 4.88 gears on 33's, should be pretty sweet when it's done.
It was a cracking site between Haydock and Earlstown, but sadly its nearly all been levelled and getting turned into a 'community nature park' (somewhere for people to take their dogs for a turd)
Man I LOVE your HILUX mate. I've got a 1ST gen 4Runner (Same front clip but with a Fully body behind) and I can only imagine it looking like this beast. Such a Sick truck eh. NOTHING BEATS A TOYOTA!
WE only had them in oz from '79 to (i think) '81 Mine is being built from an Aussie 4runner as they are the same wheelbase, will definately post some vid's for all to see
Thanks! Its a 1983 Toyota RN60 shortbed pick-up from Florida. 102"wheelbase.
Toyota 22R 4cyl petrol,Downey cam,headers,weber,K&N,2.5" expipe etc.
ARB lockers F+R, 4.11 diffs. 32"Dirt devil tyres. Full RAC spec roll-cage, seats and 5pt harnesses. Warn 9000 winch on quick-release front or rear mount. Home-made snorkel.
Old Man Emu +2" springs, +2" shackles, OME urethane bushes, Downey long reach torque arm on front axle, ProComp 15" travel shocks. No anti-roll bar. Built by myself.
My next mods are changing the r&p and going to 35" Simexs. Heavy duty Birfields. Marlin twin transfer conv. Changing to 4Runner coil springs(rear)and coil-overs front.
Guess I'd better get some overtime in first through :(
Cheers pal. This sites a legacy of the north west coal mining industry. The rain creates these awesome washouts but the ground drys like concrete in the sun. Its the nearest thing ive found to 'slickrock' in the UK. Its like Moab with grass! lol. There some huge, very steep hills too. Local council keep threatening to turn it into another 'nature reserve' :(
the weight thing is one of the best things I did I'm down to 960kg. with a 2.4td and 2.5" straight through exhaust. Detroit Lockers mechanical LSD handle the rear. Made high speed offroad handling more stable.
understand the power with the 22r its a top engine.
