Bloody great video mate. Awesome work with the ute and thanks heaps for all of the info! Do you think the tundra rear leafs would still work nicely without being in a press?
I still think longer leaves are a must for these hiluxs, the factory leaves are incredibly short. With longer leaves you get a better ride and can still run retainers to reduce axle wrap and still get great wheel travel
Hey mate any chance you could do a more in-depth video of the set up with the longer rear leafs? Just how hard it was to love them forward or any complications you had
Was really straight forward, just cut the front mounts off and worked out shackle angle and where I wanted the diff positioned and welded the front mounts in. The rear mounts stayed factory
I have a 95 version of this with 505000km on it so still being run in :-). It is stock standard 2.8 diesel. While there are models of these that came with turbo's unless you have one of these models I would suggest avoiding a turbo as these engines were not originally designed for one so you risk compromising the reliability or longevity of an engine that is known as being bullet proof. While all these modifications may be nice, most are illegal here in Australia and need to be engineered at great expense or risk of being pink stickered and vehicle being put off the road. Mine ran like a slug when I bought it and the first oil change I did, the oil came out the sump like snot. I think anything but a hilux would have died.I ran some Nulon pro strength diesel heavy duty engine treatment through it twice with new oil filters. I have been using Nulon Diesel Guard ( currently only available from Super cheap auto) with every fill of diesel and after getting a 2" lift had to take it in to get the front leafs reset as they were not right, one of the guys said... it goes really well, I thought it was turbo'd. Perhaps this is testament to the Nulon products but I am posting this so others may know what works.One of the worst things you can do with a diesel is not drive them properly as they carbon up. I regularly wind mine out a bit, and 4000rpm is not off the cards and more to clean the engine out as it has not been run properly as it should. As far as Aluminium radiators. They are light and have great conductivity but you need to be careful of the amount of cores for correct cooling. Aluminium does not like vibration and work hardens so would suggest rubber mounts or something to stop vibration being transferred to the radiator or risk stress fractures occurring. I also looked at an aluminium radiator but after working with aluminium for many years managed to get a copper core at a good price so bought one of those instead. Admittedly paid more for it but I intend keeping the vehicle for many more years as they are so reliable. I can suggest doing a radiator flush and checking your viscous fan and thermostat are working properly if you have over heating problems.
Have to plate the chassis both sides and drill holes for it to mount, also weld in crush tubes so the mounting bolts can be tightened without the chassis crushing in.
About what lift did the ifs rears sit at with the long shackles looking for 2inch in mine but not sure if I’ll need lifted springs or stock ifs rear leafs
Hi Guys i need your help i have a pony hilux 1996 and on clock it has done 460000 ks and according to previous owner engine was rebuilt around 350000 ks now i want to get turbo my beast, any suggestions what turbo or turbo with intercooler i should go with? Also is there any risk as i have heard many stories about engine failure. Thanks in advance. Best regards
Would recommend anyone watching this do your own research. Guess work is not the way to go. This is not how you install RUF or longer rear leaf springs in a hilux.
Cheers for the input Rob, I’m sure there’s many people who can do a better job then I can and refine it further. It’s been great for me and I’ve enjoyed building it up as well as seeing how far I can go with it off-road. Appreciate you watching mate 🤘🏻
Super helpful and easy to watch mate, thanks for making the effort.
Thanks a lot! Really appreciate it!
Good to see a good video on an ln106 not very many around like this
Thanks man, appreciate it 🤘🏻
Love the build!!🤙
Cheers man! And it’s not finished yet 😉
This car looks so clean nice work
Now that’s a wheel lift
That was the first time I took it 4wding! Was one hell of a shakedown.
Love the car man! Gave me some ideas for things to do to my dual cab 🤙🏼

@@HaydnKamp thanks heaps for the advice man. Love the ute man, such a bloody weapon
Basically LOOOONG soft leaves and LOOONG shackles with shocks ect that dont restrict the rest of the setup
To put it simply yes. Make everything longer or wider 😅
Nice ute mate
Absolute Animal.. did you do anything to the brakes like 80 series brake booster and etc?
80 series booster and braided lines. Seems to stop pretty good now
Hey mate, did you upgrade your clutch due to the turbo?
Yeah just an exedy HD, seems good so far

these motors love boost...
Does Ln106 come in 1990 or 1994, I have searched In Many webs it result is 1990 year.
Can You give me some info about that
When you did your hi steer did you put in an ifs box from a later model hilux?
Yeah sure did
What model lux u get rear diff from n What size hub spacers u get also What offset wheels u running...looking absolutely mint mate
Rear diff is from a n60 with the tortion bar front end, hub spacers only come in one size to suit ifs hubs off a n60. -22 rims. Cheers man 🤘🏻
I put ef falcon springs in the rear they seem pretty good super long lol
Could be a good option, aren't they 10mm wider then Toyota?
What headlight upgrade have you done to the old girl ? Look better than my candles.
'Raybrig' from ebay, they have a nice blue tint to them. Super happy with them
I will never open up leave clamps for flex , these cost me several springs because of more axel twist on my Samurai.
Yeah of course, those leaves are incredibly short and see some crazy angles
how many kms does the beast have?
380,000 man
Makes me want to buy one my girlfriends grandparents have one
They are a great Ute 👍🏼
How did you get your pitman arm on so good mine the nuts not even flush with end thread
Just a bit of anti seize on the splines and do the nut up FT. Make sure the splines are very clean
@Haydn Kamp what would be a good price to pay for a ln106 with 350k's? Cheers, super clean rig you have
Hard to say man, depends on how much work has been done to it. I think I paid 8k for this one and $1,000 for my first ln 😅
Thanks, appreciate it!
Current market for second hand 4x4’s is flooded with over priced utes. Wouldn’t be surprised if he was asking 15k for it
do you need to do anything to mount the bigger shocks
Yeah front needs shock towers and rear needs relocated mounts
Wat front drive shaft are you running bro
Modified stock shaft with a longer slip
How does the auto lokka go in the rear. Looking to get one myself.
Cheers
Unreal off-road, I love how simple they are. Not sure if I’d like to daily with the rear however.
It was hard to hear you at times.
Anyway wanting to ask what steering box you put in etc
Used a steering box from a n60 4wd hilux
@@HaydnKamp did it go straight in?
Have to plate the chassis both sides and drill holes for it to mount, also weld in crush tubes so the mounting bolts can be tightened without the chassis crushing in.
About what lift did the ifs rears sit at with the long shackles looking for 2inch in mine but not sure if I’ll need lifted springs or stock ifs rear leafs
Was around 3 inch lift, I did play with the leaves to get it the height I needed
Thanks for your help
Where did you get your exhaust from
It came with the Ute

Td04 or holset both seem like good options. Stay away from ct20 would be my opinion 👍🏼
@@HaydnKamp thank you so much champ 👍🏾 what about 35” MT tires would it be any helpful. Thanks
What sorta EGTs are you getting?
All of them! It gets to 650° if I’m feeding it the berries, my sensor is in the manifold behind cylinder 4
Are they standard height tundra leafs or lift leafs
2inch lift, 0-300kg constants. I've reset the top leaf and removed two lower load leaves however.

what size tires?\
33x12.5x15
@@HaydnKamp ok I got the same with 2 inch lift they scrubb on the front on full lock when I flex any suggestions?
@@tomdbomb2252 gotta push the diff forward. Either by ruf or relocation plates
@@HaydnKamp link for products?
@@tomdbomb2252superior and snake racing do the relocation plates. Wreckers should be able to find you the springs or just go new
