Hilux Arctic Truck

Hilux are the most popular arctic trucks ever made. It's easy to tune up and the toyota brand are very heavy duty in the meaning good quality.
Arctic trucks have very popular tire size in 35" inches common, then 38" and hardcore 44".
They lifting car about 40mm.

You can see in one of Topgear programs when they drive AT HILUX. This car looks like this and have freaking toilet on the back:

This is amazing 44" AT:

Pic from the tuning:

Anyway those cars are purely amazing!!

Adding Differential lock

Brand new Hilux wasn't equipped with differential lock. We need to put some new things and we gonna have awesome locks :)

When you buy universal locks you can put it by yourself. This time we gonna put lock in front and rear differential.

This was Toyota Land Cruiser HDJ 80, but for sure is the same with: Hilux, 4Runner czy FJ Cruiser. nissan patrol Suzuki Samurai and another pickups has the same build differential.

After unpacking our parts we gonna need drill 11,4mm and 1 inch screw tap.. Then I read a service bulletin of Toyota - it turned out that to set wheel alignment on bridges, I'll need a dial gauge. I added it to the list of blue thread and adhesive Teflon tape.

Also widely known that the lock assembly, replace the bearings with new - I bought a set of bearings, seals, washers and gaskets.

The second phase is the removal of the heads and cleaning bridges. Karcher invented bridges, especially in front of a lot of accumulated sludge, probably grease joints. On the photos you can see the end result - now you can eat them.

The next step is the installation - now I had to earn some extra special keys for tightening regulatory clearance between the plate and attack. Quick visit to a turner, welder, drill and special keys made​​.

Puncture bridge and tapered screw thread hole of the pressure output - On the photos you can see.

Editing basket satellites and adjusting backlash - here you need to involve the dial gauge and do it the hard to understand what the author was referring to the user. Adjusting the clearance is essential for the proper functioning of the differential - if someone does not feel able to do it yourself, you may want to hire a experienced mechanic.

At the end of the installation and connection of the compressor - pure pleasure. Kit includes pre-harnesses and pressure hoses.

No, tests, first cleaning - lock works amazingly!

After assembling the bridge and connect the compressor everything works fine!

It was worth who has ever used the lock bridge knows how he can be useful!

Hilux Tires

Hi! This entry gonna be about tires for your Hilux.
First of all you need to think about the few things:
- are you gonna ride in snow or sand or mud or just highway
- do you really want noisy tires
- width of your rims
- company of tires you gonna buy
- index of weight
- do you gonna jump?!
- how much you want to spend on tires.

Ok. When you answer that questions you are ready to buy some tires, but remember:
Mud tires don't gonna be silent and good for highway and vice versa! so watch out!!
You can see some tires that you may need:

Mud tires.

Highway.

 Highway.

Mud maybe sand :)

Chip mod Hilux 3.0 CRD

I founded a chip mod that suits to every Hilux from 2012 onwards with 3.0L diesel engine.

It's increasing torque from 343Nm to 412Nm!!

and the horse power:

171HP to 200HP!!!

++plus economy improvements, and reduced turbo lag.

Expected outcomes very depending on how you set it, to suit your individual driving needs.

How it works:

 Directly influencing injector pressure which modifies the pulse width and cycle duration - German engineered technology speaks to the ECU with ACTIVE software management actively adjusting air fuel ratio based on engine load & RPM through the regulation of fuel pressure in the common rail fuel injection system. Fuel rail pressures modified by the module NEVER exceed the factory specifications of the motor, simply they increase the pressure or decrease the pressure based on what you are doing with the vehicle at the time. The engine diagnostic circuit would produce a check engine light if there was ever any running conditions that were outside of the manufactures specifications. Simply, the module will never harm your motor.

·                  Increasing airflow to the engine - turbo charger boost pressure increases earlier in the rpm range in response to the increased fuelling, this increase in airflow combined with improved fuelling allows much more efficient running conditions for the motor allowing increased driveability and performance from your vehicle.

·                  A vehicle producing more power at lower rpm saves fuel. Fuel efficiency is the bi-product of an engine that has increased torque at lower rpm when driven accordingly.

You will see some modules connect up to the individual injectors, this system is just an unnecessary and complicated method of achieving exactly what our Diesel Power Modules do by piggybacking the fuel rail plug, just making installation time longer and messier.

But unfortunately it's not cheap mod- it cost from 300 Euro to 1200 Euro depends on manufacturer and model of car.

Dakar with Hilux 2

Just look at the pics from dakar, is that sweet? I just MUST HAVE THAT CAR!

Dakar with Hilux

6 of Hilux started Dakar Rally. Those cars are pure madness. 5 litres V8 gasoline engines!!

They have like 480HP!! This is why they fly on rally:

 They added some of safety pipes and deleted useless parts.
