Modifying Our NASTY 4x4 Toyota HiLux

We recently picked up the cheapest Toyota HiLux 4x4 ute we could find. The more we look - the worse it gets! It's a filthy nugget so in this episode we're going to get it looking MAD and add some mods.

Hey MCM, can I suggest you guys rebuild the gearbox for an episode in the future, there not hard to strip down, throw a set of bearing and synchros at it, and replace any gears and shafts with chunks missing. Not terribly hard, but very a satisfying job, that I'm sure your viewer base would really get a kick out of.

[@s4n714g000]

I always assumed gearboxes were so complicated you needed an engineer or withcraft to rebuild them, but I've seen some people work on them and it doesn't look overly complicated, maybe I'm wrong though. I'd really be interested in seeing them rebuild it

[@unrealarsepeel8376]

Yep I'd love to see a manual gearbox rebuild. It's so applicable.

[@glenn9k]

MAKE THIS THE TOP COMMENT

[@juniorfuller6829]

Yeah I don't think they're are to complex however my dad and I went to rebuild a gearbox from one of theses hilux's and it felt like it wasn't engaging 5th gear but it had sheared the splines off the the shafts. And the price difference between new shafts and a new gearbox was better to go whole new gear box

[@camerontaylor4586]

Life Pro Tip: When going on a mine site, this model Hilux, the air con vents are very easy to pop out to hide your smokes for a non smoking mine. We sent our same model Hilux's pback to Toyota with over 600,000km on the clock- most had at least 3 clutch kits through them, numerous timing belts, chassis was pretty well bemt after 8 years of towing 2 ton+ mud tanks, they smelt like arse after 5 guys farting/ smelling like hydraulic oil/ drilling fluids, gearbox's that whined more than Cheryl about her bestie shagging her brother, and an interior that was permanetly stained blacked.

Having had both a standard Hilux and a rugged X as a work car, I still can't understand the justification for the difference in price compared to the cheaper end of the scale when it comes to 4x4 utes (excluding the Chinese market of course). although the worst offenders are definitely the Aussie utes as much as I like them. Like 20 grand for a 15 year old falcon with 200,000 on the clock, that's just insane...
