OLD VS NEW Toyota Hilux Offroad CHALLENGE || who does it better?

Welcome back to another EP!, Today Jack and I head out to some of our local tracks close to home to put the two rigs to the test. Two completley different setups. 1 being a tough solid axle 80s leaf sprung hilux, built for a purpose of absolutely dominating off-road #2 being the new 2016 N80 2.8L diesel dual cab Toyota hilux built up for a purpose of touring and handling the bush when its needed.
I hope you all enjoy this episode and comment below what you think!

Gotta love the old girl with her solid axle setup and that flex. But you cant go wrong with the diff locks on the new lux either. They both did pretty well. I got a 2005 lux (2kD), and she's as solid as they come and reliable too. I guess you just cant go wrong with a Hilux given its history and reputation, that's for sure.

[@phantomwalker8251]

be carefull with it, there very prone to rolling. too narrow. you need big wheels. to offset the centre of grav,above axle weight. if they were 1 ft wider,they would be brilliant. the engine,,,if you can call it that,,needs upgrade to modern. when you can afford it,,buy an 80 series,or gu nissan,& never sell it..6 cyl tdi, is the go. not v6 or v8..

That 89 is sick

[@Abu7929]

Well done mate great video. I'v got a current lux and have had a few of those live axles. New lux is really a billy goat with lockers front and rear, plus the auto, loads more torque, and my suspension is stock. Love the hill descent control too works amazing. Old one's have a lot more flex, superior for crossing over deep ruts etc and much cheaper and easier to lift and put big tyres on for the major woop di doos. More point and shoot, the new ones picking a line is much more important. Then again they do fall apart a lot, worst steering design on planet etc. They are nice in theory and to romanticise them but reality is if you want a live axle get an 80 series or GQ.

[@Onemoreventure]

Thanks mate! I can't wait to put a front locker in the n80! I agree 80 series or gq is where its at even the old luxy is a beast! Thanks for the support 💪💪

[@phantomwalker8251]

damn you,,exact same i said. 80/100,or gu.. no computer. you want a 4x4. try find a 2000 ford s/duty,4.2tdi. low range is killer,,turns better than most toyotas,,79 series. &,with tdo6 turbo,more power. 12 lt 100.. in a 4t rig.. i fitted a disc 5.4 lt, rear diff,4.11,. lsd. tone ring. locker front,lunchbox. or detroit. no lines,no compressor.. i have 3 air tanks,for the tires. 3.5 minutes for 4 , 35,s. 3" lift,by me.. ford parts. 170 lt diesel, ford tanks,in cab type. 1 in tray.german motor,german g/box. IF,,it wasnt a work ute,,id cut the chassis to f100 swb specs..as did with my highboy f250 1975..if the lux was 8" to 1 ft wider.. would be killer 4x4..bit like a tacoma,with sas..

[@tutorjerry9436]

Greetings Onemoreventure: Great video! I also drive a Hilux (1989 4wh.manual 5 speed), here on Tinian island, Marianas, Micronesia. Most of the dirt here on our island is deep soft sand. Also, our secondary roads have crater size potholes. I need to up tire size to 33 or 35. But first I absolutely must down gear ratio. All of the videos I have seen so far call for replacing the ring gears in both front & rear diffs, not in the final drive of the transmission. Why is that? Is that better, or easier or cheaper?

[@Hillwatch]

Easier, typically. However, on my 92 rodeo, it’s about the same to get a lower gear kit for the transfer case. Definitely more difficult, but usually Rodeos have such a low gearing anyway in the diffs, the tcase is the last place to go.
