What about the larger tranny behind the 4.2L petrol engine (TB42), would it be a better choice if it will fit or should I just use the r series toyota box? Cheers James

I will be using the gearbox with comes behing the small diesel (2.8L) and the RB30 petrol engine as it is a smaller box but should hold up to the 1uz. I will see I can find out what the code is for them Cheers James

This all started out cause I was going to put coils under a hilux, 80 series axels was a good option as they are wider and stronger than the hilux. After speaking with the engineer (one of the best in NSW IMO) it is actually easier to jump through all the hoops using the full 80 chassis and...

G'day I have been lurking here for a while planning my next build and have a few questions but first I will give you an idea of what I am planning. My critera for this build where to be a Hilux dual cab :D, be great off road, and be comfortable enough to take the misses and kidlet on weekend...
