defenitly need a better camera doing a body drop is easy , remove the three aluminum body post, rear bumper, and the white spacers under your radio tray . Reinstall your radio tray ,test fit the body and you'll notice that the motor hits the center windshield mount your going to have to use a dremel to remove part it for clearence. Next you mount the body using the four screws on the side of the radio tray (2 on each side) and viola 1/2" body drop.

A cheap but very effecive mod is a tummy tuck (trans lift). I saw it done by 4runn1 on scale4x4. You move the tranny up 1/2". I'll post the link later.

nice hilux man keep up the good work

4runn1 yours is a beast also.

This is about where ill be at in a week or so. ive been ordering the stuff up for my hilux build. the body drop info is great and id love to see the info about the trans lift! or any other info that would help guys like us that are just starting to get into the sport and the hilux hi-lift is their first kit.

i thought i read read on here that the hilux kit comes with 4-link mounts? maybe i misunderstood someone thoe. does anyone have into on this? or a link to the prodecure?

ive looked but cannot find it. STILL looking thoe!
