I hate the most leaf springs, especially in the front, they sag and crack. Other than that steering box seals. Also front shocks are too short from factory, there's a lot more travel in the leafs adding to horrific ride second only to Suzuki Samurai.

Hi where can I order parts for a 1991 hulix LN106 ?

Had my Toyota hilux for 27 years two wheel drive I kid you not it’s never broken down and the most I have spent on it is the exhaust and tyres slight oil leak now but nothing to worry about . Awesome van

How much miles per gallon you make with it

Theres a little bit of miss information in here and from owning one and tinkering with one for a while now and being in a group with a few of them there some easy ways around these stock type issues.

I just bought a pristine 1993 ln106r. Thank you for this video, I didn’t know about things like the steering box. Thanks heaps

Hi Liam, this is Peter from Gumridge. You're welcome to contact me and I'll organise for you to camp at the main area with the view. You must have been here on one of the three really busy weekends of the year.

Awesome review! I love these trucks and if you keep up with maintenance they’re amazing trucks. Also in New Zealand parts are pretty cheap as there’s quite a few considering how old they are now

We have had a very similar experience you and i. Got a 1991 ln106r and I've replaced everything except the engine. Thank christ for ebay

Hey. What are the biggest tires that i can fit in a 1994 LN106 without cutting anything?

Is ln65 rear axle came with lsd?

Legend mate. Was a 5 minute fix instead of a two hour replacement and 75 in parts. I had to put a washer in a well.

Bloody legend mate , my 1999 lux just started doing this. Square head screw did the job. Probably not the safest but good for now👌

Hey mate just curious about why you swapped the sump? Cheers.

Only con is its like 36kw to the wheels

To me one of these is funner than owning a Ferrari 😂

All just maintenance over time if you buy new one your spending money on them from day one and there far to much electronics bs on them now that are a headache when they start playing up services every 15000ks anywhere from $800 to $1500 + after 100,000ks the big bill hits you that can cost you thousands. But most new vehicles after a 100,000ks the motor is done as there just not built to last. There use way more fuel and the listed goes on.

Ok now im a fan.. ❤

Thanks, mate! I just came across to your video. I am lived in NZ and AU but I am Brazilian and I am just now looking to buy japanese Hilux from 90s over here. With front solid axles are very rare here. Your video certainly helped me to understand better what to expect and what to do as soon as I find my Hilux here. Thank you!

👍👏👏🇧🇷💯

Legend !

what site was that at?

Do an under the hood and body and mayby service on the hilux one ,that would be good

Agree with all you said. Have a 96 version. Also recently replaced front calipers, made a big difference. No steering box, however replaced the pitman arm. I've owned it since new and love it. Son had 31in tyres on it, I went back down a size when I got it back. Made a huge difference going up hills and braking.

What a Lord. Mine are stuck on this arvo. 2000 hilux Thanks mate for the tips

You're too short for the Hilux - looks like you can barely see over the dash! Trade in for a Corolla perhaps?😅

They should use B code engine with timming gear rather than L engine with timming belt

I have a prado 120 on lpg v6 .250ks just diagnosed with blown gasket .how much for new gasket ?? Or use it around town on a blown head gasket ?

This was super handy. I’m driving my boss’s 2011 Mercedes Vito but looking to buy a vehicle of my own. The Vito has had the power steering pump die, the fan doesn’t work - neither does the AC and I’ve replaced both brake and headlights in the 4 months I’ve been driving it. I think an old hilux sounds like a great upgrade haha!

excelente video

I really like hilux from my childhood

Do a vid on the ln65

All changed now mate no sites along the front for white fellas now northern end for indigenous people camping only new sites out the back and are crap site numbers are different but the best sites are now 41/42/43

Good to see someone put the helpful information about what was needed

When I was poor af I ran my 2.8 without oil for about a month daily driving it she's still good

Love this review, thats the best one!, want to buy one for a long time

Make sure you have 3l. on Toyota Hilux truck.

bought my first 106, its three years younger than me.. with 3L i kinda love it.. and obviously, the biggest pro is, its TOYOTA :D love from Pakistan

Only problem I have with my ‘91’ 106 is rust such a pain

i have a 2001 ln167 with a 5l great engines only problem was starter leades came lose

I've used my 1997 ln106 for 23yrs everyday . Parts are cheap and easy to fit . It's had a hard work life but I service it every 5000kms. Has never broken down.

Where can I find a canopy for a hilux?? Yours look sick mate!

Can a 2L be swapped for a 3L or 5L?

Nice work, but an downgrade. The 3L engine is better.

? so all the listed parts are from the 3L then bolted to the 5L

Did hammering the seal in damage it?

Love this video keep up the great work. Would you ever think of drop shackles or don't want the head acke

I have a 1996 LN106.. Yes, you have to change a lot of things because these pickups are nearly 30 years old. I already replaced the starter, alternator, ps pump, steering box.. I'm still fixing things, but I still love my Hilux.

Liam, your sense of humor is great. I agree with you on everything. I have a 1988 LN106 and am considering adding a turbo for a little more power. Barrima Diesel for example in Australia has been safely adding turbos to these engines for 30 years. I hear as long as the boost is kept to about 10psi and the fuel is kept lean, it is safe to do. What is your opinion on this? Would you consider adding a turbo?

Hi Liam, could you please tell me the length of the box on the LN106.
