Offroad Modified Toyota Hilux - 4x4 Rig Walk-Around Review

- I have bought an offroad modified Toyota Hilux Vigo and I'm eager to do a quick walk-around review of this 4x4 and share my plans for the channel and everything with you.
Before we dive into all that, I discuss why I have chosen a pickup truck and a Toyota Hilux in particular - this model and this brand. It pretty much boils down to overlanding versus offroading - but more on that in the video.
Then we take a closer look into the vehicle, including the bullbar, winch, suspension lift, tires, and all the other offroad modifications.
Jump to a specific section of the video:

00:36 - Why The Change? Overlanding vs Offroading
02:29 - Why a Pickup Truck for Overlanding?
03:58 - Why a Toyota Hilux in Particular?
05:08 - Walk-Around Overview
06:00 - Bullbar, Winch, Lights, Bash Plates
06:40 - Suspension Lift & Tires
07:35 - Disc Brake Conversion & Rear
08:22 - Outro & Future Plans

Great looking 4x4. I certainly look forward to seeing your videos on your new adventures. 👍😎
I just bought a N70 Hilux as well. Look forward to more videos.
I have been a bit slow with the new content lately but will catch up soon :)
Честито, хубава джипка. С много потенциал.
И с доста варианти за ъпгрейди. Багажника си е бяло платно :)
New car - new adventures! Go ahead!
Will do!
Looks great
Thanks!
Very nice truck
It sure is! Thanks 👌
@@The4x4Lab hope youre seriously enjoying it
Nice one. Congrats. Looking forward to follow you on this rig :-)
Thanks for sticking around for Season 2 :)
This is awesome!!!!
Thanks mate!
Честито! Жив и здрав и много безаварийни километри!
Мерси, да ти се връща! :)
Yep If I cant save my Landcruiser from rust I will try and get exactly this hilux. gonna mod it for overlanding. Winch, snorch, bumper, lights, shocks, springs, rubber.
Wouldn't you prefer a new Landcruiser to replace the old one? 🤔
@@The4x4Lab Yeah, but the price range is bit too wild for me. Even this old 100 from year 1999 cost me arm and a leg, sort to say. If I buy newer, lets say 2011 year it will cost me more than hilux and it will stay more expensive to maintain. + Hilux has the truckbed xD. LC100 is glorious car tho - I love it. I have all the gear on it. SIGH. it will be terrible loss. (Rotten frame and silentblocks on the body - bad purchase)
@@DanielTejnicky I was also considering a LC but couldn't justify the expense and ended with a Hilux :)
@@The4x4Lab IKR. Landcruisers are PITA to maintain - complex vehicles and the parts are expensive - while Hilux(es) are suppose to be the "work truck for the people" Bit simpler, while still relayable and rugged. Time will tell. Best of luck with your overlanding rig. Maybe I will visit Romania one day, with mine - I heard great things about the landscape and overlanding trails there!
Честито, с Toyota Hiliux не може да сбъркаш !
Дано, така съм чувал ама времето ще покаже. Мерси!
Awesome rig! Really looking forward for the upcoming upgrades. 🙌🏽
Are there any rules / restrictions you need to follow when building a 4x4 in Bulgaria? Is there any technical institution / agency which needs to sign off the technical modifications in order for you to drive the car legaly on the road? In Germany for example I believe it's a nightmare to get permission to mount such a front pumper and get it signed off by TÜV (Germany's institution which declare cars as "roadsafe") in order to drive it legally on public roads.
There is another ARB steel front bumper that looks very similar and actually has a TUV certificate. Not sure what the name of the model was but you can ask the local dealer. :)
To answer your question - no, there is no institution here that can sign off the mods. That's unfortunate because that legal gray area makes it easy for cops to ask for bribes if they are not in the mood. Because your vehicle is not illegal but it also isn't officially legal... I would prefer to know my rights and stay within the law. Not possible in Eastern Europe... Europe in general is not good for Offroad - it's either illegal or not clear, depending on the country.
I did 1500km (Denmark - Switzerland and return And some exploring) each way in the summer in my New Jimny :P Didnt have any issues with getting tired :)
But how many days did it took? 😄 I assume you didn't cover many kilometers per day..?
Are you going to change the tires or improve more the suspension.
Good choice for puck-up truck 👌
Are you referring to mud terrain tires instead of the current all-terrain ones?
I definitely think AT is better for long expeditions. 😉
Здравей,може ли да ми кажеш къде сменят барабани с дискове?
В Гладиатора - Пловдив са ги сменяли. Но да знаеш, че ръчната не ми харесва сега.
Благодаря
Its almost a tradition that jimny drivers upgrade to hilux
I know that RoamOverlanding did the same thing :) But I assume you refer to others as well..?
Честито! Машината е хубава. Но си мисля, че 4Runner или LandCruiser 120 ще са по-удобни за дълъг път. Пикапът е товарен кон. Отзад е на ресьори и празен вози твърдо. Освен това е по-дълъг.
Да, прав си, когато е празен както сега е каруца отзад, но това скоро ще се промени. Планирам да има доста килограми постоянно оборудване - в следващите видеа 🙂
