Hilux Preperations

Got a 92 dual cab diesel with the live axle and its done 450000. I bought the car with 70000 on the clock, do the math, it's as he said how long is a piece of string. Budget for replacing them on the trip and you wont be surprised by anything. you may come back and find that they are just as you left.

I have a '97model 3l diesel that runs 31" tyres (10.5X15), both front and rear right bearings have been replaced when inspection at service indicated they were on their way out (one at 110,000 and the other at 120,000), cost around $60 each, so cheap insurance really. I must say that the 'lux spends most of it's travel time in the bush so it gets a bit of a pounding, and I gather from the mechanic that the bigger tyres don't help with bearing wear. If it were me I would have them inspected at least, might save a long walk home!!

Cheers
