Hi,

I've changed all the following parts as you mentioned.
The juddering is still there when reach certain speed like 70~80km/h. Tires are brand new too.
Wonder if it's the engine or gearbox mounting causing the problem?

Their "tuner" club only have few heavily modded pickups, few heavily modded exterior looks.

It's more like a name than it's actual meaning.

3.0 VNT comes with the scoop. While the 2.5 don't have I/C unless a aftermarket ones if fitted.

am_eniey, do you guys happen to take the route from Banting to Sepang? I used to spotted alot of pickup truck coming out from a kampung route when going off through short cut. That was hell alot of Hilux. Led by JPJ's Forturner some more..

Bridgestone Dueler... hmm..

Depends on which spec of Dueler are you getting. But their HT sucks to the max. The tyre is quite solid and keras in form. But when performing in wet is totally b****. Wheelspin easily on wet roads even on auto tranny.

nice off roading pics

Helping to spread this news on behalf of my close friend.

To any Hilux 2.5 owner, a friend of mine intend to swap all his aftermarket mods as below with your (stock Hilux 2.5), all for RMxK + your stock parts (must be in good and working condition).

- Garrett Ball-bearing Turbocharger GT2860RS

- Turbosmart Wastegate 38mm (GENUINE)

- Turbosmart Boostee manual boost controller (GENUINE)

- Custom ceramic coated headers matched to a complete custom made 3" s/steel exhaust pipe output via an genuine Original R34 Skyline Muffler w/ genuine R34 exhaust tip

- Delta Fin 570cfm Intercooler + Silicone hose + s/steel piping + clamps

- Cusco ATF Oil cooler (GENUINE)

- Cusco Oil Catch Tank (GENUINE)

- No electronics / piggyback / controller included.

- ALL Plug & Play parts -> Direct mod to your Lux 2.5G stock;

All the owner asking is all your stock turbo/stock header/stock/everything as above to "transplant".
Owner have spent close to RM25-30k on aftermarket parts, asking for less than 10k.

Reason to demod : selling off his Hilux.

Paired with a proper management system can get your Hilux go over REAL 250horse+ easily.

PM me for more details, please don't waste our time if you intend to ask-for-shiok.

Dont think so. If it cost that high, their market share in Thai will drop all the way down to drain. Hilux/Vigo is very very close to them already.

Cool and stable. But defeat the purpose of owning 4x4.

Getting stuck in mud, going through uneven road with holes are going to have big time.

Ok. since you don't do offroad, no daily drive.

Navara has biggest rear leg room, but also have very straight rear seat. but can modify the seat bracket lah.

Less bumpy? Triton....

Fuel saving? Dmax

Resale value? Hilux

Power? Navara.

But then when it comes to reliability................... you know lah.

I doubt so. Reliability should be Isuzu DMAX.

Navara also delay bro.

Common problem? Got..

Not enough powerful.

Sudah sampai ka?

VGT spools faster & responsive. But they don't lasts if you start playing with higher boost.

Ranger CRDi or the normal XLT?

below 3k!???? should be nothing more than 2k rpm on a diesel to achieve that.

I don't own 1 either. A diesel cruising above 3k rpm won't give you good FC. But then, it's all the gear ratio do the talking.
