1. Difference is You will feel a bit more Macho Maybe a little more noise, but not much other difference. Geolander is a popular AT tyre, much like Bridgestone's Dueler AT.

2. Better to match your new set, just get some second hand ones will do. Your previous Overall Wheel Diameter is around 29 inches while your new ones are around 30.5inches. One thing for sure, speedometer will be 'off'. Check with a GPS on board and you should be able to gauge your actual speed against your speedo.

3. No need take note la, just drive. Minimal change in size so I don't think tyre will scrape mud guard (assuming your rim offset is not too drastic la).

Happy driving

I went and talk to the 4x4 dealer he told me even though i want to change the spare tire to 16 inch also cant, bcos the bottom part of the hilux cant fit the 16 inch spare tire unless i want to put it in the trunk.
I had to cut the front tire mud guard if not it will scrape the mudguard. Also had to do some rebalancing and add wheel ring as my steering wheel had some vibrations when car drive around 100km/h

halo..all
first time user for hilux 2.5 vnt , horse power is enough for normal use , but handling is quite suck . is it ori rim is too small ?

btw ,any ppl want let go sport bar ?

Im thinking about to change my suspension, which 1 is better. Bilstein or pedders.I want a comfy ride and less bumpy on a uneven road. Any suggestion? or other brand. Btw, i already install schakle, cant feel any different on bumpy

Bilstein so far is the well known brand

Which model and how much is it bro?

Be careful with double shackles, can b dangerous when off-roading, especially on downhills if it unloads.

Nearly lose my 3 weeks old hilux near kota damansara. Thief cut both my horn wire and cut the font left side tire upper cover and unplug my signal bulb. No ideal why they unplug my signal bulb, my fren said they maybe want to cut my battery wire from there to avoid alrm. Please becareful when parking your hilux.

1. Cut Horn is to disable Horn from sounding, in case you have alarm attached to it.

2. Upper Left Side tyre (mudguard) is to pierce thru the cobra alarm box located just above it. If you open your bonnet, you will see a steel box there, that's where the alarm system resides. In older Altis, the box is located near the fuel tank cover, so to destroy the alarm, they just have to drill thru it. One small hole only, and the alarm is a goner.

3. Signal light is an old method. They pull it out because it's the easiest to pry, and then short circuit the electrical system thru the signal connection.

Well, at least your truck not stolen.

Is it possible to put angel eye led into the old model vigo headlights? Not switch whole headlights but just adding this thing.

Got my 2nd Hilux last Friday..My 1st Hilux that has been stolen still under investigation by MSIG but due to work, cannot wait...

Locktech done...thinking of BlackJax as well...this time around should be more careful...leason learned

Hello there. Hi all. Got my 1st ever Hilux last Wednesday. Feel very happy. When i first drove the car from the shop, i feel very different. Not harsh as usual like using company Hilux. What should i do to my new Hilux? Any tips and trick or gadget and accessories that i can install on my Hilux? Hilux 2.5 G VNT Inter cooler (MT) here from Sarawak. Nice to meet you all.

Hi,

Welcome to the club! To answer your question, you could start by reading the first 8 pages (only) of this thread and you will get a fair idea what we discuss here. Also, you can access the '4x4 Pickup Truck Club' thread, but that's 80+ pages and counting.

When I first looked around, I couldn't find many mod options for the lux, compared to standard sedans because there are more generic sedan accessories. But, if you keep looking, your wallet will have a big hole before you know it, so be patient when shopping....

My personal advice, put in security measures first before anything else. As you can already see, this truck is a thief magnet. Other stuff, can slowly add...

Happy hiluxing.

Hehe i know that, that's why i ask. Should i put GPS on my Lux? Spare tire lock? Steering lock? Pedal lock? I don't know the name of these specific item. Pleas help

too bad u r from sarawak

but those around klang or kl can drop by our place, clearing stock for pedal lock double lock plus y socket rm 310 only

we dun rekomen use locktech ( will explain why at our place )

and yea, those who like our new fb page knw

currently we are offering one gps tracking system for only rm 899 and only requires to tap 3 wires

Sarawak dun sell those thing? Any recommended 4x4 accessories shop in Sarawak? Got GPS system? Spare tyre clamp lock? Anything?

!st thing when i got my hilux was to install alarm system, gps and bonnet lock. the rest like mods all come later. I think in Sarawak u better get spare tire lock and also solder ur back bumper as i heard ppl stealing it.

Do i need pedal lock also? Locktech is fine? Any other brand? Can i install Garmin GPS?

I didnt install pedal lock. I installed bonnet lock instead. Its up to you which one u want to install, the important thing is to install AT LEAST ONE of them haha

U west Malaysian? How much for bonnet lock?
