  • A Brazilian tries to build an 80!

    IH8MUD · 250below10 · 3 Nov 2026

    Alright, I think it is time to start a build thread! I'm a noob and did not grow up working on cars. Everything I learned was either here on Mud or back in Tacomaworld, with some Youtube University in between. I first got into Toyotas 4x4 seeing some modded Hilux driving around town where I grew up and thought it would be cool to own one eventually. In 2015 I got my first job in the US and almost immediately my '01 Escape blew a HG, I thought it would be a good time to go find that Toyota... Read more

  • Proud Hilux LN112 owner in the states, looking for 3L parts and improvements

    IH8MUD · BigNJpn · 22 Oct 2026

    Recently sold my HiAce for this beaut of a JDM RHD Hilux. The importer is a good friend and they gave the old girl a thorough maintenance sweep. I'm used to using northwesttoys for my Diesel needs, but hoped you wizards might have some advice on keeping her running smooth and improving performance. My model specific search hasn't led to a lot so I'm hoping folks can recommend some adjacent model numbers that have similar parts or options. Thanks on advance; glad to be here!

I won't lie, the first time I sit in it, started that engine, a unexpected reflex smile was on my... Read more

  • Migaloo the white Turbo 80

    IH8MUD · frankenyota · 5 Oct 2026

    After owning a gen1 Hilux for 15 years l was looking for a comfortable touring vehicle I could go camping and do some beach work and Fraser Island fishing trips. So in 2018 the search began for a new rig. The choices were an 80 series or 100 series wagon with solid front axle. A white 80 series with a blown head gasket came up and looked good with no rust. So l bought the 80 series petrol manual for 3 grand thinking a cylinder head job would sort it out. The plan from day one was to run a... Read more
