LSD fitment to New Hilux

Postby diss7 » Tue May 20, 2008 7:19 pm

Hi all,

I'm wondering how easy/costly it is to put a lsd in a 2007 Hilux Workmate.
Its just the work-spec single cab ute, single spinner.

Looking at getting a new boat, and the ute almost gets stuck on a slippery ramp just pulling a jet ski out.

Even with the 2WD, will it be suitable? I pulled out my mates boat (similar size) on the w/e with his 4wd hilux, I kept it in 2wd though and it didn't slip at all.

AFAICT the boat will weigh 650kg + trailer....

Auto or manual?
Auto... just put your left foot on the brake lightly - just enough to stop the wheels spinning but not stop both turning at the normal speed.
Works great for me in the big fat falcon when im towing something on grass.

I used to think that the orange and green tictacs gave you special powers. The orange ones would make you stronger and the green ones would make you faster. So i used to eat some green ones and run around my lounge as fast as i could, then eat the orange ones and try to pick up the sofa. I wish it were true!
