OK well to try and answer a question. Toytec lifts are pretty common on here. Many people run them with no issues. Which lift system did you get?
Now your post is slightly hard to understand. But you should have no issues with your drive shaft or your brakes. Some people extend the brake lines, but depending on how high it is going it may not be an issue.

Its a hilux surf? Or someone has just tossed the badges from a Hilux Surf on it.

A Hilux Surf is the overseas version of our American 4Runner, and has many more cool options, including a turbo diesel option. Options we didn't get here in America

alright I just got the 3 inch lift I was thinking that it would be fine to put in! and I dont know if it is the hulix or not, im going to carfax the vin and see if it is

Godzilla

Im guessing it is not a hilux (not hulix) due to it being LHD. Im thinking the previous owner did the "hilux-surf-emblem mod"
ha

k well i signed up for carfax but its not letting me use my credit card also is it just the mod? because its got the SURF big like 4"by7" sticker under the very back windows.

Godzilla

Anything is possible, but they are pretty rare there. So a sticker and emblem seem more of a reasonable choice. Anything else that seems odd? i.e. instr panel, or even check the door tag

its not a surf, it would have to be imported to be a surf, and you can't import cars that are less than 25yrs old. You can sneak them by, but if its the v6 I don't see why anyone would take the great$$ to import pretty much the same thing you can get here.

vermonster66

yeah what options do the surfs have then the 4runners that i can look for?

crolison

You would have that little mirror by your hood, you could have a tire carrier in the rear (a swingout like the 2nd gen's), diesel, a field monitor unit

i guess i don't have the surf. but i just got my 48" hi lift jack today! and its huge!!!!! and does any one know if it is a pretty good winch out tool?
