  • Slipperys 2.8 T/D Kakadu Build

    Hi Everyone I'm new to the forum. Used to frequent newhilux forum but now have the new 2.8 Kakadu. Just trying to get Tapa talk working and I'll post pics n build up.
    Already done a few things and it's going in to ARB next Wednesday for some goodies.

    So picked up the new car and have had to wait on a few items to be confirmed by ARB.

    Color Coded Deluxe BullBar
    Side Steps with Scrub bars
    Snorkel
    Dual Batteries

    I've already fitted 275/65/18 Maxxis MT764's - was going to go Coopers STT but to hard to get and very expensive.

    I previously had a hilux with a GTURBO Stage 2 running 31 psi of boost and a HKS FCon ID fuel Management system. The power difference was double over std and the torque was, well you can't even compare. More torque than a 200 series. Just Auto's supplied and fitted most of the gear and dyno tuned it.

    I have the same power upgrade plans for this new one. Just Autos have only just aqquired a new lux and are going the R&D now.

    Suspension wise the kakadu is pretty limited. Have looked at Calloffroads gear now exploring overseas to see what's available. Any tips, pointers on the suspension would be great. When i get car back from ARB next Friday I'll post some more pics.

    Cheers Slippery - I look forward to chatting with you all.

          Hey mate yeh it's good. Alot quiter. Power difference isn't much accept quicker off the mark and first is a little shorter which should be good in the bush.

            Cheers mate. It's so different to the lux. I'm liking it but the change is still setting in.

                Hi mate, nice car. ARB in Qld are telling me that there isn't a battery tray for the 2.8 yet. Did you get a custom one made?

                  John the 2.8L takes a full size N70 and is supported in the same way as the cranking battery (right across battery base) so that can be installed in the same was as the cranker. The A/C pipes have moved on the 2.8 so there is no clearance issue.
                  Cheers

                      Some photos of the new gear fitted. Picked it up this afternoon. Very happy. So much goes in to bullbars these days. Relocating front camera, headlight washers, cut outs in step for the sidestep lights.

                      I see why ARB are the dearest but the best.

                        Next will be winch, dual battery setup and lift. (Still undecided about which way to go with lift)

                          Hey slips, grats buying Prado.
                          Great to see kakadu getting done up. don't see many of them getting done up on road.
                          doesn't kakadu come with airbag suspension?

                            Only at the rear, and it's useless for big loads like that bar work. Rip it out and go medium duty 2"

                              Cheers ! Yeh it does which makes it a bit harder to get suspension kits. I can get 2 inch lifted bags. Ripping it out and installing coils isn't really an option as it will require modification and a engineers otherwise it technically wouldn't be insured and simply can't have that. I can trick the levelling system to make the rear run higher all the time and throw dobinsons kdss coil overs in the front.
