Re: Fitting a Suntrekker to a Mk 8 Hilux
Hi, I had the same issue with the rear leg and bumper (although also with the side legs as my tyres are 3inches wider than the standard arch) my solution was to bolt on some box iron and extend the legs where they slot into the body !

Fitting a diesel heater or similar
Hi, I'M looking into fitting a Webaso (or similar) heater kit and am wondering if folks here carry a separate Billy can for the fuel or somehow feed into the main pickup tank ?
