Finally, an honest review and not like a random dude who hops into a test drive and tries to sell it to you off a script. I am torn between Hilux J 4x4 similar to yours and the Ranger XL 4x4. One thing for sure, we'll go our entire lives driving manuals 👊
The hilux J variants have a lot of advantages, you can upgrade it to anything you want. There is almost infinite upgrade kits which you can purcahase. Power windows, front and back camers and sensors, roll bars , bed covers, camper shell canopy, bumpers upgrade, LED lights, roll bars, suspensions, tyres, wheels, lights garnish, step board, fender flares, rain visors, hood and tail gate assists, roof rails, snorkle , the lists just go on and on.
Im have the same hilux but 2.7 gasoline 2019 base model 2x4 same tires r17 good rich all terain and im just get a canopy im recomended the maxtop from maxliner it made in thailand .. it is a great truck made to last for years mi hilux all redy have 87000 km whit no problem still whit original batery 2 years old bless you bro✌️
your rig is exactly what I have in mind if I ever buy one, add some snorkel, a rollbar, and some roof basket....Hilux J 4x4 is definitely bare-bones and exactly the best variant to upgrade from scratch
I think that chinese pick up that you mentioned are either the Maxus T60, the JAC T6, or Foton Thunder or the JMC Vigus I think or JMC Jim, whichever of the two.
Planning to buy one too.. Man you and have the same taste... Monologue colors.. Black n white, stay simple... All you did was grear, I kinda copy it next time if I got the unit, except I add front durable grill protection bumpers that's all. I will not probably lift up stay on the same size of tires just paint it black that's it as for sped safety... It will compensate on curb roads when you body lift up. Thanks, all the way from Zamboanga City Philippines
You too, Sir. I'm happy to see American living in this crazy country, I have relatives, sister and nephew living in New York South ozone area, Connecticut and New Jersey respectively...
@@kanointhephilippines8082 yeah, most others, as you've said, talking about the cheap 4x4, have some fancy things that we don't really need, where the most important diff-lock is lacking.

Nice built of your truck sir...my pops purchased recent v variant 2.8 hilux but i really like the basic one as long as its reliable truck which is toyota known for..wow thankyou for feeding the stray dogs godbless you
The Hilux J 4x4 6-speed manual transmission is all worth it for its price of just about PhP1.2 million even when it’s engine is just a small displacement 2.4-litre (2GD-FTV series)…. Mine is a 2022 Hilux Cnquest manual transmission, also with the 2.4-litre turbo Diesel engine. It pulls sizeably strong for its small displacement especially when in power-mode….. The technology now in diesel turbocharging and high-pressure rail injection is advance where old diesel with relatively bigger displacements are just clunkers in the past. It may not be as strong compared to the 1GD-FTV series 2.8-litre or the 3.0-litre engine on the Isuzu D-max or Mazda BT-50 but there is really not much difference since we normally use our utility pickups in the tarmac or paved roads and we don’t usually wrong out their necks in off-roading either….. On normal mode, the 2.4-litre Conquest can speed up to 170 kph and on power-mode it easily reaches 180 kph or so…. And going up to Baguio City or the Cordilleras (via the Kennon Road and Marcos Highway), it really pulls with gusto as long as you let it sing in the right rpm and you’re on the right gears (but you cant’t really lug it at low engine speeds climbing up unlike the bigger 1GD-FTV mated Hilux or the 3.0-litre D-max and BT-50)…. They like, however, being loaded at the back such that the rear is quite a bit ‘squatted’ that it doesn’t bounce easily up and down in oscillation where transfer of the power to the wheel is thus better and traction is enhanced After some 6000 km on the odometer so far in combined Metro Manila-AngelesCity-Subic-Baguio-NLEX-SCTEX-TPLEX-Kennon Road-Marcos Highway-MacArthur Highway driving on usual normal mode and at times on the power mode (I don’t use the eco mode), my average fuel consumption todate is 14 km per litre
I've thought about maybe some day visiting the Philippines. Not sure I could handle it. I have too kind of a heart. I would want to take in every stray dog and care for it. And seeing poverty stricken people kills me. I've never been homeless but I've been really poor. But it's so beautiful there and I would love to see that side of it.
The Philippines is beautiful, you are correct. The people here are what makes it great. Most everyone contributes to the family unit so in many they are strong and can make ends meet. Stray dogs are everywhere in the province but all left over rice and food goes to the dogs, almost every house feeds them. Thanks for commenting.
You and I have a mutual friend here in the states. He has been planning a trip there to see you for a year or better. I watch his dogs when he is gone and can't take them with him. He just had back surgery and I have them now in fact. He tells me things about you and the Philippines. He can't wait to be able to come . He so needs this vacation. So when he finally gets to come you have to take extra special care of this man for me, he means the world to me. I loved the video you did about your place in the mountains. Showing how it looked at the time and telling about all your plans for it in the future. Looked so pieceful. Have you finished your landscaping you wanted to do there? And you have another place you live as well? Do you plan to do a video of the work you have done to the mountain property? Would love to see it. And I love your truck. Looks like a nice ride. I have a Dodge Ram 1500 4x4.
I was there in May,the poverty, children begging on the boulevard and the emaciated dogs and cats,all very overwhelming.You will sense all the hopelessness.. I'm home now,yet my mind keeps going back there
@@michellelee4843 I'm sorry you are still plagued with that. I know it also has its beautiful spots. But I guess you can't just see the beauty, you must also see the ugly side of it as well. No living creature should ever have to live like that. I wish you peace in the future.
LT 265/70/17 BFG KO2. For this tire to fit the "j" model you need about 4 inches of lift from stock as the front lower part of the fenders are different that the conquest, very close to rubbing there at a full turn. Since the video I added more lift with KYB rear springs and adjustable front shocks. Thank you for your comments.
The "J" model comes stock w/o a rear bumper. I installed a HD aftermarket rear bumper and it works well. I will paint the front bumper facia white to color match the truck at some point.
Nice truck ..exactly what my wife and I are getting her parents as they're getting old and need transportation. What dash cam are you using?... as that's actually a good idea as a preventative measure.
Thanks for posting. Looking for the same truck option. Mostly staying in Mountain Province and definitely need the 4x4. Any suggestions where you can get the lift done? Thanks in advance 🤗
Tims auto yard in Dumaguete does great work and they have a large selection of 4x4 parts in stock. I'm sure there are several other places especially in Cebu City.
@@kanointhephilippines8082 We only have Mitsubishi, Nissan, Isuzu, Mazda, Ssangyong, Maxus, Toyota, and Ford. This Toyota Hilux can compete with the Mitsubishi Strada, Nissan Navara, Isuzu D-Max, Ssangyong Musso, Maxus T60, and Ford Ranger.
Nice truck. I'm from Cotabato. But I'm here in California for now. I'm planning of buying Hilux J also when I go back there next year. I have a question. Can you put a 265/70/R17 tires and alloy rims with out lifting the truck?
Hello there. Can i ask a question if you don't mind? How much was the 3 inches lift? Rims and tire? Does it void the warranty if you lift the truck? I like your set up. It's very simple but beautiful. I'm planning of buying a Hilux J. Thanks for your time. Have a good day.
@@dragonballs4467 Yes but can be more or less depending on what products you purchase and mine was done April 2021, prices here have went up 20-30% since then.
The lift is rear shackels, front springs and adjustable upper control arms. if you scroll through the comments you will see info about the wheels and tires. Salamat.
In case you upgrade next time bro, make it so that you get the Hilux Conquest 4x4 manual transmission with the 2.8-litre inline-4 cylinder (1GD-FTV) - this engine will definitely be tweaked yet again in the factory in 1 year or 2 years from now to 221 hp with 550 Nm of torque as Toyota has to keep up with the market, and even when it’s not really a performance pickup unlike the all-new Ford Ranger Raptor (small brother version or Australian-version of the F-150 Raptor) 3.0 V6 gasoline, Toyota at least can show the market, despite it has no answer for it, that it upgraded the power figures on its top-trim Hilux pickup…. I’m waiting too when Toyota release a new or face-lifted yet again Hilux Conquest with the upgraded 2.8-litre 1GD-FTV engine in 1 year or 2 years time from now.
The "J" model has no power windows, seats, cruise or radio control buttons on the steering wheel. I like a truck to just be basic but I do like aircon and it has that. :)
