GOOD, OLD ’LUX FEELS BRAND NEW, AND EVEN MORE COMFORTABLE WITH OZTEC SUSPENSION UPGRADES.
THERE comes a time in a young girl’s life when she loses the spring in her step. So it came to pass with the Hilux in the shed. Indeed, her factory rear leaf springs were riding flat as a tack, even when nothing was weighing her down except a simple toolbox and some bog-standard accessories like a rear bar, canopy and fridge. Time for an upgrade.
Eighteen months ago she’d had a new set of shocks fitted – the second set in the eight years since originally rolling out of the showroom. Not happy with mainstream, we’d looked at the market and gone with OzTec’s Australian-made Outback Range. Brisbane-based and supplying suspensions for 4x4 and commercial use, OzTec originates from George Shepheard’s experience with racing and rallying. The shocks have proved their worth over the last 40,000 kilometres, easing us through four states and covering every sort of road surface this country has to offer (to check out our review of OzTec’s Outback Range, see issue 387).
