Restore the Classic Aussie Workhorse

The 1979–1983 Toyota Hilux (3rd Generation N30/N40 series) is a true icon. It was the ute that solidified Toyota's reputation for indestructibility in Australia, from building sites to the deepest outback tracks. Today, these classic Hiluxes are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts. At CruiserStore.au, we are dedicated to helping you keep these legends alive with a growing range of high-quality restoration and service parts.

Body, Lights & Rust Repair
Like all classics, rust can be an issue. We continually source repair sections for common problem areas, such as sills and tub floors. Our range also includes hard-to-find exterior parts, such as replacement tail light lenses, indicator assemblies, grille clips, and door handles, to replace sun-damaged originals and restore your bodywork to factory-fresh condition.

Engine & Driveline Maintenance
Whether your Hilux runs the trusty 18R or 22R petrol engine, or the unkillable L-series diesel, we have the parts to keep it humming. Browse our selection of carburettor rebuild kits, fuel pumps, water pumps, and ignition components. We also stock essential driveline parts, such as universal joints and clutch kits, to ensure power reaches the wheels.

Suspension & Steering
The leaf-spring suspension on these models is tough but simple. Restore the ride quality and handling with our range of replacement shock absorbers, leaf spring bushes, shackles, and ball joints. Replacing worn steering components is crucial for safety and to eliminate the classic "wandering" feel on the highway.
