Hilux owners read please??

[03lux]

Hi all, just thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Blake, I reside in QLD and drive a 2003 Hilux dualcab. It's got a 3rz-fe 2.7L, 4 cylinder, it is 2wd and 5 speed manual.

Basically I'm looking to do some modifications over time, I've done pa good amount of research on what I plan to achieve. 

My goal in the long run is to turbo my 3rz, overhaul on my suspension and steering and upgrade my brakes. I want to make adjustments to my drive-line to suit.

At the moment I'm stuck on diff centres. I'd like to get a A01B as I have a A01A from factory but it's seeming difficult to find one. Is there other options for a lad centre that would suit? 

Also I've been looking into lc engineering in the states for performance upgrades, they have a massive amount of parts to suit my 3rz-fe but not so much on suspension or brakes. Maybe because I have an Aus Hilux, not sure. Can anyone point me in the direction of someone in Aus that can help out?

*NOTE* On lc engineering's website they have lowering kits for a TAUCOMA? Is this the American variant or a Hilux or a different rig? 

Any help or advice would be muchly appreciated and i look forward to hearing from you. Thanks for reading.

Blake.

Not a Hilux owner but as a general guide/initial starting point I do an eBay search to see what is currently available for parts, upgrades and modifications.

I also do searches on Gumtree which can be handy for identifying nearby wreckers.
