Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I have recently purchased a 01 prado TX, stock 1kz etc. One thing I noticed while giving the car a service was no LSD in the rear. I checked the manual etc and a few online things, apparently the TX model uses the brakes to regulate the wheel slip, like ABS in reverse, it brakes the wheel that is ...

It may seem a stupid question, possibly an engineer can answer best, but why is it done this way for the ifs hub conversion versus spacing the brake caliper out 34mm with the corresponding longer bolts, so surf / LN106 ventilated disks and calipers can be used, a far superior brake setup?

mate, both are all within th erealms of the verage bloke, but as the last post said, the reality check if it has been fkd before, basics, full timing belt kit ebat @ $160, use toyota manual, loosen crank bolt with starter first, remove all rad etc, then just follow good mech procedure replace keyway ...

you have the best of both worlds, basically the only adjustment is the fuel enrichment, I i have been after a 5LE for a while, really only for the cas as I really connot be f d sorting out autos ecus etc, everthing is almost identical bar 600 cc's, best advice, runs standard surf boost get EGTs, up ...

check rolin imports they have the 2wd g52 boxed brand new for $770 all internals the same, just the output for the tranny different, worth a look

i'd susp fuel line or filter a bit blocked, possibly from crap disturbed when out bashing about. good to get some compessed air, blow out lines, swap new filter, then use return line to pressurise tank to make easy to prime. good tip is to fill new filter with clean diesel as well as all the fuel ...

any large auto transmission cooler will do, I have just used the ford ones as they are large , cheap and effective. maybe when towing it is best to lock the transmission into a lower gear at the beginning of the approach and have the o/d off, I think it mentions this sort of stuff in the manual, but ...

What a fn mission, I guess it has never been apart before, yep have crank timing gear, just call, tony 0419733837

I susp brake vacuum booster, You probably don't hear it in park as you don't have your foot on the brakes.
You can try disconnecting and plugging the vaccuum line from the Alt/vac pump and work your way back until the booster, it could be the anti bleedback valve if fitted

they just pop in and out, easy job with long thin screwdriver, what model Lux?

since you have spent the coin with all the mods a rebuilt diesel is worth doing. if you have the basic mechanical skills it is quiet easy to do the engine, just remove engine, engine crane $250, sell it afterwards if you don't need it, cheaper than hiring twice. strip engine down, take cleaned ...

An additional transmission cooler is a very worthwhile investment in any case, 1. for cooling, 2. for more fluid. The key thing to remember is the fluid is the lubricant and when it reaches certain high temperatures it will break down as with any oil and cease to protect the internal surfaces, then ...

the housing is 1330mm flange to flange, from memory about 50mm wider track

by the sound of the filter, if it occurs again, use some compressed air to blow the return and main lines clear back to tank, Drain fuel tankuse the compressed air again to blow any rubbish around and out of tank, refill fuel using a paint striner in a funnel, you will be amazed what crap may have ...

if it is an auto the factory transmission cooler sits in the bottom of the radiator effectively blocking 50% of the flow. a standard alloy manual radiator and a large aftermarket oil cooler should fix your woes. If it is a manual, while it is apart to do the head, change the water pump or at least ...

I have had a few 4x4's, mostly Hiluxes, and drive at work cruisers and patrols, the earlier hiluxes I've had were all soild axle early models and I never seem to get stuck anywhere with them. I currently own a 93 2.4td auto surf and I am very happy with it, No rust, drives well, everything works ...

79-83 rn36 rn46 ln46 7.00r16 was standard fitment, I have owned or wrecked out about 6 of these, 7.50r16 can be legally fitted, the next series onwards had 205r16's, so technically 31 10.5 r 15's can only be fitted on early ones if you follow the guidelines from DOT and wheel and tyre fitment guide ...

I had one start leaking ages ago, just cut the rubber hose and crimps off and took the clean banjo fittings down to hydraulic hose mob, they just cut a section of hose the same length and crimped it on the old fittings @$25 from memory, it worked fine, I think the hose was rated to 150psi so no ...

October 83 was the release of the ln65 series two shape and with it came the G52 5 speed as far as the books I have show, there is another 5 speed around called L45

The CT 20 is the one used across the range, the early ct20 used on the 2LT (2.4 early cast alloy rocker cover) has a bolt on flange for the crossover pipe. to fit the turbo manifold you will have to drill and tap two opposing bolts in the head as well as swap the oil cooler housing and put a drain ...

Guys I am looking into doing this conversion and would like to known the tricks and traps of this. The vehicle is a 93 Hilux surf 2LTE with the A434F auto. so it has an EFI style wiring Harness and Electronic speedo input. 1. Does any model of the UZ family of engines physically, just bolt straight ...

congrats on buying the hilux ute, looks quite tough, but as for doing up a 22r, we have a saying here, "ya can't polish a turd", but check the wreckers around your area for 22ret, the turbo should really get this this truck moving

one solution, yes, For all our sakes, document all the costs and hassles after the injector pump check by the "Denso certified technician". Send it all to Denso Australia, get the fuel pump work reimbursed and the useless "Denso Technician" looses his certification, so others don't have this grief ...

wow hasn't this ignited into a hot debate, I've only had mine two years and I am very happy with it. The tech support etc off the surf forum has been great. Two points: 1. They are a fairly complex vehicle due the luxury level to be enjoyed, they are getting on in years and therefore are reaching ...

from the ones I have driven, they seem to top out at about 140-145, I've got a stocker auto 2LTE surf, only mods are no egr and free wheeling hubs and it easily gets to 120 and on a long straight it managed 145, but at 110 it does 2950rpm, it doesn't go too bad for a lump of a car with a 2.4 diesel ...

It's not an impossible jub the way you are doing it with the complete late model vehicle. The engine mounts are in a different location, so no dramas cut the old mounts off and replace with the donor cars mounts, just get the exact measurements off the donor car before cutting. If donor vhicle is an ...

I may be wrong but isn't the A434F the same trannie as in 2lte surfs, v8 cruisers, T/D Prados etc, I think with all autos the cooling in the absolute key element and as for tranfer cases, It appears the R series gear driven transfer case can be used, just check with that marlin crawlers site. It ...

it is straight forward conversion, given that yours is a non efi pump. you are right in thinking why reco a 2.4, when a 2.8 bottom end will fit, it has a bit more torque due to the increased stroke, 3L and 5L use the same crank, so if yoy can get a 3L cheap enough go for it. As for pumps, they are ...

brand new 4y $1350, bolt in no wiring or mods, just a set of extractors and a good exhaust, any conversion will set you back at least $3000 even doing it yourself, I looked right into it for a mate and in the end, $1350 bolt it in and accept it will just go ok, easy to sell if you need too, It ain't ...
