Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Just a bit of a heads up. My 08 Hilux has been running like a bag of shit lately, between gear changes it feels like it had really severe turbo lag, and getting off the mark too was a bit average. Thinking about it too, when I towed the camper about 6 months ago it was pretty average too. So I ...

Does anyone know what these rims are? They are branded Toyota and I think they came off a Landcruiser/Prado? They say 15x7JJ8 and have a set of 31X10.5 Duelers on them. They seem to fit on my KUN26R Hilux on the front, haven't checked the back yet. Does anyone know if they will go on a new style ...

Check PM's mate

Hi,

Something I learnt when I had to spend time in a turbo room - when removing the compressor wheel nut use a T bar, using a ratchet can pull it to the side and damage it.

Seems funny it's overheating on the highway when you should have good airflow

Whats the water pump like? Maybe pull it off and have a bit of a gander?

As you said the only other thing it could be is that the hot air is being trapped, maybe it needs a shroud above the radiator or something??

Hi mate, If you really can't use the Mazda ECU it might be worth trying something like this - http://www.globaldensoproducts.com/em/dem/crs/index.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. I've had a little bit to do with this Nippon Denso system, it seems alot more basic than other common ...

Yeah mate, pumping the pedal won't do much. Probably best to grab a cheap multimeter from Supercheap or something and do some simple tests. Check the battery without cranking. 12.4 volts or higher. Check the battery while cranking. Should be about 10 volts or so, depending on the draw. Inspect your ...

Sounds like they left a hose off. Pretty wild hosing the engine down tho.

It won't be hard to fix mate, they will just order a VRS kit, and replace the bent rod. It may have a couple bent valves too, they are cheap.

Hi mate,

Where is the pump actually leaking from? I had a problem with my pump a few months ago, there is a blanking plate on the side of the pump that sits up against the block. There is a little o-ring that sits inside it, mine was buggered. I had to pull the pump out to replace the o-ring tho.

Hi mate,

I put 4 Runner seats in my cab, to get rid of the bench. It fits perfectly on the passenger side, but on the drivers side only 3 bolts fit...you can make a bracket up for the fourth.

I've always wanted to see a 4wd with hydrostatic drive, it's such a damn good idea. If you've ever operated hydrostatic dozers/loaders, they are so torquey. He's also gone closed loop so he doesn't need a big ass reservior.

I reckon it's the future, either hydrostatic drive or electric drive.

Spring washers are used so the nut or bolt push up against the thread, thus locking it. I saw that description by the NASA manual, and it's wrong. A spring washer is at it's most effective when fully compressed, as all springs are.

Mate, your little knob for turning the dash lights up and down isnt turned down?

Power steering pump mounting bolt and the adjusters are prone to failure.

Unblock your breather, clean the leak, if it's still leaking then yes you need a new seal. Sometimes they stop leaking when the breather is cleared, more often not tho.

Sorry, I thought he said shaft, it's early morning, give me a break. I gotta read shit before i post.

Sowwy :(

Don't turn it. Thats such a stupid idea, when they're built, they're balanced. And if you go changing it, you're going to throw the balancing out. You can check for yourself, if you open it up, check the back of the wheels they should have gouge marks from where they are balanced. So basically, your ...

Take the new cut key, and run it under a wire wheel. I promise you it will work.

2wd Hilux is 5 stud.

Solenoid sits above the main body of the starter, it's the smaller cylindrical bit

Mate, just change your oil every 5000. I use Ryco filters, i'm at 300,000k. You get everyone bagging on Ryco filters, but they cost $3 each, and they seem to work. If you are crazy about filters etc. just buy a Donaldson or a Fleetguard. Personally, I prefer Fleetguard, because every single ...

Hey fellas, just a quick couple questions: I've got a set of 2" extended shackles, and want to run them with 2" lifted springs, apart from extended brake lines, what degree castor angle wedges will I require? Will the angle be different for front and rear? Will I also need a dropped drag link? Is ...

Because 70 series are uncomfortable, and spring under axle.

Nice conversion.

Why would you bother? Buy a new coupling, and fit in. Thermo's aren't as good as the viscous fan.

Prado mate.

As city-like as they are, i've seem them in the mud - strong vehicle.

I find that most Hilux's push out a little smoke when you're going up a hill. just a 3L thing I guess, my 92 with 300k on the clock does it, so don't be too alarmed.

It'll probably a smoke a bit too if it's been wound up.

Depends what it does...

It'll last forever if you just go backwards and fowards.

Except the center bearing on them suck ass. Gotta change em every 50,000 or so.

Lollers, ignore me, I just woke up when I posted that.
