Carefully grind the existing mounts off, bolt them up and when you drop the motor in, bolt up the gearbox to make sue it all lines up right. Tack your mounts in place, then unbolt gearbox, lift out motor and fully weld, then there is no error in lining everything up.

Before you hit the beach spray some of that liqiud lanolin all over the undercarriage of your car, works great, you can get it from repco, supercheap etc. stores. The only crap thing is sand sticks all over it and thats a prick to wash off, but still better than rust.

G'day mate, i got one in the rear of my lux one of the best things i've done to it. I bought it from all pro in the states for like 2 hundred and something bucks and love itt. Not that good on tyres if you drive it daily but i reckon its money well spent.

It will be idler arm, and/or pitman arm, I used to go thorough 1 of these every couple of times I used to go out on my 4runner.

Hilux engine options

Looking at engine options for my hilux as the current 22r is getting a bit tired. Thinking of doing a toyota 3rz or holden V6 just want some feedback on what would be a good reliabe conversion, common problems if any and a idea of cost. Any help much appreciated thanks.
