Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi I have aquired some Fg falcon seats and they look like they will fit with the modification similar toe the prelude seat write up.
Question is will i need to use the attached seatbelt socket or just use the standard hilux ones?

Hi i have a 4wd systems dbe3 dual battery isolator from when i parted out my 4runner and was wondering if it was suitable to use on a 100ah deep cycle century battery?? I also have a brand new $30 ebay special solinoid setup that hasn't been used and was wondering which was the better of the 2 my ...

mine was a 55l tank (ln106 dual cab)
sorry cant take any pics as i now have a 120l long ranger in there.

dave

Thanks for the reply I managed to pick a 4wd one up last weekend for half the cost of the 2wd one.

HI just wondering if a 2wd dual cab tub from a 1994 hilux will fit a 1991 ln106 dual cab 4wd. I have heard yes and no but no-one can say why it wont work.

dave

It could be starter i had one that drew too much current(so i was told) that it would flatten batery to quick and was sluggish to start.
also when we did an engine swap we missed the earth to motor and it would only turn over very slowly. so maybe check and clean all earths

Dave

I can't help with the problem but was wondering what the difference was with using 4runner rear drums on a hilux? I have a ln106 dual cab and a 4runner chassis with complete rear end sitting in the yard and was wondering if it was worth the swap.

Dave

yep change the whole tensioner i had a so called hilux mechanic do my timing and 15000ks later the tensioner collapsed.

Hi have a long range tank from the 4runner i am parting out and wondering what brand the tank is? So i know what sort of capacity it has before i put it into the hilux there are no markings to identify any brand. also the small 2nd tank was attached but as can be seen the hose was worn out is this ...

Was also wondering if anyone knows the engineering cost (nsw) for fitting seats.

Dave

Looking at doing similar with integra or prelude(whichever i find) and wondering if you could use a steel block and longer hi tensile bolts instead of grinding the mounts etc.

dave

I'm no expert but try a very small thin blade flat screwdriver (jewelers type)in the plug as they have a little lug inside which holds them in. If any of that makes sense or try auto parts store for a new plug.

Dave

I think i will keep looking and search the wreckers.
Dudelux Mine has rusted out in the floor so was looking at a new tub or getting some steel plate and re-flooring it.

dave

HI
does anyone know if a ute tub for a hilux 1996 to 2001 will fit my 1991 hilux?
There is 1 on ebay at the moment. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... K:MEWAX:IT

Going by the description i'd say fan resistor or relay.My fan resistor went a few years ago (However mine only worked on full speed) and got a replacement for $45 http://shop.allfourx4.com.au/epages/sho ... 7138-35020

Check if your earth is connected from battery to alternator as when we did an engine swap forgot that lead and did very similar except smoke came out the regulator box.

So what's the deal with the timing belt light? When does it light up? Is it a multiple of Km's travelled, or something more clever? Having just bought this thing with ~280,000 km on it, I'm sorta thinking I should do the belt "just in case"... ( mine is a '91 LN106R which has the light come on with ...

I think he means he's putting on a liner and turbo.

Unless its rediculously higher at the rear i wouldn't worry about leveling it out because as soon as you get a load in the tray it will bring it down.


dave

I have had simiilar when the torque rod lost its bolt on the diff so it had disconected ln106 hilux
check both ideas

dave

Thanks Ash thats basically what i wanted to know.




thanks
dave

I guess no one knows so i will just try it and see what happens......... hopefully nothing and it takes the weight.

Curious to know what the weight of a 3l 2.8d engine is as i can get hold of an engine stand but its max is 450kg.

i am guessing that it is under 450kg but any info will be appreciated


thanks
Dave

Had a friend have a look and first thing he spotted was a missing bolt from the inlet manifold ( how blind am I ) and this combined with a bit of blowby is creating the leak. He suggests to either rebuild or just do a gasket kit. So it looks like I will be getting to know the 3l internals very ...

some pics of engine

where is the oil leak from?
and how do i fix it

might just be the strong dollar but for a hundred bucks is that with the cheap $6 probe? or a better quality one. in the group buy we all went for this one. http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=69" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Its 4 times the ...

Hi all the engine did run fine and no obvious noises seemed to have normal power. However it does have an oil leak down the passenger side under the intake manifold so figured to fix that up i will pull half the motor apart and may aswell do a rebuild. but will let my mate check it out first before ...

Hi guys I'm after opinions on ebay engine rebuild kits for a 2.8 3l hilux engine the current engine i'm looking at rebuilding was out of a 4runner that i got for parts etc at a salvage auction so I do not know its history except it had a new timing belt done 2000kms ago it has a denco turbo on it ...

not sure on your vehicle but in my hilux you need to be in Hi to drive and neutral is as it says neutral . the transfer stick does say h1 h2 N and lo

dave
