Outer Limits 4x4 Board

35's with a 3 inch lift foul on my front inner guards and tore the rear bumper off and foul on the metal of the guard at the rear. how are you guys clearing big tyres without cutting guards?

Hi Flowed CT26 on Ebay

My 80 blows a whitish smoke that smells of oil and Toyota told me last week that this baffle needs checking as it may be allowing oil in. I only notice small amounts of oil loss in between 5000km changes but the smoke is enough to get attention. Wodonga Toyota service guy reckons it's common and ...

if you going to go to all the effort in putting a computerized engine in like the 1hdt, for the same price or cheaper u could go the inj350 or 6L...

Go the 1HZ, a good turbo setup doesn't cost the world

1HDT isn't computerised, niether is the 1HDFT multivalve

The 1hdfte is the computerised ...

The above two responses are your most likely causes. If it becomes more frequent/rapid with more accessories turned on then it is most likely a loose earth causing your Edic motor to cycle.

You can visually check this by running engine and turning lights on and watching the connector rod between ...

balzakracing, that modified 75 bar looks the go. are the top hoops still as rigid as a standard arb bar?

which engine? if it is a 3B or 2H with an EDIC, chances are you have a bad earth or other wiring fault that resuts in a small voltage across the EDIC motor, causing it to cycle occasionally.

that might not explain the whole electrics cutting out though. maybe bad earth connection on the battery ...

I have just fitted a second hand gearbox and transfer case to my full time 4wd 80 series.

The new transfer case jumps out of high range frequently and when it is engaged there is a loud whining noise. The noise is consistent with speed, not revs, so I'm expecting it's in the transfer case and not ...

My 80 series TJM bar mounted on brackets that bolted onto the chassis, then the bar bolted to the brackets rather than being one piece like the ARB ones. The bar would move and pivot on the mounting brackets no matter how tight the bolts were, and the aerial mount hit the bonnet when I hit a deer ...

Why will the coils be sitting under the rails? You will limit the spring length you can run and/or increase the ride height significantly for the same travel. Especially if you are running captured coils.

This link has the axel codes. I run a 4.1 hiace centre in my lux which is apparently from an early 90's 2.8 diesel van, but I say apparently as it was an Ebay purchase so I can't confirm.

You should be able to here the motor from the drivers seat with the door open when you press the button.

Rough measurement of my 35x12.5r15 Radial Claws on the Hilux measured from 9 oclock to 3 oclock on 10" rims is 34" with about 30,000km of use.

I wa playing with a set of Hilux Aisin's on my full time 4x4 GXL 80. Yes they fit but the circlip in the hub is in the wrong spot on the axel giving about 5 - 6mm float to the axel inwards to the diff centre.

I was going to slice a piece of spline as a spacer off a set of fixed hubs but never got ...

No, the centres are different sizes. Hilux being 8" and cruisers being 9.5"

4 Runners only went IFS in 1986.
In 1989 (maybe late 88) the 3rd generation Hiluxs were released with IFS in all SR5 models ONLY.
All models became IFS in 1997 with the introduction of the 4th generation.

Toyrex is right, the ratios will differ although it will bolt straight in. The 80 series rear is a larger centre and will not fit the hilux.

Yeah, that's the plan was just hoping to know before hand so we could have an appropriate replacement ready to go straight in but doesn't look like we will know until after we remove.

Yeah, thanks that's a good tip and very easy to do. But he blew the centre so wanted to know what ratio it was to know if he would buy my centre or not. Also was curious about the code!!!????

Cheers,

Ben

Thanks v6hilux but it is definately written as G895, hence the confusion. I found a slightly more extensive list than that in my search but it stopped at 71.

If nobody else has heard of it either then I will post up what ratio it is when it comes out this week. I was hoping to offload my old 4.3 to ...

Chasing some info for a mate's hilux and his axel code reads G895

I've done the searches, spent all arvo searching.

G =8"
89 =what ratio???
5 = 4 pinion LSD

I can't find the 89 ratio code in any of the lists anywhere. It's a gen 3 dual cab with a 3L so it should be a 4.3 right?

Read the below thread. I'll see if I can dig up the pics.

Thanks guys, it worked well. Certainly made the switch back to leaves in the Hilux a lot harder

I'll put some pics up during the week.

Looked into it without a body lift as there's still room above the bolt in plate that is the rear shock mount. My plan was to replace this bolt in plate with some tube and a plate welded to the bottom but found I couldn't get a large enough diameter tube in the stock gap to enable the sideways ...

I run blue lenses on my light forces and I believe they increase visibility in rain and snow fall.

I believe they are legal because they only look blue when they are turned off. Turn them on and look at them and they do not look blue, they look white. Try it.

With regard to the (almost) stalling, does the frequency of the stalling increase with headlights (or high current drawing accessories) turned on?

I had this issue with mine and was told to look for a bad earth but I haven't driven it since I was given this advice.

Good luck

Ben

That sounds awesome Chris.

So who from the first run has there setups finished and working? And did you manage to get them engineered?

Ben

Agree with the above on road noise, they are quite tolerable. I have 33's on my 80 but they measure small at 31.5". Dunno if this is across the range or not?

Just buy from Toyota. They are only a couple of bucks each.

I would recommend going along the lines of a 24 volt to 12 volt convertor. The fridge won't be the only accessory you may want to use in 12 V. My neighbour runs a 24-12V convertor in his 60 which feeds 2 cigarette sockets in the rear and the trailer light plug. I'll try to find more info about his ...
