hey guys -

Ive been out of the 4x4 game for a couple months now and have come across a 81 f-50 styleside ute at a friends place. Its completely straight, no rust (spent the last 10years in a garage) and has a small 4cyl diesel, & 5 speed manual.

I believe i can pick it up for quite cheap as its ...

hey buddy ive got the DTS kit on my hilux 2.8diesel. Makes a massive difference, mostly in torque and acceleration, but holds hills awsome.

I think you'll find that the TD05-16g will be perfect for your car, and if you want to get the lower down power, get a custom 3" dump pipe and 3" exhaust. This ...

Looking at rebuilding one of these from the ground up.

Basically let me know what you have.

Ive got a 2 complete hiluxs besides ones cab is twisted.

Looking at rebuilding axles, brand new 3" lift, re paint, clean it all up, and dump my 2.8TD intercooled motor & brand new box in when shes ready to ...

Then i changed to a 2004 5Le motor which was a complete running engine and gearbox and had 70,000kms on the clock when i removed the whole assembily and put it in my 1993 lux. The ...

Ive got a 97 hilux dual cab, 2.8 diesel.

I rolled it over and damaged the left side of the cab, however the chassis and driveline seem to be in still good nick.

My options;
Do i part it out and see what i can get for it?
Do i get another cab and rebuild it?

What do you think i should do? Im keen ...

Hey guys -

Just put a new motor in my lux, and decided to do the clutch also.

I had the flywheel machined, new spigot bearings, and a HD clutch kit from PBR which i bought at repco.

Fitted it all up, and found that the clutch was only half disengaging, and that going from neutral, foot all the ...

ive had 2 '3L's now. Both spat the crankshaft seal at 295,000 and 297,000. Ive also had a mates throw his at 302,000. Hopefully this is enough indication for you guys.

YOU ARE STUPID not to change the timing belt at least everytime you have the cover off. they are the most important part of your ...

hey guys,

thanks heaps for the info. Personally, being a apprentice engineer (hydraulics..) i really dont have the cash to fork out the kit. But from what you guys are saying, if i do the CT20 turbo kit properly, it should be fine. And id fit it myself, i know a diesel mechanic, but also know ...

Cheapest way is to get a CT20 turbo from a 2.4 diesel hilux import, wrecker or ebay is a common place to find them.

Pretty cheap if you do it yourself - exhaust manifold from the 2.4 bolts straight onto the 2.8.

Most people recommend a 2 1/2 or 3 inch dump then a 2 1/2 inch pipe from there to get ...

Hey guys -

Looking at turboing my LN106 hilux 2.8diesel.

Ive searched through pages of threads about turbos but havent really come to a conclusion yet -

So - What turbo do you guys prefer and why? & how much did they cost you all up, and what things did you have to do to make it run 100%?

And ...

I understand i could of got one for cheaper, but its imaculate. Ill post some pics when i get it on ...

...you hit forwards to reverse at high revs/speed?

get a replacement, they are one of the last pieces to go in a wrecked jackaroo, so off to the wreckers you go with a grand in the pocket and a slab of beer on the shoulder

Yeah easier said then done. Ive called every wreckers ...

how much did you pay for it?

....if you just bought it, report the bloke who roadworthied it.... sounds like a melon

the winter button? (starts car in 3rd gear)

jack up the rear of the car, and give it some peddle ...

Hey guys.

Ive been meaning to post a introduction thread up but was trying to make the car run first.

Got her running and was excited enough to go take her for a drive and the sign of disappointment.

I put her into drive (auto obviously..) and it wont engage. It will engage into reverse, but ...
