Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I recently did a trip with a mate and his new UZJ200 both of us towing campers and compared our fuel economy and was very surprized with his useage it was 15.7lt to 100km. His Cruiser runs std tyres and was fully loaded with 80lt Engel 4 kids 3 dogs and the camper would be at least 1000 kg with all ...

Hi all has anyone used a Diesel Smart chip on there 1HDFTE and if so how does it go? I have done a search but have only found the usual Stienbauer/DP chip/ Rapid chip etc any help will be appreciated.

Hi all I was just wondering if any one has any pic's or fitting instructions for a third battery instalation in a 100 series on the passenger side of the engine bay behind the fuse box? I have purchased a Piranha tray and there are no fitting instructions or pictures for the re routing of wiring ...

I drove both before I bought and even though I love driving a manual the 5 speed auto wins hands down, great economy too, towing my 1.5t campervan we managed 11.6l to 100km's last trip and all it's got is a 3" zorst no chip so I'm hoping to improve it with the chip in the future. Driving around town ...

Defiately worth the effort did mine 18 months ago and did find a little better fuel consumption but would take a lot of driving to see the benifits! If you buy the Marks kit or the similar one's that use AVM hubs sell the hubs off while they are new and get genuine Toyota ones as I have replaced two ...

No 5 speed manual the good one was a 5 speed auto, heaps of back lash in the manual too have driven a few 4.5 and 1hz gxl 100's but this one has the most in it.

Comparing it to my 4.5 80 (the power house it is!!!!), I wanted to upgrade to turbo 100 but after driving it I was very dissapointed in it's off the mark lack of power and lack-luster highway cruising didn't even seem to have a great deal of torque either. Must have been the high km's as my 1hdfte ...

Thanks for your input guys, took it for a run today and allthough it ran and sounded all ok it drove and went like a cruiser thats done 300000km too! I think I will be looking at spending more and getting a lower km one even my old 80 with the same km's drove and went a lot better, can't see the ...

Hi all just looking for an idea on high klm in a 1hdfte 100 series, apart from injectors and pumps is there any major issues that seem to be common? The 100 I'm looking at has over 300000km on it but with all service history up to date, mainly highway km with some towing included just want to ...

Hi there westy I put the part time kit in my GXl last year eliminated 95% of driveline lash the constant 4x4 had and i dont get the slight torque steer it had,mine's a petrol and I thought the fuel economy was a little better than before by about 1.5lt to 100km so definately worth the $500 odd ...

I converted mine recently to part time 4x4 had a shop do the transfer part ( I DONT HAVE THE GEAR AT HOME TO DO IT) they did a top job I used the same kit as Marks 4x4 but got it from 4wd systems, do yourself a favour if you do a lot of 4wding buy genuine 80 series free wheel hubs as both the AVM ...
