i'm interested to see what is out there for a dual cab. Plenty of single cab designs around.

It also comes down to what you want to compromise with what you want to do. i'd like to shorten/narrow mine a bit but don't want to compromise practalcality to much. it's gets a little tricky some times!!!!

i don't understand why you have to take your front diff out to get sump off??
mine came straight out no worries.

i'd be a little worried about just "gooing" it up, but at that time of the day/weekend it's going to be hard to find someone to do it!

Who's doing the turbo up??

Talking to a few people and tapping into the alternator return won't really be succseful because it backs up and pressurises the seals. What im in the middle of doing it using a fittign like this for the bottom of the turbo: http://cgi.ebay.com/TOYOTA-CT9-CT12-CT20-CT26-Turbo-Oil-Feed-Flange-Kit_W0Q...

The spring perch on the front of the hilux's actually wear in a banana sorta upside down if you know what i mean. as you tighten the u-bolts it actually pulls the springs down the opposite way to the arc. you can buy spring perch plates to reserect it

there's a 12mm bolt that is threaded to the right hand side of the filter (when your looking at it on from the drivers side)

Pull the filter of and undo the bolt it's a long one.

There not that tricky. If your a little unsure jsut grab a haynes/gregory repair manual it's all step by step with pics e.t.c
pulleys can be a bit of a pain sometimes specailly the crank gear.
But it'll defs save you some cash!

That's fair enough. If you where doing it buy the logbook or most repair manuals/guides the belt only needs doing on the first hundered. and there is a big difference in price between fitting just a belt and doing a kit and pump as well. I Have seen many water pumps go well over 200,000k's and rarel...

If it's only it's first belt (100,000k's) just do the belt. if it's up for it's second (200,000k's) do a T - Belt Kit comes with tensioner, idler pulley and seals, but as already said use genuine seals the aftermarket ones leak, and yea also replace the water pump. The second one always cost more! i...

I"m Pretty Sure you'll need One done. We engineer cars and 4wd's/Trucks at my workshop and we have to engineer all turbo conversions and that's in QLD and were a little more relaxed than NSW.

We look for things such as emissions beeing met, installation beeing done properly e.t.c
