Re: Hilux 3.8 conversion
your best bet is to watch the classified's on here and wait for someone to sell one second hand! otherwise that is a never ending question depending on year of motor, what gear box you are going to run, how much work you can do yourself, if you get it enginered, and not to mention the wiring side of ...

Hey Shane, check your engine mounts very carefully, if you have to use a big pry bar use it, mine was unnoticable untill i took the engine out and then it fell apart. As for jumping out of gear have you put a body lift in? if so check that your shifter does not hit the cut out in the body were it ...

I have to agree with Struth this is not solving mates85 problem the motor he has is what it is, there cheap easy to fix and in my case reliable. The 3rz's do have valve problems and I could buy a complete motor and gearbox for a lot less than fixing the head on a 3rz. But anyway to try and solve ...

with the vr motor they run a body control module and unless you pulled the complete wiring loom out of the vr you won't have it, to overcome this you need to buy a body control simulator wich will overide all the antitheft. If your running an auto you should'nt have to get it re chipped it's usually ...

series one motors had different cranks for auto and manuals as "hiluxmad" said, you should be able to see the difference as the newer ones had 8 bolts on the fly wheel and i think the old auto's had six, either way crs and marks 4x4 do a kit to change it over either way. you might have to look at a ...

you will notice a very slight difference with the hubs locked on road because the lockrite lockers are designed to lock up under torque, so when you go round a corner one wheel is spinning quicker than the other and loading up the centre, quick way to fix this make sure your hubs are'nt locked. The ...

hi I drive an ln65 with a v6 six in it and was shaging center bearings every six months or so, since then have changed to a one piece wich i am pretty sure came out of a mid 90's hilux (ifs front).

I agree with error, I had 35's with 2 inch lift, 2 inch body and moved the front diff forward, won't do it again. Next time 2 inch lift (wich way you do this is your choice) and some work with the grinder and touch up paint, keeps the centre of gravity lower but you still get the benifit of bigger ...

best way to stop it being a rollux is to keep it low and wide, keeping in mind that a hilux with 33's or better still 34's and a lifted crossmember will go as far as a pootrol with with 35's. Steering wise i'm running snake racing relocation plates in the front and modified torque rod and drag link ...
