Outer Limits 4x4 Board

No probs mate, just remeber there should be no part of the snorkel and/or the bracket at the top that is actually making direct contact with the cab . Safari do give you a small piece of rubber with pre-drilled holes .

I fitted a safari snorkel to my 2.8 lux some months ago and i had noise and vibration too, it got really annoying so i decided to see if i coud improve it, i took the whole thing off and tried out a few things with the way it was mounted, i drilled the mounting holes on the guard out a bit more so i ...

hey quick 60 what do you mean by this?"Oilcheck in Sydney (schedule 2 about $42)" ??

Anyone heard of an oil called "Fuchs" its german made and is avaliable at most autobarn shops the guy at the shop reckons its the best stuff on the market and has been specially formulated and used in european industrial machinery for years and now hitting the domestic market, he gave me a good ...

hey Quick 60 --ULX-110 diesel supreme-- where do i get this stuff?, i done a search on it on the web and apperently its avaliable almost all states in australia but not NSW?? how come? do any places in NSW sell it?

LOL yup we sure get sucked in hehe, now that you mentioned it, what is the right viscosity and grade for a diesel like the 2.8D lux?

thanks guys, really apreciate your feedback, looks like there are some diesel spec oils after all, i might take this shell synthetic back to the shop, has anyone out there used synthetic oil in their diesel? what results did you get if any?

I'm doing an oil change on my 2.8D lux , i bought some synthetic oil, expensive stuff, a friend of mine said it was the best stuff to put in, but then another guy i know said that i need to put some oil thats for diesels only? . I read the back of the container of the synthetic and it says its ...

I stand corrected , now that i think about it, i dont think there were any xtra cabs with leaf fronts, my mistake, And yes i do love my extra cab alot more.

Well mine has not failed yet and i'm thankfull for that!! Is it a good thing? well when i dont have to take my fat arse out of the car to engage all wheels , hell yes !!! especially if your already in some mud! You see Toyota are very smart, when they decided to put the cloth trim and carpet in the ...

Mine is a genuine 90 SR5 xtra cab with 2.8D , some people are not too fond of IFS but i love it, and you definately cant beat cupholders, going to maccas without cupholders can be a bit scary, those plastic lids on the coke come off easy when you got the cup between your legs, bugger. This is the ...

Well i'm keen to see the new lux and the engine specs look good but does it shiit it self when under water?

I have recently sent posts back and forth with a few people equireing about a hilux 90 exta cab fuel tank for 2.8D , people have sent me pictures and said that they will sell the tank and so on , i have sent emails back since and got no response so, I would like to know one more time If anyone out ...

Thanks for the advice guys, i could not find those fuel tanks in the trading post, i was looking in the nsw section, are you sure they are there? can you send me a link?

The best advice i can give you based only from my own experience and also my friends is "Know what you want" and also take a drive of some diesels and petrol 4x4's and learn about the pros and cons for both engine variants. Good value for money 4x4's in my opinion are those imported hilux surfs you ...

Ok i have taken all your good advice and used it, Last weekend i took out the fuel tank , i removed the fuel pickup to take a closer look, as soon as i saw it i knew i found my problem it was completely stuffed, full of gunk and crap its a wonder that any fuel got in there at all, the tank had a ...

you guys are great thanx for all your help, i had also suspected there might be crap in the fuel lines, planning to take out the fuel tank and clear out the fuel lines in the next week or so, i'll let you guys know how it goes, thanx again for everyones help.

Hi , i have a 90 2.8D lux in perfect condition only 193kms. But the car has this one whopper of a problem, i drive it for about 15 min then all of a sudden it starts to lose power and konks out, its a strange problem because any normal day i can drive it and it is almost guaranteed to stall after 15 ...

thanx for the help people

Thanks for the tip i was thinking of extractors too but i heard that putting extractors on some motors can actually cause the engine to lose power because it loses the backpressure it requires, i dont know if this is the case for the 2.8 D , probably not but in any case if there is anyone out there ...

Hi everyone I'm new to the forum just got myself a 90 hilux with 2.8d thats really solid but still a standard hilux slug so i was wondering if any of you had any tips on doing some cheap mods to the motor or gears to get some extra speed and/or economy, cant afford a turbo or another motor so any ...
