Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Send the seller a question. They have a fairly good reputation locally, they will know their stuff. I asked two other sellers that looked to be selling exactly the same thing and both of them said they wouldn't fit. The only things that should matter are the thread pitch and the axle diameter, so I ...

Does anyone know whether nut kits like this: Are the same for all Hilux models? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Front-Wheel-Bearing-Hub-Nut-Kit-Landcruiser-Hilux-60-Series-80-Series-LN167-/300596933500?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item45fcf9337c" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Just ...

This is a guide on how to remove the Starter Motor from an Diesel Hilux (3L, 5L or 5Le Motor) Note: I'm putting this up because Josh asked how to do it. Tools Required - 17mm open end ring spanner - 14mm open end ring spanner - Ratchet and short extension bar. - 17mm socket - 14mm socket To Remove ...

I'll have to take another look this weekend . . . but I think the brake hardline basically runs right up the middle of the opening, so even loosening it probably wouldn't help.

Not 100% sure on the 1kz. Is the starter on the drivers side? On the 5vz-fe V6 lux and prados of the same era, best/easiest way I found is to remove part of the drivers side inner guard trim and the brake pipe clamp on the chassis to gently push the brake pipe out of the way to squeeze the starter ...

See my sig - 2000 Hilux KZ-TE.

I actually managed to do what I thought was the hard part for pulling the starter - cracking the two bolts (FYI - crow's foot wrench + socket extension + 3/8" breaker bar + pipe for the top one, long-handled 17mm ring spanner for the bottom) - but now I'm scratching my head trying to figure out how ...

OK, here's an update. I pulled the belt and compared it to the genuine Toyota one. They're identical in size and the markings are where they should be. I replaced the belt with the Toyota one anyway. The camshaft mark was perfectly aligned with its mark, and so was the injection pump mark. The marks ...

How do you know the sound you can hear is the belt hitting the cover? a. Because if I put my ear to the cover, I can hear the belt slapping it b. Because if I run the engine without the cover, I can see the belt flapping far enough to where it would contact the cover. Is there a serious wear area ...

Stop freaking out, it is fine. Think about how the setup works. Whilst I am not familiar with this particular engine, timing belt is driven by lower of the two pulleys (I assume the fuel pump as per the 1H series of Toyota engines?). When it drives, the belt is pulled tight and, in turn, drives the ...

Either you have the wrong belt or the tensioner isn't tensioning, as in it has a broken spring maybe.... please keep us informed... Tensioner is definitely tensioning - that side of the belt has literally no slack in it, and the tensioner itself is practically new anyway. The odd thing is that when ...

McLarryBob wrote:That's HEAPS! Do the timing marks line up??

There is something not quite right there...

Yup, the timing marks were/are still aligned.

I'm going to pull the belt this weekend, compare it to the OEM Toyota belt, and try and figure out what's going on.

OK, here are the pics:

If it has as much slack as what you are saying i'm surprised it hasn't skipped a few teeth. I'm going to have another look at it this weekend, and I might swap the belt with a genuine Toyota one and see how that works out. I'll post some pics later tonight so you guys can see what I'm talking about ...

I'm not familiar with the exact engine you've mentioned but have messed with a fair few belt driven ohc motors.... the slack side of the belt should be the side with the tensioner on it... I would also make sure that you have the correct belt... seems to me it's too long for the motor, to me it ...

So the guy who ended up installing my snorkel (Roger) called my attention to an unusual sound in the engine bay that he noticed. He thought it might have been a bearing on a pulley going, but it actually turns out (I think) to be the timing belt itself slapping against the timing belt cover ...

ledgend80 wrote:there not negativly switch are they.

Yup, they are setup correctly for switched ground.

The previous owner of my Hilux had driving lights installed, and I decided to replace them with newer units. The old ones worked, so I know they were wired correctly. There's an illuminated switch that only allows the driving lights to be turned on when the highbeams are on. He used two relays (one ...

I have seen him fit several over the years.

Thanks, bru. I phoned up Roger this morning and he'll be installing the snorkel tomorrow.

2000 Hilux SR5 (KZN165R).

I've read other snorkel installation walk-throughs that say that the templates are often misaligned. Would some place like Bunnings have the necessary holesaw?

So we're doing a trip to Cape York next week (leaving Saturday), and unfortunately I decided at the last minute that I wanted to get a snorkel installed before we left. I've phoned all the usual places (ARB, TJM, Opposite Lock) in Townsville, but none can do the installation before next week. TJM in ...

Yup, I checked out the Tyre Topics index - only the Goodyears are in there.

I'm trying to choose between several options for replacement tyres on my '00 Hilux. Most of my driving is city/highway, but I do the occasional offroad stint, so I'm looking for an A/T tyre, not a hardcore offroad or mudding tyre. We are, however, planning a trip to Cape York, so they can't be ...

I'm just wondering about the contradiction between the service manual and what the water pump's instructions say.

I will be replacing the water pump when I do my upcoming timing belt change, and I'm wondering whether I should use Permatex Ultra Grey sealant when mounting the water pump (as recommended in the Haynes manual), or not (the replacement water pump instructions say "Do not use liquid packing or ...

Willy Hilux wrote:Ebay.com.au

Yup, tried that one too. Only one hit for a Hilux timing belt, and it wasn't a full kit.

Hi all,

Can anyone suggest good (Australian) websites for ordering Toyota parts? I'm just about to replace my timing belt/water pump on my Hilux, and I'm looking for a good price on a belt kit. So far, I've just come across TerrainTamer and 4WDparts.com

Thanks!

2000 Hilux SR5 crew cab with 3.0 turbo diesel. Full service history, canopy, driving lights, UHF radio, apparently excellent condition (I'll get the mechanical report tomorrow). Best part is that it only has 130,000 kms on it. The seller is asking $21,000. I actually think this price is pretty fair ...

That can't be right. The truck can't be older than 1991 if it has a (factory) 3L in it.

Hmm. Either I'm putting in the wrong portion for the model code, or it doesn't work for that VIN.
