Undergrad engineer here, whats vehicle weight and I'll do up some spreadsheet for ya mate.

EDIT: started on spreadsheet, just let me know exactly what you want to know and i'll make sure it's got everything you want.

Was it a dealership mechanic? That seems to make a big difference.

Also: Queue Isuzurover answer He knows what he's on about.

For the others, my question not for an opinion rather than where/how can it be done.

Cheers

You must be new here. Welcome.

Prodesktop. It has a fairly easy learning curve, I taught myself the basics in a day in highschool when I studied technical drawing. It has a fairly intuitive interface for working in 3d that will let you build models very simply.

Prodesktop has since been merged into ProEngineer which is a bit ...

This thread has been a mighty insightful read actually. If there is a mod around can we get this added to the hilux bible?

Hmm, can I interest anyone in a Hiclone, Vortex muffler or some blinker fluid???

I was wondering when you would chime in.

yer need new shocks, there nearly maxxed out just on level ground, torsion bars are wound up a little. front locker is next on the list for sure

I have the same model truck mate and you need to jack up the front and check the drop out of the wheels as ...

When I was researching tyres to buy mine last december I heard this a lot too. I ended up going with Nankang Mudstars (same tread pattern) and found the Mudstars where actually oversize. Bought 32x11.5x15 and they measure 33.5x11.75x15. I was stoked for $235 a tyre fitted and balanced.

This is the one snake racing sells, with the creeper joints it wouldn't limit flex, and imho is a fairly easy design to copy.

The purpose of a BOV is to prevent compression surge thus reducing wear and tear on your engine and turbo system.

Towing a mid size camper trailer (big enough to require trailer brakes) behind ours we would get about 17L/100km.. Also the 3.5 V6 can be a bit underpowered when fully loaded for the hills and such. If you find a turbo diesel over the petrol I would. Much more balanced car. If the pajero club can't ...

Think i pay $120 for 20l.
Theres a place in cranbourne behind the cop shop that sells oils and fuel maybe worth a try.

Yeah mate, for 20L don't buy it at this price, I work at a caltex, and it sells for $96 roughly.

Gday mate just use regular LSD oil, and add some Lucas oil stabiliser for good measure. The stuff is tops.

Thanks for the opinions, looks like I'm going with TJM

Definitely open to suggestions on other shocks, just have a friend in the 4x4 club who works for tjm and a soft spot for Superior engineering who each supply those shocks.

It's come time for me to replace the shock absorbers on the front of my IFS hilux, and I have a toss up between TJM homebrand for $120 ea or Rancho's for $130 ea. I've never had any experience with either, and I would like some opinions before i go and make the choice. The hilux in question is the 2 ...

Yeah, navara's are not good for back seat room, there will be a better availability of parts for the hilux, the only other thing that is worth checking is Spring\Coil\Torsion bar, in that year model hilux's I believe they had gone to coils, if the navara is still torsion bar I'd strongly suggest ...

When I did mine I ended up using two rattle cans of primer, and 2 cans of Matt Black (Dulux cans), I just sanded them back, gave them a good wash, primed, sanded, washed, and then matt black. (2 coats of primer and two coats of black per wheel) They came up like this:

looks pretty good. are there many done up like that in sweden? or is the location a mistake?

Given the volvo in the background and the trees\building style, I would say thats definitely Sweden.

Thankyou, all sorted now.

I was hoping someone could help me out with some information. I have a 1999 Single Cab IFS 3rz hilux and my front end has sagged a little. I want to wind up the torsion bars to bring it back to level with the rear end till I can get the money to do a solid axle conversion. Could someone please help ...

When I made that change on my lux I found I gained around 10% in speed, (ie, if the speedo says 90 i'm doing 99, it it says 100 i'm doing 110), which was the most noticeable thing. In terms of acceleration I won't compare the hilux to the patrol because it's just apples to oranges.

My 99 3rzfe does not have vvti if that clears anything up.

Old wives tale solution, but it works, any glass, any fog.

Take a dry bar of soap, rub it on the side of the glass that is getting fogged, take a soft cloth and wipe it clean, won't fog for weeks. Repeat when it starts fogging again. I used to have a suzi that had this problem really bad, and this ...
