Hi mate i`ve got a 1ltr ute with a 5k liteace motor (1500cc) & 5 speed box.

Uses a modified sierra radiator - bottom tube swapped to opposite side (see pic) with a thermo fan. This setup gets too hot in summer as there is not enough water capacity to cool effectively. I will probably change to a ...

Yep mate, 33`s on speedy 15x8 with 25mm offset rims.

Just put one of Just Cruzins bodylift kits (from Outers) on my ute today. Very impressed ........ As the last three bodylifts i`ve done in the past on other zooks were using GRP Auto`s old kit with the square box section & cutting off the captive bolts etc (a nightmare for those who know what i mean ...

Got any pics of this - What year lux shaft can you use for a 1tr NT

A Question - can you fit a hilux shaft to the rear of a 1.0L 85 NT Ute?

After doing a search only its only works on a 1.3 wide track late models only?

need a reco NT complete center (84 model ute) i think its a 4.1 as per bible & when i counted the turns.....but some said that 3.9`s were in the NT also???

how can you tell the difference between 3.9 & 4.1 by looking at the center.

Can someone give me contact details of anyone who does exchange complete reco centers for a NT zooks that they have dealt with

I`ve printed out the contact list in the bible but this will save me a heap of phone calls (could even update the bible with this)

Cheers Daas.

Got into it early this mornig with a old chisel & hammer...definately the go came up easy.

Found some decent rust in the corner under the pedals but not too bad for a 21 year old ute owed by a fisherman.

Cleaned up with turps.

I want to scape all ...

Anyone know how much roughly to get rear diff pinion bearings done??

My rear diff has lots of freeplay where the driveshaft bolts on the diff. I`m guessing it is the pinion bearings but i`ve got no idea what a diff looks like pulled apart or mechanically how they work.

Got a rough quote from a ...

Thanks fella....those 60mm 45deg pipe are the go.

Grimbo...quick question, with your 5k coversion how did you connect the lower radiator hose to the engine as the zook radiator inlet & outlet are on the same side or did you do a radiator swap???
Could you post a pic if you have one of your ...

Trying to get idea`s for a airbox pipe as the other one is rooted (see below)...It is not a stocko pipe due to 5k engine conversion.

I need something that has a 60mm inner diameter.

Only thing i can come up with is wire reinforced flexible radiator hose from clark rubber....but i think it will be ...

just a phone call to Natrad...they quoted $406. I think she was on drugs ha ha...

Cheers Daas.

Hey Toyo Truck when your 4by starts dieing & splutters do you have to keep pumping the throttle constantly to keep it running?????????
I had this problem on my 85 4-runner & it pissed me off, would be fine for a while then all of the sudden it would happen again (6 month of it).
I replaced fuel ...

15x10`s Are the Go, I run them on an 85 live axle 4-runner, the front rims rubbed on the disk callipers (I have upgraded to vented discs) so grinded off 3mm the top edge. I run only 33`s but the stability now makes a huge difference over the old 7 inches steelies .
