Outer Limits 4x4 Board

put it in the cab...under the seat or something...they dont much like water or mud and in the cab they stay protected.

Doen the 3L to 1KZ-TE swap, had it in and running in a day and a half and people off this board will verify that fact. Although i had the 2000 model 1KZ-TE which is much easier to do than the later fly by wire models. Would recommend the conversion though...cheap and easy...good increase in power ...

we have a place in sydney called CBC bearings, im pretty sure they will have a shop in melbourne too...they are a real big Co. They have all sorts of seals and can order in anything, just take it with you and show them.

what will get you out of trouble to get home is to take the spring out and take out a leaf or two, this will move the U bolt away from the drag link giving you the room to move. This is only a temporary fix, just till you get some of the correct U bolts.

fark the rebuild its waist of money and time. Get hold of a good second hand 3L and put it in yourself. If this process takes you longer than 12 hours something is seriously wrong. Probly cost you $1500 then strip the other one down and sell the parts. I sold a top 3L with the gearbox about 12 ...

As title, need to rewire some ignition relays and other shi@t.

Thanks in advance.

Hey doing up an FJ40 and need new window rubbers, just wondering if anyone knows who sells them.

Thanks Luv to 4B.

Hey i just had my hilux rear diff rebuilt by D & R diffs in Chipping Norton, they were the cheapest i could find and the service was top notch. Glen who i think is the owner is a top bloke who takes the time to explain the whole thing. They dont sponsor me or anything this is not a plug but if ...

Hitachi are mad...have four impact drivers for techscrewing at work...awsome so i bought the rattlegun too for dyna bolts and stuff...like the others....awsome, and cant they put up with a hiding!!!!!

my 2c worth

Having been there and done that i can assure you that you dont need a new harness for a 1KZ-TE conversion, it is true that you have to splice into the old harness in a number of places BUT with the correct diagrams and half a brain this is done quite easily. I conceed that the V8 may be difficult to ...

im stoked to hear that these guys who've turboed their luxes have had such a good experience, however before you rush into things ill offer not necessarily a better view but an alternative for your consideration. I had a 3L and took it out and put in a 1KZ-TE, 3 litre factory turbo diesel, 85Kw ...

Dr Ex, Have 1KZ TE hilux ( factory 3 L turbo), my exhaust temp reaches 500 degs when hauling ass, what is the highest exhaust temp i can run in this motor without seriously putting the motor and turbo at risk, as i plan on turning the boost up a bit (13.5 to 14 psi)? Also i currently run a 2.5 inch ...

A mat just backed into my 4b absolutely farking the TJM brush bar sidestep....does anyone know if you can buy these one at a time like just to replace the damaged one or do you have to replace both?

Thanks in advance. LUV to 4B

Ok time has come im thinking of selling the lux, why you ask, im a bit over the whole 4wd thing. Any way im wondering if people can give me an idea of what you think my car is worth. 1990 SR5 Hilux Duel Cab, factory rigid front axle. Brand new Iron man 2" raised leaves all round ORI 100mm extended ...

Hey time for new leafs all round: am currently running OME 2" lifted springs in rear and iron man 2" lifted fronts. Peformance of both has been good but they have sagged and i need new ones. I carry a bit of weight ie, draws, wheel carrier, steel bar work and winch. I have priced a full set of new ...

is it true that after replacing the uni's in the 2 piece rear shaft on my hilux that i have to have it rebalanced also.

Regards Luv to 4B

It happened after i put the 1KZ-TE motor and gearbox in but i cant uinderstand how it can be anything internal but i am open to sugestions.

Hi i have an LN 106 lux with ORI extended shackles and two inch lifted springs. My car has developed a nasty shudder that has gradually become worse. It is only when i take off, like in first gear. It shudders as i take off but once in second gear and cruising is not noticable. It is worse when the ...

Mine is awsome....i really love it....off road it is farkin awsome it makes the car so much more drivable and now i can drive all over heaps more modded trucks than mine....well worth it. If you are putting it in a gen 3 lux let me know if you want to know anything about the conversion coz me, my ...

Are you sure you bent something and you havn't just put the wheel allignment out? Look for the simple fix first.

the weeping round the uni joint is just the greece comming out of the uni as it heats up and becomes more runny....perfectly normal. The weeping round the swivel hub is an indicator that the axle seals in the front are on the way out as they are letting the diff oil out into the swivel hub and ...

Hey i own a gen 3 1990 SR5 rigid front hilux. This time last year my dad and i converted the 2.8D to a 2000 model 1KZ-TE, the 3 Litre turbo diesel hilux motor and its matching R151 gearbox. Because of the gearing and 33" tyres it is a little sluggish climbing hills on the highway.Thus i want to fit ...

depends on how high you want to go....and that of course depends on what you want to do with the car. Assuming 2" lift you will want a set of two inch lifted springs....not that expensive...ironman are cheap and do the job nicely, some two inch lifted torsion bars and some shocks to match. If this ...

rowan, what you say is right, cruisers are heavier on juice....their a heavier car. dont get me wrong, hiluxes are great trucks...hell i own one. If you find it is too slow turboing is an option...but do consider the conversion i did....only cost me 3k including the whole wrecked 2000 model lux ...

to be honest i can't speak from personal experience but i know a number of people who have done this....even recently to later model 1HZ's in 80 series cruisers with great success. Slow Hilux off this board has done this with an oil/water cooled DTS unit with a 3" mandrel bent exhaust and the thing ...

fuel figures are always different, it comes down to so many variables, driver, vehicle age, weight, majority of driving (HW or round town), modifications etc....all of these things affect the car. I would say if your desperate for a ute buy an older cruiser ute....or if your happy with a wagon your ...

im not saying anyone else is wrong but just offering my experience. When mine, a 1990 model had the 2.8 in it i found it pretty thirsty considering how farking slow it used to go. about 400-450k's from 55 Litres....If you buy a 2.8 just be mindfull that around town their fine but get them on the ...

Thanks jez that makes sence to me....hopefully see you at the challenge later this month.

jus want some advice / tips on installing 50mm dropped hangers in the front of my lux. ive got the dropped drag link and adj torque rod already in bu coz of the way my BB bolts on i cant run a dropped cross member...is the best option just buying the ready made brackets from snake or BBM and welding ...
