I was close though without looking at the spec sheet.

I went hunting to make sure... Coz i was sure the ebay add said 70-100

Had me worried for a sec

70-100psi for the CKMA12 / 24

Thanks for the pics, some nice setups there :)

Might have to get under the surf and see where I can mount a tank.

Cargo space is so bloody small in the surf (especially with a sub and speaker pods) that I'd rather run the tank outside the car.

Just a question with setup. (probably a stupid ...

youll also need to take into account the new arb compressors cap at 80psi. so you'd need about twice to three times the volume of a tyre to even consider it for airing up.

The pressure switch that it comes with is 70-100PSI. Are you looking at the right model?

I think there is a smaller version ...

Hi All

Looking at getting a CKMA12 compressor from ARB to finally hook up my air locker.

Thought while im doing it I might as well investigate air tanks.

Anyone running a tank similar to :http://cgi.ebay.com.au/3ltr-Air-Tank-Kit-Landcrusier-Patrol-Hilux-Navara-Rodeo ...

Thanks for the offer but I'm getting the airlocker put in on Monday.

Not by those crooks at arb though. Wombat offroad is doing it for a decent price

The surf diff is the same as a the 4runner diff yeah?

Chick at the diff joint is having problems finding a supplier. For some reason she is having trouble finding parts, nothing is listed under surf (duh) and they wont confirm anything else.

I thought the IFS diffs are pretty much the same in 7.5 ...

in good ole arb overcharging fashion....

1219 for the locker and then 80 an hour to fit it

The old lux had a front locker, cant go wrong with a front.

Hrm I wonder how much ARB are going to sting me if i stick my diff on their counter..

Meh well i dropped the diff... and its bad news all round.

Yes the diff is borked :bad-words:

BUT

Its the spider gears, which mean do i spend 450 for a s/h diff, or 1200 + whatever ARB are gonna sting me to wack an airlocker in (its just the spider gears they change ive been told)

So now i have ...

I've got fixed hubs, and 2wd works (always thought these things were ment to be a constant 4x4)

I didnt try highrange 4x4 as i was being towed up a hill so just wacked it in High 2..

I must say, having a rear winch rocks! (not me, the people towing me)

Now that the car is finally in the garage i ...

/cry

aint it always the way :(

Todays pop quizz...

What in the front end goes POP, wont carry on in low range under no load, wont go up a track on low range under load.... Drives all the way home in highrange without stuttering, shuddering or carrying on?

I dont think I have any drive to the front, I'm really hoping i've ...

I'm picking up a 1995 3l TD surf on Tuesday.

Has stock exhaust on it atm..

Im wondering what the costs will be to wack a decent system on it... Not overly fussed about the noise, I've got extractors on my hilux now that are loud.

Probably run stock boost on it now (may change it later) so would ...

have you guys got some articulation shots with the 4" lift? Especially the front im interested in.

Looking at getting a surf and wacking on a 4" IFS lift possibly..

Available in australia is the Skyjacker class II 4" IFS lift
prices start at $1815, you will gain more flex on the front and if you install lockers front and rear you will have a capable rig.

depends on how hard you want to drive it off road and what terrain you are driving.

Much cheaper then ...

Yup, and the lift kit is 3k or so from Snake.....

Which was leading me in to the next question.. How do they perform with those fancy fandangled lift kits?

argh!

You guys arent making it any easier :-P

I spose i have the GSXR and the missus car for going quick in... And she wants to get a ute (working on the V8 :D )

At the end of the day Id be happy with working aircon and power steering.. OH yeah.. gimmie that power steering... :D

Non power ...

Thanks for all the replies.

I am a bit wary of Diesel. Heard maintenance costs are quite high compared to petrol/LPG. Also heard you need to service the deisels more often... Be interested in hearing the thoughts of deisel owners on that :)

I really want the onroad power. My current lux has enough ...

Hi All,

Been thinking about upgrading my 86 hilux to a newer surf or 4 runner.

From what i've seen, most Surf's are 4cyl and 4runners v6's

Id rather petrol then diesel, and I dont really care about 3k to lift the front and rear of an IFS (going off the price of the kit from snake)

I like the ...

Hi All,

Some prick tried to break in to my lux and broke the little window on the driver side... :(

I was wondering.. Whats going to be easier, Replacing the glass or just replacing the entire assembly? Will cost me $45 for just the glass, and $65 for the assembly.

Oh yeah.. Its a 86 x-cab ...

Hi All,

This morning i had the delightful experience of brake failure...

Found the problem, one of the steel brake lines was rubbing against the vaccuum thingy(tm) and had worn all the way through....

I have a 86 toyota hilux (Sr5, YN67) and was wondering if anyone knew what the thread size is of ...

On the way out??.

To Quote the mech "The thermostate in the choke is weak"

He went to explain this is why the choke takes forever, if at all, to turn off.


I had an 18r carb under the bench,so i took the electric choke setup off that and put it on his and away she went.

Ahh excellent ...

I have a 86 Toyota Hilux Sr5 xcab (YN67) with a 4yc motor....

My autochoke is on the way out, does anyone know of an autochoke from a later model car that will fit? My mechanic can get an autochoke imported from Japan i think.. but its $250+

Thanks.

so 4runner seats bolt up to extra cab? I no they don`t bolt up to dual cab

The surf ones didnt. Drivers side did, needed to drill a hole because the passenger side rails on the surf seats were smaller.

So if 4runner seats are the same as surf, 4runner seats wont bolt straigt in.

The ...

as long as they're comfy I'm happy.

If the 4runner seats are anything like the hilux ones... then a few rusty nails are probably more comfy

Not sure if mine are the recaros... but the features for the driver side:

Adjustable Head rest angle and Height
Lumbar Support
Adjustable side ...

I'll second that..... Really comfy too. I put them in my hilux last year, paid $250 for the pair

When all else fails......... Oxy and a 20tonne press......
