Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Anyone???

Afternoon All, I'm going to invest in an iPhone shortly, and as well as that, I've found a good cradle complete with power in and audio out for the iPhone which I can install in the Hilux as a permanent installation. What I'm wondering though, do the standard Toyota radio's (2008 SR5 model) have an ...

If you wanna buy it for the price listed, or close to it, you can do whatever you want with it, .

New Hilux is noiiiiiiice. Certainly travelling in luxury now compared to the old Rock.

Just bringing it back up to the top.

Any offers or queries even??

Floody

Thanks for the offer Rocky8, but I'd have no use for one, so sales only, .

And apologies if I posted this in the wrong forum. I'm only a part time browser.

Cheers

G'day gents (and any ladies), Well with SR5 Hilux delivery due in the next couple of days, thought I'd do the inevitable and put the Rocky up for sale, :cry:. She's been good to me, with plenty of memories in it, but it's time.... 1993 (August), F78 Rocky, Turbo Diesel, 278,000km's CD Player (4 ...

302 Cruiser, are they SR5 models??

Cheers

Floody

Thanks for the words so far guys. Mmaaxx, exact specs so far of what I've got prices on (and more than likely the final specs) is the SR5 Hilux, Dual Cab, Turbo Diesel, Manual. Accessories are; Bullbar (the forge aluminium one), driving lights, bonnet protector, headlight protectors, weathershields ...

G'day All, Just investigating purchasing a brand new SR5 Hilux, Dual Cab, Turbo Diesel, and would like to hear any experiences with them, be it good or bad. Anything at all which you can share would be great. Looking at adding a bullbar, driving lights, hard cover, plus a few other accessories. Any ...

Was all of about 1 degree cooler. Bugger all temperature difference.

Floody

Would anyone believe me if I said I went for another long drive yesterday, with the air con on the entire way, and could not get that damn temperature needle to move!! I don't know what I did, but it is running perfectly now. Even a touch cooler than before. Do some thermostats require a bit of a ...

Couldn't believe it, . The genuine thermostat is cheaper than the Dayco one I purchased!! It's on it's way. 10 days from Japan.

The alternator, errrrm, ... it was the damn fuse in the voltage regulator. Since when have they put fuses in the voltage regulators....

Floody

Not real keen on operating a diesel without a thermostat. Mainly because it needs to be up at operating temperature, otherwise damage can be done to the engine. And I'm not taking the damn thing out when it's up at normal temperature, ;). Going to try a genuine thermostat first. Right after I get my ...

Christ Ferris, first of all, give the guy a break. He can buy whatever he wants.

And secondly, LEARN SOME ENGLISH! Bit of puncuation would be good.

Floody

Ferris, don't think that would matter, having it on boost all the time. I've put about 80,000km's on my Rocky since I bought it in late 2004. In that 80,000 is about 25,000km's of highway driving around the entirety of Australia, sitting on 100-110km/h all day every day. Problem has only arisen in ...

Have just taken the waterpump off and inspected it. In perfect condition on the inside.

So that rules that one out!

Floody

Yes, you're correct in interpretting my jibberish Murcod, :lol: I'll give a genuine thermostat a go (the one I've got in at the moment is a Dayco), see what results that gives me. The waterpump, don't think it's a genuine one. However it's been working fine up until now. Standard boost, but haven't ...

Thanks for the tips so far. To answer a few questions: - It's the 2.8L Turbo Diesel engine. - Aftermarket thermostat, however the one before it was a genuine one, and it was the worst of the 2 results wise. - It's a viscous hub fan. Appears to be locking up properly, and functioning correctly ...

G'day All, Yes, I'm back with yet another problem for you great people to solve, :armsup:. Here's the issue; I can drive around at 80km/h all day without any problems. But, as soon as I creep the speed up to 100km/h, my temperature rises up so bloody quickly it's at the Hot mark within about 10 ...

Is a turbo diesel.

3 to 5, . I want more than that!

Floody

G'day All, Have been away from the forums for quite some time now, so have missed a fair bit. Ventured into north west QLD, living in lovely Mt Isa. Anyway, reason I thought I'd post, is I'm looking at selling the Rocky, :cry:. She's been a good machine to me over the times (nearly 3 years now), but ...

I had my air con freeze up on me one day (and of all bloody days it had to be when I was driving through north WA on a 40 degree day!! :bad-words:.) in the Rocky. And I had the fan set to a high level too. Easy fix, I had a lot of stuff down around the condenser, and it seemed that when I moved all ...

Like Hotfour said, you'll have to pry it out of my fingers all the way to my grave, . I just posted that to get a better idea of what you were asking for.

Ok, I'll sell it to ya for $500,000, .

Floody

Thanks da60. Found them in the Bosch catalogue, now I've just gotta find someone who stocks them!!

Floody

Not sure what brand mine is, however I have a feeling it's a TJM one.

It was on the vehicle when I bought it. Is this the sort of thing you're after??

Pic below. Ahh by the way, those are my old Hella's on there too, if anyone see's them, can you flog them back for me, please, .

Floody

And after all that time thinking it was in the gearbox....... It was the exhaust bracket that came off the gearbox, :roll:. It was broken, however at the right RPM, it was just vibrating enough to make that disgusting noise, :x. Got it welded back together today, and $20 later, I no longer have that ...

Thanks for the reply's. However went hunting 130W H1 globes, and no one makes them, . The H3's won't fit in them.

So the 100W globes it is then, .

Floody

G'day All, Bought a new set of Cibie Oscar's yesterday after some barstard kindly offered to remove my old Hella's without my knowledge (brackets and all! Nicely cut the wiring too). Planning on buying anti theft nuts for them on Friday to prevent this lot being taken (too expensive to have them ...

And mine goes better off road than yours Hotfour, .

I've seen a Rocky exactly the same as mine, up here, that's in a black/grey scheme. It also has the same light setup as mine on the back. So I think they just went El Cheapo with yours and gave you covers instead of lights, .

Floody

I changed the oil only the other week in it, put in Castrol Ican'trememberthenameofthestuffnow Oil, as changes before were becoming very hard to do. Now, it's working wonders and shifts easily again. I'll keep the redline stuff in mind for the next time I change the oil though. And Hotfour, she sits ...
