Had a look at a surf today

Looked at a surf today for brother in law and got a few questions.

It looked like it had dual batteries factory however there is no isolator inbetween the two? is this right?

it had a button that had hard/soft on it and a little pic of a shockie, how does it adjust the suspension?

should the button on the 4WD shifter make it in H4 then move it forward for L4


Why oh why did Toyota make a blood red interior for a vehicle that is painted red?????????? seems like a perfect serial killers car

Other than that they are a nice car to drive but a bit sluggish down low

** this is factory and it is normal for no isolator switch

** yes it does adjust the shocks from a hard and sost setting (hard onroad soft offroad)

should the button on the 4WD shifter make it in H4 then move it forward for L4

** yes that is correct

** cause they're bloody idiots

** get a bleed valve and adjust it to 10lb (they're about 6lb standard) and get a 2 3/4" exhaust with a strait through muffler and you will notice a big difference in power and feul economy (at least i did when i did mine)

i think the dual batteries came with the winter pack so it may have other goodies like fuel heaters.

EGR and butterfly mods are the first thing to do. while your doing that check the inlet manifold and see how much crud is built up in it.

which model/engine one did you have a look at ?

Its not for me, i wouldnt be caught dead in a heap of shit toyota, i actually considered wearing a balaclava to test drive it. I dont need photos of me in compromising situations turning up on the internet, have you seen what the media did to Paris Hilton


This will stay stock as a rock as its only gonna be used to go up goat tracks and shit, mainly on road use but L4 will get used


Thanks for the info guys, ill pass it on.

Only if the original shocks are still there.
