I have KZ-TE hilux with manual locking hubs.
Does anyone have the procedure or steps for replacing the front disk units. Is it a fairly easy job?

Sent from my SM-A705FN using Tapatalk

WayneMan

Sounds like a nice modification. How does it drive compared to a stock standard kzte hilux?

Sent from my SM-A705FN using Tapatalk

WayneMan

I see the 2nd last pic is of an old KZ hilux, but looks like it has been modified, with possibly a top mount inter cooler and air scoop.
Whose vehicle is this and cN unshare with us what mods have been done to the engine.
Is it perhaps a D4D transplant?

I just logged onto that website- very useful in terms of the parts and part numbers, and images and descriptions. At least I can now understand all the parts required and see what they look like.
Enter your VIN and wallah!
Thanks again for the suggestion.

Thanks Tristin
It's at the rear with drum brakes. Would that still apply then? Doesn't ABS only apply to disk brakes?

I need to replace a right rear wheel bearing on my 2005 KZTE 4x4. I don't know where to get it done and what parts to purchase. Ive had conflicting suggestions on what to buy.

Im new to Cape Town and looking for the resident Hilux guru - I got a bit of work to do on my hilux - I need new rear break drums and shoes, and also rear and possibly front wheel bearings. Any suggestions where or who can do this for me?

What causes a radiator to leak?

I'm want to replace my coolantnaustem and radiator pipes of my 2005 KZ hilux. the clamps used to secure the pipes are those fancy jobbies that require a special tool to open and remove. I wanted to know, can I use the common hose clamps u get at a hardware store or midas to secure the pipes instead ...

So i stripped the plug connectors only this evening. They were very dirty.
I tested briefly this evening in the garage and they seem to work, but I need to go driving in the rain to test it thoroughly. Hoping it rains tmrw, then I can drive the Lux.

I was thinking of doing exactly that - stripping the motor and see if there is something a fault.

Hi The windscreen wiper motor stops working intermittently when it rains on my Legend 35 KZ-TE hilux. Do you think it is the motor that is faulty or an electrical problem like a faulty relay? If u wiggle the wiper blade it sometime starts working again and then stops a short while later. Can I buy a...

Silly question but is it the remote control battery that was replaced or was it the big 12v car battery that was replace ?

I have never been to a Ford website or forum. I would never touch a Ford with a ten foot barge pole. So I don't think it has anything to do with your browsing history.

Literally every time I page down I get these adverts .......very annoying indeed. Unfortunately I can seem to attach the screen shots.......I'll try that from a different device later.

Is it just me or does everyone else also get flooded on this forum with FORD adverts ?
Why? I thought this was a Toyota forum?

Curious to know if u found the fault and managed to resolve it?

I used to use the Tap Talk App to access this forum on my mobile phone but it no longer seems to work.
Has it been removed, or have I lost the plot?
I cannot find it - does it perhaps go under another name ?

Im still searching for a KZ-TE D/C fuel tank - does anyone know where I can get one, or is anyone stripping an old KZ-TE ? Most people probably don't know that the Legend 35 vehicles came with an optional larger fuel tank. It was about 2litres larger than the original factory fitted ones. Most peopl...

Im desperately looking for a KZ-TE Legend 35 Fuel Tank (double cab) - does anyone have one in good condition or know where I can get one?

WayneMan

Recently my KZ-TE showed signs of a very slow and gradual leak on the diesel fuel tank. I took it to the agents and also to a private 4x4 company that specialized in fuel tanks to assess. The private company could not find a leak, neither could the agents. Long story short, I took it back to the age...

Hi MD

Thanks very much for the details response.
It is a mild steel tank, an original Toyota part.
I start working on it this weekend and see how this progress.
I picked up the tank yesterday and have not had much time to inspect inside, but that's my chore for the weekend.

Many thanks

WayneMan

Thank you guys for the feed back.
I managed to source a 2nd hand tank from a scrap yard. Just need to figure out how to clean it properly and then ill get it installed.

Hi There The diesel tank on my KZ-TE has sprouted a leak on what seems to be the welded seam (don't ask how or why - I wish I knew myself). I have managed to source a 2nd hand tank with out the knowledge of where it came form or its history, but it looks in relatively good condition. Before having i...

Hi there,

Im urgently looking for a KZ-TE double cab fuel tank - any one got one lying around collecting dust, or perhaps have one stripped from a accident damaged vehicle?
Anyone got contacts in the scrap yard industry who could help source one for me?

Thanks

WayneMan

My fuel tank on my KZTE double cab is cracked on the seam and is leaking. I have not asked the agents for a price on a new one, and Im sure it will cost a bomb! I am going to take the tank to Northern Off Road and they will see if it can be successfully repaired. Failing that, does anyone know I can...

WayneMan

Cool thanks.
Good idea.

WayneMan

Thanks for the advice - whats the reason for drilling a hole before you weld it ?

WayneMan

Anyone know where I can get a KZ-TE (double Cab) fuel tank protector, either an original or an after market. (Its the metal housing that protects the fuel tank that Im looking for). Mine has some fatigue cracks in it, and I want to replace it. I actually cant believe the original one is made so poor...

WayneMan

Ok thanks. I tried pushing a braai mounted on a pole - one of those SAN Parks standard edition braai.

WayneMan

The top section where the dent and scrape is, is steel and I'm looking for a new or send hand one that is undamaged.

Really? From the agents? I've attached an image or 2 of the bumper parts I need. I'm looking for both the upper (steel) and lower (plastic) bumpers.

WayneMan

Anyone got a 2nd hand front bumper set from an IFS Hilux that removed when they installed their the steel bumper? I damaged mine the other day and need to have it repaired but it will possibly need a bit of body putty on the steel section as well as the plastic portion. I don't like this idea and wa...

WayneMan

I think all I should be doing is hooking up one of the beeeeg batteries to a few LEDs so I can see what I'm doing.
What is a very basic or simple solution to charge one or 2 of these batteries via solar? What do I need to aquire and how do I do it?

WayneMan

Thanks for the very thorough explanation. I was thinking along the same lines that even though I have access to very cheap 2nd hand French imported batteries it would still be a very costly exercise to get something working that is compliant and safe. I'm really not too phased about load shedding. D...

I have access to a lot of 2nd hand batteries from a very large commercial UPS. I have no idea how to use them or how to hook them up at home to be beneficial during a power outage. Can someone give a heads up on where to start and how to go about this. I know I will need to get an electrician, maybe...

If it opens over the back of the car, it convenient for some cara like land rovers or where the back doors open side ways. If u got a bakkie with a canopy its mot practical to have the tent hanging over the rear to create shade unlesa u r a midget it is way too low to work under. Hanging over the fr...

WayneMan

Yes u can put on top of the cab. Thats how i have done it often - no problems and many kms travelled. You just need to get load bars mounted bug they are relatively cheap. This allows you to load a 2nd spare wheel on top of the canopy. And you can load your jerry cans, wood or any thing else on top ...
