Hilux 4x4 Forum

Hi, I'm the chap, thanks oom Eric.

This is mine, not in as good a shape as oom FD's, but hopefully one day.

My thinking was that they may have been produced in PE, but have no information to collaborate.

Die algemene konsensus is dat die ouer aluminium tappet cover 2.4D (2L) enjin, meer betroubaar is as die "uprated" blik "tappet cover" 2.4D (2L"2")en 2.8D (3L) enjins. Ek dink nie dit is noodwendig so nie, ek dink hul dieselverbruik, en leeftyd is omtrent dieselfde. En ...

Hi folks I have some questions for the experts. Can a rear diff centre portion, from a 2005-2016 Vigo 3.0L D4D or 4.0L V6 Hilux or Fortuner, be retrofitted to an older pre-2005 “import” Hilux (IFS or SFA) or HiAce diff housing? What is the length, wheel mounting surface to wheel mounting surface (WM...

IndianaJones7746

Hi guys, so I know this is not about a Hilux, please forgive me, but it is about a Toyota V8, and since this forum contains so much collective knowledge about Lexus conversions, I need your assistance. So I want to do a Lexus 1UZ VVTi conversion on a 4x2 2800D Colt bakkie, myself. It's a project I'v...

IndianaJones7746

Hi guys Could somebody please clarify for me, which gearbox is used in the 2.7L/3RZ IFS Hilux? And is the same gearbox used in the 2.7VVTi Vigo Hilux? I find some posts on the forum stating it is a G-Series gearbox, other stating it is a W56 gearbox. With the G-series gearboxes supposedly being stro...

Miskien is ek bevooroordeeld omdat ek self 'n blou bakkie het, maar daai bakkie lyk pragtig.

IndianaJones7746

Is al die Land Cruiser bakkie (80's tot nou) remskywe dieselfde?
Is dit die FJ75 remskywe van die ou 3F enjin Cruiser of is dit dieselfde as die nuwer 4.5P DOHC 1FZ Cruisers?

Does no one know what the pre-load or backlash or pinion depth should be?

IndianaJones7746

Hi

Does anyone have torque wrench specs for the local Gearmax differentials?
I would assume the torque specs for all M75, M80/82, etc would be the same?

Torque specs for the bearing cap bolts, crownwheel to differential case bolts, etc
What should the pre-load be on the pinion bearings?

Regards

IndianaJones7746

Not sure, as the LN106 & LN107 was never sold in SA.

I would guess that the LN106 had a solid front axle(SFA) and the LN107 independent front suspension(IFS).

IndianaJones7746

Are you looking for the actual vinyl kits? Then Mr Stripes is a good place to start.... Or are you looking for ideas? Then I would suggest at looking what special packages and decal designs where offered on overseas Hilux, Surf, 4Runner, Tundra and Tacoma, as well as TRD models. Could have a set cus...

IndianaJones7746

I believe the OEM injectors are made by Bosch or JECS or Nippon Denso for Toyota, what if you search by one of their part numbers?

Has anyone used AliExpress or Ebay to obtain parts like these?

IndianaJones7746

I haven't yet ordered OEM parts from overseas, but would be interested to.
Although, I think, shipping costs may be much greater from Japan, than from the USA

Do you have a website you order from Russell?

Not that easy.
Of the "non electrified computorised engine"d vehicles, only the 2.8 and first gen 3.0 Isuzu's has a shot at giving you that consumption figure.

IndianaJones7746

Bedoel jy die Toyota Century met 5.0L 1GZ-FE V12, 310hp?

Daar is 'n span van my dorpie, vanoggend vertrek.
Goue Chev 2500.

Ek weet waarvoor die afkortings staan.

Maar het gedag net IFS's het CV's, maar daar word seker bedoel die Birfiled joint van die SFA.

IndianaJones7746

Noem my blond, ek verstaan nou nie.

SFA CV?

IndianaJones7746

You also need to establish why the head gasket blew. It could be due to old age and corrosion or it could be due to the head warping as a result of overheating. While you have the coolant drained, take the radiator out (quick and easy job) and give it to Silverton to flush and check for leaks. Also...

Na my mening het 'n SVA Hilux, nog met sy oorspronklike "Action Option" strepe, baie "WOW" faktor.

Hi Which 265/65-70/17 All Terrain tyres would you recommend for a heavy vehicle? I'm currently running Dueller D694's, but it balloons too quickly, and I can't deflate it enough for corrugated roads, without worrying about sidewall punctures.

Some friends have a Pajero Sport, very happy with it.

I, myself, have a Pathfinder, bought secondhand.
Very happy with it, was also a lot cheaper, with more spec than similar Fortuner's, when we bought it.

IndianaJones7746

Having a 750kg payload does not mean you have to use a 750kg axle, you can use heavier duty items. It just means that if they do pull you off at a weighbridge, you should be within that limit. Just remember to keep all slips of parts you acquired with the build, the traffic department will ask for i...

IndianaJones7746

AFAIK you are allowed to home build a trailer with a payload of up to 750kgs, any more and you have to be a registered trailer builder.

But others here might know better.

Jy moet maar die onderdele vergelyk met mekaar, maar met die prys verskil, moet mens maar tevrede wees as jy bietjie aanpassings moet maak.

Knippe behoort dieselfde te wees, "fenders" kan dalk kos jy moet bietjie vervorm.

Yes, Oupa Stig, but this is a LHD Hilux, and it is the turbo to intake manifold pipe, that has me wondering.
His Brake booster is also on the left.

I have SFA's with 2L engines, and the Air filter is also front left, battery front right.

IndianaJones7746

Sure it's a 2L-TE, and not a KZ?

IndianaJones7746

+1 on the glow plugs and timer, would check that first, the 2L's I have and had, does want to be glowed with each start.

But there could be other faults.

After I got tired of having to send the copper radiator in my Hilux back to the radiator repair shop, I just bought an imported aluminum radiator, and it works great. If I had to guess, it even runs a little cooler, but it does have a thick core.

IndianaJones7746

It has not been confirmed that Richard Branson wrote that letter.

Remember the recoil when shooting different rifles, can be very misleading.

A benchrest/varmint 308 rifle (heavy) will have a lot less recoil, than a light european 30-06.

So which combination are you going for?

IndianaJones7746

So I've recently been told that Toyota makes such boring cars, and thought let's start this thread.

The general idea is to post some pictures of hot Toyota's, please share your favorite models.

I'll start by posting a few pictures with the help of Speedhunters.

Enjoy!

IndianaJones7746

Any of those are great calibers. Although I'm very partial to my 270, the variety of 308 bullets on offer are much larger, with heavier grains available for Eland/Kudu. Where and what type of hunting will you be doing mostly? Long distance vs bush, or other. Will you be carrying the rifle for long d...
