I was thinking of replacing the 3 hole scoop (Toyota bulge), on my Hilux, with the 4 hole scoop.
Has anyone does this modification? I found nothing on the forum.
Having done some research it seems to be more involved than I thought and wondered if it would be worth it?
Thanks.

Can you fit an entertainment battery in the engine bay of the Revo 2.8?
If so what size battery? Rumour has it that a 105 ah is too big.
In addition who has a battery mounting bracket?

Re: Digital Two-Way Radios Audio Clip
I can vouch for the digital clarity, it is really good.
I bought two radios from a Eric for a recent trip and really enjoyed the clear voice communication we had.
I was under the impression, perhaps wrongly so, that the range would be better than my old analogue but it was similar.

Mine is 2011 model and is 275mm.
The first time I ordered a kit, a few years ago, a 260mm arrived as that seemed to be the standard as mentioned, at that time. The after market catalogues only showed the 265mm. Now most catalogues show both.

Re: No water in radiator what could cause this?
These days it is almost a pointless exercise to flush a radiator as the tubes in the radiator core are are so thin (very small internal volume) that they block up extrEmely easily. No flushing will get the particles out and replacement is the best option.
