Hi guys has anyone experienced slight vibration coming from the front prop after fitting lift spacers in the front.? I have slight vibration between 50 and 60kmph and if I just slightly pull my 4x lever while this vibration happens it disappears.

Any Hilux owner 2011 onwards willing to take a pic of the info under your spare wheel, should be several markings on the rim, would to compare with mine.

justaguy

The original rims are indeed made locally. All the local mags (made in the same factory) have the same emblem appearing on the rim. Most likely on the outside and it looks something like a cursive M with a little tail on. Will see if I can take a pic on my rims of the emblem. Hi Mars i know the sig...

Here are the pics of the information on the rim .

I will take a pic and post what i have , I purchased what the seller told me were genuine rims and i did not think twice about it but since looking around I have discovered that there are replicas that look identical and now im trying to find out if mine are indeed genuine or not .

Hi Guys Does anyone know how to tell the difference between an original Toyota rim and a copy ? Gumtree is full of okes selling 17" Hilux / Fortuner rims but they are not genuine Toyota rims. If a guy is telling you it is genuine how do you know , other than buying at the dealer for crazy money...

Hi Philly is your fuel pump still working ?

Hi Guys What are the thoughts on toyota saying that it is not necessary to change transmission oil on the auto box`s as it is designed to last the life of a vehicle. Some auto`s out there have done 500,000 km or more how can this oil last so long? I have a 2008 v6 auto with 140,000km now and i was w...

the fuel pump normally only kaks when a long range tank was fitted and metal dust and particals were left in the tank after drilling , i replaced my pump at 110,000 , the filter was full of metal pices , i do not think it is your pump if you just have the std tank , also if it is your fuel pump you ...
