Hey guys! Way going thru my portable hdd and just came across some drawings I did for a rear bumper for my IMV Hilux a few years ago. Never got a chance to build it. Got a job abroad and had to sell the vehicle :cry: Figured I'd post it so hopefully someone can use it. The design was to use 2" ...
Where I am here in Africa is Toyota Nation. IMV hilux galore, a few LN16*. Land Crusiers and Prados of all ages and trim levels. I have been meaning to take a photo of the carpark to post for a while now. Lol! Now and then you will see a L200...
Man I was secretly hoping this Surf would still be available when I come home in December. Ah well... With respect to the engine swap check the GB model on the engine bay name plate (if its still there) or use your chassis # on a site like www.toyodiy.com. I thinking a 3L will work...
Need some advice guys! Starting a new job abroad. 3 months abroad and 1 month home. So I want to know if there are any special requirements for leaving my pickup parked up for 3 months. It is a 2.5L D4D not sure if that's important. Lol! Anyway, should the fuel tank be full or close to empty? There ...
I have come across alot of people who were confused about this as well MGW (Maximum Gross Weight) or GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) is the maximum design weight of Truck, Payload, Fuel and Driver. Even though there is a safety factor in design this GVW/ MGW is used to design frame rails and other struct...
One is 18... Old enough to get charged for wasting police resources. After all the missing ppl in this country these girls pull a stunt like this regardless of the circumstances. No shame....
If it turns out that my insurance company doesn't have to pay anything and ideally the other parties' insurance covers my damage. Do I still lose my no claim disc?
So guys I need some help! A guy ran into the back of my poor Hilux today-to think I wash and polish yesterday. Anyway on the McBean stretch a Cedia hit the H100 (actually end up under the axle) and the H100 hit me. My bumper damaged, tailgate cant open fully to horizontal position. So we all went to...
It turns out it was a bad fuel situation. TTTL ran diagnostics and gave me a quote to remove and flush rail and injectors. Haven't done it yet tho. Filled a fresh tank of fuel and no more problems. I had filled at Gypsy in Couva before the problem started. Not going there again nah....Working and li...
Guys I just started having a problem with my 2.5L 4x4 4dr Hilux. The van is 9 months old and doing around 27K km. When starting from a cold engine, after a few minutes of driving the engine suddenly loses power and the engine check light comes on. Once I switch off and restart, it drives normally (r...
Guys, I recently installed the foglights I bought from a fellow tuner for the Hilux. This uses a push button switch to turn the lights on and off. The original has a rotary switch on the light stem for indicator etc. My question is how to get the foglight indicator light on the instrument panel work...
If is glass alone you can get that cut and replaced easily. For the whole assembly brand new, check 4x4 Trinidad. Had to change mine recently, unfortunately I went to Toyota when there prices were close to 40% less at 4x4 Trinidad.
So guys I saw an ad in the Express for another of the Chinese pickups today. The Gonow. 4 versions available. The one that caught my eye however, was the 2x2 for $90,000. What is a 2x2 an offroad bike or something? Had me laughing this morning.
Guys, just got my new 2.5 Hilux. To make it a bit easier for the sig. other to drive I am looking for a couple of things. First off, reverse sensors. My salesman told me he could have them installed for $1800. Can I get them cheaper elsewhere? The second I am not sure is available. Can you get a kit...
I have a box out of a Surf with a busted bellhousing. The box is the electronic shift between 4WD and 2WD with the manual lever inside selecting either high range or low range. PM me if you interested.
Was browsing the forums and came across this one. Have a similar 'horror' story. My Tranny failed this week as well no signs of impending doom either. The car is doing 110K. CS3A Singapore model. 2 years in Trinidad. Sunday evening just felt a jerk as I was pulling in the driveway but didn't think i...
Hey guys! didnt go thru the entire thread so not sure if my question here already. My roro CS3 approaching 100K. What does this service entail? Does anyone have a copy of the manual they are willing to share?
Aye TL.... What gearbox you running in that lux? My 3L has a G52 mated to it right now. Thinking bout doing the turbo install but not sure bout the strength of the box. How is yours?
Guys I just brought my first pick up (used btw) a 1999 4dr 4wd Hilux with the 2.9 naturally aspirated diesel engine. Not sure if is the original tranny tho. It currently has electronic 4wd 2wd shift with a manual range shift. The electronic shift motor on the T-case giving me real beans. Need to get...
