Lol the question is what can you get for 600 in Toyota lol probably filters. you close to 100k consider the belts... or fluids top up..

[badart]

^ lol true but i dont mind paying a little extra atleast i would get "600" off :/, they replaced most and topped the fluids last service which was last mth, so i would consider belts, maybe brake pads but they seem good so far, any more suggestions?

wiper blades..keep them for stock..they dont spoil lol..

[Team Loco]

True. Buy the oem wiper blades. Nothing lasts better than the oem

[Aaron 2NR]

can these be sourced outside the firm??? i put the michelin on my truck and it's skipping..changed 2 pairs thinking it was a bad set i got

[sweeks]

Yes it be sourced.

Do you guys use RainX?

[FilterProz]

yes I can source them will have some in the country by month's end.

[Aaron 2NR]

ok keep me posted..

[Val]

Those Michelin wipers are the worst. Even the rainbox works better and lasts longer.
The OEM blades always work better though, Federal on Cipero Street has the Nissan and Honda inserts, that's what I use once they have my size.

I use RainX once in a while, makes a big difference, but only lasts a week.

[Aaron 2NR]

^ i already threw my oem's away...never tried the rainx...i have some honda inserts home...id measure them

[Val]

I mean rainx the bottle, and not the wiper btw

[jpec]

anyone knows where a throw out bearing and clutch can be bought besides TOYOTA? and price for each item?

[badart]

^ you could try chaguanas auto supplies,

[toyoman]

dont put exedy clutch and pressure plate on your van....the clutch becomes soft like a fronteir clutch.....see if u get original from toyota or faiz etc.....

[jpec]

Yea they do, they a bit pricey though

[Sansouci]

What are the benefits of the spray-on liner? Is it better than the regular one?

[PariaMan]

Got the HID for the fog light from that place on Monroe Road.

Very easy to install since the HID comes designed for a particular bulb.so it was just a matter of unplugging the old bulb and putting in the new one and connecting the ballast to the old plug

Adjusted the fog light after and the difference was amazing especially when I go country and I need high beam as well as visibility close to the vehicle.

I am 150% satisfied!

Who on this forum has the original disc pads for a LN145 hilux for sale?

[sweeks]

I have pads for the ln166, 167, kz165 and kun 26 (17s).

It's the first that I'm seeing a request for ln145.... Sorry.

Michelin blades are made by Pylon, so use the el-chipo for the same result.

Sweeks I not sure if the LN145 pads are the same as any of the models you have for. Is a TBF 4x2 single cab model I have.

Not it isn't. You're looking for part # 04465‑35020. Those pads last over 100 000km.

I was told by the Toyota service Manager to change my engine oil every 5000km and not every 10000km as i normally do now using http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/dme.aspx.
He said because of the diesel we get in Trinidad it is highly recommended that i do what he says.

2.5 4x4 manual hilux
76000km
What is your take on this folks
