Re: why is IFS better than solid axle offroad

Basically IFS sux offroad its weak problematic and dosent flex for shit. Rather than trying to start trouble, why not actually read the rest of this thread, which gives good reasoning for both. Why do you honestly care what someone else is running? It's all in the driver, not the truck and if they'...

Put it before the standard radiator cooler - so the oil flows through the aftermarket external cooler then through the factory radiator cooler ok.

Re: Hilux Surf 1KZ-TE Engine Running Temp?

Go drive your truck put your hand on the bottom tank you will actually feel its quite cool nowhere near as hot as up top. Like an engine a trans has a working temp so if your external cooler cools it further than that going through the rad will only bring it slightly back up to correct temperature r...

Re: Hilux Surf 1KZ-TE Engine Running Temp?

When you think about it end of the day your engine is cooled by air(people seem to overlook this), the water is purely there to transfure the heat from the engine via the radiator into the air, more air passing through rad more cooling.You can have the biggest radiator around but if theres #### all ...
