You say you have been doing river crossings.... Have you extended the diff breather lines? If not the hot diff can suck in water as it is rapidly cooled when under water...It can suck it thru pinion seals, bearing seals not just back thru the breather line. This water can also change the levels in t...

Need a few more Mods to jump on and purge them.....

A winch on a RAV4, sounds more like a Tui ad. Would be fun to watch somebody attempting doing it though. Careful there ! I took the Rav around on our Xmas run and it did quite well.... Even drove some hills the big boys were having a few attempts at... :mrgreen: But I would go for the Suzuki.... Ne...

If you need more punch replacing the turbo dump pipe and exhaust system makes a difference... Dump pipe has a huge restriction in it.... Also adjusting the turbo boost as close to 15 psi max before the fuel cut kicks in makes good on a stock vehicle... There are also ECU chips available which change...

To be honest if you are doing the top mount for off road use... forget it.... not enough airflow and it turns into an interheater... If its just for daily use.... thats fine.... I got rid of the top mount and installed a water to air.... seems to be more stable even on off road situations... Yes the...

Calvin, in your IC thread I read you had to shorten the oil pipe on the inside? Spacewise I saw you have a 30mm lift, did you have to change something with the steering or just lift? thx mate Yes I had to cut off a bit of the pipe.... Pretty simple stuff... As for the body lift.... Yup it had a 30m...

Interesting, the rocker cover you have has the pipe at the hump, mine has the pipe at the rear drivers side. So when I chopped the hump off it was not an issue...

Quick update... Have 3 weeks off work. Hitting the painting hard... Got cab painted last week.... Few rough spots but its a play truck eh?... This week its doors, bonnet and front clip...

Truck primed in the week, ready for a rub down over the weekend....

Have done a search of the net, some auto's also had a speed sensor in them and you ended up with a 6 pin plug as opposed to the 3 pin...
The Lj and KZJ have the speed sensor in the adaptor between the auto and the transfer case... so there is a separate plug.

I think the Lexus ones run 4 solinoids one is for pressure regulator. The 3 solinoid units have a cable which does the line pressure. So maybe the 4th one needs a 12 v supply?

There is a 12v supply to the position switch.

Here is a pic of the plug.... You can work out from it which one is what

The auto is ECU controlled so it doesn't take an input directly from shifter... Unless you are manualizing it... here is some info on the auto for you. http://www.autoshop101.com/forms/h16.pdf Or if you are trying to manualise it here is my attempt at it. http://www.mediafire.com/view/i4p7hbbpidq72h...

Its been a weekend of sanding and bogging up the dents in my Playdoh.... Ready for a repaint ... Don't have any fingerprints now.. lol....

First you need to confirm it is a BSP thread...or BSPT (T = tapered) The drill size for tapping a 1/8th BSP or BSPT is 8.8mm so says the cart below. http://www.tap-die.com/contents/en-uk/d297_Tap_Die_Company_Tapping_Drill_Sizes.html Whatever you have you need to rock into an engineering supplier and...

When I ran an electric winch I fully sealed the motor and tapped in a hose fitting in the end cap.... It never got water in it when I had it.... As for the gear box end.... Just made sure it had a coating of grease....(not packed full) (Warn Xd9000i) You can see the hose fitting in the brush cover t...

I have one of these... http://www.trademe.co.nz/business-farming-industry/industrial/manufacturing-metalwork/welders/auction-1022169413.htm Struggles a bit on the thick 10mm stuff.....But is only occasionally for me.... If you are using it regularly spend the coin and get a good one. You will also n...

Why can't you just clock the old fan a bit and drill new holes?

kbushnz

I think you need to be in low range for it to work. and if you have after market hubs fitted you need the Hub lock Switch in. And also drive slowly.... You can defeat the 4WD bit by shorting out a pin on the locker controller from memory.... Did it to mine. Here is a good write up for a retro fit.....

kbushnz

It's the same auto. Number changes depending on what transfer case is attached to it / combo. Mine is an A343f too from memory but the base model is the A340e which is used in numerous vehicles including other brands.

I was given one of these...

Should do the trick.....

Do you have any good links, I need to do this to mine. Matt Was going to try something like this... http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/toyota-truck-4runner/1135434-e-locker-air-locker-conversion.html But have the actuator directly drive the shaft... not via rods... Like this http://forum.difflock.com/v...

Good luck they are pretty rare....
I plan to go air operated when mine packs up.... some info on the net about it.... Mainly for the 80 series and tacoma's in the states.

Well bit of an update... Done some more stuff..... Rear cage finally completed, radiator fitted and fans. Also painted the rear panel so I could fit the rear cage for the final time. Now rather than retype all my stuff I have updated a thread on another forum. Would love to use this one but adding p...

Probably need to go to Toyota.... Did you try Don Kyatts? (NZ Bus and Truck) they have all things toyota.

Have a read thru this site... http://www.gearinstalls.com/ Setting up a diff is not a straight forward job... lots of bits to set up.. Pinion depth, backlash, bearing preload. Get any one of them wrong and you run the risk of turning your new gears into grinding paste. You might want to down load a ...

I would be giving it a big clean to confirm where its coming from. But oil from the intake area is normal on a TD... Crankcase oil vapour gets plumbed back into the inlet system and puts a light coat of oil all over the inlet manifold on the inside. With boost pressure coming on it can force oil out...
