What happens if you pump the brakes? there will be a way of holding the shoes out when not braking whether it's a non return valve of sorts or mechanical adjuster at the brake itself. If this isn't working then you will need to pump the brakes a couple of times to get the shoes out. Pedal would stil...

If they made it $1-$2 a month almost everyone would stay would they not? But $40 is waaaayy to much. What a pain.

Touché photo bucket. Suck us in them hold us ransom. Looks like a paid account is needed for embedding or linking photos. But the account that gets you that is $39.99 a month! So my build thread is buggered now. What other options are out there? Time to get albums back mike? I would rather pay ore t...

If you have the money I would go with on if jarrods. He can sell all the bits you need for it. Worth trying to call Steve Murch as well and ask what he can do new? He is on Facebook under Steve Murch Motorsport get his number off there. Best to try and call him.

Yip that's who he got it off. Certainly better than the modded ct20 and much better than a standard ct20 but not sure if it's worth double

It was a between $600 and $700 with me supplying turbo. I think I mentioned the price later in my thread. Spools up really quick full boost by about 2000 rmp (My rev gauge isn't that accurate) I'm currently running 13PSI with boost compensater and a home EGT tune. A mate of mine had the same motor w...

I had my ct20 turbo modified by Steve Murch. Didn't drive it before so don't know what a standard ones goes like but I'm pretty happy with it. Pics on page 2 of my hilux build.

Time for cross over steer for the farm hack?

A mate of mine has a hilux with a heap of play in the rear diff pinion. Play is up and down. The diff sounds fine, nice and smooth etc.

I was wondering if I should tighten the pinion nut to take up some of the play or if I should just leave it alone?

went to Haast with a few from the shotover club on the weekend. Was a good weekend in the mud. Truck went well. Love the crawlers go great aired down, keen to give them a bit more of a work out on the rocks sometime. Alternator died which was a bit of a pain. Big had to turn around a few times to gi...

An update to this. I have done two things. Firstly I put in a much bigger battery (1100CCA rather than the 600CCA that was in there) which made a BIG difference. The old battery was ok but had been flattened a few times and struggled with the diesel. When I rebuilt my starter the first time I did th...

Yea I saw that. Looks mint but would need certed again I suppose! Not so keen to go down that track.

How easy would it be to connect it for off road only and disconnect on road?

Petemcc

Yea auto locker in the front is a pain but would rather have it than not have it and can't afford a selectable at this stage.

Often the issue is at idle when trying to make a 20 point turn haha. Anybody thought of putting a smaller pulley on the pump to get some more revs?

Petemcc

Hi all, When off road my trucks power steering struggles while going slow with the big wheels and locked front diff all crossed up etc. You often have to really swing on the wheel and the pump gets quite loud as I assume its getting to bypass pressure. I have replaced the pump and steering box which...

V6 prados go great. But our one got between 14-20l per 100km. Normally around 15/16. Heaps of grunt. Really comfy especially if you get a leather one. Toyota traction control is hat to beat off road. Would idle through with two wheels off the ground. Much better than my 2015 dmax. Towed really well.

The mounts on your bottom links look a bit light Glen... Have you considered beefing them up a bit???

Got out for a bit of a drive today. Note to self, don't let old mate Tony drive. Just uploading some videos. Sold the kumhos and got some bighorns with internal bead locks. Very happy with them. Got them 2nd hand but they still had the nipples on them. Truck is going pretty well. http://i958.photobu...

Cheers stu that should do the trick. Will get in touch when I get back down south

Bump. Still looking To be clear I want to fit bearings and seals to my new axles before removing the old ones from my truck so that the truck is only out of action for a couple of hours. To do this I need to get hold of bearing retainers and wheel studs. Then I can get the new ones all sorted and ju...

Petemcc

Yip I have but either a surf or hilux one would work as I only actually need the bearing retainers and wheel studs as I have new axles so axle length no problem. You coming up central over the break? Will have you a call.

Cheers,
Pete

Hi team santa came early and I have some long field axles coming for the rear of the lux. I am after a couple of spare rear hilux axles or even just studs and bearing holders so i can fit the new axles up and swap them out minimising the time the truck is in the garage. Once I'm done I can return wh...

Up the boost to between 12 and 15 by spacing out the waste gate actuator. Then wind up the fuel and play with the boost compensator. Won't be a power house but will go much better.

I wouldn't go much higher than that with The standard turbo

Petemcc

What do Simex/Silverstones cost over there? Seem the be the most popular tyre of choice.

Petemcc

EGT is recommended but if its just a trailer truck and you don't care so much about the motor you would get away without it. Just let it cool down after a good trashing. They can handle high temp for a short time which is what you normally get off road. A boost gauge would be handy as well. Even if ...
