[/quote] For a tyre place to do the wheel nuts up so tight with a rattle gun that you shear the head off a Sidchrome wheel brace getting the wheel nuts undone is inexcuseable. [/quote] Pictures of this would be helpfull. I don't know why you constantly carp on about them. JUST SHOP ELSEWHERE ...

thoughts on this yota .... m looking at others with heaps more ks but but a few thousand less,,, overpriced ....... Seems like a tidy truck. But $20 grand For not much more you should be able to get into a later model with similar K's. We sold our 97 a year back with 250 K's on it and a new head ...

I wanted four new tyres for the surf and settle on the Bridgestone Desert Dueler 694, telephoned Firestone and they quoted $285 a tyre so booked it in and got the work done aweek later but then they now wanted $315 a tyre. Verbal quote means nothing to them. Thanks a lot Firestone I won't be back ...

The Destinations are apparently made by Firestone here in NewZealand so you would think they could come up with a tyre that would go the distance on New Zealand roads. Due to the fact that Firestone's customer service were arrogant and quick to point the finger at the way my vehicle was set up ...

Mates truck, had a wee roll over it

If that's a "wee roll over" I'd hate to see a big one!
It's Rooted!
The back wheels are facing the moon.
8 K seems a lot to me but best of luck.

Just got an email back from Toyota.

The cost of a new Short Block for your Hilux would be $3250.00 incl. gst

A new Cylinder Head (Bare) comes in at $865.00 incl gst

We can also supply a set of Gaskets for $185.15

and also a Head Gasket for $105.80

Ring your local Toyota dealer and get a price for a brand new long block.
It may be a bit more money for a new one but a reco is still only a reco.
Just my thoughts.

What year or series?
Petrol or diesel?
