How much so you want for a dump pipe? Cheers.

about 20000km, it's an electric speedo though. Cheers

I've got to change the speedo cluster in my 90 series prado and need to wind the replacement one fowards. Any one know how to do it? Cheers (actually want to wind it foward not back like most people)

If you don't mind me asking what have you done for insurance for your work vehicles? Cheers

I have tried AMI, but they said they wouldn't cover a modified vehicle(its only a prado with a few bits and peices bolted on) . Might have to go into a branch and talk to some real people.

I'm going through the same battle at the moment, have tried Barley but they say I need to be part of a 4wd club. Other than insuring through someone like NAC and their massive excess etc I can't get insurance. I've been driving for almost 9 years without a claim, traffic infringment or anthing and ...

Haha, i see a few more tie downs added along the way.

Nah no improvement with the flush, have just had the injectors tested and they're knackered so hopefully a new set will do something.

I've got a 96 1kz prado and its currently getting around the 15l/100k mark, I've got a couple of mates with them and they're easily getting 10l/100k. Running 265/75r16 tyres so not much bigger than standard, it seems a bit excessive to me. Have tried the usual filters etc, and will get the injectors ...

I have another one now, off one thats about to be wrecked. Body is stuffed but the chassis looks alright and hasn't been messed with like that last one, will post pics when as soon as possible.

Now that's a hilux.

Aussie one, the NZ one looks like it was designed by a 6 year old.

Are you still after a chassis? Could possibly have one in Bulls if its any help.

When running the engine with the nose pointing up hill I go around and squeeze all the hoses to help try push all the air out. You can also pressure bleed the system to.

600kms from 72ltrs? Is that around town or caning? Because I'd be hoping for like 700km from that much cruising, 800kms can be easily achieved from a tank cruising normally in a LWB with over 300000ks. Mates SWB model runs at 8L/100km open road.

How did you mount the bash plate? Looking at doing something similar and keen for ideas. Cheers

Cheers, i had that thort as well and gave it a crack. Thought it was mint but seems to be back to its old tricks. Can't work it out, some times its mint and other times its rough.

I've got a 96 90 series prado, its really harsh in the gear shifts. Especially when hitting overdrive, or shifting up from 1st to 2nd manually etc. The trans has had a flush and filter change but it hasn't helped, any ideas on where to go to from here? Thanks in advance.

How well did the superwinch mount on that bar? Im looking at doing the same thing this week. Whats it like for access to the clutch lever? Also how do you like the OME suspension in it, im very keen for some just haven't balls'd up enough to get a price yet. Cheers

For the same money your going to get a much nicer vehicle in a surf, so unless you really need a deck for loading up with with crap then there is heaps of room in the back of a surf and it keeps everything nice and dry to. And for comfort a surf will run rings around a ute of that vintage.

Im having the same problem, mateone gets a regular 750km from about 75ltrs. Im tapped at 650 on the open road. Not sure whats wrong either, have tried all the filters etc.

what about those clip on duals as well maybe???

What size tyres are you running on that surf? Did they throw the fuel consumption out much? Cheers

A mate just did one, he just brought a hole surf that was no longer road legal and swaped the loom, eng, trans and all over. Other than cutting the engine mounts off the parts surf and welding them into the old 2.4 chassie it was preatty straight foward. Then you come out of it with a spare surf to ...

Drove kaweka road near from Taihape, coming out on manui road near Mangaweka. Cool drive, few road works were needed but not to bad.

Cool, did those injectors do much?

yea, I have given it a good hammering now. I never seem to be able to get what I want out of search engine, but I'm getting better at talking to them:) Cheers.

Cheers, those photos are great. Yea i've just cut the top off a standard tappet cover, is there any special reason for the different throttle body? Just thinking I could make up a flange to mate the standard one to the intercooler.

Im looking at putting an intercooler of a prado on the surf, but hear that the inlet manifolds are different between the intercooled and non intercooled 1kz. Anybody know what the difference between the 2 is? Cheers
