If that was true then it wouldnt leave alot of room for standard suspension travel, mines also lifted 2 inch an its all good

You'll have to make new holes for the headlight mounts, its not as easy as it sounds, Ive seen a few 2wd hiluxs with the kzn130 front and all used the surf front panel for the headlights to fit properly

Hey all, recently my torque converter has stopped locking up above 85k, at first it started doing it every now an then, but now it doesnt lock at all, even when out of O/D. Fluid level is good, stall tests were ok, im out of ideas and my workshop manual doesnt seem to have anything in it about the ...

Rear diff blown, h4L locks the centre diff.
Put it in gear in 2wd and check if the drive shaft is spinning but no drive

it should not spin freely they do spin fairly freely when not needed. There is a valve inside the viscous hub which can be tweaked so it starts to lock up at a lower temp, also the fan hubs are underfilled from factory. Turbo down pipe is a bit on the small side, I have been told that the prado's ...

15s wont fit over the calipers, 16s are your only option really

a mate of mine has a waeco in the back of his ute, not sure wat model but it works mint, has put in a seperate battery jus to run it and has it wired to the ute battery with a vsr so it wont flatten the ute battery

One like this? Hi Gemma

funny lookin kitchen

n/a diesels with a pod filter are normal to be loud and droney

wheel base is to short for a double cab, back wheels are to far forward

I wouldnt recoment using these to lift a truck, in a lowered ute the weight on the block is only how much the u bolts have been tighted, on a 4wd it will have the weight of the vehicle aswell, wouldnt take long to fail

Considering these motors blow heads in standard guise regularly i'd be pretty wary winding it up to high. the overheating is caused by a useless fan hub and driving with ya foot hard up it, i refilled my fan hub, put in a boost gauge and towed a fairmont back from nelson with no problems at all ...

iv read that the factory efi setup will limit it to 14psi, can only get it higher with a mechanical fuel pump, 20psi would be safe, i wouldnt wana go much higher though

hey all, im lookin for a 2wd uf courier chassis with leafs and front suspension, bit of a long shot posting here, but dont know if i dont try right

hahaha cheeky bastard

this sorta thing is why i like living where i do, its not unusual for my truck to have the keys left in the ignition overnight

sounds a but high to me, maybe they have a different ratio diff for auto and manual?

ive got a viair compressor and 5 gallon air tank on my courier minitruck, duno what they would be like for pumping up tyres, but ot gets bit of a work out when being a bit switch happy lol
check out www.westcoasthoppers.co.nz might be able to find what ya looking for

Havent done a compression test but that is next on the list. Correct blue smoke is burnt oil which points me away from the fuel system. and no the oil hasnt been over filled. Im starting to think along the lines of a cracked ring or something like that? do these engines ever have any problems with ...

Seems to be the viscous hub thats the major factor to the overheating, mine is poked aswell, was told by toyota that the kzn185 fan hubs cant be serviced new ones arent cheap iv also herd that a kzn165 hilux radiator will help alot, just need to swap bottom tanks over for trans cooler if auto, the ...

from memory i think the code your looking for is 3E5

low compression? blocked injectors? injector pump? thats what id be looking at for a start. Blue smoke is burnt oil correct? (im sure someone will correct me if im wrong )

im looking at doing a 3 inch in my kzn185, much of a gain? would it be worth doing?

make a tank out of a old keg and have it polished, seen it done on a courier that had a rotor in it, dont think it would last to long tho lol

cockeye creek is pretty crap now, we went in a few weeks back, just miles of overgrown gorse, near the end of the track is blocked by trees

could be 4 wagons from greymouth keen for this, will have to decide closer to the time tho.
waipuna caves are pretty awesome, cockeye creek is bollocks, went in there today, just miles of overgrown gorse and bush, hated it

that would have to be the stupidest farken thing i have ever seen, someone needs to be shot. lest ya wont get wet floors when ya float across the river i dont think the owner knows a thing about it what so ever "it has a very well made subframe to lift body from chassis" translation: "im a muppet ...

it has changed alot since i last been thru there, that fella that does the training has ruined it a bit, but getsum is right there is some good wee side tracks, we never went down any of them though, next time we go through we will we exploring the side tracks a bit more theres some good tracks off ...

today me and my brother decided to go for a wee drive through the noname, managed to get right through so off to the taipo we went. Didnt get right to the end of the taipo, river was a tad high and flowing very fast, will try it again after we have some good weather. pics mines the blue, my brothers ...
