My 2001 KZ-TE 4x4 have passed 200 000 km two weeks ago and I am preparing him for a long trip to Tanzania and back.
Should I look at replacing wheel bearings?
I have drained all oils, engine, diffs, gearboxes and did the normal service, grease etc.
What else should be done / checked before this trip?
I would prefer to do it now at home and not somewhere next to the road under a tree.
What spares should I take with on the trip?
Regards,
Hannes

Re: KZ-TE wheel bearings
I would just get it checked by an expert............Should I look at replacing wheel bearings?
I don't know the Toyota dealerships up here but I would try and get in touch with a Toyota workshop manager and ask for advice or ask hoppy on this forum - He will be able to helpWhat spares should I take with on the trip?
Cheers,
Jaco
