Hilux 4x4 Forum

Thanx for the info. Long story short. Went to toyota, ordered the seals and packing. Waited 3 days. Paid R3500 for the 2 knuckle gaskets with the felt and also the extra set with the shim plates. Bearings got from border bearings in cambridge. Only R1200. Stripped the driver wheel, was amazed how th...

Hi chaps... Now i read a post where someone said you can change the sfa import diffs crown nd pinion with the vigo ones. Ive done research on the net and come up empty handed... Has any1 done this before? And which model hilux exactly is the vigo? The d4d? Reason i want to do the change is that she ...

Update... went and bought another pump... when i stripped the old one i noticed there was muck stuck there. Cleaned it out. Put it back and now she runs better than ever before. Will keep other pump as a spare as i only paid 600 for it from a connection. Also noticed my temperature has dropped quite...

Mmm.... i did not check if its blocked. Wasnt sure what its for. So must be blocked if it keeps so much pressure.
And also did not check the flow from the elbow... assumed it would be fine as i forced the fuel pipe on it

Good day all... Ive recently learned that my electric fuel pump has a low pressure suction action which in turn has made my pump make a hell of a noise when i switch it on... These pumps battle to suck up out of the tank and and hence the problem... Ive done some research and heres what ive done.. R...

Hi guys... I got a sfa lexus with a kz box. Thinking of getting kz diffs front and back as my ratio is very short. Or otherwise just a kz rear diff lock. Will the ratios meet up with the current front diff then??? I currently got the import diff. Should or can i swop it for the kz diffs or will i lo...

Ive downloaded and printed the manual how to service the diffs etc. Sure i can sort that out.... my worries is the box. Mumming quite a bit. But quite when clutch depressed. Sounds like release bearing but as soon as you pull off it sounds like it grinds... Where do i post if anyone has a gilo made ...

It is the kz box i have. Guy i bought motor from said he messed up 2 sfa boxes with this motor..... who knows... maybe also a "skew" bellhousing

Sent from my SM-G800F using Tapatalk

Update.... Saw the chap... reckons my box is packing up. Apparantly turbotoys were selling bellhousings which wernt skimed properly. Hence my 4th gear jumps out which runs on the main output shaft from motor. Lots of play on right front wheel where the shims were missing. Need full bearing set.... a...

Haha did the pic give it away?

Sometimes wonder if its not just easier and less p.t to just install ford v6. No ecu problems.... 2 cams not 4. Less valves less fuel consumption... etc etc.... sigh

Finally found a pic of the box nd bellhousing before installation.

Hi all. Ive inspected my front diff the other day and noticed where the steering arm bolts ontop of the diff theres a gap. Mate told me there must be shim plates in there. If true where can i get. And would it have created any damage till now? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170304/e743f45b92bc56...
