I've seen a trailer made from a hiulx tub. It used the rear part of a hilux chassis, so the tray bolted straight up to the chassis. They built a tool box onto the front over the draw bar. It also used the same leafs as a hilux and had a towbar. It looked really neat and would be good for parts...

As most peolpe know a turbo timer allows your engine to run for a pre-set time once the ignition circuit is turned off. The principle purpose of a turbo timer is to prevent damage to the turbo and exhaust manifold caused by shutting down the engine to soon. The idea is that by the time the turbo...

I was only suggesting a simple work around for people to use in the mean time. I understand that differences in ambient temperature will make a difference to the time it takes for your engine to cool down. However there isn't a smart timer available yet, so the way I mentioned could be a short...

You could get around it by setting the turbo timer to run for the period required to bring these temps back down. You would need to be able to read the oil and coolant temps as well as your EGT. Simply go for a normal drive and then once in a suitable place (home?) let the engine idle till the...

I've always been taught that to shut down the diesels at work that the Oil Temp and Coolant temp should be below 75 The EGT's should be at an acceptable level by then. A good rule to follow when shutting down your engine is that your coolant temp and oil temp shouldn't raise more than 5...

Some of the hilux

A couple of when I pinched it of the missus for the day. One of the boys is driving it New safari snorkel I installed. I didn't move the indicator down as I reckon it would look out of place being lower than the other side.

Hi everyone, A new member on the forum. The missus own's an 05 D22 Navara which I get the joy of doing all the work on. The Navara is pretty much standard (As that's how the missus wants it to stay) but I have plans to make it into a fairly capable tourer. My play 4wd is a 04 diesel Hilux...

Tensioner pulley bearing size. Outside Dia. - 40mm Inside Dia. - 17mm Depth/Thickness - 14mm CBC didn't have any this size in stock (can order though) so I got one that was 16mm thick (cost about $22). It fitted perfectly with plenty of thread left. Sorry but I misplaced the paperwork with the...
