@mudgudgeon Just want to see if you have any opinions on running the stock airbox on 18psi of boost. Also planning to do a snorkel, safari style. Or any other modifications I should do?

Just the man I was hoping would comment. I have yet to find a shop in socal to tune it. So I might as well finish reading all the documentation and tune it myself. I have EGT, Boost, and AFR so everything I need for tuning is there. I have the shop doing the install because I don't have the...

I have RPM Garage doing some work for me currently, doing a PDI intercooler install, GTurbo G300, and 3in exhaust. I plan to run the stock airbox, or possibly get a torfab air box. So the G300 should be preset at 18PSI of boost. RPM isn't going to be doing much on the tuning side, will it be...

There has been alot going on since. Did the Eaton Elocker install, rebuilt the front and rear axles at the same time new wheel bearings. Have been freshing up the interior. Going to RPM Garage here in socal tomorrow to get the intercooler, turbo, exhaust installed. Don't have the time do it...

This is one of the cleanest and rarest optioned Hilux Surf. The top mount intercooler was only available with 5 speed manual from 1998 to 2000, and its still rare to find them together. $21,000 Negotiable One Owner 111,078 km (~69k miles) Clean Virginia Title and all import documentation 5...

Yeah I have the rear area covered as well as underneath. I'm going to be designing a rear bumper w/ hitch receiver that works with a 15-20gal Aux tank. Scanning large flat areas is a little rough, it does a lot better when it has complex geometry. Going to be doing the interior today.

Einstar. After looking at a few different ones it seems to be the best for my use cases.

Here's how the scanning is coming together so far. Takes a while to get a high quality scan with all the features I want in it.

I have a RHD Auto but I could still scan it. Unless someone has one in the SoCal area I can scan. Scanning it today, then going to make some drawer slides!

I'm getting ready to 3D scan some areas on my HDJ81. Mainly for a rear bumper, aux tank, and some interior stuff. If you want anything specific scanned let me know.

Picked up an H151F without a bellhousing. They are available on Amayama and Partsouq but thought I would try here first. Also looking for other manual swap parts. Anyone know the difference between 31481-60691 and 31481-60711? Thanks, David

Mainly the on road handling characteristics and fuel mileage gain. Decided to do the Eaton Elockers, planning to do an OEM locker switch. Anyone know a good source?

Part of my reasoning is I'm in Southern California so it takes a lot of street driving just for me to get to the dirt. It really is I have been looking at them for a while now and after calling it seems they pulled out around April. Something about mismanagement with the US sales team. Can...

Mainly for the handling characteristics of PT. I picked up a kit off the classifieds for a decent price so thought why not. After talking with a TJM dealer is seems TJM has pulled out of the US. So I am now thinking about going with Eaton ELockers. Let me know if you have any other...

They look great and the pricing is pretty good. I was already planning to go with 255/85r16 I'll check out the Coopers sound good all around. I think I'll stick with the alloys for now, already spending a decent amount on parts.
