Spacers are illegal here in New Zealand so I am trying to find a suitable oe part number rim or aftermarket, with the correct offset and width to run 7.50R16s. The only option I can find is an ROH steel (Blaktrak) which is advertised in Australia but not New Zealand. I may have to just look at...

I have a 94 LN106 Hilux, and am considering switching to 7.50R16 tyres for various reasons, but I can't find any options for an aftermarket rim skinny enough. What are the options for a steel rim in an OE part number or aftermarket? I don't want to run split rims as they're so heavy and have no...

My windscreen is extremely leaky so I think this may be my problem

My voltage gauge has stopped working in my 85 BJ73, any ideas on where to start? Needle doesn't move at all.

10-11 L/100km average from mine, 310xxxkm on the clock (but more like 350k km in reality probably) N/A BJ73 with 33x10.5 KO2's, bullbar, winch, no lift (currently), no roof rack. I had the injectors rebuilt 4 or 5 months ago which made maybe 10% improvement. I think the best I've had was like...

I need to replace my windscreen frame and have some rust repairs done to my 73 also. Do you have a complete list of the part numbers of the seals/gaskets you used? That would save me a bit of faffing finding them!! thanks!

What would a kit cost?

Well I get about 11L per 100km average over everything in the BJ73 with 33/10.5 ATs, but I drive like a real granny. Would love to get the same or similar from a HZJ73

Is this fixable, and if so, is it easy or expensive? At this point - looks minor. Can’t imagine it will do anything other than get worse. May be related to leaking around windscreen? In the seam in the A pillar on both sides.

What kind of mileage are people getting with an HZJ73? I'm looking at replacing my BJ73 with something a little newer, but a bit wary of the poor economy the 1HZ seems to get. I have driven a lot of HZJ75 and HZJ79 utes over the years and remember getting pretty poor mileage (500km/90L) but we...

What was the part number and cost for the new windscreen frame??

Yeah it’s real old fashioned. I just Bluetooth the iPhone to it for music

I have the same head unit. Cool. Never seen anyone else with one.

Stiff clutch and engine not shutting off = vacuum issue maybe.

I also did this today. 33/10.5R15 on a 15x8 steel rim, on the flipped tyre mount on the door. It's heavy, especially with a hi-lift and shovel mounted on there too. A rear bar with wheel carrier is on the way though, so this is only temporary and hopefully my door rattles less once I get it on.
