So, as a signal of how you can solve things differently I create this thread. I see everybody keep adding batteries to there rigs. 2 batteries for starting (even if you have only 12v) and then two extra batteries for the equipment (fridge and stuff). But then, yes, the batteries need to be...
Just as a tip. Sometimes you're looking to put an extra tank under the car, either for water or for fuel.
If you are taking your spare wheel from under the car to a different location (rear bumper, roof, etc) then you can use the original spare wheel location for the tank. But it isn't easy to...
Hi all,
I have a Limited Slip Differential in the rear axle of my Toyota Hiace van. It is a G rear axle, meaning it is the same as in a Hilux or 4Runner from the nineties, so it is nothing specific to my van.
It is a Toyota factory LSD, using the special diff oil for LSDs.
I know (or let's say...
I want to have a carrier fabricated for my spare tire on the right, and a box + jerry can on the left. I can't weld myself but I can make a drawing for the guy who is going to weld it, and buy the right hinges and stuff. It should be mounted on the hitch plate which is allowed to tow 2000kg, so...
Hi, I'm looking for an auto-locker (detroit locker a.k.a. lunchbox locker) for my front axle, 7.5 inch Toyota IFS.
I can find them for reasonable prices, but there are several vendors.
You have Powertrax, Lokka, Rockridge/Aussie locker, Spartan.
Does it matter? They are all pretty close to...
Hi all, I have the non-turbo 2L engine which has the visco fan coupling (like 1KZ and other engines)
A electric radiator fan doesn't cost much. But what specs should I be using in terms of CFM flow (and maybe other specs?) to choose the right fan?
The idea would be the remove the original...
(is this the right forum?)
Ok the 3RZ is popular I've noticed. But the V6-es also have nice power output, and they probably run smoother with on-road driving, but may have less torque down below.
A lot of times people are swapping from a 3VZ-E, but I want to focus on 3VZ-FE and 5VZ-FE.
There...
Some people here have the 3RZ right?
My question is, how tall the 3RZ engine is?
The reason is I got a van which now has a diesel engine, but it also came with the 2RZ-E if you bought petrol version.
I know that the 2RZ and 3RZ are very similar, so I can use same engine mounts and bell housing...

I don't have a 4 runner or Hilux, but I have a very similar 4x4 van. It comes with the G52 trans and the 2L engine.
Some questions:
1: Can any engine be bolted to a G series trans if it fits the W transmission? (assuming it comes with W transmission bell housing)
I read they could be...
Ok, so I have a Toyota van (a 4x4 Hiace) which shares a lot of stuff with the Hilux. I want to raise the van, and I think an Add-a-leaf pack would be a good start, also because of the load to the van (it is used as a camper van).
Can anyone share the dimension of the leafs of a Hilux or Tacoma...
