    Hilux  Skinny 16 inch rims for solid axle Hilux?

    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...

    Rust repair

    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.

    HZJ73 fuel economy

    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...

    Turbo 3B, or 13BT swap ?

    i have a 1985 BJ73, and have been planning/gathering parts to add a turbo. However a lower mileage 13BT (240k vs 305k on my 3B) engine has come up for sale. Should I continue as planned, or swap to the 13BT? The 13BT swap will cost more. However it’s a factory turbo motor, and direct injection...

    Do those that have installed boost and EGT gauges on a truck with aftermarket turbo find them useful long-term after initial install and tuning?

    3B turbo oil feed

    I am in the process of gathering parts to fit a Toyota CT12B from a 1KZ-TE to my 3B. Planning on sourcing oil from one of the bungs in the side of the block. What size hose is suitable for the oil feed? I understand the plugs on the block are threaded 1/8 BSPT and I probably need to adapt that...

    BJ73 lift measurements

    I'm trying to work out whether I want to order new leafs with a lift or without for my BJ73, not sure if it's currently lifted or factory ride height. Measurements from hub centre to arch lip would be appreciated, on any BJ73 or 74 with a known suspension setup, so I can compare.

    BJ73 fuel economy

    If anyone is interested, I have tracked my diesel usage over the last 3,678km I have done - mixed highway, town and off-road (4wd) driving. The average over all those k's is 12.2L per 100km, with the best fill up being 10.4/100 and the worst being 13.89/100 - this one was a long drive (550km)...

    Diff head from full float into semi float?

    I have a open diff semi-float rear on my BJ73 at the moment, have picked up an LSD full floater to replace it. Wondering if I can just put the diff head from the full float into my current axle for now - the intention being to replace all seals, studs, bearings etc in the full float and install...

    BJ73 - 33/10.5R15, 255/85R16 or 285/75R16?

    I'm looking at new tyres to replace my 31/10.5R15. Whatever I get I'll be replacing the rims because I can't use my "high lift jack buddy" with my current rims and I want something than I can use it with. Looking for something tall & skinny for increased clearance and keeping economy as good...

    FRP top roof rack options

    I know there have been a few threads on this over the years, but I am wondering if there are any fresh ideas for putting a minimal roof rack setup on a BJ73/4. I want something as low-profile as possible, pretty much just to hold a kayak or 2 and some recovery tracks.

    70 series: what to do?

    I have a 1985 BJ73. It's extremely cool and I like it a lot. However. It is a little short on space, and it has quite a few issues, e.g. needing new suspension, leaky windscreen, grumbly gearbox bearings, noisy diff, a few bits of minor rust and panel damage, doors don't seal right & rattle...

    U bolt flip kit

    I'm looking at the Man a fre u bolt flip kit for my BJ73, I understand that the 60 series kit will fit my diffs? My only question is how does it work with the 70 series where one rear shock is mounted forward of the diff and the other is mounted behind? I'd have to get 2 of the same mounts for...

    BJ73 Warning Lights

    Occasionally on water crossings in my BJ73 the Battery light and Filter light will light up - then go out shortly after. Any ideas what this is indicating? I assume it's something to do with water in the Alternator

    H55F - transfer case parts swap?

    I have a 1985 BJ73 with an H55F, with vacuum-actuated transfer case. I have found for sale a 4-speed 1984 (supposedly) BJ60 manual trans, with a fully-manual transfer case. Will the BJ60 transfer case mate directly to my H55F as a replacement for my current one? Or, if it will not: Can I...

    BJ73 - replacement rear quarter panel

    Is the sheetmetal still available? It's not in stock on Partsouq. Will a HZJ74 rear quarter fit? I have a damaged RH rear quarter and I think it may be easier to replace the panel if new sheetmetal is available. I can't find any aftermarket suppliers either
