Good day guys!

Hey mudders!
I need some questions asked regarding this home made roof rack I had fabbed up by someone. I'm not too confident with his work but it seems functional. I'd just like to know your experienced opinions as well.
1. My clearance from the roof ridge to the bottom of roofrack is around...
Hey guys! I just bought a set of these Nankang Mudstar mud tires in 285/75/16 size. I'm just wondering if anyone has actual reviews of these Taiwan made tires. So far all I've been hearing are good things and these are supposed to last upwards of 70,000 KMs. So far my review on road is...
Guys I'm planning to do my flares and rear stock bumper satin black or bedliner black. I've searched the flares but I can't find pics of rear bumper in black or bedliner.
Thanks for the help guys
Guys I'm looking at changing my BS Duler 694s to some Dunlop Grandtrek MT2 muddies because I'd like a more aggressive look than the plain looking duelers.
I've heard mixed reviews on Dunlop in general but nothing on the MT2 per se. Buy or not? :) past experiences?
Hey guys I'm buying a set of 4 BAJA ATZ 315/75/16's for my HDJ80 for $180. Is it worth it? Here are the pics. I can't see the tires in person since the seller is in another province and will just ship it. I'm not sure but it looks a bit too thin already... Thanks guys!
Hey guys,
Just like to show the install I made with some cheap HID's and a pair of HELLA H4 e-code headlights. Excuse the pics, they were taken w/ my iPad since my brother borrowed my Canon DSLR
The cut-off is alright except I couldn't adjust them low enough to not blind the lower sedans. No...
Had to cross around 3-4 city blocks of almost waist high floodwater. I was driving in 4x2 1st gear at a constant 20 kph. Forgot to switch to low gear. During the fording my revs dropped dangerously low and almost stuttered and this happened three times. Made it but those three times the revs...
Just curious because I bought some 285 all terrains and they seem a bit smaller than some mud terrain 285's. is that normal?
Btw these are bridgestone Duelers
Some guy is selling me really cheap desert duelers 285/75/16 size and around 70% treadlife for a song but the production date is around 2006. Will take a look at it within the week but do you guys think its worthwhile? Considering the age of it.
I really want to replace my 275's (just bought...
Hey guys,
I have two holes on the inner side of my steel bumper that drips rust every now and then. The guy who made it said to just dab it with rust converter then seal it up with silicon sealant. Is this enough of a fix for it?
The holes are vent holes to let the gasses escape when they...
Hey guys,
I had my mechanic adjust the engine idle speed of my 1hdt manual to cope with the added lights I placed on my truck. Is it safe to do that?
Under load its 1000 rpm and w/out load its at 800 rpm. I did it to keep the voltage of the alternator/battery at around 13 volts because at...
Hey guys,
Is my HDJ 80 smoking excessive?
Selosa smoke belching - YouTube
I revved it from 2000-4000 rpms and the smoke seems to be a grey to dark grey color.
Its 447,000 km already and no major engine problems or servicing. Just regular maintenance. I just use mineral oil, looses...
Hey ih8mudders,
Have you guys heard of this brand? They're selling the adventure shocks pretty cheap in my country and I'm very very curious about it but I couldn't find any information on the net.
Any info would be helpful. Because of the price, I might just go with these Amada Xtreme's...
Has anyone tried to install an Intercooler from another vehicle into a 1hdt engine?
For example, a montero top mount Intercooler or celica Intercooler to use as an Intercooler for the 1hdt turbo. You guys think it can work?
Sorry I'm not so good with engines hahaha. Just theory crafting :)
Quick question guys!
I have an HDJ 80 1996 and I have the part time 4wd system. Aside from actual offroading in the trails and stuff, when can I use it?
Is it safe for me to keep it on all the time?
Is it safe for use on smooth roads? What's the max speed that the part time 4wd allows...
Guys,
Whenever I reach near empty, my fuel just lights up for a few seconds then disappears.
Is that normal? Or will it really really just stay on if its really really near empty?
