Hi All
I am considering doing the IFS swap on my Diesel 200. I am concerned with the front spring rate # and front shock valving. The reason for this is that the 3UR 5.7 gas engine weighs around 485 lbs. while the 1VD 4.5 diesel weighs in a whopping 822 lbs.
Current Setup
Stock IFS
Front -...
Whats up David!
I'm also burning about a liter per 5K km interval and o not worried about it.
I think you should try this one and them let know how it goes :D:

I have no idea since I bought already lifted. But reason would tell me more than 2" since I noticed recently that the previous owner used OME 2703 front coils which are rated for bullbar + winch. ( other thread on coils )
I'm going to change those coils for softer ones so I might wait and see...
Thanks for the info!
The first line of the print out shows the caster @ -0.2º per side.
Will keep an eye on the body mount . I'll chop it if necessary. Road manners are a priority, specially in my country with mediocre roads.
Hi guys
Fitted some 305/55 r20 Falken Wildpeak AT3W´s some days ago. Lift is OME 2" front.
The truck needs new UCA to get caster back into spec. Question is will I need to correct camber too?
Leaning towards the Nitro Gear UCA´s with 3º of additional caster or the SPC UCA´s with Camber...
Thanks for clearing that up. That is very common here in Latin America. You see it in salvaged trucks where the chassis has been severly damaged. They have that pace horse sided walk.
As others have pointed out, draining the KDSS is not necessary. KDSS is a completely mechanical system...
Thanks man, yeah the previous owner used those heavy load coils for whatever reason. I dont know.
Do you know the height? might look into #600 Eibach´s. Close to 109N/mm
Wondering if there is a more comfortable alternative out there. Other than 2702.
What do yoe mean by dog leg? does the stance exhibit a lean towards one side or do the rear tires stick out more on one side than the other?
Usually a 3¨ lift will be enough to "pull" the axle out of line via the stock panhard. An adjustable panhard will address that.
If KDSS has not been...
Hi All
I am looking for a more comfortable front suspension setup. The rig currently has OME 2703 (703´s) coil springs with OME 91005 shocks. I run a stock bumper. No plans for bull bar or winch.
Ride feels harsh in the front end.
The rear has 2722 coil springs and 61029 shocks. Feels nice...
Thanks for your reply, very helpful.
It would then be safe to assume that the auto leveling module would be quite complex to retrofit into the vehicle.
Hi all
I am retrofitting 2013 headlamps on a 2010 VDJ-200.
The lamps are the non US (ROW) bi xenons with the DRL (hi/lo) LED strips. Left 81185-60F30 Right 81145-60F30
Got everything to work and figured out how to power the DRL´s with a relay setup.
What I cannot get to...
Thanks, I went over to the Bobistheoilguy forum. Things get very "techy" over there ...
Going to give Rotella T6 a shot in 5W40 Diesel as it exceeds the recommended API CF-4
When you say 5k you mean 5,000 miles or kilometers?
The options for full synthetic in the recommended weight by Toyota are limited in my country. I did find one by Repsol but have noticed an increased oil consumption over my previous oil which was conventional 15W-40. Repsol 50501 TDI 5W40 is the name.
I am looking to extend the service...
