Looking for an R151 transmission for my LN106 Hilux. I am rebuilding my 3L diesel w/ turbo and need to upgrade from the G52.
Would consider a good core but would rather buy one in good shape.
So, after dying a little inside as I witness the prices of first gen 4x4s creep up in “value”, I decided to hone in and see if deals were still to be had.
Sadly, gone are the days of me getting a very nice, original owner SR5 from an old farmer in middle TN and bringing it home for $5,500. I’ve...
My LN106 Hilux runs a G52 transmission identical to many domestic yotas. Those familiar with G52 tranny I need your input.
Lately I've experienced the following minor issues;
Hard upshift into 2nd occasionally
Slight grind/clicking when downshifting from 3rd to 2nd, or 4th to 3rd
If I shift...
Hey there. I just bought a 1996 Hilux Surf SSR-G and I'm trying to figure out if I can program a key fob to it. Has anyone had any experience doing this with a 3rd gen surf? I have tried the 5 lock unlock cycle routine about 20 times to try to get into programming mode with no luck. I tried...

Many upgrades and modifications done, to support longevity including:

What kind of motor oil? I know it’s 10w 30 but I’m assuming because of its year it can take conventional oil? Should I put synthetic or a blend instead? Thank you!
Does anybody know what coolant/anti-freeze my truck is supposed to take it is engine code 2L LN65. I can’t find anything and I don’t have the owners manual to check. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you
Hello first post in this thread.

Was just asking about the oil pressure gauge on this. When i start up and idle the needle goes up about quarter which is still just below the L when rpm get to around 1300 the needle gets to the L and them after...
After many years of adventures, it's time for my old 1986 Mini Truck to find a new home.
I purchased this truck in 2008 bone stock. I am the 3rd owner. First owner was an older gentleman who bought it new at a Toyota Dealer in Palo alto. Second owner was a college kid who owned it for a short...
Doesn’t look like much, but it’s got it where it counts and everything works. I mean everything!
I got this truck a couple years ago and have been going through it since. Selling only because I have a chance to upgrade to a Land Cruiser and can’t keep both.
Originally sold in Durango, CO and...

What you are looking at is a 1996 Toyota Hilux Surf, the SUV version of the Hilux pickup which is known around the globe for its reliability. It is a sleeper JDM vehicle because it does not have a gas engine and instead the far superior 3.0 liter 1KZ-TE Toyota turbo charged diesel engine with an...
I have a 1994 Hilux LN106 3L with 160,000 km. When I changed the oil two months ago, after ~6,000 km and one month on new oil and filter, I borrowed a funnel from a friend to pour used oil from one container to another, and when he put the funnel into a bag he always uses after oil changes, the...
