Toyota Aluminium Lift-Up Tonneau Cover


Last year when I bought the car, the dealership offered you accessories to be installed before delivering the car to you, and one of them was the "Tonneau Cover".

OEM Part# PW3B1-0K007


.


No Water Ingress during driving with heavy Rain, and I have sat on top to enjoy some sunsets in the mountains and it is quite sturdy.

The Top-Cover has side rails to install a Rack if you consider carrying heavy stuff.


.


If you need to remove the Cover to load something big in the back, it is very easy to do it, you just need the help of your wife or buddy.

Rear Diff Axle Breather (Part 1)
.

I would like to extend the Rear Diff Axle Breather of my Hilux and I was looking through the Net different options.

I always try to use OEM Parts from other Toyota Models to make any Mod in my vehicles if it is possible.


OEM Part# 90930-03097 (several Toyota's Models using this Part, and you can find this Plug made in Plastic too)


.


OEM Part# 90404-51052 (some Toyota's Land Cruisers using this Part)


.


I bought in "Amazon" 10 meter of 6mm Rubber Hose: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00UI55T58?tag=ihco-21


.


Please don't waste your time like I did "protecting" the Rubber Hose :doh: (you can find better and quickly options)

Rear Diff Axle Breather (Part 2)
.

Last week after work, I decide to installing everything. It is much better and easier to do it in Lift than on the floor of the Garage at Home :hillbilly:
.


.

I didn't take any photo of the location of the Rear Axle Breather Hose through the Chassis, sorry, but too many options to choice 😁:

In the end I decided to put it (Part# 90930-03097) in the engine bay, easier to have all the breather in the same place to can check it.

.

Replaced the OEM Shorter Rear Axle Breather for the Part# 90404-51052

Nothing is more important that keep the Beers :beer::beer: cold.

In my previous Land Cruiser KZJ-70 I had a Engel Fridge for several years, and probably was one of the best investment I did in that car.

Las week I found in Germany a great price discount for the same Engel model, and here it is.

.

Now I have to decide if I want to install the fridge in the box or in the second row seat area, I like to keep my vehicle versatile and adaptable to each situation.

Suspension OME Kit +2

.
The Suspension OME Kit +2 was installed this week.


.

Rear OME Kit Part# 01003-HILOE-H1 (2100 kg)


.

Front OME Kit Part# 01003-HILOE-F2 (1600 kg)


.

.

I am not expecting to have a great flex, but maybe I could fit "bigger" tyres :hillbilly: (maybe 32 or equivalent).

The new Hilux's doesn't have much space in front to fit bigger tyres without having to make cuts, etc. etc.



.

And today I am starting a "temporary installation" of the Fridge in the 2nd Row Seats:


.
 
.
2 weeks ago, after the Lift Suspension Kit installation, and before starting to work at the new job, I did a Solo-Trip in the "Parc Naturel Régional du Haut-Jura" in France 🇫🇷 & "Parc Naturel Régional Jura Vaudois" in Switzerland 🇨🇭

Lonely Forest Roads at this time of the year. Great Camping nights on the forest, reading a book a hearing the nature,

I found a lot of small refuges in the forest of the Swiss side...

Hi,

It was a busy year with not enough time to can enjoying my car traveling, but I bought the ARB Twin Motor Portable 12V Air Compressor Kit CKMTP12 last month.



I was thinking to buy the ARB Twin Motor Air Compressor and install it somewhere of the car, looking the best place of my Hilux to put it and everything that the installation requires, but I have to accept, that I don´t have the enough time to really enjoy my car as I would like to enjoy it.

For that reason I decided to buy this portable ARB Air-Compressor Kit/Pack, If you think that you need it, just take the Box and drop it somewhere of the car.




The all Package is really well done, not fancy, not crappy, let say functional.

The Harness is enough long to put the Box on the floor and connect it with the 12v Battery, the air Hose is enough long to inflate all the tyres, but you have to buy the inflator (not included in the Kit 😑)



I think it is a valid option for those of us who need a compressor in some sporadic situation or occasional off-road trip.

Regards from the Alps.
