Roughtrax do the two bolts (for one side) for £67. And you can get pattern bolts from people like Febest. Hope your chassis and rear axle case last another 22 years.

The only reason the lower wishbones take any time to swap the first time is if you waste time trying to undo the camber adjusting bolts, rather than cracking out the reciprocating saw. I would buy a new set of camber bolts before anything else. Ask whoever replaces them to slather the unthreaded...

It never got any worse. Did about 60,000 miles on it after my "fix".

The 120 is famous(ish) for snapping a bit of plastic moulding that holds a pin and spring to let the selector hold in place. Or rather the pin gets very stiff and you can't get out of park so you pull hard and then the plastic snaps. There was a guy in Australia making a kit to fix it because...

What amazes me if pulling everything out of the interior, not snapping any plastic tabs. And then being able to find all the bits again when you want to reassemble it.

Incidently, the 2024 (and I think back to 2022) single cab AWD Hilux can tow 3.5 tonnes. I have the same engine in my 150, and while I don't tow 3.5 tonnes, because that would be illegal, it took a twin deck of lambs to market last month over a couple of the highest mountain roads in South...

Absolutely. Although you usually don’t have a trailer attached on the off chance. And you think, how bad can it be just to chuck them in the back. And then about 30 seconds into your journey you remember.

Those links are specifically for where regs don’t align with VAT. Not going to tell anyone they don’t need a pickup. I also get the dead sheep issue, but not frequently enough to buy a pickup; open a window / breathe through your mouth :) Its only an issue when they ooze past the tarp you’ve...

Do you need a pickup? If you currently have a twin-cab you should be OK for tax until April 2029. Commercial LC250 should be here well before then. Or you are likely to be able to remove the rear seats (including any mountings / weld up holes) and replace the glass in the rear windows with...

I suspect they are not factory fit. Added by dealer in country.

Fairly sure it's for a red warning triangle if that is a legal requirement in the market the car is being sold in. Eg, not in the UK.

Should just push up from one of these clips.
