Hi all Currently have a 110aH flooded Numax leisure battery connected to my starter with a Durite split charge relay. Installed it 3 years ago and it's been okay, but not great. Within a couple of years the battery couldn't power the fridge through the second day, and now only reads 12.3v...

Hi all Likely for sale next week - five 33"x12.5"R15 Toyo Open Country MTs in excellent condition with loads of tread left. They're less than 2 years old with low mileage on them, I can measure the depth of tread on each next week if anyone's interested. I've always kept them regularly...

Probably not that many on here that it will fit, but can't hurt to spread the word! Steel bull bar / bumper for Hilux Surf, comes with brackets to lift it up 2" to fit body lifted vehicles. £250ono, cash on collection or can deliver locally for cost. Located in Malmesbury, Wilts...

An 80 x 50 box section with a 4mm wall thickness, or an 80 x 50 box section fabricated from four plates of 6mm? Should add, wouldn't be me welding it but a firm who have professional fabricators... Thoughts? Owen

Evening all Anyone on here handy with building websites? Best Owen

Hi all Probably going to be too big for the Hilux but I'm keen to try a set just to see. I'd rather not spend £500+ buying a set only to find they don't fit, I don't suppose (for some beer tokens!) anyone in the south west of England has an old set kicking about they wouldn't mind me borrowing...

Thought I'd put up a few pics from a recent Portugal trip - 4,000km in 10 days all up, including a couple of 16-hour, 1,100km legs on the way back up. Did loads of off-road exploration when down there, and some of it some pretty extreme tracks through wilderness areas, tackling soft sand...

So a month or two ago I swapped the head unit on my wife's Civic. All good, no dramas, worked fine, but showed up how rubbish the stock speakers were. So, a week ago I fitted new speakers in the front doors, hooked up the wiring to the new terminals, all good, no dramas. A few days later...

Warning, this will be a short rant. I hate getting into political discussion online as it almost always ends up like talking about religion, but thought I'd flag this if you'd not seen it yet...

Right, so let's say theoretically someone just bought his wife a cheap little Civic to get her around, and that they changed the oil (5w30 fully synth) and filter shortly afterwards just as a matter of course, and that they theoretically then consolidated the remaining 1.5l of oil into another...

Hi guys Rather than clog up the other thread I thought I'd put up the requests for pics here. It is stored in a bag on the side of my roof rack and pivots out from the back corner. There are three beams which have extendable sections, with a super-lightweight and ultra-thin tarp material...

Hi fellas Looking to get some forged recovery points for the front of the Hilux. I've seen them on another 2nd Gen so I know they exist, but god knows where they got them from as there seems very little online that I can see. Does anyone know of a place that makes / sells forged closed-loop...

Evening all, Does anyone know of any snow chains which will fit 33x12.5 R15s? Seems a little niche... Cheers Owen

5 x Nankang N889 Mudstar M/T in 32x11.5 R15. I have had these tyres for just over 2 years on my Hilux now and have driven 25,000 miles on them. They have exactly the same design tread design as the more well-known Maxxis Buckshot Mudder, and by all accounts perform exactly the same. These are...

Thinking of trying to find some Lanotec to get splashed around underneath the truck, was wondering if anyone here has any experience with it? I know John Rooth raves about it, but he'd sell anything if given a carton. Still, the product seems pretty good, and might do the job? I'd be thinking...

Hi all Looking to install a couple of little voltmeter gauges to show the state of my starter and auxiliary batteries. From what I've read I'll need to pinch the live for the starter one from an ignition source (makes sense so it's not permanently on), but obviously for the one to the...

Hi all, Looking to get a fire extinguisher mounted in my truck, though I'm unsure of which one to go for. There seems to be some discussion over the metis or otherwise of powder versions (mainly in the corrosive qualities of what they expel), and of the size required to adequately extinguish...

Hi all, You probably won't remember me, I joined a couple of years ago on the look out for a Land Cruiser. Shortly after, the perfect vehicle for me came up for sale, a 1994 Hilux 4Runner (Surf). Okay, sure, it's not a 70 series, but with the 3.0 TD 1KZT and auto trans it does share Land...

Hi all, Owen here. New to the forum and looking ultimately for a 70 series to get into Land Cruiser ownership. My previous 4x4 ownership was 16,000km in a lifted Hilux 4Runner around Oz for a while. Loved it but would now like to upgrade ;) If anyone knows of any LWB 70 series...
