29) FUEL CAP

The fuel cap was missing on my truck when I bought it.

This replacement fitted:-

Search eBay for
“Toyota Hi Pickup (1989 to 1997) Diesel Easy Fit Non Locking Fuel Cap”

30) SNORKEL

The snorkel is from a mk2 hilux.

Search eBay for:-
“Toyota Hilux 65 Series 1983-1988 Snorkel Kit Raised Air Intake”

I’ll post pics here once Tony has fitted it.

31) DOOR LOCKS, CENTRAL LOCKING, AND REMOTE REAR WINDOW

The central locking control module in my truck didn't work when I got it, and the replacement I managed to get from Switzerland didn't work much better. I think there must be another relay that I haven't found which is bust.

However as I wanted remote central locking, and remote control for rear tailgate window, I decided to just wire it all up myself using a bunch of relays etc.

So now I have remote control doors, and remote control rear window so I can open the window as I'm walking to the car so I can easily get in the boot.

The parts I used were:-

a) Two automotive relays per door
These ones are pretty good as they come with holders

b) Door locks
The door locks themselves were bust. Rick (VagrantNo2 on here) managed to look up the part number for me and they're the same as MR2 locks, which I found easily on ebay for £10 each

c) Wireless 4 channel relay
This is what gives you the remote function. This one seems to work ok as it can handle 10amps (make sure you don't get one with a low current rating as the relays will blow)

You will want the relays set to "momentary" mode (see the manual which comes with it)

d) A whole bunch of wiring
All from ebay



UPDATE - I've since written a topic with information about how I've done rear window remote etc...

32) NOT MUCH LEFT OF THE DONOR TRUCK

It's not been raided for the engine yet (that's for Tony to do), but it's already looking pretty bare!

At the time the photo was taken it was still at Matt's yard and being used by Adam's dog as a toy! (he liked ripping the carpet out!)

33) TAKING THE 1ST GEN TO TONYS

At long last!

End of November 2018 I took the 1st gen to Tonys with the 2nd gen.

I also met up with two other 1st gen owners (Maciej with the grey one pictured, and Doug with the orange one pictured) and we went for a bit of off roading, and beers!

34) TAKING THE OLD ENGINE OUT

Ok so most of the pictures from here for a bit will be taken by Tony and posted up by me.

Here you can see what was left of the 2.4td engine (minus cylinder head) coming out. Yay it's starting!

35) 2 INCH BODY LIFT

The body lift was bought from ebay, and made by a company called xpajun.

Pictured is what the truck looks like after the body lift. The original wheels are back on as it was too big to fit on the trailer with the 33s x 12.5s

36) STEERING SPACER

Tony made a steering spacer to save stretching out splines on steering column

37) TEST FIT OF RAD

This was a test to see if a 3.0 1KZ rad would fit in the space available.

This is a 3 row one bought from Rough Trax.

38) EVEN LESS OF THE DONOR TRUCK LEFT NOW!

Tony has been busy taking it apart!

40) NEW ENGINE MOUNTS AND FITTING OF 1KZ/T IN 1ST GEN

The engine mounts on the 1st gen aren’t in the right place for the 1KZ/T. So Tony cut the chassis legs off the donor 4runner, and cut the engine mounts of and welded them in the right place on the 1st gen.

This took some time, and the engine had to be pulled out and put back in several times.

41) CLUTCH AND FLYWHEEL

The clutch was almost brand new, but the fly wheel needed doing, and various seals were replaced too.

42) POR15 THE ENGINE BAY

The engine bay was also painted with POR15 too for protection and longevity.

43) CAM BELT AND WATER PUMP

Rude not to change it whilst at it...
