Roughtrax suspension lift.
Monroes on the front, Desertfox on the rear.
You'll need a decent spring compressor or a few extra digits you can spare

Lots of info there!

Apart from the engine oil, it should be the same as the oil burners really.

I have detailed wiring diagrams on my Lexus CD for the 2.7 if you ever need any, ECU pin-outs etc. I have to print them off, scan and save as PDF files before I can post them on here though.

[Dodge]

MacPherson type struts at the front, coil springs at the rear.

So coils all round then.

[yoshie]

What's up the rear, leaf springs?

Yep, with remote res nitrogen assist shocks

[Surf01]

As a matter fo interest what is the mpg on the petrol?

[Apache]

On longer journeys, a fair bit better than the 3.0TD in my experience. On short 'start-stop' journeys, slightly worse. Haven't worked out a figure, but to be honest I'm not that bothered.

I'm guessing for overall 'general use' its going to pan out about the same.

And I'm looking at one tommorow.

[Apache]

Bl00dy 'ell!

You want a piddly 2.7? The V8 eating you out of house and Texaco Gra?

Good grief man, get rid off lexurf...never!
Just want another one so I can get on with the mods...winch and bumper, light bar,rear locker,panel out the back...I need to be able to use something else whilst I'm doing it...and it's BP not texaco.

[BUSHWHACKER]

Look what the 2.7 can do Graham!

Yes I know it's in a Tacoma, but they're basically 3rd gen Surfs/4Runners underneath.

[gwh200]

Honestly...I drive sensibly most of the time...

Lexurf is sub seven seconds, and I reckon if more air was introduced sub 6.5.

Mmmm, light bar. I have an idea in my head for a low profile one which will look something like an aero-bar from a roof rack. Just need to get my finger out and get back into the shed.

It's feckin miserable out there today though. 100% humidity in fog and slush.

[gwh200]

Well I still have the original apache light bar, with the blue led
"sidelights". It's just the ticket.
