oh god, youve got a red button.

thats it , were all doomed now

[yoshie]

hey guys here are some questions for you all,

1, Are there any problems with the 2" body lift on the auto?

2, Best 2" body lift kit to buy?

3, little red button beside the gear selector on the auto? (in pic)

4, In the engine bay there is a pipe off from what i think is egr valve, is this what you guys do or should i put it back on and make my own blanking plate?

5, How big (in row count) would i need for a stand alone atf cooler?

6, What engine oil do they take? also any other servicing points i should know about?

No problems with the selectors on a 2" lift.
Any 2" lift blocks that come with rated bolts
Lets you move the shift lever when the truck is not running
Most blank or block egr
Up to you reall 15" by 8" should do
Mine take Halfords Diesel engine oil.

The problem with your questions mate is they lacked any effort to use the site and info freely available. You will appreciate that after s few years using a forum of this size that a few hundred fellas have asked the same list to be answered.

They are all really helpful once they have taken the ####

I just spent 9hr on a wee road trip today, 130 mile with breakfast and dinner stops and about 70 mile of unmarked B roads and tracks. So aye mate in a good mood.


You have a fair point thou Alan, not really my normal response, was it?

thank you yoshie, i have tried the serch button but every post i go on just has the same kinda stuff as said in this before,

any clues about the pic with my hand in it? is that the pipe for the egr?

[yoshie]

Looks like it, a common bodge was a bolt and jubilee clip. Or the ballbearings the eblag guy sold as a stop smoke kit lol.

Some one on here was getting blanking plates knocked up however, a wee bit sheet steel and you could knock them up yourself.

hey nothing much has been happening with the hilux since i bought it but i have been to my local off road club today and it has trown up lost of questions lol my first one is what would be better for offroading a 2" body or suspension lift?

[BUSHWHACKER]

Suspension.

[Diezel Weazel]

Better for ya pocket is a 2" body lift !! = 2" Lift Kit
2" suspension Lift is a bit more expensive = Rear Spring Kit + 4 x 2"+ shockers..
Depends what ya want/need !!
Do a search all the info is on here somewhere
Good Luck
