thanks man, the cruiser is coming together now too. Not so many engine mods but definetly all the outer mods similar to the surf

Cheers mate. I really need to do one for my landcruiser

Thanks

Thanks alot mate, nice to see there's love for these trucks around the world

@@EliIronMan oh yeah man there's a huge 4runner(that's what they're called here) following here and I'm actually trying to convince my buddy and his wife to let me buy their 3rd gen 4x4 bc it just sits in their driveway. Really wish I could get one just like yours except left hand drive. I bet a diesel 4runner would be awesome

Yooo, I’m from south Texas too!!!!! Waaaay down south with a 3rd gen

Howdy from SATX. 3rd Gen 4R owner here

Thanks alot, glad to see there's Toyota fans around the world!!

thanks mate

YES!!!!

That's because he's my kiwi cousin mate 😂

Dude, I knew it sounded familiar but couldn’t quite get it 😂

Hahahahahahahaha

All us kiwis sound like that

Thanks mate

Never looked back after switching from a gen 2.

Custom rails fitted inside the factory rails with same bolt pattern

Should be plenty down south, often cheaper too so keep your eyes open. Certainly in the Canterbury area

Top mount was from a later model 1kd I think 🤔 Obviously with my custom intake manifold and throttle body delete, things were easier then trying to make the non intercooled manifold suit the intercooler. But if you were to look for a setup, you're best to look for one which includes the manifold and piping required. You'll see with my one, on the output side of the IC the flow goes rearward, that is the later model intercooler. On the earlier model the output goes downward, can be harder to fit without the correct adapter plate or intake setup

I dont remember the brand sorry and its gone now. I had to use a 3rd party app on the PC to edit footage etc. Bought it from my local Superheap Auto shop here in NZ (also available in Australia) Cheers

Here in Argentina most of them are turbo diesel 3.0. They were sold under the name of SW4.

We have to run some sort of flare if the wheel sticks out past the factory ones, the further you go, the bigger rubber or plastic flare you gotta put on.

4"s past your adams apple

Dayumm yea a V8 is still on my wishlist, dont know if you are part of the Toyota Hilux Surf Owners Group on facebook or not but 2 of our longstanding members have extremely tidy and well built V8 185 surfs, go check it out

An intercooled surf runs better than an none intercooled. For towing, it’s really depends, how far the trip and the weight cap of what you are towing. An intercooler should keep you going without overheating but it all depends on what you are towing and how much you push your engine on your trip. I hope that helps? cheers

Those ones are from ebay, but you can get them from the Camburg website, or Icon website, or Total Chaos do a set also

@@EliIronMan thanks heaps mate! Killa rig

Can't now sorry, vehicle has sold. Most parts were from local shops for suspension, ebay for UCAs, rest of the stuff was local custom built or eBay haha

xzavion beard rugby shorts .. a real mans sport not like football lol

Factory? Very common in nz

I definitely will man once it's got a few goodies in it. Plans to build the rear setup much better are under way.

Custom build by my mechanic

Custom made by my mate. Easier to remove then welding on 😂

Yes that is true, however the new power output of the motor ment that it did not feel much extra strain when some extra load was added. But yes correct, and also the 'throttle up' button does not work anymore either which was always handy when jump starting someone elses vehicle

Pretty sure it's 95-05 dodge towing mirrors, pop that into ebay and you'll get them

@@EliIronMan Sweet you rock! Have the same last name as me to don't find that to often haha!

Yep sure did, went to 4.3s first, then when I broke them I went to 4.5s. Absolutely a great thing to do! 4.5s with 35s, was like 4.1s with 31s on my speedo. Healthy as f*** for the motor too

@@EliIronMan wow ok, so u in your opinion would 33's & 35's do well on 4.88's

@@israelrodriguez6986 yup for sure, but if you can't find them, and you find 4.5s instead, then that would be perfect too. 4.8s obviously the best, but you can't get them for Kzn185s unless you buy brand new crown & pinion sets (as far as I'm aware). You won't find them out from factory it rigs being scrapped unless you're in the USA

@@EliIronMan thank you so much for the input, I really appreciate it

There's a factory bung in there on the intake side, between piston 3 and 4, around the oil cooler area. Take the bung out and find a suitable adapter Bush to fit in your water temp probe

give him a call, phone numbers on the truck haha

Bit of grinder love, and some 27mm spacers (biggest legal in nz)

We have a very limited supply in both tyres and wheel selections. Being part of a few 4runner pages on fb that are states based has shown me that. There are so many wheel options you have that I wish we had. And tyres, well heck I swear there's 20x more makers and styles to choose from. You guys are very lucky 😊 We just get cheap knock offs
