Very helpful. I have a 1994 SR5 4X4 with the extended cab and a V6 with 370,000 miles. About ready to rebuild. You guessed it --head gasket and loss of compression. (I think I am running on four of the six cylinder at this point!) :-) My only comment about the 6 vs the 4 cylinder is that the six is kind of tight in that engine compartment. Thank you for sharing your observations and experiences!

This might be what mine's doing exactly bone stock I had it running at 1 point and it just died and now I got fuel I got spark I got air won't go , I do have a wet plug so it leads me to think low compression but possibly low compression due to the decompression
@TravisTutorial 5 күн бұрын
It seems leaky decomps (or a bad decomp like in my case!) are really common Hobbit problems. It's definitely worth it to buy or borrow a compression tester to know for sure. Hobbits are a pretty simple beast (once you defeat the hard-er to access carb and get that clean which it sounds like you have). It could be leaky crank seals if all original but you can actually get to those without splitting the case which is neat. Happy wrenching

Please stop using those old, antiquated ignitions and switch to an electronic one. Yeah it costs money, but saves your nerves. A company called VEC makes really nice module called the "TV-2E" . Combine it with a 12v ignition coil and you have a really nice daily setup with nothing to ever ever adjust again!
@TravisTutorial 11 күн бұрын
Thank you for sharing! Looking into VEC & TV-2E was interesting, I buy all my parts from stateside suppliers, it looks like they are in Bosnia. Nice universal solution. Oh this bike will be getting a CDI ignition for sure in the future, I'm most interested in a retarding ignition at higher RPMs for even more cooling. 12V for LEDs will also be a bonus. In general, I've found points to be very reliable, I'm willing to bet the reason I got that replacement stator for free was because the points were arcing on the prior owner ha! But all sorted now.

Thank you for your honest video about your Toyota Hilux. I'm looking for a first 4x4 truck/SUV that is rough and can bring me to the highlands. I'm a filmmaker who likes to challenge the comfort zone and I might have an offer to get a 1991, 2.4 diesel Toyota Hilux pick up, driven around 300.000miles. I will maybe go to see it. It's an old farmer's family who is selling his old Toyota Hilux as no one is driving it any more. Do you have any suggestions on what to look for at the check? Any tips would be great. Thank you 👍
@TravisTutorial 26 күн бұрын
@idugonjic1 I wish we had the diesel option here, that is the dream - simple low revving engine. For a truck that's been on the farm you're going to really want to look at rust, the frame, suspension components, the bed, etc. Especially if you're going to be driving rough roads in a remote area. Beyond that, plan on a comprehensive service - all fluids, hoses, brakes, tires, etc. Set up right it can still be plenty reliable, but I'd plan on it needing just about every consumable item if it hasn't been on the road regularly in a long time.

@@idugonjic1 The best adage in used car shopping, it's worth whatever someone is willing to pay :) The sweet spot for a screaming good deal was a few years ago, unfortunately the very high cost of new trucks, and lower production numbers has pushed up the price on the older Toyotas. They are still a great value. I'm in the USA, so I can't give a figure on what a diesel hilux would be worth, we only get those as Japanese imports and those average around 15k USD though only the nice examples get imported. For something that's that high mileage, assuming the rest of it checks out and it's not a total rust bucket, I think it's fair to pay 3-5k USD.

Awesome bike. I have a very similar setup on my Targa LX. 15.15 Sha with a 62 jet, treats clutch pads, and blue springs, but I went from a biturbo to the estoril sidebleed and what a difference. I was running the metal mesh intake filter, but I went back to the factory airbox and that thing cruises nicely at 40 to 45 and it's very quiet. For the small amount of low end you lose, you gain so much top end, and likely wouldn't be bad for yours since you have the higher compression.
