Added some Spidertraxx wheel spacers. Make a huge difference. I can actually hold off on wheels now. Been wanting some SCS wheels, but you have to be a celebrity to buy them… Took the truck skiing. Installed an inline coolant heater so she’ll start colder then minus 10 Celsius.

Hello, I am looking at a 2nd gen 4runner. 1995. Is it possible to swap in the 89 Grill and Headlights in? Is it a direct bolt on or is some fab work involved. I like the older more classic look. Thanks!

Still have this...?

I am trying to install a block heater on my 1KD Diesel. Can I just take out any freeze plug and replace it with a block heater? There is literally no info on this anywhere on the internet, because these engines came from warm climates. I have located a particular freeze plug that looks like a...

I have a 01' Hilux Surf (Limited Styling), with a front rake that quite bugs me. I was thinking of installing the 99' Highlander front springs to get rid of it...? Are there any better options? Don't really want to lift it and I could still size the tires up next time around.

I have an 01' Hilux Surf without cruise control. Anyone know how to wire one up? Or is it a huge hassle? Any alternatives if so? Thank you all for your input.

Hello, Are the daytime running lights the orange corner lights beside the main headlight assembly? Trying to pass a safety, hoping those will count as DTR's as I would hate to have to wire DTR's to the main bulb. Any advice appreciated. Thanks

Thanks! The diesel is awesome, lots of torque and super cheap to run so far. 8.5L/100KM (27MPG)..

Thanks. So far so good. There are enough RHD vehicles up here in Canada, that people are used to them...

Picture. Here is the picture!

Hello everyone, Long time member here.. owning a 98' over 5 years ago. Stumbled across this 01' Hilux with a 3.0 1KD-FTV diesel, so I bought it, as everything from around Canada is rusted out. Anyway, here is the first pic of my build. Hoping to find more Hilux owners here too...!
