Hi I have a 2004 Hilux 4x2 I have a genuine towbar from a 2005 model, can I put this on my lux? Do I need to buy a new fitting kit or will the 2005 one fit? Thanks I would appreciate the advice.

Hi ELEGANT, don't have any pics. I asked if anyone knew if towbar off a 2005 hilux will fit my 2004 hilux workmate 4x2, if it does can you buy the fitting kits for them?

The part numbers from Hayman Reece don't changeover from one to the next. If your new vehicle is the current shape, 04/2005 onwards, then it is a different towbar. I'm fairly sure the chassis is wider on the newer model too.

We've just updated one of our company utes, and the other we're not just yet 'cause the trade boxes don't swap over as the chassis is wider.

Hi Yonnee, You are correct. The Chassis is a little wider about 2 or 3 cm (darn it) and there is a cross memberthat goes across the chassis under the tray, the towbar fitting plate is shaped like a hook goes around the cross member. Adding to my wows the older towbar's fitting plate is welded on to the actual bar the new one is bolted and the old one is straight with a small hook that goes into a hole on the chassis with two bolts holding it on the new one has three bolt. It is quite a bit different. um don't want to buy a towbar do you? They retail for $280.00 The one I have is almost brand new and in excellent condition sell for 180.00. It is not a Hayman Reece but a genuine toyota part.

Sorry, new ute's not mine. I bought the old one, the '03 model.

And the new one's got a towbar already.

You shouldn't have too hard a time off loading it, it suits mid '05 to current.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
