Hiya Guys,

I know you have seen this before but I have meshed the lower grill and wanted to post a picture to see what you guys think. This is my first attempt at a mod apart from the aftermarket head unit and I think it turned out pretty good. Hopefully in the next week or so I will be picking up a Lexus style chrome grill from Aur3on to complete the mod. Now all I need is a new front bar skin as this one is covered in stone chips <_<

Cheers

Peter

That is definitely different. Well done on the job, it looks clean.

The mesh looks like it is installed good but I'm not sure it will really suit the car. You should take some pictures from further pack to show is the whole car look.

Yeah I have been looking at it for a couple of days and im thinking I may paint it black, was waiting for the chrome grill to see if it would look better silver or black but i guess the black would match the vents and I do like the white and black contrast.

Thanks for your opinions guys I will post more pics when I decide which way to go :clap:

Hey Peter, I think it looks great, If you paint it black it will just disappear. Practical too, protect the radiator.

I personally wouldn't do it If I were you.

Your body kit isn't sportivo and the grill is standard, unless you go the Sporty grill from Thai and make the same mesh.

It doesn't blend in. I'm not sure If you were to colour it black.

For you, just make a single linining, silver like Hidden Taco.

Yeah I had to do something the webs in the original lower grill were broken and it looked pretty crappy and this was a cheap alternative to finding an original one. Hope to pick up a lexus chrome grill from Aur3on soon and also looking at installing fog lights, should make it look a little better. I really like what Hidden Taco has done with his lower grill, it really suits his car.

Cheers

Now that I have seen a whole car picture I have to say it really doesn't suit which is a pity because it looked like a quality job.

Mesh should always be black in my opinion.

You are gonna hate me, but I probably would start with a new mesh and wouldn't paint it unless you plan on doing 3 Coates because the second it chips your going to see white.

Yeah I was going to head to Supercheap this arvo and pick up some black mesh, the thought of painting it didnt really appeal to me and it would cost half the price of a sheet of black mesh. I will mesh it black on the weekend and post up a new pic.

Thanks for the input guys really appreciate it.

Cheers

      MWR Oil Pump

      Thanks for your response, I’m just hoping and praying that the oil pump will withstand the over-revving which is why I purchased the product. Also, I know very well about the flaws of the 2ZZ in regards to the oil pump and oil sump.

      MWR Oil Pump

      MWR are a reasonably respected name in the aftermarket 2ZZ business, they're not the cheapest (especially with shipping) but the products are usually solid. In this case though it is only the oil pump gear itself which is upgraded (as that was the issue with the stock ones), the housing is new/refurbed OEM Toyota/Aisin. FYI 4340 is the grade used, it's a high-tensile chrome-moly steel. I believe the stock ones are sintered (ie powdered steel pressed in to shape at high pressure/temperature), which contributes to their propensity to shattering (although I think it is much rarer than people are lead to believe, and usually as a result of over-revving via mis-shifting)

      Engine starts but won’t rev, only idles. 2002 Hilux 4d4

      I left my fridge on in car for five days and it completely ran the battery flat. I have replaced with new battery and engine starts but only idols cannot be revved at all. Any ideas?

      MWR Oil Pump

      My new Monkeywrench Racing Oil pump came in the mail last week ago, which had been shipped from RideRound.nl in the Netherlands. Does anyone know anything about Monkeywrench Racing? Do you all think I made a good choice buying this aftermarket oil pump? I ordered it to to upgrade from the stock OEM one which is vulnerable to disintegration. The aftermarket one is meant to be bulletproof because it is made from some type of so-called '4340 steel'.

      Loss of power

      Hi Darryl, I’ve just read your post about loss of power in your UZJ200R and multiple fuel pump replacements. I have the same issue in my 4.7L and was wondering if you were able to get the issue resolved? My loss of power occurs after approximately 5 hours of towing a load (caravan) and results in loss of power and eventual engine backfiring. The problem resolves it self after a few hours of cool down time. I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel & air filters, plugs, ignition coils and mass airflow sensor but still have the issue. My auto electrician suggests that I now replace the fuel pump control computer (part no. 89570-60160) that sits on top of the right chassis rail just forward of the right rear wheel. He thinks this might be getting hot which could then affect the integrity of the signals being sent to the fuel pump. I look forward to your reply.
