The rubber elbow on the CES intake is industrial strength rubber and is about twice the thickness of the TRD elbow. It will not break in a hurry and is a lot harder to fit than the TRD one. Plus the elbow for the CES CAI is 3" on both ends.

a proper reinforced silicon reducer elbow from thermalflex, SFS etc is the BEST option, but also the most expensive at approx $70 for the bend. Beware of a lot of the cheap silicon reinforced hose on ebay, some of that is no better than the crappy plain rubber elbows.

The last lot of silicon reinforced hose, elbows and reducers we got was ordered from the US. Including T-bolt clamps and express shipping the total was about 60% the cost of purchasing just the hose locally.

CES rubber elbow is 3" both ends as stated above <_< You cannot clamp it down .25" to match the 2.75" diameter of the TRD CAI asit is a heavy reinford rubber elbow that doesn't really bend.

Castle Hill Toyota has a hose :D

If they have the hose there and you plan to purchase it, aren't you afraid that it will crack like your one has? I'm just thinking if it's cracked once maybe it will crack again even if you dont tighten the clamps too tight

      Hi Team Toyota, I am fortunate enough to be the proud owner of 2 Toyota's - an '03 Rav4 AWD Cruiser and an '07 Toyota Hiace. Both have been reliable and strong with incredible components that are so well fitted, it's a struggle to dismantle any part of them. I'm modifying my van and will probably have to sell the Rav to complete the project. I will look forward to learning much from you all and wish you all happy and safe motoring. Gidget

      Landcruiser 200 GPS

      I got mine from GTzone, a 7-inch head unit for my 2018 Land Cruiser. I think all the aftermarket Android screens are very similar. My one from GTzone came with a GPS antenna, I believe the one from Brummstadt should include one as well. It has two options for using the navigation app, one is to insert a SIM card or share a hotspot from your phone to use the navigation apps, which uses the built-in GPS antenna, the other is to use the built-in Apple CarPlay system, which uses the phone’s GPS for navigation. In my case, because I always travel to the outback during my vacations, some areas have no signal at all. So, I downloaded offline maps from the Play Store to use for navigation, which doesn’t need internet during navigation and only uses the built-in GPS. It saves your phone’s power at the same time, I guess? So far, it has never failed me, never led me to the wrong roads, or shown me in ridiculous places like driving on a river LOL This is the product I mentioned above from GTzone, in case someone is interested: https://gtzone.com.au/products/toyota-landcruiser-200-series-2016-present-7-inch-wireless-carplay-android-auto-head-unit-navigation-bluetooth-wifi-head-unit

      300 series turbo issues

      We have a GR that had the 7th Injector replaced June 2024 (warning came up on dash Dec 2023 @ approx 18k) toyota cleaned injector in Jan when they inspected the problem and said parts will be 8 - 12 weeks (i dont know why so long for a common problem) but they advised to continue to drive / tow as normal. 3 months later parts arrived and they said they will complete job at june 2yr service interval. It was notated on paperwork torque bolts were re torqued. Today driving up blue mountains 70kmh to Katoomba towing 3.2T Zone RV van i experienced the turbo chirp on and off and the power dropping / surging. Lasted about 5-10 secs going up mountain but gave me a shock as havent experienced it before (hence the googling now and reading about previous issues) it didnt happen again but we arrived at caravan park 15 mins later and i didnt find a hill again with same steep incline as when it happened. In the 18 months of towing i havent experienced it before and car has been faultless. Todays trip was only fm Toowoon Bay to Katoomba so be interesting to see if it happens when we head to Bathurst in a few days on any steep inclines. Car is at 33k now. Currently 1 month into a 5 month trip.

      Any 2L motors for sale?

      I have a 2003 Cruiser that has done a bearing. My car is in beautiful condition otherwise. I've enquired at wreckers but to be honest they are asking far too much. Any help, referral, suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

      Proud Owner of Toyota Crown

      I was very happy with my Toyota Crown but unfortunately, I had an accident after which I was not able to repair it fully and several problems were arising day after day so I started to search for Cash for cars near me and I found the best one with the name of PS Car Removal. Everyone should consult PS Car Removal if they want to sell their used, broken, or damaged car.

      2013 Toyota Rav4 diesel head gasket issues

      Hi everyone .. I have a 2013 Toyota Rav4 diesel .. which has blown a head gasket at 120,000 kms while we were on holidays .. it is being repaired .. $5K later .. and I'm seriously thinking about selling it. Wondering if others have this issue or if it is a know deficiency in the diesels I have had 2 other Rav's both petrol with no issues like this and it is way too early in the life of the car to be dealing with these issues I would have thought. Cheers Steve

      Hilux Dash Lights

      Hey, I’m Skye! 😊 Today while driving my 2012 Toyota Hilux the engine light, traction control light and ABS light come on all together on the dash and the car lost most of its power. The lights are solid and are still there. I have parked it up for now. Has anyone had a similar issue happen or know what the cause could be? Just a FYI - it was serviced 2000kms ago and has 241,000km on the odometer. I will be taking it to a mechanic but as it’s my only means of transport and I live remotely and can’t get to into the mechanic for a week, I thought I’d check whether it might (wishful thinking I think) be something easy? Thanks so much in advance! Skye ☺️
