Oh ok cool, it'll do for the moment though, yeah the current filter is a bit not nice, and like everything on a Toyota it costs a fair bit!!

And know all about the too much oil bit as I race bikes and bad things happen with lots of filter oil

So maybe a all around tune if the engine is worth doing? Just to freshen it up?

Hah it's ok it's a good site, and cool I'll have a look at both the thread and dynamat

Yeah well I thought I may as well be realistic about it,no use wasting cash on burnt rubber!

Ok cool cheers!

Ok cool, thankyou for all this help I actually have an idea now!

Will have to take a trip down to the curry and find a wreckers

Nothing decent where I live

As for tires yeah I think 265x75 16 or 275s on 16x7 will suit it well

And legal , and yeah looking for nice ATs as realistically I won't be doing 4wding as my primary use, but none the less still go places

Yeah it gets quite hot, would a tune up help? Like a decent once over by a turbo fitter?

It already has a 2.5 inch pipe on it and fairly new, compared to the rest of the rig

Haha subs I wish but some decent fusion speakers should do the trick

Not like the rattling will ever go but gonna do marine carpet door liners, roof and back wall to make it a little nicer inside

Anyway thanks again!

Love it

Lach

And yeah top mount seems to be the logical choice!

Does it have to be cruiser specific or any old one with custom pipes?

G'day all good ,

Haha right ok sounds like a bit of a shady area!

I'll see what the local tyre place recommends

Head unit is in a works a charm!

And cool

Yeah intercooler will happen eventually

Just a matter of gettin cash!

As for the scoop I'll see what's hanging around, and the truck radiator sounds good too, there has been a small fire in it before so I'm a it iffy about heat haha

Thankyou for the help it's brilliant!

Ok thankyou, I'll check to see it's just a basic looking stereo but won't hurt to check, and yeah it's pretty bad, just want to start fresh with new wires I think, and oh ok cool, I was thinking maybe some discoverys or BFG all terrains, I spose with the grabbers they are all basically the same sorta tire, and is 265 75 16 good size for it? I mean they seem a little small but want this legal haha!

As for the lockers I think I'll definitely check all the lines, won't hurt I guess!

With the intercooler I think it will be one of those jobs I'll get eventually, not the biggest issue yet as roadworthy and stuff need to happen first, I like the idea of a top mount with a small scoop, but is there any benefit with going a front mount? Like on the radiator?

Patrol scoop or 79 I think will good!

And I hadn't thought of a new radiator but it makes a lot of sense, I'll look into it for sure, I had a little bit mote of a look and the bonnet liner above the turbo has caught a tad on fire once upon a time!

Thankyou for all the help it's great!

as for the highmount yeah I'm going to have to pull it off anyway for the bullbar to be powder coated, i have basic electrical understanding, if its too complex ill take it to the auto elecs i think

Ok great thank you, I'm thinking the lighter plug will work well, with the original wires who knows, its had a second head unit placed in the glove box with some awful wiring, not sure what any of it is, any way now its just a case of solder in the new bits and should be right i believe

oh sweet okay, yeah I'm looking to keep flares off it, i had in mind General Grabber AT2s for the rubber, these should be ok? for 65%road 35% off road, it did come with front and rear air lockers so this may help

one last question would be i was thinking a intercooler might be wise, its a turbo 2H and it has gotten quite hot in the past apparently, as in melting the black bonnet grille hot haha, does anyone know much about putting these on a 2H?

anyway thank you for the help GC_AUS

Gday all, I have some, I spose you could say I have rather "newbie" questions for my 1989 75 Cruiser ute.

its my first car so I'm trying to do stuff on a budget

So I'm installing a new head unit, a JVC one, I need to find out what turns on with the ignition, so far I can find nothing, I though the clock but its not working or the fuse is cocked, just what fuse?

Another probably really simple question but I cant seem to find the right answer anywhere is that I want to put 16 inch Sunrayias on it, for some 265 75 16 all terrains, what width sunnies and off set? I would like it to be legal.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but it has a Warn Highmount on it, 3 pin so I'm guessing that's old? I believe its a 8000lbs one, not 100% though, anyway when I went to try it clicked, but didn't move, or even try to move, a tiny bit of smoke came from where the solenoids are, so I'm guessing its the solenoids that need replacing, does anyone know what type and where?

Again sorry if these sound like really basic questions, but after some extensive digging I couldn't find anything really, so thankyou if anyone has the answers :)

Cheers
