What is the name of this part
What is the name of this particular part? Is it like an extended chassis mount? Got it from an Insta post from Thailand.

I imported a '98 Hilux Surf a few years ago, and have never had any issues. Passed emissions in my county multiple times, even a month ago.
I recently got a letter in the mail that I've never seen before, even after living in Colorado for 20+ years. Apparently a citizen can report a smoking vehicle to the state, as it would be harmful to the environment, and have no chance of passing emissions...
The only issue is my Surf is a diesel...
I just wished the letter included my truck's make, model, and plate, so that I could frame this.
Any other US-based diesel Hilux owners experience this??
Wanna add, this isn't annoying in the slightest to me. I'm not looking for fixes because the letter is just a heads up that my gasoline vehicle isn't running right. I just found it amusing

Hey everyone,
I’ve got a good offer on a 2003 Hilux with the 2KD-FTV engine. My original plan was to find an older LN106 or even an LN65, since I’m a big fan of simple, old-school rigs. But after some research I realised the 2.4 NA diesel might not have enough power to carry an overhang camper cabin.
2003 still feels “new” to me, but I do like the idea of the 2KD engine and the better driving comfort compared to the older models.
A few questions:
I’ve read that these don’t have a solid front axle, but considering the style of cabin I want to mount, I won’t be doing hardcore off-roading anyway.
Thanks a lot for any input 🙏

gday guys, just wondering if a 2014 hood would fit on a 2007 hilux. Need to swap mine over as it is damaged and i am able to get a 2014 one for a cheap price.

Hey all, have a Ln106 and it’s currently drawing current out my battery. l i used a different battery to try start and it still didn’t start but trying to just sounds like flat battery sound. took that battery out and battery terminals were a little melted and leads were hot. thinking it’s a overcharging alternator but wondering if there’s another underlying issue as the alternator was replaced not long before my ownership (5 months ago, haven’t driven much) any help is appreciated. Reply if i haven’t clearly explained it 🪑’s

Anyone built up a camper on a v-active hilux and tapped into the 48v system for camper power?
Any tips or pit falls?
Is it even possible/practical?
(They have an inbuilt 220v accessory socket)
Or is it better to just go a PPS?

Hi, just thought I’d gather some feedback if anyone else has needed a repair of their front diff I’ve just recently been quoted $2800 to fix it which to me seems like a lot just wondering if that’s fairly reasonable?
Im trying to replace the timing belt on my own on my 94 hilux Surf. The belt that was in there and the replacment belt were both unmarked so I put a mark on the one that was in there when the gears were at top dead center then copied to marks onto the new belt. Now when I rotate the engine by hand they dont line up. Not sure what I can do about that so any advice is welcomed.

New rims arriving next week, would be nice to wrap them in some new rubber as well.
Looking at a 265/70/17.. in the $350 to $500 range.
Either a Rugged Terrain or an Aggressive AT. The vehicle does more road work, then serious mud bogs!
PFA!

I need the part for the Hole in the bottom of my air box missing. Looks like it's a gromout and it not being there let's heaps of dirt in. Any idea of the part? 3.0L turbo diesel kun26

hoping to get a 2004 3.4L V6. on petrol. but just a bit worried on the price of fuel as it also has a 100 L added tank. Anyone own one + how much it usually cost+ does it last
2002 hilux. 2.7litre EFI petrol. Power curve has a flat spot at 3000rpm. Power can noticeably kick in at 3250-3500 but it's inconsistent. Sometimes it doesn't even kick in at all.
My guess is that the inconsistency may have to do with the EFI or one of the systems supporting it but I'm no mechanic. My mechanic doesn't seem interested. Just wants to set it per the manual.
Is it possible to set it differently? I'd really like to have a smoother power curve preferably kicking in at around 3000. And for it to be consistent...

Hi, hope it’s okay to post I’m looking for some help and new to the world of Reddit…
UK - I have a mk5 hilux, a bit rugged, mk4 bumper I believe. Questionable two tone paint job by previous owner.
I’d like to change the front seats to something more comfortable, I have some grey seats out of an old bmw e46 that I was hoping to put in. Has anyone changed the rail position before or made adapters etc.
I found a post about using 3 series seats in a hilux a while ago and now unfortunately I can’t find it to double check.

I have been offered by a closing company where I deliver goods a 2005 Hilux diesel 2.5l manual. Only rear wheel drive. Cab with bench and bed cover. No rust. Leak from oil pan. Old batteries. No aircon. But only 116k km. They ask for it 7k eur. What do you guys think? Is this a reasonable price for EU? Is this a realible car as a daily? What mpg should I expect. Am currently driving a VW golf 7.

I've got a 2013 Dual cab and want to put 275/70R16s on it. it already has a 2-inch lift. I want to know if they'll fit without rubbing
I’m a noob. Just trying to get some info on what people have upgraded to. Can’t seem to track down my speaker sizes in the front and back door. Nor can I find any info on what kind of touch screens would fit into the truck? Any helpful info would be much appreciated. I have a 2002 Hilux 2.7 turbo diesel VX.

We have this Hilux GR 2022, it is getting fast sometimes…. stays at 1200rpm
It’s not always, but sometimes….
I thought it could be due to the DPF regeneration, but when it does this procedure it warns on the dashboard, which doesn't happen in this case...
ideas?

Hey team, chasing a bit of advice. I recently bought part 81611-89101 for my 1981 RN40 Hilux (Aussie model), but when it arrived it didn’t fit.I’ve attached a pic showing the difference between what I got vs what’s actually on my ute. Has anyone run into this before, or know the correct part number I should be chasing? Any leads on where to source the right one would be amazing.
Cheers in advance
