After something for my new '94 KZN130 Surf, something I can stick a winch into. Doesn't have to be super-heavy-duty.
Any other fruity bits I should buy? New tyres are First on my list. Might get some KL71s since they're mad cheap for my 15" rims

Truck nuts? fluffy dice?
Compressor and high lift jack and some points you can use said jack.
Chrome dipstick and straight through ashtrays are always cool!
We just got some mean Bash plates made up at TM automotive round near Millars on the work trucks. Forget how much they cost?
Old Man Emu Suspension, that is the business!
gun racks and bullet hole stickers
Snorkel?
shovel, shackles, short and long strops, shit paper.
definitely the snorkel - reduced my fuel use by about 8%
tyre pressure guage and decent pump
Yeah the list currently is
New tyres
Snorkel
Shocks
Winch/winch bar
Compressor
Roo Jack
I have a bunch of straps and shit from my old truck
Congrats on the new truck Gimp.
There's tonnes of shit around for that model. I'm after a set of bullbars for my 96, which is a different shape... having a hard time finding a set for that. I just want something I can put some spotlights on.
Seat covers
Sh*t paper and wet wipes in the glove box
This guy is good to deal with and good prices. I have winch bumper running boards etc from him.

As long as everyone walks away with no long lasting injuries then all is good :cool:
Doesn't look like another vehicle was involved in your one Gimp
There's a guy here in North Canty that does AMAZING barwork and engineering on 4wd's. He makes snorkels to suit as well.

Nice truck Gimp ;)
Winch bar be good ,would leave the bullbar off.Hit anything solid with the bullbar will probably twist your chassis.
Toyota's a a bustard for doing it apparently . Mud collector for under your pedals would be smart .
What kind of mileage are you guys with 1KZTE surfs getting? I'm only getting around 400k's to 50 litres, roughly. Is that about what to expect?
Is 600km to $80 of fuel good? not sure how many liters it is.
Yeah you're getting average fuel consumption there. The 1KZ Surfs can be a tad thirsty.
Muddies can make fuel consumption worse as well.
Spoke to my old man (he's got a 95). The model before mine. He gets 500~ out of a tank.
Different tank size maybe?
I used to get 550k out of the 2.8 lux only time it would drop is off road where it can take a couple of hours to go a couple of ks.
When i supercharged it it dropped to 450-500k. Must have been a 60l tank but i never got more than 55 in it.
The cruiser can go anywhere from 900-450 k from 100l probably av about 650k
mine seems to be doing 10km per litre. although its doing nothing at the moment, fucking 1KZ heads :eyes on fire:
Check your PM's Konev ;)
Well,
all the oils and filters changed, radiator flushed out (was blocked as heck), snorkel and manual hubs fitted, 2x new batteries, new shocks coming.
Going to hit up Tom's Offroad for barwork all round when I go back to work next year
Nice!
Tom does some real awesome work. It's more like art. His skills are very impressive!
If anyone wants to see more examples of his work go to.....

You buy an auto one poss?
The head isnt the problem, the auto radiator is.
Mines the same as yours, manual etc. When I first got it id get 350-400 per tank, but if you drive them shifting way low in the rpm, i can get almost 500 per tank. I however drive it like a car.
At the moment I'm averaging 420km a tank, usually put 2 tanks through a week, and I get wayyyyyy more km's around town than on the open road. It revs far to high in 5th at 100 km, which may be why the autos are so much better on gas. Ive never got below 10l/100km in it.

It's actually intake temps that do the damage in the majority of the cases.
The whole cooling system does need to be kept in very good condition also though.
On the KZN185 models (intercooled turbo) the radiator has been changed to plastic tanks and larger core. Also the factory trans cooler has been relocated so that the pipe doesn't partially block the lower outlet (like on the KZN130 models).
At our work (Toyota dealership), we recommend people remove the factory trans cooler and fit an aftermarket cooler. And also replace the lower tank with a manual type (no cooler built in it).
1 of the best things to do is either block or, better still, remove the EGR system. This stops the intake temps getting so hot and will reduce the chances or the head cracking.
There are other things that can be done as well to help: viscous fan re-oiled, cooler thermostat (76 or 71 degree - factory is 82), larger free flow exhaust system and dump pipe are just some that make a noticable difference.
Also the factory temp gauge is known to be a very poor sign. There is a modification that can be done that increases the sensitivity of the gauge and is a lot more reliable than factory. (Temp Gauge Mod)
Snorkel seems to have improved my mileage by around 10%, I'm getting ~8.5km per litre now which is about the same as I got with my 1.6l petrol Rocky - but the Surf doesn't run on $2.30/l "premium" petrol
