thats one tough vehicle ,,,, i also also searching for some thing similar to rebuilt it from ground zero ,,,,,,,, by the way how much you pay for it , if you want to share ,,,,,,,, also search its workshop manual and carry its hard copy with you , that will be very very useful while rebuilt ,,,,,,,,,,,

[imranmaskeen]

Insha'Allah I will. Thanks

[imranmaskeen]

Shocks and springs. Did i mentioned I only prefer Toyota genuine parts (if available).

[Xulfiqar]

With all new genuine bushings etc.

Tighten at ride height only.

Your truck will ride like a brand new one.

[imranmaskeen]

Yes Xulfiqar sb. You are very right.
Its swing is gone and now it is like it shd have been.

I need to look into rear springs again. I dont want lift or say i cant have lift in my vehicle as my Mother is old and my kids are young. However, i would like to have some performance springs in standard height. Suggestion are welcome.

[imranmaskeen]

How can I forget Differential oil. Again Toyota

[Xulfiqar]

If you ever get a chance to get hold of mystik/citgo gear oil - you will become a believer.

That is the only gear oil Ive come across that keeps on protecting like a champ even when it gets supremely hot, and when it cools off, the oil doesnt oxidise as badly as you would see on other brands,

The funny part of it is that its bright red - so leaks look like ATF, lol.

I use it in old BMW, Mercedes Benz, any chevy/ford (dosed with traction additive as required) - and specially the Ford PTUs on their AWD cars (they cook themselves to death).

The other is Delo ESI gear oil, lower cost solution, quite light oil too.

This toyota oil is good stuff - its basically SAE 90 industrial gear oil that toyota have been using since I was not even born. The bad thing about it is that it becomes gel in frigid weather and remains gel for 10 or 12 kms.

Sir thanks a lot for your valuable knowledge sharing. I will do the same next time.
Abhi paisay pani ki tarhan beeh gaya hai so can't redo what have already been done.

Now I will start doing interior. Need to address a few noices i.e kichiiii kichiii, choooon choooon, karich karich etc etc. So if you have any suggestion plz do share it here

[imranmaskeen]

Can someone suggest me where to buy good rear springs from. Have anyone used new springs available in market.

Thanks in advance

[imranmaskeen]

To whom it may conrcern

[imranmaskeen]

OK guys

Which Coolant is best for 1kz and what ratio should be used? Plz mention the name which is easily available in Pakistan, preferable in RWP.

Thanks in advance

[agoodfriend]

caltex orange , 850 RS per litter ,,,, i recently purchase for my 2L engine ,,,,,, will be used 50/50 mix ,,,,,,,,,

[Xulfiqar]

as @agoodfriend said - caltex orange.

you will need close to 4 or 5 bottles as I believe your truck takes about 8 or 10 litres of coolant mixture.

[capsat]

@imranmaskeen the cover you posted is of fusebox over side panel under dash. i can see trailer fuse - do you have a trailer hook with plug at rear ?

[Xulfiqar]

All of these have the wiring already in place, its just a missing harness about 16 inches long.

[imranmaskeen]

Thanks dear. Yes 1kz have 9ltr capacity.

I have a few more questions
1. How about toyota long life coolant? will it be fine with 50/50 ration or its harmfull?
2. I have heard mixing 2T oil with diesel for 1KZ is good idea. Do you recommend it and what ration should be used with 87ltr tank fill?

Thanks in advance

[imranmaskeen]

Thanks for help.
coming to your second question. No sir I dont have trailer plug.

[Xulfiqar]

dont buy 50/50 coolant, its a waste of money - buy concentrate and use that to make life easy.

9 litre capacity will be inclusive of heater core and also overflow bottle to max mark, so make sure the heater is connected, measure the overflow tank capacity to full mark, set aside 50% of that capacity from your concentrate then subtract that from your systems concentrate capacity (concentrate capacity is half of total capacity)
.
after full flush and clean drain of system, pour in concentrated coolant and then keep on adding RO or distilled water till its full, cap it and start the engine, wait for it to burp itself Add water to expansion tank till its max capacity also. Watch gauge for overheating etc.
