Since we travel a LOT of dusty roads here in summer time I went ahead an installed a Safari Snorkel to the truck. The dust is so heavy here I wanted to get as much protection as possible before the season started. Safari makes two snorkels for this truck, one for the narrow body (mine) and one...

Here it is out in the wild. Near a lake called Lago Chapo, southern Chile. I actually have a Safari Snorkel in route, to help cut that dust entering the intake of this truck on the long chase truck duties it will have come summer time. So far so good, really nice truck.

If you go to ADVRider Forum check your feelings at the door. They play rough, but the info on gear and trails/map data is un matched.

Yes, I had a small build thread. I did this way before it was common place in the US. I'm not sure where the truck ended up. The canvas was sewn by a local shop in Atlanta and the fabrication was done by me and a friend with a TIG machine. The canvas was around a frame and I had a dual spare...

My buddy liked mine so much he bought one also and we did the same Old Man Emu suspension and painted the wheels block. 235/80s as well. Single cabs are awesome.

Its possible but I doubt it, here in Chile at least they don't even offer the reg cab long box with a gas engine, and I doubt the 2.7 could handle 1000 kilo payload in terms of torque. The highest payload truck available is the one I bough. The 4 door HIlux model has the 2.7 option but the pay...

I had the 2.7 gas engine in my old single cab Tacoma and it was a good engine but no way could it have held the same payload this Hilux has. The other big difference is the bed length, which is why I fabricated a flat bed for my Tacoma. Toyota USA has a very focused design strategy.

Yeah, Who the hell knows what the reason for not allowing the small diesel pick up truck. This thing is getting 30MPG right now with 32s. I was getting over 700KM to the tank on the hwy. My old 4 banger gas Tacoma couldn't touch that on a down hill with a tail wind.

Do it! I had a single cab Tacoma when I was back in the states and it was a fun truck as well, not nearly as heavy duty as this Hilux but fun non the less.

You know its funny, Besides from needing the long bed, and it being the only option really. I did start looking at payload capacity and this Hilux has 940 Kilo Payload. Right there with all the full size trucks in the 150/1500 range. Dwarfing the Tacoma by a lot as well. Over all its a really...

Well dang, Thank you! I was really happy with the result with just a few basic modifications using quality parts.

I haven't posted here in a very long time. But I thought you die hard Toyota fans would appreciate this new project of mine. I picked up a new 2022 Hilux 2.4 Turbo Diesel, 6spd manual trans with 4wd and factory E-locker last week. As you can see its a single cab, not super common but not rare...

You should join both ADVRider and Horizons Unlimited HUBB forum. Expedition Portal is all but dead for moto stuff. The Americas and Pan Am trips are common and tons of riders are doing them and on the road now posting up. Horizons Unlimited FB page is also really good for current info and...

Well in the US the Ram got the 6.7 at 2007.5 but here all the trucks were 5.9 untill 2010. Just curious if anyone knew this for the ROW spec trucks. I found it interesting as the 5.9 doesn't have any emmisions stuff, not even egr. I'm assuming that the 2009 5.9s here in Chile are all egr and...

Cummins experts and historians...... I have a question regarding the rest of world spec trucks. I live in Chile and see that ALL RAM 2500s through 2009 are 5.9 powered trucks. No DPF and the trucks here did not get the 6.7 until the major body change in 2010. Does anyone have info regarding...

We did check the fuse box under the dash, removed it cleaned it checked all fuses etc. How would I go about resetting the module tho?

Yeah its a tough Diag for me. The van runs perfect. Engine starts strong, runs well. But just about everything else is not working and the dash is lite up. I've scanned it with a Snap-On Verus which has pretty good info for Ford. What makes me really confused is it has zero ABS or Brake codes...

I have a 2013 E350 XLT Super Duty with AdvanceTrac. The van currently has the following issues. -No lights inside or out -No power windows -No power locks -No radio -Shift lock interrupter is not working when brake is applied -Has Service "Advencetrac" message on dash -The BRAKE ABS and TRAC...

I just looked at your links, If you are thinking to pull that big of a trailer with a D22. Good Luck. Those trucks are made for payload and not trailer capacity. Id say that trailer is to big for an old Terrano like that. Brakes and suspension are not the best of those old Nissans.

You say lots of time in Chile and Argentina. I'm assuming lots of time in Patagonia or from say Santiago/Mendoza south? I personally think a trailer would suck, parking in Chile and Argentina is a mess. Wind is a huge issue. Over all Id say a self container vehicle with as few a tires on the...
