    A slight reduction in intake air temps and possibly EGT as well and, oh, I dunno, looks cool?
    Form and function, perfect?

    When I'm towing up hill I have been getting IAT's up around 90 deg so see how it goes next time we're out and about with the camper on a trip.
    I probably wouldn't have done the mod if it didn't really only cost $65 or so and some of my time.

    Cheers

            • Just ordered AMTS shift lever repair kit as suddenly got quite hard to move out of park. Hopefully that should sort it out.

              • New Bendix 4x4 rear pads today. Giving the T2 rotors a skim tomorrow as I'm chasing a pesky braking vibration.
                Rotors are only 5k old but what the hell, if a skim doesn't fix it its something else.

                Also dropped a New Bank 1 Sensor 2 O2 sensor in as well, cleared all the fault codes (P0037) and made the toyota xmas tree lights on the dash finally go away.
                Why you would turn off TRC VSC etc for a simple o2 issue i dont know..

                Got the o2 sensor thru Amayama's new Aust warehouse. Toyyota $320. Trade $237. Amayama $86 inc freight.

                • How did you go getting the sensor out Piggy? Looks like a bugger of a spot to get to...
                  Also, what was the part number for the O2 sensor from Amayama? the cheapest I have seen on their site ex Sydney was $175

                        Hey Piggy,

                        The rear T2 rotors can sometimes not mate well on the rear hub. I've had to twice skim down the internal lip on the T2 rotors for two different 120's to get them to sit flat on the hub.

                        Both of those 120's had previously run the same T2 rotors which ended up rippling badly.

                        You can feel the poor T2/hub misfit by hand!

                        Best

                        • Yeah I checked that with a dial, and have put them back on without cleaning rear hubs on purpose.
                          A skin took the shimmy out.
                          So don't suspect it was Hub related.

                          Odd one all the less, but sorted now.

                            Gave the old girl a service, done all fluids diffs, transfer case, gearbox, engine, filters, greased prop shaft. Was going to fit an EGT gauge but the bolt on the exhaust covering the sensor hole is stripped so will continue that tomorrow and fit some new headlight globes.

                            Oil pickup screen is all clear, and i got lucky with the hex bolts on the front diff no monkeys had swung off them so they come off fine.

                            • 5 way wheel rotation, rear left Firestone air bag out for some soapy water and a few pictures (chasing a slow leak around the air line fitting),
                              Greased all uni joints and prop shafts.
                              Removed AMTS under body Armour - in prep for trans service. Pulled out starter motor for a clean up and re lube.
                              Checked drive belt and idler pulleys.
