Saied,

Dad's Dan on the UB Highway had some L200 parts

the non-turbo K74 tailgate should be the same as your turbo K74

Boxman.... sorry to hear that the Mazda sold. But like Freak said take your time. What's for you for you. PM me your # if I see anything I'll call you.

Saied remember a while ago I was talking about painting over. The quote I got was $7500 which I found high but it's not everyday you meet a painter who is a perfectionist. He's in California if you're looking for another option, you can check him out. He told me that the complete job would have taken 2-3 weeks. I told myself 4 cause I've seen him work.

Freak I'll be out of the country on training ... you guys go ahead but be sure to take some pics.

Next fill up, I'm going to try some acetone. 3 ounces per tankful.

BTW ... last week I changed the air filter (ended up the original from TTTL) and I'm seeing a slight increase in fuel economy ~ approx 6%. Next fill up I'll let you know what's the mileage is like.

i have another question
what do yall think about the 4x2 Hilux?

KiD · Posted: Sun Jun 10, 2007 11:58 pm Post subject:

a 4x2 hilux is a good investment but its limited off road, you run the risk of getting stuck in heavy mud/sand imo id never buy a 4x2 the 4x4 is a must for me.
