Wagon_R.... I hear yuh... I hear yuh giving me talks. Honestly I posted this up awhile ago on the forum. Travelling again.

Hog... At least I know somebody have my back. I know this man want to see to see what the SR5 looks like in some mud.

323_Wagon_Dude... I'm not sure what your idling issue is related to. The 1kz-te idles at 950 rpm when cold and at about 700 rpm when warm. I wondering if it's related to the ECU. At least it's not cutting off nor smoking excessively. Team Loco had some problems with his new model that was related to the fuel system. I suggest you do some on research Toyota's IMV project and look at some reviews. I know they've been some issues with the new IMVs/VIGOs Hilux.

Saeid....what's the latest? Have you decided on a color for the van? And when am I going to get a sticker?

BTW... fellas I have a PBS RAV4 (local, awd, fully loaded) for sale. It'll be up on Trinicarsforsale website by tomorrow.

Gosh, after reading 90+ pages, I think I should at least say something. Here goes:

Hello all, this thread has been very informative especially for first time diesel owners like myself. Though it diverged at times, it still managed to provide a wealth of information relevant to the local situation w.r.t. diesel maintenance from a local perspective. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this thread for further nuggets of valuable information.
Thank you all.

Saied, i am all one for being different and making your vehicle stand out so count it as 2 for the red/silver but to get the same look yo might need a couple coats of clear.
