    Quick question to the experienced RTT fitted adventurers - How much of a difference/hinderance in offroad performance does it make fitting a RTT above the cab compared to fitting it below cab height above the bed? More so when in off camber offroading situations.....would the difference be...

    2008 Tacoma D-4D swap *pics*

    Wait till you chip the engine.....I fitted a "Chip-It" module last week to my D4D auto with a 3" exhaust. With my standard diff ratio's and 305/70x16 tyres I can guarantee between 1800-3,000rpm the D4D Hilux will out accelerate a standard 1GR V6 Hilux. The thing pulls like a freight train. I...

    2008 Tacoma D-4D swap *pics*

    Scott, The D4D Hilux is a great engine/vehicle but Toyota has messed up the overall setup of the vehicle. I dont know if you drove the manual or auto, but the 1st gear in the auto's is very very tall and the final drive of 3.73 in the auto (3.5 for manual) is too low..... these coupled...

    2008 Tacoma D-4D swap *pics*

    The auto that is in my current shape 2007 Hilux D4D is an A340F (4 speed) for reference. 1 st gear is too tall for my liking...why they didn't stick the Prado 5 speed auto that comes on the prado D4D beats the hell out of me. The A340F has a 2.8:1 first gear whilst the manuals in the hilux's...

    2008 Tacoma D-4D swap *pics*

    With the diesels power isnt important...torque is as you would know. A Chipit power chip has a boost controller built in so you can dioal in another 3 to 4 pounds of boost safely. 3" dump pipe from the back of the turbo and 3"free flowing exhaust works well on the D4D. These will give you from...

    2008 Tacoma D-4D swap *pics*

    These 3 litre D4D's can be modded to put out almost the same amount of torque reliably as well....I know of a couple Thailand outfits that are pulling 700nM of torque in their hilux's.....low revving...massive torque and heaps of performance. (thats over 500ft/lbs of torque in your measurement)
