julz's 06 extracab. NEW HILUX

[06lux]

Wicked.

[06lux]

Just ordered one of these. Works with the iPhone app torque. See how it goes when it gets here

[country kid]

Those things are pretty good value, let you clear fault codes ect. Not bad for 20$

[06lux]

Yeah figured at that price what's there to loose

[06lux]

This Arvo I got a deposit for my tray bloke in Sydney is putting it on his Colorado. Havnt actually bought a tub yet can you believe there is only 3 black extra cab tubs for sale I'm the whole of Australia and none a in brisbane. Got to ring back tripple m's contact again tomorrow see what they got.

Had to send that module back too. Stupid me bought the wrong one. Should have the right one soon.

[06lux]

Tray is gone and the new tub is on. Spent all weekend putting it together. Couldn't find a black one so got a gun metal grey for a bargain. I'll paint it sometime. Looks half decent in 2 colours. Also painted the chassis looks schmick.


Shit photo but you get the idea.

[hilux_bondy_007]

Looks a lot better with a tub. That's my problem I can't find a black one so thinking getting one and gloss wrapping it or Matt black the whole car

[06lux]

Yeah I like it. So much more responsive too. The tray was 240kg.
What's wrong with you tub man?

Oh right. There's heaps of tailgates for sale on eBay. Not many tubs though. I was lucky scored the tub for $250

[hilux_bondy_007]

I haven't seen many

[06lux]

I forgot to get my mechanic today to put the cable on for the fuel door. Anyone know how hard it would be to do it myself. And does anyone have a spare I could have?

[06lux]

Can anyone help me here. It started Thursday with just my head unit turning itself on and off and rebooting itself. But as of yesterday Arvo I'd start the car and it would switch itself of turn it back on and it's sweet but the lights would flicker and head unit would reboot again. Turning it of to accessories would completely shut down the whole car. ie, lights off radio off dash off cabin light off with door open. It has never done this before and I have not touched any of the wireing ever. Anyone have an idea?
The battery is less than a year old

[Lunny88]

Could be a dodgy earth on vehicle

[06lux]

Yeah I'll have a look. Any other ideas

[boxhead55]

Sounds like your altinator is not charging your battery and everything is running out of power

[Lunny88]

If it was alternator, battery would be dead by now.. Wouldn't it?.

[Pete'90]

Do you have a dual battery system if so what type and where is the charger mounted?

[06lux]

Na just the single battery. The battery is fine. It kicks over normally. It starts fine too that's why I'm confused. When it's running it al works like normal only on startup and shutdown these things happen

[Pete'90]

Ok, mine did something similar to this, though only the lights behind the speedo from what I could see, I have my ctek mounted on the top of my fuse box and found that one of the m4 bolts holding it down was rubbing the top of the dcc fuse (causing arcing between the 2 pins of the fuse), this 30a green supplies power to the fuses for the ecu-b 10a, dome 7.5a fuse and the rad 15a audio system, all this info is on page 308 of the manual, I replaced the metal bolt with a nylon m4 bolt and issue is gone. Maybe this will help you
