    Cooling the 1KZ-TE motor:

    You need to find out why the leak is happening. Is it because someone has overtightened the housing in the past and deformed it? Don’t know if that’s possible but there will be a reason. Wrong bolts used that bottom out instead of tightening down on the housing perhaps? Go find why...

    Accessory Meter (Temp/Compass/Clinometer) info/details

    Oh I just remembered, the accesory pod has a polarizing filter in front of the lcd display. If the polarizer is already worn out, you’ll have difficulties with the readout even if illumination is on. I replaced mine with a polarizer film taken from a junked laptop. Just cut and paste . Hope this...

    The accesory pod also does a reset and reverts to default illumination always on mode whenever the car battery is disconnected. Please note though that all data stored will be erased and disconnecting the car battery may also reset your other accessories.

    I have the same accesory pod and i regularly turn the illumination on and off by “press and hold” the mode button. Just make sure that the compass is not in calibration mode.

    Help with tyre size

    Hi Shayne. . . now that you mentioned it, running on 265/75/16's the GPS says I'm cruising at 100KPH while the actual speedo says I'm at 110KPH. . . . no issues for me here. Its just that I'm sooooo tempted to go 285/75/16 for that bad boy offroader look or a 275/70/17 for that bling look :)

    You can also try this site, for comparison :) https://tiresize.com/comparison/ Your current 265/70 is much wider and taller and would register slightly faster on the speedo than the 215/80

    Beau's official Cruiser Story

    :thumbup: likewise here, I want the threads flushed with the wheel arches edge with just a little bit of the sidewalls sticking out. Maybe that 30mm would do it, just needing to find a store that will allow a trial fit. Would you know the offset of these new wheels please? Thanks Beau, Jim

    Beau, From the previous pictures, are those 30mm wheel spacers? Are you still using them with these new wheel setup? Jim

    LED headlamp bulbs

    :blush:just maybe you've had actual experience on this type of condition:blush: Some say that white and bluish lights are difficult on wet roads and rainy conditions. I'm still searching for actual experiences using the LED's on fluted glass headlight lenses and on wet roads / rainy conditions...
