You know the 2009 Hilux shape ... I'm asking about that shape truck. Does anyone know what size wheels they came with from the factory? My LN106 has 15's on it, ummm, -8 offset from memory, with 32's. I was was wondering if they'd fit onto/work with a 2009 model Lux. Ta.
Just shit talking really but I wanna say 16s from new and 15s won’t clear the brakes..

Soooooo about this topic.
Binned the Wave on the way to work this morning. Was going about 10kph. Slipped going over a white line turning at an intersection. Bike is mainly sweet because it landed on me.
Judging by @GuyWithAviators efforts I've got 2 more crashes coming my way shortly.I though we decided that the PPSC tyre of choice is actually rubbish on the road?

@GuyWithAviators is now the resident expert on which bikes the fronts do and don't fall off of.
I friggin binned the FX125 on the way to work yesterday.
At the bottom of my driveway.Front tyre was flat, for some reason golden boys roll off the rim easy.

Don’t the fronts fall off? Is that typical?

I also did turbo diesel stuff this weekend, plus T’ing a TD27 Nissan Datsun D21. First time playing with turbos, almost at the stage of @Raizer’s exhaust work ^
Acquired box of turbo bits from a Terrano, top end gasket kit and the desire to go up hills in not second gear.
Unfortunately upon removing NA manifold (after fighting a downpipe stud for hours and cutting it off) found the two rear studs were actually bolts, m12 fine thread not the m10 coarse like the rest. One was actually missing and the second barely in there, hence the exhaust leak onto the firewall I hadn’t really noticed.
however luckily @mo999was coming up to visit so brought along a really nice Wurth Timesert kit
took a bit of effort to drill the broken studs out nicely as they’d been attacked before but got there and wound in some M10 inserts, they were a little long so just flappy disc’d them flush. The tap in the set cut the cast head really well. Used a nut as a locknut so the insertion tool wouldn’t bottom out and ruin the end of the insert as it was broken off unfortunately.
Got an oil line made up after chipping out the wrong part of the oil filter housing to get oil feed for the turbo. Same shop was able to supply a bung for the fitting I took out needlessly however. Factory fitted drain bung used here too, had a fitting in stock for this.
Sunday Mitre10 / Repco trip for bolts that work with the new inserts and longer ones needed for turbo manifold.
turn key and it goes! Makes all the right noises even. Just need to get the correct silicone intake hose as the one I grabbed was too big and wind up the fuel pump a little. Then exhaust…

Glad you are OK Andrew!
I had been thinking about your front fell off comment last night and wondering what it was about.
Just to be the asshole that asks... were cameras rolling?
Yeah I asked the same thing straight away haha. Happy to report my Cardo intercom stayed intact and worked throughout the incident as callum can attest it played my road rash noises into his helmet quite well lol.

Did the bars break in the impact? Or were aliexpress parts the cause of the crash?
Bike was fine. Rider caused. Top clamp is made of cheese. It was on my list to replace with a genuine item.
