Re: Bullbars got WOF for years, now take them off?

from a vague memory they are held on with 4-6 bolts, so apart from winch cables they will come off fairly easily, depending if bolts rusted that is, get hold of a genuine bumper fit with 2 bolts, get warrent and then swop back :)

Re: Chinese 'ARB Knock-Off' Air Compressor - Quality

Run Chiense lockers in my disco (80 series diffs) for the last 5 years, had to replace the rotating seal once, ARB one slotted straight in, front and rear, always engages when i want it, front can be a touch finicky to come out, but happy enough with them

Re: axle swaps

swapping out for Nissan or Toyota stuff is just way to much work for no gain, a silly way to go. slip out your axels on a regular basis if you are off-roading, check the inner spline for any torque twisting yeah the nissan stuff is not a good swop IMO, far prefer the 80 series for extra width givin...

perhaps one of the braided lines has collapsed internally blocking the line, but if your pedal is going to the floor then the master must be bypassing, perhaps remove the lines off the the master, put a small ball bearing into the outlet and clamp in place with a brake nut, master cylinder should go...
