TJ, i think they would fit any of the post renix motors?. Ant ,the turbo and the non turbo xr6 use the same injectors, non turbo runs 2.7bar fuel pressure and the turbo runs 4.0bar ,they are a 100% straight swap , main advantage on a std motor is that they are the new style 4 hole instead of one, wo...

spanky

just fitted a set of ba xr6 injectors into the old girl,definitely an improvement for throttle response, maybe a little gain in power but the main gain is alot crisper throttle , gone from the old style single hole injector to the new style 4 hole.will allow for a lot more fuel once a bit of boost i...

definitely a good day again,was suprised how the old jeep went,both 4x4s that beat me were super charged lexus v8s,and even then only by .17 of a second,not bad for a standard cherokee on bald tyres, will be back again next year but with some forced induction plus a diesel dragger for my son to race...

spanky

yeah noexitroad i know i just want it cause it will sound good :lol: ,ill probaly just take the swaybars out and leave it at that,not worried about economy and definitly wouldnt waste my time with a lexus conversion,basically it will just be for cruising on the main 42 traverse track and a bit of ge...

been offered a 96 v8 disco for what i thinl is cheap,already got two cherokees that have never let me down off road, unlike all the info from the net would lead you to believe .so im wondering what are these like?, it has been dereg so offroad only,fuel economy doesnt worry me,main thing i like is t...

spanky

your "mechanic " is full of shit.any motor that is maintained will do shit loads of kms, i agree with diesel boy and you'd be better off with a older more simple 4x4, my work prado has done 537000 kms and has never had major work, it is serviced by toyota every 10k, we have 5 90 series pra...

spanky

buy your cps off amazon, i paid 10 usd each for oe cps's ,they shaft you if you buy them in nz

spanky

your local tyre shop should be able to get them,last time i priced them they were 90-100 bucks each for 15x8 and the 16s were about 20-30 more.thats was for white ones.

welcome to nz,find a park or school field and with just a tiny swivel on to replicate the weight of a wet fly ,start practising ,once you got it working , start putting objects on the ground and getting the 'fly' right to them,use your elbow not your wrist .once you got that good you can head to a r...

hi Peter, ive been talking to Brian Climo about this and he is willing to help in any way possible,his connections with Work Safe NZ and DOC could be a big help, im putting an ad in the ruapehu bulletin in the next week or two to get support from locals that use the bush for any recreation pursuits....

spanky

my work prado has the same clunk,spose at 531000km on all original running gear you gotta expect it,we have 5 prados all nz new and all are over 400km,all auto and no major trouble,mine is an intercooled one,must be bloody good vehicles as they tow trailers up and down a mongrel windy road all day,

spanky

very sad to hear,unfortunately in nz there is no such thing as a accident and they will find someone to blame and then they will deny further access because thats the easiest option now,because of our stupid laws which in another week or so take another huge leap into absolute bullshit we are gonna ...

spanky

alot depends on where you live and drive too,the kms you guys are getting outy of your tyres is just a dream to get that in the king country/central plataeu,mate put a set of new coopers on his 4door v8 cruiser and loves them, not going to get huge milage but he likes how they drive,run bfg at on on...

spanky

mate has one of those,done over 250k now .still absoluletly loves it and has had no trouble what soever, is a manual also.only ever had all its normal servicing .great vehicle.

spanky

best to try to find a hanes,haines? one on trade me

spanky

dont waste yor money on 8inch rims, way tto wide and youll be popping them off the beads all the time when you run lower pressures, i ran 30s on 5.5 inch jimny rims and they were good, i wouldnt go wider than 6 or 7 inch, in all the years of owning and thrashing mine i broke 1 cv and that was with b...

spanky

national park mill closed quite a few years ago , tongariro water is in there now with their water intake and bottling plant.the traverse is not a hard track to do but at the same time there is quite alot of drop offs where you wont be getting your vehicle back in a hurry, just need some common sens...

spanky

bit overgrown, track is all good, we are going in spraying blaclberry probably next weekend

spanky

what a crock of shit,no ranger can give you permission , its not up to them to decide anything, they are just pawns in a govt department, we have tried to do a deal with doc countless number of times over the last twenty years and they are not interested, i used to have a concession to operate quads...

spanky

was up there on sunday and the doc signage says open to vehicles from 1st of december,blackberry has gone crazy so will start spraying that in the next couple of weeks,most of the track is in pretty good condition,

spanky

crank position sensor is other common thing for them, got my last ones for $10 american off amazon,

spanky

with the tyres it all depends on what sort of driving are you doing,and what sort of ground your on,remember the cherokee is quite light and will spin the tyres easily, i just run 32inch radial mud tyres , nothing aggressive as mainly pumice and ash around me, in the mud it will easily pull 2nd or 3...

spanky

that'd be the only reason to put so much tread under a 2wd, bring it to dirt drags once its done . 2wd class is getting owned by a 323 wagon with a rotary in it the last couple years v8 t bucket running bfg muds got it this year,ranger would need an ls repower as well, i cleaned up a new 5cyl bt50 ...

spanky

not sure what damage they are talking about ,they say in the paper that even bikes and mountain bikes couldnt get through. the only damage ive seen up there this winter was from the huge storm we had in july,had an insane amount of water in 24 hours,there is some parts of the track that need attenti...

spanky

did think that about the turbo,now that youve confirmed my thoughts ,ill go looking for a bigger one, the blower is a m62, so designed for 2.5-4litre.came off a 3.8,i myself prefer the turbo option mainly for the sound and a bit easier to fit, ive got a few intercoolers to pick from,ill see what i c...

spanky

has anyone on here done this?, i have a spare cherokee that i want to make go better for mud drags and just playing around with, its not my usual cherokee that i use for my 4x4ing so not worried about fuel consumption or anything like that, i have both a td05 turbo off an evo and a supercharger off ...

spanky

the only reason these motors do the heads is because they have not been looked after,we have 6 hiluxes with the 1kz at work and have never had any trouble,they tow 1000-1200 litre fuel trailers and have done between 200k and 320k km, serviced as the book says from new, we service all our vehicles th...

spanky

good american winch,will out last any Chinese crap,like warn you can buy any bits you need for them, mine has had a beating for 7-8 years .

spanky

i made some coil spacers and some rear shackles, lifted mine 60mm for free,remove the sway bars, cut the guards,fit 31s,or 32s and away you go, i run 32s or 33s on mine and its sweet, when i do the next mod which is jap axles and a maybe another 50mm of lift it also will be done without spending muc...

spanky

unfortunatly i would have to agree with beercruiser, especially if its got into the sponge,youll never get rid of the smell,every time you hop in on a hot day it will stink, had the same f..k up with gearbox oil and ended up replacing the seat as the smell would just about make you feel sick.
