Any more feed back on the goodride tyres and how they're performing and lasting? Currently it gets interesting with the maxxis high way terrains, so was thinking a cheap set of mudgrips truck only gets used a couple weeks a year so hard to justify expensive tyres that might last a bit longer... Cheers

Thanks for being a tool mate its really appreciated generally it pays to shop around to ensure the best price.

stompin

Can only one suggest the best place to purchase ARB air lockers from?

What sort of price should be paid for front/rear locker + compressor? (for landcruiser)

Also any one got an estimated price for the install? (id rather go to work and pay some one else to get dirty for me)

Cheers brad

hey guys im trying to fit a factory toyota winch, onto an 80series cruiser, with an aftermarket bullbar (the winch & bullbar came off another 80series cruiser) But this shit has me a bit lost.... Does any one have a manual for these suckers? Ill get some pics tonight but it looks the same winch ...

stompin

hey guys, more questions!

I picked up a factory toyota winch today (meant to have came off an 80 series cruiser), Can any one sheed the some light on the specs of it?

SHould i pay some one to fit it? or should i do it my self? if so any tips to fitting a winch onto the truck?

stompin

I use a filter tool, box section tube with a material strap that goes around the filter. Fits onto a ratchet so it easy as to get off. Thats the business for most filter removals, just keep it closer to the thread, you get much better torque to undo 8) Got a couple of these trucks mate, Awesome cho...

stompin

got some budget assed tool from repco today to try undo the filter and stilll got get it to undo...... Ill wait untill it stops raining and try again.

Is there any tool you guys rate for undoing oil/fuel filters?

stompin

hey guys few more question, changed the oil & filter in the truck today, and my receipt didnt say if the fuel filter was changed or not, so i got one of them too for piece of mind. Ive never changed a fuel filter before, How often should fuel filters be changed? Is there anything special to chan...

stompin

i would check it with an aftermarket gauge but the factory gauge is anything but accurate its there for novelty factor more than anything :lol: The factory gauge i had repaird the other week but i still think its mis reading the oil pressure, I was going to use an after market gauge to check i, wen...

stompin

Hey guys I just had my the engine in my cruiser rebuilt (1hdt), just wondering what sort of oil pressure i should expect? I dunno if the gauge if fuckd, or if somethings up because the gauge seems to change depending on idling/accelerating/etc. So i am going to mates tomorrow to put an after market ...

stompin

Ill get some pics tomorrow, still needs a bit more work but its coming along...

I dont think ill get into anything too serious in terms of 4wding, but the winch i got to fit came with the truck so might as well throw it on! We'll see what happens from there....

stompin

A few months back i got offered a 80 series vx landcruiser for a pretty sharp price after the owner cooked it. Radiator top tank cracked, resulting in overheating cracked head, and it looked like 2 pistons had minor cracks, other than that it looked to be all good. I guess that was February's or mar...

can any one reccomend any where in christchurch to undertake this work?

stompin

Hey guys, Finally got the engine recondition sorted in my cruiser, how ever while they were swapping out the radiator, they found a crack in the chassie arround the power steering racksome where? (so im a bit vague but the trucks in chch and im in wanaka so im only going off what im hearing) I remeb...

stompin

hey, what i believe happened, was the radiator cracked, got so hot the head cracked, then the pistons crackd? but i can only assume as i am not the one who blew it up. Got new pistons, head, bearings, valves and shit nothing was bent so nothing had connected. The cracks were right accross on 3 pisto...

so do u recon i should just get it done or wait?

im sure i reconise you're truck from the car park at Mt O last year.. Yep that would have been me. Only ski-ied there one weekend but stayed both nights, drunken very, and I recall some naked night ski-ing. Hmm damn shame the camera flash died as one of the girls I went up with ski-ied off.....

Ok so theres a small amount of work been done on the truck so far. Pistons came out, throw them in an acid tank found out that 3 had some pretty serious cracks on them but the bore is fine, so $550 latter i got a new set. Genuine new toyota cylinder head $900. So new head, new pistons, new rings, so...

Im believing the chains should go on the front? (I have an early 80seris)

am i correct or wrong?

stompin

Without going and seeing John I cannot comment. However in '03 I bought a set for one of the Broken River Ski Club vehicles and I came across the receipt a couple of nights ago. The cost back then for heavy-duty chains at a damn good discount was $175 + GST. Perhaps the dollar climbing has got his ...
