I am looking for a power steering box to fit a 40 series cruiser, I have a 70 series one to swap/trade/sell.
Cheers,
Shane

Can anyone help with a picture of how the power steering pump mounts to a 40 series with a 3B motor?
Cheers,
Shane

85BJ73

Well, we made a start on our recently acquired 40 series: we got all our parts that came with the truck labelled and put away. The alloy wheels taken off, and my wife started polishing them up, and a set of steelies fitted, the alloy wheels will have all terrain tyres fitted, and the steelies will b...

Thanks,
Shane

Well, it has been a while, after selling our 1985 BJ73 a few years back :roll: , and then missing the freedom it offered us :cry: , we have come back to the sport/pastime, this time with something different, a BJ40...yeah, an oldie, but a goodie, well, we think so any way. It's going to take a bit t...

85BJ73

No problem, I will work out when I can come down that suits us both, and we can go from there. On-board air is the best option too, it saves the weight of a dive tank, something I couldn't convince Hamish of. Hamish is the bloke who owned it when I set the air system up. It really isn't that hard to...

Cheers, I will leave it up to him, as he may want to leave it original, or may have done it himself by now.

85BJ73

OK, cheers, no promises though. The overnight part won't be happening....got to feed critters, but may make it down Sunday, and I'm taking a stab in the dark and would need my good mud tyres.........duh.

85BJ73

I had a hand in setting up the air system to raise and lower the suspension on Moon Hopper a coupla years back, and I understand someone here owns it now. If you want a hand to get this up and running again, let me know.

85BJ73

Wonder if I can persuade the mrs into going to Rally Woods on Sunday.....just in case, how do we find the mythical 4x4 land??

85BJ73

Fitted a new RTC steering damper....now just need a trip to do........

85BJ73

Coolio, work permitting....and that may be the stumbling block as there is only me left now

.....we are still up for this, depending on when it is, hopefully later in the year, or early next??
Cheers,
Shane

85BJ73

Well, got work sorted, got the missus back on side, sorted the truck, but the weather is looking just plain shit, too shit for me to get out of bed at 5am only to find trip has changed and I dunno where to go, so we will look to join in on another trip at some stage.
Cheers.

85BJ73

So is this trip still a goer or has it died?

85BJ73

We are looking dicey to make it too......work is interfering in my weekends at the moment......

I ran Maxxis Buckshot Mudders and got 40,000 km from them, and they were ok off road, when deflated to 15psi, but the newer tyres i have, Maxxis Bighorn are a definate improvement, and have heard of a truck getting 50,000km on them. Never seen the creepy crawler, but have heard good things about them.

85BJ73

Got sent the link, quite funny, but not for kids, and read the announcements accross the bottom of the screen too.......

Enjoy.......

85BJ73

I would buy a set if I could afford too, I have broken a cruiser birfield :oops: , and it was a bitch to pull it out on the side of a muddy track :evil: , for the record I have a 3B and was running 33" Maxxis Buckshot Mudders, but I did have the steering turned a long way :( .....and the difflo...

Having made and sold wire ropes, I have found the following: 1/Do not go for galvinised, as the layer of galv is included in the overall diameter, and before anyone says it is minimal, consider every strand has a layer on it, so it does add up, and it does make a difference, thats why logging crews ...

85BJ73

There are some weird ideas out there.......(generally) a cap bolt has a higher tensile strength than a bolt, depending on bolts rating, and I cannot immediately remember the highest bolt rating off the top of my head, also, the strength of the nut does not depend on how much thread protrudes through...

85BJ73

I have a rant.....why the hell do workshops feel it is necissary to silicone parts to seal them rather than fit a gasket???? It frustrates the crap out of me. Dammit, it doesn't take that much longer to make a gasket, and silicone can be a bitch to remove, plus from my experience with hydraulics, it...

85BJ73

Sounds like we are in!! The missus is happy for us to go as long as there are no last minute snags that is.......Will confirm about the overnight part. Moriarty has offered to guide us out there too.
Cheers.

85BJ73

Has anyone got any trips planned around the central area?
If not, I would be willing to take a few trucks to Ernies place, just north of Wanganui.
Post below, and we can see what happens.

85BJ73

Me 'n the missus are interested, not sure about overnight part though, but will see what happens. Now for the part where you will all laugh at us.....how do we get to Wainui beach??????? Is it the one where ya drive along the Petone foreshore....or is there someone/somewhere we can meet up first at ...

85BJ73

Went for a drive up around the power project intakes and tunnels on the Friday, as per Andy Cocroft's book, then went up the Tokokino skifield, as far as the locked gate, could have gone around it as many others have, but thought it wiser to respect the gate. 8) Saturday went to wellies to pick up n...

85BJ73

Fitted second air tank for lockers, greased all suspension, stopped rear diff from leaking by making a new gasket, adjusted handbreak. Feels good to be working on it again!!

85BJ73

Cheers for that, we did see it, but have plans already, but we will keep an eye on the trips board and see how things go. could be a goer for the South Island trip that is being floated......

85BJ73

We could be keen on this, depending on dates and costs involved......we wanna do a trip like this.......I hope to see this happen guys.....

85BJ73

Yeah, we figured that too, now we just need to get in on some trips again.......
