Re: 80 Series Front Diff Question

Well Ive got it all out and totally stripped, well the diff housing is. Going to work out cost to have the diff rebuild and getting the housing knuckles repaired, as they are were worn. Looks like they are the cause or the start of the problems and if I dont fix them or get a second hand one. This w...

Re: 80 Series Front Diff Question

Thanks for the feedback. Been talking to Nathan from Kaiapoi Repowers, as he has an open diff head, which I might install while my one is off getting rebuild. As my truck is my daily driver and I'm using my recently deceased Dad's Terrano to get to work and its kinda not the most ideal situation. I'...

80 Series Front Diff Question

I was underneath greasing my drive shafts and noticed the front diff pinion seal leaking a weee bit. Jacked it up and removed the wheels. Gave the hubs a wee turn by hand and watched the drive shaft flange move about 5mm back and forth when turning the hubs forward just a tad, then backwards a tad. ...

Re: Hippy's 80

Ive done the cutting of the valance and giving it a weee clean up and spray it black, just to give it some protection from the weather etc. Cut it the same on both side, as I'll be fitting another auto cooler and that OCD strikes again. Put the winch on and had a look/measure up. http://i2.photobuck...

Well its done, valance cut out. Ive cut it in a way so I can still have my plumbing sitting where I want it to and still have the winch as far back as it can be.

Re: Hippy's 80

Looks like that bullbar could easily be modified to fit a bit closer to the front? Would increase approach angle. Yes it can, but its only around 60mm I'd gain. Will the winch fit between the chassis rails? I know it will end up with the hawse off set slightly but it would be a small compromise to ...
