100m roll. I'm keen on 50m for winch plus extentions etc but could part with the other 50m... I don't really need 100m lol. I'd imagine it's as genuine as it gets if brought through Bridons.

shaun.paddy

I called Bridons yesterday. 10mm Dynamica - the legit stuff not Chinese - was $14+gst pm... but if i buy a roll works out at $8.96+gst pm. Could be the go, shouldn't need to buy more for a while

shaun.paddy

Yeah im keen to keep away from Chinese rope, im definitely aware that you get what you pay for lol Had a look at 4wdbits website, hes got non name brand 10mm UHMWPE rope, min breaking load 10000kg for $7.99p/m. Seems a good price - Chinese?. Makes me wonder if its got any if the special coatings for...

Any one know of any deals on synthetic winch rope atm? Will be going on a swb safari with pto winch (toyota winch). Will most likely pick up 50m and what doesn't fit on drum will serve as extensions.

Cheers.

Good to have another coaster on board. Plenty of good tracks over here. Drop me a line sometime if you like , always keen to get ma truck muddy

shaun.paddy

I've got mine on 15x8, -22 off set. I dont drop the pressures.... cos i haven't got my on board air sorted yet, so obviously no problems dropping beads here :lol: On another note make sure the lower rear seat belt bolts are trimmed flush with the captive nut. Otherwise when the tyre tucks up it can ...

shaun.paddy

Out of town a little way, will pm you.

shaun.paddy

I've got a few litres of Total carter ep680 spare if you want your welcome to a fill up of it

. It'd be good to meet up with another local truck too

shaun.paddy

Good write up, truck will be mint

definitely envious of your skills. I need to buy a mig and learn how to use it, just incase i slip with the grinder and the back of the safari falls off

+1

always a good read!

shaun.paddy

Yes they fit. I had a set of standard height front springs from an 80 series up front in my swb GQ, i reckon they lifted the front around 70mm. They were fairly soft but i liked them.

shaun.paddy

Went for a spin up Mt Greenland, beautiful day for it. The track was in good condition, no wash outs or trees down etc. The mud hole half way up was straight forward with a couple of different lines driven - its been dry for a while here for a change, so made things easier. One of the hiluxs on 37s ...

shaun.paddy

Just so you know...IMO your more likely to want a snorkel and winch to do Liverpool Bills. Probably add 33's at a minimum to that list too, my safari was dragging diffs on Silverstone 35's

If your just starting out Cockeye might be a better choice

shaun.paddy

Any of you guys been thru Liverpool bills creek lately,area is being fairly seriously mined at present and you cant get down the sidecreek we used to use. Flag. Yip, I was through there between Xmas n new year. There is mining in the area but it doesn't affect the access. I get onto the track at th...

shaun.paddy

thanks that is very helpful what is the rest of the track like. also would we be alright going through in two trucks without snorkels or winches ???? All good. Rest of track follows what looks like an old logging Rd, sections of it have gone so your in and out of the creek all the way up. With this...

shaun.paddy

If I'm thinking of the same spot - it's a short climb out of the creek on true left (right side as ya look up stream) back onto the track - slip on your left as you exit creek? If it is, just stay in the creek another 25 meters or so, there's another exit on your right. Otherwise, dunno! Cockeye Cre...

shaun.paddy

Yip, I went through between Christmas and new years. What would you like to know?

shaun.paddy

Good idea, I'm in!

shaun.paddy

Cheers man, just what I needed to know

Regarding the freshen up, im guessing you mean the shims in the lsd ay? And possibly bearings.... do you know a good source for the shims? Bit of a learning curve comming up - haven't play with diffs yet.

shaun.paddy

Im after a rear lsd diff head from a navara or terano to put in the front of my saf. I asked a wrecker for one but it seems theres few different models available :?: I had asked for a h233b 31 spline diff head.... can anyone confirm the correct model number diff I should be asking for please. Cheers.

shaun.paddy

Nice

Thanks for the feedback Mike, good to hear the set up performs well. I don't suppose your running it with a factory locker by chance? Some say it cant be set up, some say it can???

I scored a diff to pick the bits off just a matter of finding time to get it sorted.

shaun.paddy

Nice find, vid describes it very well. Cheers.

shaun.paddy

Thanks Sam.
I think im sorted for drive shafts now, even scored a complete front diff

I haven't seen the parts yet so if they're too worn I'll get in touch.

Cheers,
Shaun

I had mine replaced by the crowd off TM - I think they are called fast autoglass, there on Moorhouse Ave. Was around $450 for new glass, rubber seals , removal of old fecked sliders and fitment of new single piece glass. A fair price I reckon. The crowd in greymouth quoted $800

Im hearing ya fellas, for sure pinion angles need to be matched. Im running +16mm lower rear arms already, uppers haven't been touched yet . And yip, cross gbox cross member could be spaced down a little more too. High pinion is another way of achieving the same end result of no drive line vibratio...

shaun.paddy

Have you used a angle guage to check if the rear readings are the same ?[/quote]

No, haven't measured up to see how far out they are but I do know the angles aren't the same and do need matching.

shaun.paddy

Eye balled the bearing caps on the drive shaft side, looks in line. So assumably its in phase. Will know fore sure when it comes out for replacement.

shaun.paddy

Cheers, well explained - as above, off to check em :D now that you know what U/J phasing is the reason they need to be phased is the driveshaft doesn't rotate at a constant speed around a U/J it goes slow/fast as it climbs up and rotates around the other side of the U/J (unlike a CV joint that will ...

shaun.paddy

Thanks for the clarification re: uj phase. I ordered shocks to suit my springs, no worries there, no confirmation needed :mrgreen: Better get under the truck for a geez Shocks usually have a serial number you could search to confirm which lift they are for. Some new springs have paper id tags until ...
