george.ene

I'm looking to trade it in on a navara stx or ford ranger etc so would be happy to sell it on for what ever a yard offered me as a trade. What sort of dosh are you after? PM me i...

So; long story-short. Stay away from places without a good rep. Get it done properly because it'll save in tires, bushes, diesel consumption, etc etc. Also goto the two places: Wheel Alignment Services 281 Tuam St. crn of Barbadoes and Tuam St Jason at Hitech Wheel Alignment in Sydenham - pretty clo...

Just saved a search on TM to email me about any updates. Hopefully will spot something recent, with low kms then it would be just a case of frankensteining parts from one to the other and then back again. As far as purchasing a LWB; that stands to debate.. Had a chat with a mechanic who mentioned th...

Couldnt hurt, up until now their 12er has cost me $70

george.ene

Any places in CHC that do cheap wheel alignments (within reason, anyone can do a home-job alignment)?

george.ene

Youre quite right sprsta, however, i'm in chch. i'm sure the same could be said about the rear diff, the compressor and the rear bar thats not too obvious in the picture. Another option i was considering was buying a more recent, lower kms lwb and fitting all the goodies to that. Still considering t...

Sounds like a good starting point. Cheers mate :) from previous dealings things like new CV's etc are not worth listing as that comes under general maintenance anyway...(if they need doing they need doing) Go find the price of a similar truck that is standard. use that as a base price for the actual...

Hey chaps, now with new family addition, looking at selling my truck. Its has a fair amount of work done to it before buying it; arb air locker rear, arb bumpers front and rear, front 9000lb winch, arb air compressor, carpets removed, snorkel. This thing owes me about $2500; New tires ('32, 11.5), a...

God bighorn mate - I've owned one for about half year now and been loving it. check out my blog - just put up some vids of what they can do.

'Jeros arent bad either but judging by a mate's history you would need a second mortgage to account for what breaks down.

Im in hoon hay. just replaced mine. i wont have my car till wednesday (at panel and paint) but you're welcome to come have a look at mine then.

george.ene

It it is the loom you will find its the passenger side window, central locking, some illumination and a few others.

george.ene

Are you replacing the whole thing (all the way into the diff)?
have your moved the outer clip?

george.ene

they are cheap enough if you you're ok with putting a hole into your car and a bit of silicon.

If the above suggestions fail. Pull out the multimeter and start some conituance testing.

george.ene

There's a guy in Rangiora that Wrecks them - his name is Gavin. He has a few listings on trademe. Check it out.

george.ene

I've found the electrics to give way - the wiring; keeping in mind mine has had a very hard life before i got it..

So far found 7 rusty connectors and 5 dead cables. Good luck.

george.ene

Have a look at youtube. The guy goes to take a whole side off (tie rod, locker, cv, brakes).

I've just replaced it in mine. if you have issues with your lockers let me know.

george.ene

Thanks heaps chaps, I'll look at a bigger converter and also measure the acc (tip from stinky)

cheers.

G'day. I'm trying to install a stereo in a 24v safari. There are a whole bunch of 24>12v converters around but once installed the stereo seems to be cutting out (rebooting) once the volume is past 1/3. I've used a 10a 24 > 12 converter. Wondering have you folks had the issue? and if so where should ...

george.ene

Hi Folks, thanks for the offers! looks like everyone is trying to get rid of their rigs. First of all, I should say I have been looking at different sources and think I've found something i like, will be going down this weekend to maybe pick it up . Plain and simply, for the price, its hard to resis...

Have you got the beast on TM?

Hi Smokey, that is a nice truck, I've already had a look at it (assuming you're around the corner from me in Hoon Hay). Very tidy and well worth given work & maintenance that's gone into it; but sadly, I am after a diesel with the price of petrol these days.

george.ene

Should have said, I'm in CHC

george.ene

Hi,

Wanted SWB or LWD diesel for bush bashing and towing.
Was thinking Hilux, Bighorn, Patrol or Landy.

Low Ks, MTs are a must, Diff lockers and other toys desirable.

10k is my budget.

George

I'll have one for sale shortly. 5K. 96, 1600, 235/75/15, 1.5 suspension, 2.0 body great condition. bumper off as am currently seeking a new proper offroad bumper. PM if interested.

george.ene

Thanks for the reply guys. By a near new vehicle, I meant to say that a 2000 + can be purchased for the budget versus an old hilux that would be borderline ~25 years old. I guess what I'm asking is should I go for an old dinger bearing in mind mods are possible, parts available and it can tow or sho...

george.ene

Got my answer, they are cheap for a reason - mostly reliability.
