Re: gps,which type?

For my two cents on this my old handheld used AAA batteries. This meant I could easily carry spares and ...

Re: My bj73 build (Nothing special)
60 leaves in the rear - longer, flatter springs. Seems to have more down travel than up travel.
Also extended the bump stops and added and anti-tramp bar to stop the spring wrap.

Looking sharp... I did shiver when I saw the forklift holding it up for the new springs and lockers going in. I have a BJ74 with a spring over. Plenty flexy... But is has longer 60 series leaves on the back and a modified spring pack in the front so the springs are essentially flat and not as parabo...

Just as tucktrucker says.. the crimped end piece is your high/low limit
My second car was an 87 Pulsar with a CA16DE in it with the ubiquitous wire dipstick.

I used to a Suzuki SJ413 soft top. It was the big block, 1324cc of pure power. But when the whole truck weighed in at under 1100kg you didn't need much power.

Re: Wheel bearing pre-load 80 series
Not sure that I would alter pre-load torques based on tyre size.
Basically more pre-load equals more lateral load on the bearing and too much will cause it to run hotter than normal. Hot bearings not good..
My 2.5cents..

Re: Another cert question, swapping wheels
Interesting my truck, I bought it already certified, has 15x8 listed on the plate. At the last WOF inspection they wanted to pull it up for having modified rims, which it was certified on, as the offset has changed from when they were manufactured. Which is true, but they only reason they noticed th...
