A mix of cavity wax and Fisholene sprayed all throughout the chassis rails and underside of truck every 6 months or so works a treat but yeah best you steer clear of that salt water

Dannz71

It has a 350 chev in it at the moment and fits very well in the surf body. I haven't done any measurements but I'm hoping the LN150 engine bay confinements are similar

Dannz71

Yeah i get ya so i just have to move the rear cab mounts?

Dannz71

Gday I currently have a LN61 body surf on a LN60 solid axle chassis with a lot of work underneath it HOWEVER the cab is getting a little bit beaten up and a few rust spots are appearing as well as the body has now unfortunately deregistered. SO im looking to change the cab but i want a single cab be...

Dannz71

yes it is called a carson top and is legal to remove, youll notice that the rear belts are all lap belts etc.
However im not saying the cops arent going to pull you over and check over your truck with a fine tooth comb.
i drive around alot with mine off but i dont normally have people in the back.

Dannz71

Yea wasnt the solenoid turns out it was the motor

Dannz71

Do I just swap f1 and f2?

Dannz71

Winch was only running one way and wouldn't wind in the cable. Only powers outwards, so I've whipped the motor off and hooked it up to the solenoid block on the bench to make sure it wasn't the gearbox binding or anything stupid. Is it more likely to be the motor or solenoid

Dannz71

Cheer for the info guys looks like a wicked place, cant wait.
Best way to get there? or is the ngaroma camp ground signposted

Dannz71

Yeap cant argue with that

Dannz71

Yea id go with a PTO if i had the choice. The main advantage for me with a Electric tho is if ya roll over, you can self recover.

Dannz71

Ngaroma 4WD park in Pureora forest. You will never go back to boring old Thompsons after you've been in there :!: :!: There's something for everyone, and even a camp ground with water, toilet and a fire place :D :D Hey DieselBoy can ya tell me more about this place? sounds like me and the boys for ...

Dannz71

If you want basic reliabilty and torque then go put a good car...

Dannz71

just do it bro ul learn alot.
i didit and it was all good teaches you alot about driving off road

Dannz71

pretty sure ln60 is the shrt wheel base, but just to make sure just jump under neath it and make sure the rear drive shaft goes straight from the gear box to the diff and doesnt have a hanger bearing

Dannz71

make sure that its a short wheel base hillux that your swaping the body on to..
it should have a single piece rear drive shaft

Dannz71

how much have you extended them?

Dannz71

Cheers for the help ill definitely look into it and get onto cliff and see if he can shed some light. Also how different is the bolt pattern between a standard 4bbl holley and a 4bbl qjet. Should be the same aye?

Dannz71

Gday. I dont mean to hijack threads but ive got a 350 chev with a few basic mods (4wd torque cam, Bit higher compression etc) nothing extreme. But im having carb issues with the holley 600 that I have on it. Im thinking about changing to a qjet. Cause ive Got access to 2 of them. Not sure the condit...

Dannz71

Dannz71
