Re: KZJ71 Rear Diff
if you search on this forum you will find info on the motor. Likely by WJW. As I understand it they are the same as the actuator motor for the 80 series, and also for a transfer case selection or something... (off the top of my head) I would be fixing the factory one, as they work well, having had l...

Re: options for lift on lj78 cruiser
Bellamy & East only make leaf springs. They do a damn good job too, at fair prices.
They get what coils they need from Chamberlains.
Whilst Autolign are owned by the same company as BNT, they specialise in shocks and springs and offer a wide range.

Re: A frame towing WITH BRAKES.
Dude, there is a small truck that runs weekly to Dorkland from Shaketown with boats and spa-pools on it. Often tows two boats on separate trailers. He used to be based in Rangiora, but I see that guy drives for someone else now. I think it may be a Jeffs Towing truck. There will be a post on here fr...

I recommend the Meindl range as well. I got mine as almost brand new via an ex army shop. They had been some German airforce dudes. A very stiff full leather alpine boot with a 3/4 steel shank above the Vibram sole. Great for rock hopping. One point when looking for any boot for NZ terrain. Make sur...

That where the sidewalls of the BFGs got damaged or cut. BFGs shouldnt do that if the pressure is within their guidelines and no tubes are used. They have one of the toughest sidewalls available. Pressures were normal, but the rocks aren't! Frost heave rock with sharp edges originating off track si...

You can also get the Kumho KL-71 for a similar price. I have been using these tyres for about 6 years and find them good allround performers. They are quiet and grip really well on road. Off road I have had less sidewall puncturing than my previous 2 sets of BFG MTs, and they grip in the mud just as...

Surprised about only 10 psi! My older shaped Prado, the KZJ-71 runs 13 to 14 PSI from memory. Been a while since I had the very accurate and borrowed gauge in it. There is no tap etc, but it does have a ported cyl head, mostly on the exhaust side. Maybe this raises things, though I thought that 12 w...

Re: cam regrind ?
My comment would be that a NA LD28 would not be revving to 4.5 in a standard car. The Laurel that I am using does not have a Tacho, however it definitely seems lower revving than that. My guess would be about 3.5k max. Maybe your motor has already been fiddled with? Sure your tacho is correct? Being...
