Re: The "Going to buy some 4x4s" Project

Thanks for the tips. I'm happy to wait for the right one to come up, regarding the FJ. It is a mix between loving the looks, and getting myself a 4x4 that isn't just run of the mill. As for getting something with a Tray that is a Hilux, we would be paying a premium when we could just get another 4x4...

The "Going to buy some 4x4s" Project

Hi team I've recently managed to cross one of the biggest hurdles in adulting - purchasing a house. I had to keep away from 4x4s to help make it a reality. Now that it has happened, I am going to try focus on getting both me, and the girlfriend, a couple 4x4s. And this time, not cheap ones, that is ...

Re: 5th 4x4, and I don't even like Nissans

If I was still 12 like I was 5 years ago (I'm currently 22 for some reason) I'd be updating this topic weekly if not daily. Now that I'm 32 I seem to be too busy. Anyway, snapped both the front door handles off. Passenger door is having central locking issues, half the time won't unlock, who cares. ...

5th 4x4, and I don't even like Nissans

Rust killed my first Jero, sold my 2nd one even though it was good and my 3rd was a piece of shit. My super custom was good but the bottom end went. So I've gone down the road of Nissan. Only the 2nd one I've ever owned, and it's basically the same as the first one I owned anyway (D21 Navara) https:...

Transfer case button not working properly? Super custom 4x4

Hey guys, got me a 1990 toyota hiace super custom 4x4. Has a push button transfer case, low range box and manual locking hubs. The 4wd (transfercase) sometimes gets stuck on. The light on the dash stays lit up, and I'm down on power (as I'm driving around with only 50% power going to the back). Thou...

Re: Hiace Super Custom 4x4 project

It seems to be an on and off problem. I think it winds up too easily (almost like it grips too well on even slightly gravely surfaces) so I may need to hit the transfer case button sooner. Only problem is I might get stuck, then have to engage it again and have it wind up enough to not unstick. Hmmm...

Vans transfer case seems to be stuck in 4wd mode. I usually unwind it with locking hubs locked, and drive it in reverse on a slippery surface.

Re: Hiace Super Custom 4x4 project

Done a bit of research on how the 4wd button works, is it a vaccum solenoid? It seems to be stupidly temperamental with it actually engaging on and off. My question is leaving it in 4wd mode, will that do any damage to the gearbox and drivetrain through wind up? Keep in mind it has manual front hubs...
