Thank you TJ you have a wealth of information.

Thanks TJ I knew you'd know

How do I tell if it is a reverse one - Is it as easy as which way the fan turns??

Tonkatoy.

Hi Guys.
My visco(?) unit on my fan has blown the back off the bearing and is not healthy. My mechanic says that they are expensive & hard to find. Any thoughts where I could get one or should I look at an electric fan with a switch I can turn off when in rivers?

So I guess you have to change your screen name now

Count me in depending on when it is also it was pasted on our Cozzie Four Wheelers facebook page and there a few keen from there.
Do we need to be ticketed to use our chainsaws or can we just rock up with them and help out? Either way I am in with or without my chainsaw

Tonkatoy.

Well I guess no one did anything - I know the Cozzie four wheelers had the xmas camp over the weekend but I couldn't make it as I had an engagement party so I washed my Jeep instead. Woo Hoo

I agree it is soo sad when a child loses out. My son brought a 1/8 scale Rock Crawler from a business in Auckland and it has been 4 months and still no product and he is next to impossible to contact - I am now looking at legal action to get his money back. Man it sucks

Tonkatoy.

Does anyone have one of these they can part with. Ideally in Grey please.

a bit tricky to disable the sender on modern vehicles. the ecu uses speed as an input for various things, so it flags an error and can even go into limp mode. the other thing does the hilux even have speedo sender ? a lot of vehicles use the ABS rings as speed pickups so theres no gearbox speed sen...

Talking or prompting illegal activity is not appropriate on a public Forum. As for claiming the off road RUC's, it can be done and you don't have to be a business. You do need to keep a logbook though and in reality you don't do that many km's off road in comparison to on road, so usually ends up n...

I have a 2011 Toyota Hilux which is going to do a bit of farm work every now and then. Can I run it with the speedo disconnected as I don't think it is fair that I pay RUC when I am not on the road but because I am not a business it is proving to be a nightmare to claim them back. Any thoughts on th...

Thanks again everyone looks like it may have been the windscreen after all as I came home through a heavy downpour and nothing so I will blame the glaziers

I'd say the little bit that leak after the windscreen was fixed may have already been in the cab and just worked it's way down

Tonkatoy.

If the windscreen is good and there is no sunroof then... I would say the drain for the heater is blocked, unfortunately I've never worked on a jeep so I am guessing what this would be and where.... most cars have a rubber hose valve, a rubber hose with a pinched off end at a guess I'd say on the f...

Tonkatoy.

Well I have had the windscreen replaced - They were just going to refit it but the glazier broke the windscreen when taking it out so yet another set of club stickers and such wasted. Roof seems to be nice and tight thanks TJ. Could it be coming in through the heater vent on the bonnet?

Tonkatoy.

try some directed spraying with the hose on a few specific areas to try and isolate the leak mate I'd be starting with the windscreen if the problem only started after it was replaced :D Thanks Derk - The windscreen guys are coming out to re-install it so I will see if that fixes it otherwise will ...

Tonkatoy.

personally i think its coming in from the exhaust. its has been vacuumed in once the vehicle is moving and then making its way right through the motor ejecting its self out of the air filter box, tracking alone the insides of the guard edge, down into the sill channel, up behind the passangers seat...

Tonkatoy.

On the way to work this morning I felt a few drips on my right foot (at first I thought it was just Nissan drivers :lol: ) It was pouring with rain but it has never leaked before and I have a considerable amount of moisture in the foot well now. I put my hand under the dash and it felt like the wate...

We were there too. Awesome day and good to see that even the big boys still break things like I do

Although my Jeep could do that

Tonkatoy.

Is it worth having a set of off road tyres and a set for the road? Ill try post some pics soon :-) I run 2 sets of tyres one road one mud. The Jeep looks a bit funny with the lift kit etc on my 30's for road but it looks fine with the 33's on it but then it is my daily and I drive over 100k's a day...

guttered we couldnt make it up this year Any results Cheers Leigh Hi Leigh, Sorry you guys couldn't make it too. The Tararua boys along with you lot and the Manukau fellows would have made it a really sharp event. I took a recuperation day off yesterday but I will post final results on the Manukau ...

my son who is 9 leapt out the back of the jeep and chucked the tow strop over my rear hook and ran up to a pole and stopped it going all the way in - Yes he is a legend & yes I am proud. give that lad a good xmas pressy! legend :mrgreen: Funny you should say that he is getting a 1/8 scale Rock ...

as far as dodging bullets go the damage is done when you try and re-start the truck with the bores full of water coz the old physics teacher taught us air compresses but water doesn't hence the reason con rods bend when you have a bit of water in there. If you've had it running there wont be any wa...

Pictures or it didn't happen.... Where were you in Waiuku? Phone was sitting in the bottom of the cab so no photo's so yay it didn't happen :D Check out The weekend activities forum for further update as it was the day after Waiuku back home. I think I dodged a bullet though as I pulled the plugs a...

where did you manage to drown a jeep in the Waiuku Forest, in all these year to have missed a pond of that size, oh unless you drove into the fire pond at the lookout :lol: No it was the next day helping out a stranded boat - Long Story short - Boat had flat battery in river so we pulled it to the ...

Have a snorkel but can't be sealed properly as there was heaps of water in air box. Thanks for all your help.

Tonkatoy.

Had a great day with Auckland 4wd Club in Waiuku Forest then drowned Jeep due to brake failure. Not good. Refer to posting under Jeeps.

Tonkatoy.

Please help. Today I drowned my TJ. Long story short, brakes failed and as I went in I hooked reverse and tried to get out but stalled. Couldn't restart. Engine was under water and water spewing in cab. Got pulled out and got water out of vehicle. When I started it there was heaps of steam out exhau...
