QuickGrip Heavy Duty snow chains Ice Breaker style(V bar)Ladder chains The chain links/V bars are just over 7mm thick. I have used them 4 or 5 times on 35" BFG tyres,I pulled them in 2 or 3 links to get them tight,pretty sure they would fit 37" tyres also. Have used them in snow and mud,wo...

One of the guys in chch club(few yrs back)fitted a heat exchange/shower unit to his 80# cruser(not sure of brand)it worked ok but not as warm as he had hoped,so he wraped all the hot side hoses with laging(spell)and that made quite a big differance,just a thought for those winter adventures you go o...

One quick thread jacking question....... ln106 hilux..... Its single battery, if I mount another battery and run the positive and negative from the main battery to the secondary will that give me twice the amps required for a winch to be powered properly? Our will that screw all of my factory wirin...

Shane

Thanks for taking the time to upload the vids,always good to see vids from the coast trips.what tyres Andy got on the prado now?,look like new model BFG's?they any good?

Shane

Shane

So its a 12v system,2 batterys in parrallel well give same voltage(12v)twice the amps as above. Using pos on one battery and neg on the other wont have any effect when in parrallel.main thing when running in parrallel(for battery life/charging) is that both batterys are the same make/model(unless us...

hahah dsr what a joke lagy turbos that last 10 mins wastegate is hard to get to and cant control boost over 25psi just starts creeping 38mm wastegate on a 4.2 is to small Pretty sure the turbos not designed to go 25+psi,maybe 20psi max.

Creepys seam to be the worst tyre for balance issues,not so bad when brand new soon as they get some wear they'r just a night mere. A friend has 37" creepys,recently brought some 36" simex's done 5+ trips to w/coast on them,they drive like a dream compaired to creepys(simex on beadlocks al...

Went to Waimac and watched the marthon jet boats racing. This one had a Gas turbine engine approx 1300-1500hp,easy the fasted boat there by 15-20mph(reported it could do 130mph)super reliable and well go 100% all day,boat handled very well also. He did get beaten on the up stream leg though by a 572...

I know,and theres such a big jump from 2nd to 3rd,manual is great with 35's though,engine braking much better also.

what size chains do you need?

Shane

Shane

pretty sure you would be in open class,some of the vehicles had 36's in the last event?

Nice truck by the way

We wish to advise that Toyota New Zealand have not been notified of this being a regular occurrence with the Land Cruiser Prado

I think the BS started about here

Shane

Shane

Yeah that's true but if your starting with quite a bit of heat ~400 before it even comes on boost it might be quite hard for the turbo to get it under control. I want to try the smaller exhaust housing as its only a easy job and I will see what happens there. I would try the .58 hot side housing if...

Shane

whats your max boost under load?,like with the trailer on

I'd go water injection if I did a diesel again

I had a DSR TD42 kit on my old safari(sold now)went very well,esp for the price(hole kit cost less than a garret turbo)3 of my friends have also brought kits one of them not finished yate,all happy at this stage. I did have a small problem with mine(should have got the ext gate model)I called Dayne ...

OLeBHijkPUs Pretty sure thats my old safari,is very steep as you can tell by how easy she rolled.looks like he over corrected in a big way,easy to do if you havent done many steep down hills(I havent).the naturel thing to do is correct steering as the vehicle moves round but sometimes its best just...

the std arms are about 1.8-2.0mm wall thickness,they bend/ break very easy.Even if the CrMo is only 3-4mm it would have to be a heap stronger? If I did one again(safari) I would make the arms much longer(approx 300mm)needs new pick up/cert etc but would be worth the effert ,helps stop bounce esp wh...

Were those pulls winch only?
