Don't what Tom does for bends but I just bought a 3.5" donut from Chase exhaust.

Roughly $120 from memory.

I have a set of 5 BFG KM2's and a 6th hankook spare. All on steel hilux rims. Can't remember their metric size but they are basically 32.somethings. BFG's are all around 8-10mm tread from memory and the hankook is warrantable.

Could get em all to chch if you were keen.

Arron.

But if you pull the rope off the top instead of the bottom (once you have turned the winch left to right), then the rope is infact feeding off in the same direction, just 180 degrees earlier. As such the drum is rotating in the same direction and the brake functions as per the factory intention.

shortylux

Yeah. If your rope goes off the bottom normally, and you turn it round, then the rope now needs to come off the top for some brakes to work.

What type of bender? Bow and arrow?
And when you say 44mm do you mean 1"1/4 steam pipe? (Which from memory is about 42.something OD).

If so then I can probably help you. If not, then I will check my other dies when I get home.

Agree 100%. (Not that I work.with LTSA at all)

Hi Doddzee. I may be making my point poorly. Yes. I have a little experience with the heavy transport industry. To be clear, I am not talking about the stability of heavy transport vehicles. Nor am I talking about their modification. The sole reason with which I make reference to the heavy transport...

With regard to the safety issue of the lifted vehicles chassis being at windscreen height, give me a break. Can any body say Kenworth? Mack? Scania? There are more of these "extra risk vehicles" on the road than there ever will be of our lifted recreational vehicles. It's hard to believe ...

only two sets left and they would be pick up/freight from Hamilton. Make an offer. But I can't bring them down sorry. They are now in Hamilton and I will not be going there before I come down.

My comp truck had a winch mounted at the rear. It feed out the front through guides. When I needed to winch backwards I just grabbed slack rope and pulled it out the back (through a fair lead) add in a snatch block and hey presto. This deleted the potential problem of permanently running forward rou...

Is that the MANZ 44mm tube? If so, you may wish to see what others think about using it for an exo. Personally I think it's a bit light.

Arron.

shortylux

Awesome. That is reassuring. I have also set up so I can either run twin pumps or parallel filters. Again for redundancy more than actually any need
But it was all a guess based on dead recoking. Good to hear someone who is successfully running it. Thanks.

shortylux

What's the snake rule? If it head is the same size as its body then it's poisonous. If the head is wide/bigger than the body you are safe as (assuming you don't sit still long enough for it to crush you)

Will ask about freight.

I'm moving to chch at the end of Feb but will be down over the weekend of the 1st and 2nd. If you decide to go out then and some one has a spare seat, I'm keen. Happy to drag the winch rope as often as need be.

This is going back 5 or so years, but my grandfather used to ship his high top troopy over and back ever two years. Cost him roughly $5000 for each return trip. Full of personal items, even his long life groceries. No height restrictions etc etc. I assume the price has gone up a bit since then, but ...

Turns out the large radiator is from a petrol Patrol. Appears to be in good condition. Any body need one?

NZFWDA has permission to distribute the articles to their members, which we have done. We don't have permission to post to a public forum. So as an NZFWDA member, how would the article have been distributed to me? I havent seen it. As I am not a huge fan of that particular mag, never saw it there e...

shortylux

Fair enough. Yours may be different I guess. When we took all the front bolts out my mates winch was still tight. It wasn't until we loosened off one set of rear bolts (ie only a quarter of the winch was mounted) that the tightness went away. Or alternatively when we loosened the six free hub bolts....

Twin fans are still there. Was possibly going to drop them to crash bandicoot on my way down to CHCH but if you want to pick them up, that's easier for me.

Arron.

shortylux

Easy. Do you hate yourself? If so, go with the MU.

On a more serious note, how much rust is in the lux body? and what generation?

Just change the name From club to group so all these anti's can shut up. Good luck with your Facebook group Yeah, I don't think anyone is being anti.

That's exactly what happens if your mounts aren't square. Not sure if your winch will like that or not.

Look at the charge ports. If it is a 1/4" flare fitting (you can see a taper and a male thread) then you have R12 gas, which is the old one and in theory no one can regas it for you with out converting to the new gas. Converting basically involves reclaiming the old gas, changing the oil and th...
