LWB usually better on hill climbs and climbing up ledges that sort of thing. LWB Vit is still shorter than a SWB Safari. A SWB Safari is bumper to bumper pretty much the same length as a 4 door Surf. The Vits are a good solid 4x4 with good suspension design for a IFS truck. Suspension is easy as to ...

Hey folks, due to changing jobs and loosing my company supplied wheels, I've had to join the real world and get myself a daily driver. Managed to finally get my hands on a SWB KZJ71 Land Cruiser. 1kz-te powered, with the R151f manual trans. 200k on the clock and and has pretty much sat in a shed unu...

Hey 4x4Mac, I'm keen on a few odds and ends for my kzj71 if your parting it out?? Just small stuff that probably gets thrown out: The motor from the washer bottle that goes beside the battery (headlight washer bottle motor) Plastic vent grill beside the rear seats Speedo/gauge cluster assembly If ya...

Hell yes, thank you very much Mr

Excellent work as always

Totally busted

Hoping to find the missing parts to make that set of yours complete

Drivers seat is all there but passengers is missing base and rails or something??

DieselBoy

Hey, can either of you guys tell me what Turb the LD28 should have??

It looks like a T3 or T4 flange in the mani, but it's only a baby diesel so it needs the right turb otherwise it will be laggy and work in the wrong part of the rev range.

We have half the Turb

Especially at the moment too. Prices have gone through the roof!!! This old girl was in the early teens $$. If you compared that to what you would get for that money in the 2nd hand Jappa market...... Trouble is a Troopy is the only Jappa that comes close and your paying the same mad money for a Rus...

Hey folks, I'm working on rescuing this old girl for/with a mate :D :D image.jpeg It's a 1985 Landrover 110. So far it's had a whole new rebuilt front axle, including a replacement housing, a Disco rear housing with Detroit, new drive shafts, nee shocks, new air filter box, all hoses, rubbers and be...

Highly recommend the drive into Mangatutu hot springs, and visiting the old flax mill site on the Makaroro River

Yeah man, I have been running them for two years now and they have been great. Its been through 3 Wofs with no problems concerning the lights and beam pattern. We checked it and initially set them up on the beam setter machine at the work shop and they did everything they should. Tell you what thoug...

"Anti conformist" :mrgreen: I feel so Punk Rock right now :mrgreen: What I'm trying to point out is what we all already agree on. Those that cause the trouble already don't follow the rules. More access regulations and restrictions won't bring those members of society into line, they will ...

The only reason I would be selling a 1990's Terrano would be to buy a 1990's 4wd with a solid front axle. Terrano has the best of the Jap brands in IFS trucks for engine/running gear longevity and strength (it's a TD42 truck engine minus 2cyl), suspension performance, vehicle dimensions (wheelbase e...

The thought is great but its h&s implications could see a track manager prosecuted if he hasn't taken reasonably practicable steps to ensure its safe and its entrants safety. for instance who carries liability insurance personally in case your truck goes up an starts a scrub fire? I firmly beli...

.......definitely interested, it's been a while since we had a decent ORE gathering, and that's the best part of the country to do it in

That's how they run some of the Tracks in Aus. You apply for your permits before you leave, or drop into a designated place if you can't before you leave. You carry the permit with you when your on the track. But just like the Murawai online permits, who can afford to take on the responsibility to p...

You say that, but nz4wda and local council walked away from Thompsons track because it was to "complex" and it's kept open and drivable by those who use it now. There's dudes up there everyday rolling their trucks off the sides of the slips and burning out stolen cars

DieselBoy

We all muck in and fix them up with volunteer labour and equipment on organised working bees like we always have?? Maybe the way Whanga road is managed goes some way to providing ideas to mull over further. I'm with Nuts, I'm an old school wheeler, I respect where I go, I drain bogs, fix water table...

Man it looks cool in there these days with the vegetation getting up!!!

We have a Troopy in Aus with a 1hz in it. It's got a similar sort of harmonic vibe at those revs when not under load. Put it under load and it's not as pronounced. It's a harmonic vibration produced by the rotating parts of the engine vibrating at a particular frequency at a certain rpm. It varies f...

With wheel shimmy, which is what you describe, the very 1st place to look every times is ALWAYS the panhard rod bushes. Especially if they are horrible red nolathane bushes. Pull those out and burn them. Go to Nissan and get genuine rubber bushes that will last another 150,000km and 30 years with ou...

If ya looking for 33 x10.5, good luck.

Closest you will get is 255 85 R16, which are available in both Maxxis 762 and BFG a/t and Km2 m/t.

I rate both those tyres, Maxxis wear well for price, BFG m/t wear even better, but price is $$$$$?????

255 85 r16 = 33.2 X 10.5 roughly.

DieselBoy

Nah, it all unbolts and comes off in 5 or 6 easy to manage pieces.

Tub from backrest of front seats rearward
Seat box
Floor plates
Trans tunnel
Firewall
Guards

Get yourself a nice little die grinder and cutoff saw, makes lite work of seized up bolts in mongrel places

DieselBoy

Haha, all recovered from its engine bay fire I see

Just a boring Ol' run of the mill 350 ya reckon Skiddy

It's a lot more badass than that these days I believe, somewhere in the 400+ realm

DieselBoy

Try 12v, if it won't turn over fast go 24v, what cha got to loose??

DieselBoy

It will be the ECU, there's a place in Nelson that repairs them. Someone will remember the name, I cant find it.

Either way, those symptoms are exactly those of a dying ECU, and you can get the ecu repaired and returned back to you for a few hundred dollars with in a week.

I like it, every new incarnation of ORE (and there's been a few over the years) is new and intriguing. This one is cool, and only a true enthusiast (4x4 & IT) would donate this much of their free time to shagging around with a site like this :D :D Where do I find the "view active topics&quo...
