Go on just start cutting up your middy, it'll be fun

They're about as reliable as the 3L the trans is different to the td42, the diff ratios are normally 4.6 over this side of the ditch, if you can get it cheap enough drive it till it dies then drop a 4.2 an trans into it

Fakey

I think as a wof inspector you should be able to asses weather the vehicle will be safe till the next wof i.e. will those pads/tyres etc last 6 months or 1 year? If in doubt fail it.. No it has to be assesed as it is presented on the day, some discression is used but its limited to how it looks on ...

had the front tryes on my ute passed wof test, but on hard braking they slide on the the road, was pissed off an fitted new front tyes, the brake test machine can't find that fault Didnt you buy a courier recently? Id say it is more a case of your proportioning valve being adjusted up too much, New...

80 series front will bolt in too

Fakey

I just bought a 96' one like that with no tray sides or cylinder head for $400

But thats in Oz where everyone wants a 4x4 an 2wds are worth nothing

so that price seems ok

Fakey

As far as balancing goes, You could try those tyre balance beads. I got mine balanced but as soon as I drove it offroad the weights got ripped off

Fakey

I think pro-comp make a heavy duty 4mm thick rim, not sure about availability in Nz though. Steel weld on beadlocks would be my pick with an extra band welded into the inside lip of the rim. As monstr said they need to be certed an need the 36 bolts to be certed. Id steer clear of alloy outer rims a...

This thread is useless without pics

Welded front is bad mmmkay.. Do you really need a front locker? Is it worth the effort an expense versus replacing the rear lsd with a good locker. Or is there a mitsi Lsd centre from another vehicle thatll bolt into your front diff? You may find that with a locker/ welded centre in the rear you don...

Fakey

Maybe I got a good cheap one, never had any issues with it..It was over 5 years ago I bought it tho

I replaced it with a nice speed glass one 2 years ago, obviously you get what you pay for

Fakey

If youre just welding at home one of those cheap $100 auto helmets will do just fine. I used one at work for 3 years. Only replaced it cos I couldnt find a replacement lense protector. Good gloves, Im right handed an prefer to steady/support the welding hand piece with my left hand when Im welding, ...

You'd be glad you didn't go hitachi then, I've had my drill an 1/2" rattle gun over a year now, rattle guns great but the drill has been a bit rubbish from the start. Chuck slips all the time an it kills the batteries real quick not very impressed with it

Fakey

silly as it sounds go for a 13bt .had one in my old 70 and it went like i cut cat Mine went ok even with 2 melted pistons :lol: :roll: If the old 2h only has 130 odd ks on it Id be looking at a good turbo kit (not a cheap one a good one from Aus, Safari, denco, axt etc) an getting the fuel pump mod...

Getting a pzj70 cruiser factory lockers front and rear standard as they come :mrgreen: will no longer buy molested trucks haha, Will my 35's fit on without a lift if its not flexed at all Yes they will bolt on, no you won't be able to turn or drive anywhere without the tyres rubbing on the guards, ...

Progress looks good so far, I like the chassis mount.
What's wrong with the pics they're fine as far as I can see

Fakey

Think the Bj74 is more of a jap domestic market model
Bj74 13bt - bj73 3b engines
Is the 73 12v or 24v?
Havent seen many/any auto 73's, my 74 was 13bt+auto
Bj74 had a clutch booster like a pootrol an maybe 80series? Dont think the bj73 had the booster

Fakey

Most 4x4s will need a cert sooner or later if youre doing everything right

Fakey

Am I right in thinking that the 6 shooters fit onto the 60 series knuckles? An they are supplied bare with no studs etc?

Fakey

What's in your boat Pete? Sounds good

You could take a section out then rejoin it?
Like everyone does to the lwb nissan bodys?

I would go this way, would be a lot less work than chopping a surf the doin the body swap. Just cut back wall off an move it forward

I used to have a 1000fps air rifle when I was farming. It was a bit in humane in that it would go straight thru them an I'd have to hit them a few times just to slow them down. For your area I think the trap idea would be the go if you don't want your neighbours to see you chasing mag pies around wi...

Fakey

Big if I remember correctly you haven't had your truck certed yet at all? Or did I miss it in your build thread? If its certed it should say disc fr drum rr either on the plate or in the paperwork so it would need to be changed on the plate, If its not certed at all the certified will do a brake tes...

what a meat head, not sure if its the same one but I saw a rotor buggy in 4x4 action a few months back

Fakey

Pretty common winch set up over here. Used to work with a guy who has a twin motor 24v high mount winch built by the same guy in his mwb patrol. They don't run 24v thru 12v motors. They run up to 4 motors thru custom made gear set up. They have a winch dedicated 24v alternator an separate batteries....

Found these Dynatrac dana 80s while wasting time on Facebook. They look pretty strong

Just incase you do happen to win lotto this week

Hmm, thats very true about building the locker part. I supose if its too aggressive i can always loosen it up a bit. An I correct in thinking you're only running 33"s? Even on 35"s you will barely notice any adverse affects of the LSD :wink: I don't even notice mine with 10psi in 37"...

Fakey

Adjust your driving style first an foremost

an tell your mate to do the same.
my vote would be 60 series diffs with long fields an detroits for a tough budget diff. Having the clutch as a weak link is a terrible idea. Least you can remove a broken cv an drive home

Fakey

Put it in. Got one in my trol diff in my cruiser. Doesn't really try to pull you straight or do anything like that. It's not as good as having a locker obviously but its far better than an open diff.

I just moved to townsville, still working near Mackay tho. Have a look on face book for townsville 4wd's there's a few lads on there planning a trip up there soon. Most have done it before, there's some good info on there about when an where to go. Hopefully by the time you get over here ill have a ...
