I use 37inch trepador competition which is the smallest size they come in.(so no good for nz winch challange?) They actually measure more than 37inch :D Before that I used to ran 35inch Silverstone which were slighty under 35 inch The big advantage for me is diff clearance doesn't matter how good yo...

My 80 done that after I put new cvs and brass spindle bushes in
Bad sounding rumble/grinding when not under load
Replaced brass spindle bushes with bearings then sorted
I've still got the old drive plates with brass bushes if there any help

Lchundy

Far out how you do that
Been practicing your quater mile launches or driving round with cdl on?

Lchundy

Its all about safety and ass covering these days
Easy way round it is to fit air bag approved bar,after paying cert man getting all the bits and bobs then putting aside a weekend to sort out
But yeah you have options above aswell

Lchundy

Cheers
I've decided to do the smart but boring thing and hold off on the extra fuel bigger turbo etc
Will jazz up the auto first so can handle it
It's diffently not painful to drive as it is
All thats stopping me is funds
Got a few camping mission lined up over xmas can't wait!

Last outing I bent outer lip on 2 rims from caning it up a hill and hitting the bank with big routes sticking out :| So tyres were going flat over a few days from bead not sealing,dropped them off to get repaired Been setting it up bit better for camping was going to get a roof tent but there to exp...

Lchundy

How was it?
Thinking of going for a look after Xmas
Last time I went there from te aroha a landslide was blocking track not far from the end at katikati side,is it passable now?

Lchundy

I know it's good to keep tracks open
But to me hull rd a waste of time get heaps of clowns going up there and screwing it up

Lchundy

Generic ones i found are about $160
But there usually average quality think I keep my eyes peeled for genuine second hand light
Cheers

My rhs headlight isn't waterproof
After a few bogs and water crossing it's looking muddy on the inside

If you go with a option above you'll need a pressure switch and make something to put your locker solenoids into From memory I paid $250ish for the small arb compressor that only does lockers,comes with a nice wiring harness But cheap and easy enough to buy like a supercheap compressor and hard wire...

Its a metaphor,probably like most of your orginal post Tbh 99% people that buy y62 patrols are more into driving on road towing boats and doing the school run As for 4x4 in the last ten years my pick is the v8 diesel turbo 70 series in a wagon or troopy please it actually is 4 wheel driven First gen...

I know early model 200 series cruisers had a similar issue with 6th gear not engaging till 120km +
If a hammer your favourite tool maybe look at doing bit of construction in your spare time haha

Lchundy

Easy option but probably not the cheapest would be fitting air bag approved front bar.
Then you can leave the air bags there.

Installed boost tap on the 80 Have set it at 15psi,the over boost dash light does come on for first 1000rpm then goes out I notice it has more top end power but down low is only slightly better. Egts have come down bout 90 degrees Have done a bit of research on the pump and there good for a bit of p...

When I first took my truck for cert He failed it on airbags and front seatbelts because they work together? Ended up leaving all in because my truck doesn't have to meet frontal impact laws which I had to prove. Custom front bar was reason for removing air bags,if I had a arb/tjm/xrox etc... front b...

What's gears you get 4.88 or 5.29? 4.88 gets you closer to standard gearing with 37s 5.29 gears it down more than standard but improves pulling power with 37s I have a 80 with 37s running 5.29s Loaded up with 4 people ,camping gear,full exo,tool etc it still goes ok with standard engine running fact...

you keep saying the trans was a weak point. Can you explain what you mean please? I tow a 3.5T boat. I have installed 3 auberins gauges Boost, EGT and Trans temp. On hill climbs with the boat on the trans gets pretty hot. I have an alarm on it so when it goes off I pull over and select low range. I...
