Tap??
Chuck it in the lathe and single point it. Engineering 101.
I might also suggest that turnbuckles could be found at rigging or marine supply outfitters.

Re: 2000+ 4wd ute options.
Oh yeah, the D40 narvas have a good bit of pull, not sure about getting 33s on though. Also Not much clearance underneath, much more of a car.
Know a guy (engineer) who runs a fleet of them with no complaints.

Re: 2000+ 4wd ute options.
Y61 Safari. Job done. TB45/8 will be more comfy on road, TD42 for real work. I believe the 4.8 petrols aren't as well matched to the box, (haven't driven) (4spd vs 5) but 4spd auto's not too bad. If you don't need to pull big stuff the TD27 terrano's go good as well, but not sure about post-2000 mod...

Re: Vitara Hub Tool Wanted
Pin punch and hammer works for me. If I want to be precise with a torque wrench I'll weld a couple bits of rod to a socket.
I managed to track down a proper cup socket when I had the L200, can't recall what size it is.
Should be able to be ordered anywhere that stocks Powerbuilt or Teng

You probably have a pretty good idea already, and I don't know much about this, but double check the terms, because there's CGVM (combined gross vehicle mass - includes towed) GVM, GTM/tare weights, gross laden, and various other measures. If it's plated with a GVM of 2600, they may have given that ...

My first thought would be rubbish OEM speaker wiring, possibly shorted - it's not that hard to drag new stuff, and I would recommend re-wiring everything (power and earch as well) Second would be the configuration on the head unit - it may switch between Amp-out (line level) and speaker-out.

Re: Help with PTO winch service
I wouldn't try prying against an alloy hub unless I really really had to.
Heat it and hit it.
It's possible someone has siliconed both sides of the hub gasket too. Also check that it's disengaged, then rock the shaft back and forward to see it's not binding.

Thanks, yes it is a 24v safari. So if the 24v/12v reducer is basically a transformer and the two coils are not directly electrically connected in the same circuit then the short must be between the reducer and the battery (probably after the fuse box I am thinking rather than before it)? unless it ...

Re: Tire Pressures.....
A/Ts not so bad for wear, they'll have a pretty flexible carcass and firm tread. Higher pressures will just give you a slightly rougher ride, and put more (though negligible) wear through your shocks and suspension as the sidewalls do less work. When I'm on the road with M/Ts I usually run 40-45psi....

Pulled the bitch back. Cracked all the injectors and cranked it, but probably didn't have to.
DieselBoy, not too sure about that pump thing but I heard it a while ago, it's okay to roll them counter-clockwise but not clockwise...
Best not to roll them, though.
