I got a petrol 3y Tim, would that be any probs? think i read it was easier to do the comy conv into a lux that was deisel. Ive actually found a commodore being wrecked close to home, the car is ...

Dont try and twist my arm and tell me to go lex v8 or supra 6 :D all good engines, but ive owned plenty a comys and the v6s are damn good and simple.

anyone know what time this is running till 2moro? into the afternoon?

J_Dub

bbq breakfast, after 4 hours sleep, after a hard night and beers in the sun on this minta of a day

J_Dub

why not just continue using your truck as it is, keeping it at a saleable state, and look for a 60 series (solid axle), get a temporary loan to purchase it, then sell yours, shouldnt have to spend any more than what your current surf is worth, you then have no issues with not having a mobile truck, ...

J_Dub

I'm gonna be all negative and pesamistic here for a couple of minutes, and just be straight out with my opinion. No offence intended Jase or anyone else :D We are talkin about a 1988 or earlier surf, running the dreaded 2LT, and a dude who is just starting out in the work force probably earning min...

J_Dub

yea i know, shoda stuck a

at the end a that last post

J_Dub

why would you be selling what you have just finished putting into your surf? unless you selling the whole surf for $3200......

J_Dub

hhmmm, bit 2 far away if i was to be realistic, to get that sent up, but whats up with that? is it the setup that you just done the conversion with?

J_Dub

is there a entry fee for spectators?

J_Dub

AY??? didnt you just finish this conversion into your surf? faark im tempted, but why are you selling

J_Dub

this is at Onewhero right? Nice and close for me. WHat would be the best day to go as a spectator?

J_Dub

and hows its road manners? not sure if you driven a 60 with its factory setup but they harsh as on the road, feels like you driveing something a couple inches off the ground, bumpy as. mite have to get ya to email me some pics of your setup I have a very similar set up to the coons but with after m...

J_Dub

sweet mate, could be a plan, will keep shoping around with the coon swap otherwise, yes i will probably look to the drop shackels with the raised springs, are you happy with the flex you get?

J_Dub

nice 1, good score, hope it all is blue skys for ya, bita fartin round transfering everything but fairly straight forward

J_Dub

trust me, ide do the coon swap in a second if there was someone local who said "yip ive done it before, its easy and gave me a price" i dont want to spend a hell of alot a money eitha, though i want it a comfortable daily driver so it is worth spending good coin on something that will last...

J_Dub

i thought the series 1 and 2s were much the same, i know that when first released in 89 they had reliabilty issues and small parts failure, but fixed all that, which was then named the series 2, series 2s are the way to go definately. even if you just got one stripped, checked and all seals, bearing...

J_Dub

cheers guys real helpful, idealy, yes i would want to do the coon spring conversion, after seeing so many on here that are getting wicked flex, and swear buy it, but end of the day im not building an extreme rock crawler or i dont need a real competitive truck, and if i was to do it, i would definat...

J_Dub

cheers mate, yip thats the name, they sound like the go, easy and damn effective, just tryna find some pics or feedback of the reversed spring shackle hanger setup

J_Dub

I went and saw a eng/fab this morning and talked about getting some work done on my 60 surf, those of you in Auckland may know him, Bernie from Counties/Manukau 4x4. Now i was considering the Falcoon spring swap, seems to be the way to go on these solid axle surfs. Though he had never done it to a t...

J_Dub

that is something i have considered, and after reading in here seems to be the best option, though i guess it would be more expensive and i gota find someone in auckland who would do it, all the enginneer/fab gurus for that sorta thing seem to be down the sth island. What would be a general figure i...

J_Dub

Cheers Sadam, plenty of modded 60s on here i see. So to all you hilux familiar people...... i am able to purchase springs and shocks very shortly, a mate can get me a good deal through a mate who reps for Auck suspension specialists. Whats the best off the shelf srpings/ shocks to buy??? i want to g...

J_Dub

would it not be worth getting yours stripped and all the neccessary bits rebuilt/replaced? that way you know its good, never know what your getting with 2nd hand motors, otherwise theres a crowd on trademe, selling em starting at $450 i think, but the more you spend the more of a warrnty you get

J_Dub

have you been last couple weeks? how dry/wet is it

J_Dub

I'm looking for someone to weld up a rocket launcher for my boat.... x snip x Say what ... I know I should know but I'm going to ask anyway :oops: :oops: Weld up a WHAT ???
