Yep its a shit of a job especially the oil line for the vacuum pump. If you haven't done so already unbolt the air con pump it will make life easier slightly

Tires are like boobs, they always look big until you have played with them for a while, then you just want a bigger set.

They come off like a 2010 prado but the very base model one.

and if you havent got it back together yet, leave the fourth (#### one,closest to turbo) bolt out..makes life sooooo much easier next time. it is not required to hold the ac on
modified surf, hardly drive it seem to keep modifying it....

yes, it really is a bastard that bolt. Just be wary, that cast bracket is prone to breaking without said bastard installed
Re: 02-03 Feb
Went to fit inner tie rod on the TJ after it finally turned up from Morris in the states and made a rookie error of over tightening the castle nut. Ive been hunting everywhere for a replacement tie rod end (inner that meets the pitman arm) in NZ but no store lists the part. Anyone know if the V8 Grand Cherokee upgrade I see in write ups works exactly the same over here or if there is an alternative Chrysler Tie rod I can use.. Help.

Re: 02-03 Feb
today started with forge1 and his brother coming over to pick up some spare front springs i had(good to meet you guys)then it was off to the pig farm for a bit of a play,caleb(filthy4x4)came along too,was dry up there but still found some mud didn't take that long to drive around with only two trucks,also had francie(the owner)as a passenger.after we had done a lap i atempted to drive a mud bog that hadn't been driven in 20years needless to say i didn't get far tryed to winch through it but snaped my winch rope,caleb tryed a snatch backwards but no good,so francie had to come to the rescue in his 110 landy used his 16500lb super winch with a snatch block off a tree and caleb anchored to the back of him to pull me out backwards so left there covered in mud inside and out,anyone thats been to the pig farm would know that it has some of the stinkyist mud you will ever come across,nothing half an hour and $20 wont fix thanks wash world.no pics from me as usual but caleb might have some.cheers craig
Re: 02-03 Feb
Replaced a torn cv boot and replaced a bent tie rod assembly from going for a play yesterday. Was worth it for the fun.
Re: 02-03 Feb
Yep, as Craig said went to the pigfarm. Ruined my nostrils for the day
Was a bloody good day though, always good to find some mud holes in a drought

Went on a club trip from Roxburgh, over to Piano Flat via. Gem Lake, stayed the night at Piano Flat then over the Old Man Range to Fruitlands today. Was an awesome trip, some real big washouts, few sketchy moments and having my locker working would have helped but everybody got there with 1 tyre being the only victim.
