I'm looking for a couple of front shock turrets of a Rangie, Disco or Defender, preferably in Welly, does any one have some laying around?

Mike

I have one I brought a few weeks ago but have decided not to use if you're interested, it's a 4.1, yours for $450. Am heading to Tauranga from Welly next weekend so could possibly swing by Napier is you wanted it.

CCS, Nah, just a standard Hilux/Surf 4 pin 4.1 rear.
Cheers

I'm looking for a good condition Toyota 8" 4.1:1 4 pinion diff, preferably around Wellington but not essential. If there is one with a selectable locker in it, Toyota Electric or ARB I could be interested too. I'd also like to find a 4 pinion carrier that I can fit to my front diff if anyone has one ...

Awesome, Thanks.

Couldn't agree more re the approach, that's why I'd like to go and have a chat about my ideas and get them onboard from the beginning.

Cheers for the help.

Thanks, so are all the Welly certifiers pretty good then? Understanding of 4x4's not just hotrods? Last time I had a vehicle certified one certifier told me that it wasn't possible to do what I wanted to do, just because it wasn't specifically in the manual. The other certifier used some common ...

I'll planning to make some changes to my vehicle that will require certification, before I begin I'd like to have a chat with a local certifier to make sure that they're happy, in principle, with my ideas. I'v been through the process before but I'm pretty new to Wellington so don't know who is ...

Cool, let me know when you've had a look.

You seem to know a bit about Prados, Do you know if Prados had 4 pin carriers or where they all 2 pin? Any reason that I can't fit a 4 pin centre from a rear diff to a Hi Pinion?

Sig, I don't have a cruiser lsd to swap but would your mate be interested in selling his hi pinion 4.1?

Hey wjw, I'm in Wellington, what do you reckon your R&P are worth?

Thanks Keithal,
It would seem from what I've read that all 80 series ratios are 4.1 whether petrol or diesel, is that correct?
Cheers

I'm after a 4.1 Hi Pinion Diff, with or without E Locker, any one have one laying around or know where one is that I might be able to get my hands on?

I'm thinking of fitting a Toyota Hi Pinion to the front of my Landrover, a bit stronger apparently but also it'll allow me to run the tierod higher for more clearance. Can anyone point me in the direction of some info as to what model Prado or 80/100 Series would have had 4.1 ratios in them? How ...

Hey Jarred

How much would you want for the elocker? Can you confirm it is a 4.3?
Cheers
Mike

Hi Guys, Thanks for your thoughts. I agree on the custom axle front if I break something so I am thinking down a slightly different line at the minute. What if I could run 24 spline rover side gears in the toy ARB? Get some side gears for an RD128 and slip them into the RD132 Toy locker. Agree if I ...

Hi Guys, I know very little about Toyota running gear but would like to explore the idea of using Toyota 8" centers in Land Rover housings. Not ground breaking stuff but as always we each have our own application in mind. I want to change my current ring and pinion ratio from stock 3.54 to something ...

I'm also thinking about LPG, though I'm not in the country at the moment. Sounds like the price is getting up there making it uneconomical. Can anyone give a current nz comparison of Diesel, 91/98 and LPG?

Cheers

I'm looking for a complete 3.9 V8, if you have one or know of one I'd be keen to know, south island would be best but would consider one from the north. My email address is mikexbarnes@gmail.com

Cheers
Mike

Hahaha, yeah, cheers Flyingbrick. Unfortunately none of them are what I'm after. I'm looking for a tube framed basket type rack like in the pic.

Cheers

Cheers Swampa,

I've been looking at that but I think an aluminium one like the one in the pic will work best. I don't really want a basket so I figured I''d remove the top tube and just have a low profile flat roof rack, trying to keep the 90 as low as possible.
Thanks for the help though.

Hi Guys, I'm looking for a roof rack for my LR 90. I think I can make one like the one below fit, I think the rack I'm looking for will be off a Jap import Safari. If you have one in your shed that you want to get rid of I would be keen to discuss. Of course it would be easier if it's in the south ...

Hi 91 Rangie, Looks like a great setup and a similar engine to what I've been thinking about building. Though the p76 is for the boat not my 90!! The current p76 is a little low on compression and the Holley on top just annoys me so I'm keen to sort both problems out. How does the fuel injection go ...

Dave, It's been a while since we've caught up, we should orgainse a trip sometime and catch up. I just saw this and thought I'd throw in my 2 cents as I have had my 90 certed by Don recently, he was really good to deal with, as long as you approach him right I think he's ok. He is quite practical, I ...

I am looking for two 35x12.5x15 Goodyear MTRs, apparently there is a bit of a supply shortage in New Zealand at the moment and I can't track any down, does anyone know of anyone that might have them in stock? or possibly two secondhand? I already have two that have done less than 10,000km, if I can ...

I'm selling my Disco since I've just about got my new vehicle on the road.
If anyone is interested you can check out the auction on trade me.

Cheers for that Al, your right, insurance etc becomes a problem. At the end of the day a piece of rubber that big wrapped around any 15 inch rim is never going to handle that great, especially when you consider high centre of gravity etc, but it's not going to be driven like a race car on the road ...

This seems to be a tricky one. I've got a set of 35x12.5x15 MTRs that I want to run on 7 inch rims on my Defender. I also want to have it certified but the certifier is telling me that 7s are too narrow, has any one had any problems with running 12.5 tyres on 7 inch rims? It's outside the ...

Hey Furgus,

Do you have a ph number I can give you a ring on so I can have a chat to you about doors? I've found another set but they don't have the cool galv strip along the door like yours, thought it might be good to have a chat with you and see how serious you are.

Cheers

Hey Furgus, Yeah I could be keen, what sort of condition are yours in? I have good condition door bottoms and aluminium 110 door tops, all stripped down ready to be blasted and painted, all the bits are there for the locks etc, the trims are a little shabby though, but not too bad. I can send you ...

Hey Furgus,

Yeah, looking for defender doors, any LR doors prior to 85-ish are sliding window, I have some 110 sliding window doors but I'd really like wind-up windows. The doors on your 90 would be perfect!!! want to sell me them???
