LED light bars

Hi Guys, We get a lot of LED lights though our work and lately I came across some nice six LED and ten LED models made by Aurora. Amazing light output with minimal current draw. I want to get some for my truck but there is a minimum order quantity. They're going to work out about $290 and $325 ...

Re: Are you an AA member?

I have been for 11 years but am thinking about flagging it away as I've never used them. More often than not you fix it yourself or ring a friend.

I know the first day as a non AA member I'll need them though :(

Re: what other radiators fit into 413's?

Try fitting a vitara one. They use the same mount on the drivers side, and the vitara one on the passenger. And the hose fittings end up in the same place on the same side You can use the factory shrowd of the 413 which just leaves the extra few inchs exposed. There may have been some gentle hammer ...

Re: Samurai Carb? problem

I agree sounds like carb icing to me. If you do have a snorkel you probally are best just to disconnect it infront of the air box. Rather than re instating the factory pipe to the exhaust manifold. It was this problem that motivated me to do an engine conversion... um well convince Ben to do an ...

I've got a 16v injected in my zuk and it can do 10l/100km on the open road. Around town it drinks the stuff though.

Spring Rates

Hey all,

I'm fluffing around with my suspension setup as was wondering if any one knows what the stock spring rates are on sj143 and samurai. I have a 97 coil one so info on that would be fantastic. Any help would be great.

FYI I'm currently running 150 ft/lb

Are you making a fuel tank to go under the truck in the original spot or are you putting it onto where the new tray could/should be?

Re: g16A or g16B

If you're going to run an auto go for the 16v, what the engine lacks in off idle torque it makes up for with power. And the torque converter if doing its job properly will soak up the gap between idle and 2000 rpm. You're doing well to stall either if your running an auto. What ever you choose ...
