Got it through a friend of a friend for $42 + GST per length

Just been down doing a bit of shoping at Steel and Tube and picked up a length of 48.3 OD X 3.2MM and by popular opinion a length of 32NB X 3.2MM I tell ya 6.5mtrs only just fits on the roof racks with a ton of over hang front and rear of my little surf. Although this isn't going to be a hell bush ...

Have priced up some 48 X 3.2mm Med pipe for the main bar and slider and 35 X 2mm pipe for bracing etc.

Was going to build a winch bar but have decided that I don't really need a winch so just bars for swatting stuff out of the way and jacking points for the highlift.

Hey Guys, Apologies if this has been done to death but couldn't find anything using the search function. I'm about to build a set of bars for my Surf was going to use 41.3 OD 2mm walled tubing but wondered if anyone had suggestions on whether there was better sizes I should be using for the front ...

Hey Mate, did you end up getting one of these? I saw those on TM too and was thinking about getting a set. My surf has a 2" lift on it and I just got some bigger tyres and they tend to rub a bit when the suspension compresses and thought I might be able to use this to wind it up further. If you've ...

Hey Guys, Have a problem that started around Xmas coming back from Kaikoura. The O/D light started flashing it was 2sec off and 1sec on. The truck still drove and changed gears no problem, and when I stopped of gas adn started it back up it wasn't flashing anymore. A couple of months later it ...

THanks Dazza will keep that in mind

Hey Guys, Bought a 95 Surf KZN130 with the 3l diesel motor just before Xmas. Picked it up from Queenstown and drove back to Chch no probs. Have noticed though that every now an then when I stop at the lights clouds of white smoke billows out the back. Had it parked up idling for ages and didn't ...

Thanks Gotflex will have a look and see if I can't find it. I'm down in Christchurch.

Have a couple of mates running the Kumhos and one had really good milage and another didn't both do about 80/20 road / off road.

Didn't think they were too noisy on road and pretty sticky off.

I think it wear depends a lot on how you drive, my 2c.

Wonder if exhaust wrap will help deduce intake temps? According to the manufacturer of the Racepro stuff "Wrapping the exhaust system maintains hotter exhaust gases, decreasing the density, and allowing the exhaust gas to exit the system faster! Greater exhaust scavenging is produced, thus lowering ...

Hi guys, My wife bighorn's auto has been acting up. Its holding gears too long, not kicking back basically running like crap. Have had it in the tranny shop and the did a full service, new oil filter etc. They said theres nothing else wrong with it even though it still doesn't change gears properly ...

Awesome thanks guys

Thanks so which one would you use to connect accessories to ie spotlights, radio, stereo etc? the left one or the one on the drivers side or would it not matter

Hey guys,

I used to own a Safari with 2 batteries that are connected up as 24v. I now have a Toyota surf with the 3ltr diesel and theres 2 batteries under the hood. Does anyone know if these trucks are 12 or 24v and which one is the main starting battery

Cheers

Hmmm, a racially motivated price hike? Exactly what I thought those rednecks need to be kicked out of the club and brought up on charges for fraudulent use of the clubs letterhad for pecuniary gain. Tony needs to be kicked in the plums then kicked off the association for his part of the coverup ...

Taylors down Tuam st I know has 40mm ones and I think they are open Thursday and Friday.

Problem with Birdlings is that you need several days of howling Norwest to flatten it out. Me and a few friends were thinking of heading out somewhere this Saturday. If you friend is in town, he's welcome to come out with us, just PM me to arrange or txt 0272219711 It's all weather permitting and it ...

Hi Pete, I'm a little disappointed in your cavalier attitude towards firearms ownership. A safe and a monitored alarm system is no guarantee of stopping a determined thief or a pro. A gun with or without a bolt can still be used for a hold up. Just recently in Canterbury a Collector was cleaned out ...

Know what you mean about trying to reload semi's. Every time I go out to the pistol range, I find a couple of hundred rounds and take home a handfull of empties the rest dissappears and become lawnmower fodder.

Hey thats not the 99 Spirit that went on trademe on that $1 auction?

Fitting Snokels is a damn fiddly job, did mine and I think next time it would just be easier to get someone else to do it. Hole saws can get a bit nasty when they bite and the drill judo throws you across the room.

I bought my wife a Honda Horizon which is a Honda badged Bighorny. It's a 94, done just under 100k and has already had the turbo replaced with a brand spanker by the prev owner. Have noticed though that the last service it had before I bought it was at DSL ( Diesel Specialist Ltd ) and they had teh ...

Guys, we don't have to follow the yanks and get nasty, the poor guy can't help it if he's that backed up he gets shitty ideas.

Cheers everyone. I've decided I'm going to make the switch over to gas as the wire is sooo much cheaper that afer zapping through a couple of KGs it would have just about paid for the reg and bottles.

Thanks Steve, if you find that reg I'll buy it off ya. My kit came with a reg but it only fits the disposable Argoshield bottles. I may give the guys at Annex Rd a yell too and see what they have in MIG wire.

I took that stuff back, Smith City was really good, full refund no questions asked.

Hey Mahindra, thats the stuff I got and it's crap. Well if I'm not the only person having problems with it I guess it's the wire.

Might try and take it back because it just isn't going to make a decent weld at least not one that will hold 2 bits of metal together.

Hi Steve,

It's 0.9mm Flux cored the brand is Ten Gauge. On the box it says self shielding for welds without gas.

It's a little Decoweld (ryobi) 135E. Got it from Smith City for $699. Probably could have gotten something better at a better price, but couldn't be bothered shopping around.
