Hi guys,

I'm after a CT20 turbo for my 90 hilux surf 2.4 2LT.
If anyone has one in good nick it would be great to hear from you.

Please email jamiethehunter at gmail.com

Cheers!

Thanks Dazza, you just answered the last 2 questions I was about to ask. Im going to go get a switch tomorrow that will do what you indicated above, which will be perfect for what I want.

Will hopefully post some pics up when its done. Cheers guys

Thanks guys, that is some excellent info. Looks like ive got a job for tomorrow

Hi guys, finally got round to mounting some spotlights on the front of my truck for hunting etc. Now I just need to wire them up. What i'm trying to achieve is to have them come on when the lights are on full beam (with a switch to stop this also), and a second hidden switch to turn them on whenever ...

2 x Simex (90% tread) and 3 x Bridgestone (50% tread).

Just road tyres so no good in the mud (hence why I put a new set of MT's on my truck) but thought there might be someone out there who has a use for them.

$300.

Cheers guys. I see dick smith have them advertised and "stock clearance". Am gonna go in tomorrow and see if they can send one down from another store. If not it might have to be a Uh-089 for $315 off TM.

Ok cool thanks for that. Have been keeping a bit on an eye on trademe but people seem to go crazy on them and bid past the price of a brand new one!

Want to put a radio in my truck that will work with PRS handhelds. The Uniden UH-012 looks good but I seem to be having trouble finding one. I guess anything similar in size and price would be alright. The UH-089 is ok too but a bit pricey. Anyone got something similar lying around they want to get ...

Hi guys, trying to find an ARB bullbar/winchbar for my Triton.
Cheers.

A couple of huntaways will usually do the trick too

Hi Matt, welcome to the forum.

Is it a 2.5L diesel you are looking at?
What are you going to use it for mostly?

Went on a wild goose chase on sat (literally), managed to smack over 40 odd geese between 5 of us.. Somehow lodged a 1.5m branch up above my exaust/drive shaft, luckily no damage done. Sunday replaced oil pressure sender thingy and gave the truck a service.

My advice would be either a 3.0TD surf or as someone else also suggested, if space isn't an issue a nice little escudo/vitara - If I didn't need to have dogs and a couple of venisons in the back, i'd still own a suzuki. In saying all this, I don't have anything against the 2.7TD terrano either. Not ...

Palmerston North. Probly a bit far for ya.
I think you should buy a toyota anyways mate

Buy a nice cheap surf, plant it in some mud and watch it grow

Hey what part of the country are you in? Got a mate whos going to be selling his 94 turbo diesel terrano very soon, probably for around that price.

That is so awesome.

Wonder how they go in river crossings...

Greetings, and welcome to ORE.

How is your terrano after its swimming lesson?

You should take more pictures next time...

Excellent, thanks for the info. I will inform the buyer of my tyres that they will need tubes.

Cheers.

Hi Guys,

Any idea if 205/80R16 tyres would fit on original 16" 1973 Range Rover rims?

Cheers.

Headed to the river with a mate for my first play with the new tyres. Found a guy in an older L200 4wd ute who was right in the shit beside the river. Was a couple of other 4wds near by but no one seemed game enough to get close enough to pull him out so we proceeded... My mate went in first in the ...

Another poor attempt at dirtying a truck, river slush is just not the same.

A little late in the week but hey..

Finally got to play in some mud:



After being towed numerous times due to having crappy tyres, decided to order some bf goodrich mud terrains.

Yes I thought that was your little suzuki on tele. Good stuff

Well I can hear the video but cant see anything..

Yes you can always count on the press to blow things out of proportion. Everyone else has said it already Matt, but you made the right decision at the time and its great to hear that you got out alright.
Happy 4wding.

My preference would have to be uniden or mongoose. I have a uniden VS1600 myself (another trademe bargain). Couple of points that I can think of which might be useful to know: * Get one with immobiliser(s) so at least they can't pinch the whole car (within reason) * Most insurance companies prefer 4 ...

My old mans got a 94 surf auto. Prior to that he's had all manuals: 2 pajeros, a bighorn, 2 older hiluxs, and a bounty and says he would never go back to a manual. We dont do anything too serious but in my experience uv got to be pretty careful on the steep down hills with an auto cos they just dont ...

Thanks for the comments so far, its certainly nice to hear positive feedback about the Triton. DJ: The lock on the triton was certainly one thing I noticed when i first test drove one, especially after driving a 3 door suzuki which can just about turn itself inside out! Comfort was one of the main ...

Hi everyone, Im new to the forum and so far have enjoyed reading through all the posts. Its really great to hear what people are doing and reading through all the interesting information you have here. I have to confess, im not a serious 4wd'er, I spend most my time hunting but we do get into a bit ...
