had the same issue a couple of years back and it came down to the slide bolt things on the calipers, took them apart ,lite sand paper and a bit of grease ,re installed and never had to play with them again. scary driving down a single lane motorway and braking hard and trying to stay in your own lane

I could be keen to jump in on this trip Tim, haven't had a run over Westport for a couple of years.

the old man was up ashley on monday morning putting that hilux out with the fire brigade

No from me as the land owner of the area i am in at the time can tell me if he has a tire size limit.

i put efs extremes in my safari just after xmas and i wish i had done them earlyer, i can run my tires at 30 pound off road and its still a better ride than 20 pound with raw shocks.

having problems finding replacement front tie rod/radius arm that runs from steering box to passenger side wheel, was wondering if any one on here happens to have one.
cheers Kerry

try the relay for the indicators that is just above brake pedal. small black box held in with 1 screw, mine gave up a month ago and the relay had a short in it, replaced relay and all go again.

we had 18inch bar and had to cut alot of it from both sides.

Thanks Guys for all the help from the postings Jerry was the only person who offered any help at all I would of thought that someone would step up and offer help to fellow 4wders - but no not one other person. Forget Westport then obviously no 4wd tracks down there that are worth a visit Once again ...

no worries, see you on the 18th if not before.
cheers
