Hi,

Does anyone know where to get lsd shims for safari rear lsd and terrano front lsd? Any idea on prices?

Thanks

We went down the waimak for a look today since the new 4wd area has been opened, gave me a chance to try out my new terrano LSD in the front of the safari. It was good fun,, wet, lots of mud, lots of stock 4wds out getting stuck. We came across one guy in a v6 terrano, who thought a good idea to go ...

sounds good, will check back again later.

I could be talked into it! I was also thinking worselys in the arvo, or a local river. Anyone else keen?

My old man works for the forklift company that supplies PBT with forklifts- they refer to them as smash palace, the worst place by far for wrecking the forklifts. Probably while they have your goods on them!

ok, I was talking to my mate today, and he said his 3L just bolted straight up no probs. Didnt have to change anything. Yours is manual right? Easy! Yeah Im in chch, a few hours from wanaka haha.

A mate of mine put the 2.8 in his surf and said it was miles better than the old 2.4 turbo. Hes going to turbo his too. Have a look round for a 2.8, they can be hard to find, or pricey, or another truck. I wouldnt go another used 2lt, especially for that money and only 3 month warranty I could give ...

Bad luck ay! Wierd how it just died like that, white smoke normally means turbo probs. Im sure you can get another 2lt for not too much but these engines are getting old and can be really hit and miss. $1500 to swap it !! I could swap it for you for half that! the 2.8 is way better but you are ...

Thats wierd.. The 2lte would have trouble turning the diff let alone breaking one haha!

Who done the diff swap/set up?

great day!

I hit my head on the roof of jeremys mu, so when it was my turn I got him back HAHA!

I took some flack about the charcoal bbq, but it turned out ok.

Oh and the mans truck will be out next time... if its not broke..

better than what youve got! haha, should be as good as a new engine, the overhaul being hand built instead of thrown together on a production line.

Check to see if the viscous fan is working, when you start it up from cold the fan should be going nuts, then slow down to normal after awhile... so open the bonnet and feel the air coming off it.

You probably already know this th ay

you should narrow down what you want a bit more maybe. Personally I like the 3 litre hilux motor (1kzte?) they have mountains of torque and are reliable. The thing for me too would be the running cost, if I had a supra in a hilux , i would think twice about driving it to the coast or down south etc ...

Im keen, 9th will be fine!

I before teached englishes for second languages 7 years. This guy shocker.

sorry lost the email too, it was tonys on fitzgerald ave if that helps.

Just over the phone! I done an online enquiry, then they called me up and negotiated a better deal, dont need anything in writing!

What type of rims were they? Seems like an interesting price package.

Just the standard white mangels 15x8

Thanks for all of your advice, unfortunately, things hava changed and Im moving out and renting a place with only my income , not two! So the tyres will have to wait for a bit longer... For your info tho, I done an online quote with tonys tyre service, they called me everyday trying to better the ...

still waiting for my snorkel...... 2 weeks late.

any idea on price for the bighorns?

Why no interest in the yokohamas? Has anybody run them?

Thanks for the advice. The sumitomos are a good price, farmers seem to love them. Not so keen on the kumhos purely because of the cost. I thought about the maxxis bighorns... or the silverstones rick was talking to me about. Anyone know where i can score some 15x8s? I heard the land cruiser offset ...

sorry, 33/12.50/15.

Hi, Im just wondering what you all think about these 3 options...

Im thinking about throwing a set on my Mu.

Cant really afford BFGs. Thanks, blair

rick at 4wd acc has them. Im thinking about them , $333 each for the 33s.

I nearly bought that surf! haha, took it for a test drive and everything. Slow as a wet week though. Had thoughts of supra ing it....

Oh you just cant beat the reliability of the mighty mu What I do need is an auto console and shifter from a MU or a Wizard - anyone got one? If youd said that a week ago....... I just threw all the auto bits i had lying round away. Still got driveshafts and half of your mu centre console here if you ...

I have one you can have for free if you pay freight. Its minus the vacuum pump on the back which you can swap over from yours. Its been through mud but a good clean out and should be good. Let me know if ya want it.

Hi, After 6 months dead and sitting in my mothers garden, my mu drives again. The auto blew back in january, and after many ideas and wrong gearboxes, beer, swearing, beer, late nights, beer, towropes, beer.... I had had enough. I called rick at 4wd accessories, and now it has a manual! It goes way ...
