Yes thats the one, stopped making them a few years ago which is a shame.

Hi guys looking for something like a firma-grip ground anchor. are they still about or something locally made? Got a landcruiser , but mainly want to use it for jet boat recovery with a small petrol powered winch. hammering in pin type anchors work , but are slow and time consuming to reposition.

Got a made up one in Hoon Hay. FITZY. 0274318993 Thanks , borrowed one from old work mate who's a Toyota nut . job done before he even finished the stubbie of beer I gave him . Changed all the fluids , bleed the brakes and probably went past your place on a test run up to the kiwi this evening ...

Try and stay away from doing it that way these days , same as using a punch on the front lock nuts ....

Well hubs all back together , new tie rod ends... what a difference! Ordered rear bearing kit from m , same ones as on trademe . Prices pretty sharp and arrived in 4 days airfreight. Can't fault kit, genuine Timken bearings and good seals . will be using them in future , just freight charges work ...

Anyone have a rear wheel bearing adjuster tool for landcruisers in chch I could borrow this weekend? have ordered another one from Aust , seem too have misplaced my old one and only noticed it missing after pulling hubs off yesterday .

cv's look and feel ok , but thinking about replacing them as I don't want too have too pull hubs off again in the near future because of cv failure. waste of time and money replacing them if your cv's are still ok so long as they aren't worn and sloppy they'll be sweet , have a look at the splines ...

Hi guys been 10 years since I've had too do a hub rebuild . My current 97 80 series just ticked over 250000km. Wheel bearings been going loose several times over the last 12 months, pulled them out today , outside races starting fail. Apart from that everything else looks good , cv's look and feel ...

Interesting. Just gone out and brought set of new batterys century ns70mf. First set of sealed batterys, still tad unsure if it is right decision. Last set of century lm hybrid batteries, which are still in truck have done 7 years, with water top up every 6mths or so. They are starting to fad abit ...

may be something on one of these forums??? m m theres an 80llcool one as well I think Yeah all the yank guys just fit arb bars, don't seem to have same issues here, airbag sensor is apparently inside cabin by gear shifter. Looks that it takes a almost write off crash to fire the bags whether with a ...

ARB Bars are airbag certified and should be ok, they will have a sticker on them or something and all your wof guy needs is to see proof of that. did the Toyota dealer tell you that or the ARB dealer? Maybe PM the ARB God (Badnuz) PS Delete your duplicate post At a arb dealer today, thought they ...

Got a issue ,haven't really had a clear answer too . Have a 1997 80 series with airbags , and want to fit arb bar. Told today by dealer, the 80 series bars aren't airbag "crash tested" . Looking at landtransport factsheet it appears to me the bullbars only have to be crash tested/comply on vehicles ...

cheers P/scorpions must have a softer compound then. not one of the cheaper ones around either.

Hmm No bfg m/t 285/75/16 for a month or so . Looking at a few others for my 80 series . G/Y wranglers 3 ply side wall , how do they go for road noise/Wear ? price doesn't seem to bad. And the maxxis bighorn are they 2 or 3 ply side wall? . The p/scorpion was reccomended as a close option to bfg ...

How do the front lockers handle on terrain like going up Napoleon hill, where you've got power on but need to turn to stay out of the ruts? never had a problem, more worried about those spikes between the tunnels in the creek beds!!. You don't get all that wheel spin when you break traction, that ...

Had a lockright in the front of my 70 series for 5yrs (just sold truck) . They are a great fit and forget traction aid. Only blew a cv once, Which i put down to wear and tear as they were original from new. Breaking stuff has a lot to do with how you drive..... Ran 33's ,yes downhill with no ...

Who do you reccommend for automatic servicing/repairs? in chch.

That 7 inches clearance in the garage I had , has got me worried. Also a ques . Does "b" springs( which is slightly longer ) go on the passaenger ...

Went and got a price for 2" lift kit today (ome) $1280, Sound about right? What else is there, efs looks to have similar price, but haven't really heard of them.

[quote="4WDbits"]Have a look at http://www.4wdbits.co.nz/rimmeasurements.aspx
If you have a post 1992 cruiser you should have 16 inch rims to clear the calipers. Look for approx -19 to -24 offset.[/quote

thanks

can I ask why you want 16s

Rims hit brake caliper on rear , not by much, thought 16" would give the clearance needed. fronts ok.
