Finance??

Did you buy that gold one on trademe it looked a tidy unit Yeah thats the one, its bloody tidy verging on mint even, I am trying to upload a photo but cant find the photo album bit?? One thing I was thinking about was whether I could bolt all my running gear and cab to a Bundera or Prado coil ...

Sweet thanks for your comments, I havn't picked it up yet but its a wellington truck, owned by an older gentlemen and he has told me it is stock, and it looks it. I have been looking round on trade me etc and found that I can get a set of 38's or 37's for basically the same price as 35's so want to ...

Sweet, what about Horse Power, will it have enough grunt to drive 38's, or will I need to change diff ratios or put crawler gears in transfer case? I want to keep it road legal too.

Any body have any idea of how big you can go for tires on a 70 series SWB cruiser? What lifts would it need etc, I haven't had time to pick up my new ride yet, (perhaps this weekend depending on work) but I am already looking at tires and suspension mods so any advice/help will be appreciated cheers ...

Hey - can any body tell me what the 1986 on 2.4 turbo coil sprung cruisers are like for 4x4in? Are they as good as the 3.4 non turbo leaf spring models? Modifications etc? Issues? I am not familiar with these trucks and would greatly appreciate any input you have. Cheers Greg

I am after a set of wider rims for my Nissan Safari, I am running 33's on 8 inch rims and would like to go wider. If you can help PM me or gimie a text/call on 021 858 441 Cheers Greg

Hey - my dam truck is getting harder and almost impossible to start on cold mornings, I have checked glowplugs and replaced 1 faulty one, which made no difference. It starts perfectly when hot, but is running quite fumey and I have been told its due to Blow By where the combustion is blowing past ...

Oh and if anybody interested in a 86 mk safari 3.3ltr lifted 2-3inch on 33's let me know!! Looks like I could do with the money!

Hey - ive PM'd you guys bout your trucks - be sweet to do a deal if applicable. If there is anybody out there who has got/knows of a truck suitable to start with, or already done let me know. Also if you know of a partially damaged (rear) safari could be keen too.

Yeah thats what I want to do - only my deck would be alot smaller! This is the problem with 4x4ing is it gets addictive fast and keeping up with the brown's is bloody expensive! The main reason Im looking at trading up is that there are alot more bolt-ons available for the newer trucks. My mate has ...

Yeah thanks, well Ive got a set of 33's already, and Ive got a hydraulic winch set up that saves a heap of room up front which helps the approach angle heaps so thats not essential. I guess im hoping to find a safari with some rear end panel damage cheap so as I can get in and chop it all off.

Hey guys - I am considering selling my mk safari and getting into a coil sprung unit only for the fact the newer models seem to hold their prices far better (i have seen them advertised for up to $15k!) I have done a few things to my mk, but am getting to the stage of having to spend bigger money ...

Hey - could you give me an idea of price and perhaps some pics, just PM me and ill give you my contacts, cheers

Anything ...

Yup - thats pretty much excatly what I was thinking bout doing. I was gonna run a couple of light box sections from the roof to the floor with a bend at the top to bring out the roof line, it would attach to a flange that bolts onto the original mounts for the f/glass top. These would run down ...

Hey thanks - yeah I have had a brief chat with a certifier but I didn't have my truck there at the time so it was a hard thing to explain. My truck is exactly the same as yours, except mine is non turbo. He told me that as long as it looked professionally done it would more than likely be fine. He ...

Hey - I would like to chop the ass off my 86 safari and put a flat deck on. I have seen a few done in winch challenges etc. Does any body know of laws/regs on which I have to abide by, or have any tips before I throw the angle grinder at it? Comments Appreciated......

Hey guys - thanks for your thoughts - I need to keep the cost of running down so at this stage am leaning toward diesel. I am not worried bout family or carting people, (nice to have someone to hook the winch on tho) It would be nice (but not essential) to be seperated from dogs etc specially when ...

Hey - thanks guys getting some good advice here. Hey what about a 86 SWB Nissan Safari 2 door with fibreglass top? Its a 3.3l non turbo straight 6, stock standard, would this be a better buy - chuck a set of 35's on???? What are they like on the diesel? Maintainance? Things to look for?? There is ...

Sweet - yeah there is a soft top diesel at a ok price near where i live, are the petrol engines alot better than the diesel reliability wize or is it just the power thing. I have a warn M8000 that i am going to hyro drive, and was looking into the 33's - is there much into fitting them under the ...

Hey -its time i get my fat dogs out to earn their keep (and fill my freezer). I have been looking on T.M for a while and also the Trade and Exchange, I only want to spend round 3-4 grand at this stage and would like a 4x4 that I can carry dogs, get me around the farm/bush and also to take on a few ...

Hey mate - yeah I could be keen for swaps - have a look at my trade me listing, you can contact me through that if you like. I have the lada and the Nissan Patrol up on there.
