Anyone keen for trip soon? Mite be heading up this coming weekend if we get the overheating issues on the suzuki sorted

glad i kept the lux on its feet this time, and got away with no damage, although after you all left it broke down in the carpark, guess it didn't wanna leave

a friends suzuki runs an air in and air out line through the dizzy cap, powered by an air horn compressor, and sealed with heaps of silicone. seems to work well i dont think he's had any issues with it

i dont wanna make an idiot of myself twice in a row, and i doubt the lux will survive another roll. might just take it easy this time

I'm keen for the 24th, now that i got the lux semi fixed, hopefully i can keep it on its feet this time.

hey i'm keen i'll txt you about it tomorrow

i guess i deserve the noob comment after rolling it. im sure we can get the blizzard upside down if its that high. meant to be going to the beach this weekend but not sure as theres still a few trucks not running and tony was organising it and he might be busy this weekend. we should do a mission to ...

hopefully up and running this weekend, got a new windscreen today, put a new side window in, just have to portapower out the roof. pity to ruin such a nice body but i guess it was only a matter of time before it got a bit bashed up. i've got some pics of the damage ill put them up tomorrow, and a ...

didn't get any recovery pics unfortunately, had to winch it back in its feet with one truck and then winch it back with another (thanks coxsy, sorry about your shear pin) while the first truck stopped it rolling back over. despite the leakage of chocolate sauce and copious quantities of water in the ...

and then this happened....

woops

As topic states, preferably around Auckland area

its purpose built, but still sand based although theres heaps of mud to keep everyone happy, theres a few good bog holes and some pretty hard tracks around that you need a pretty capable truck to get through, but theres usually a bypass on the hard parts if you cant make it. definately worth a look ...

my lux starter was dead, had seized bearings and dodgy contacts, just gave it a rebuild and now its mint no need to replace just try rebuilding it. plug the breather holes too, it will stop crap getting in,the auto sparkys reckoned the holes were useless anyways

i'd be keen on the second, given that i can get the lux running by then

i'm keen to tag along with anyone going anytime soon, went last weekend and cant get enough of the place.

ive had similar problems with old man emu springs, the truck tends to sag to the right. shaking the vehicle seems to straighten it out a bit, only to sag again once driven.

Taken from the site mentioned above: "The Cable should always be a multiple of 1/2 wave length of the frequency ie: for 27MHz the length should be either 3.6m, 7.2m, 10.8m or 14.4m etc. In the case of UHF CB it is not important as the vast majority of UHF antennas are broad band and do not need to ...

Always best to be on the safe side, cheers

A photo would be nice if its not too much hassle, otherwise I think i understood how to wire it up based on the way you described it before

Makes sense, thanks for your help

I need the wiring from the solenoid pack to the winch motor, and what each terminal is on the winch. I'm assuming the bottom terminal is ground as on the previous diagram, but my wire colors are red, blue,yellow, and a long red one which i think goes to the positive battery terminal.

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for a runva winch, model is GEW10000 but I think the wiring will be the same for most models. I managed to lose mine since the winch sat on the workshop floor for 3 months before i got around to mounting it.

I recently failed a cert for the exhaust not extending beyond the body of the vehicle, although your local WOF man might be a bit more lenient

Took me about 3 months before I found one, but was definitely worth the hassle. The odd one pops up for sale every now and again you just have to keep your eyes open.

welcome to the forum if your in to suzukis the samurais are great if you can get your hands on one theyre wider than 413's and 410's. other than that as wopass said buy what you're in to, no point buying something you don't like. my mate just got a samurai and loves it. all depends what you're in to ...

Can you check the codes on the rear diffs and get back to me?

Hey Windsurfer0206 I'll be keen for a play, gets here on monday hopefully. I have open diffs too i'll have to see how it goes but i'm considering going 4.8 lsd's or a locker, will have to see how it goes first. Got another mate with an 85 with lsd front and rear goes great so it'll be interesting to ...

Was planning on testing it first, just had a bit of change from the purchase and was weighing up my options for upgrades. Just need to find a few good places near Auckland to go to. Its still in Christchurch at the moment hopefully it will be up here within a week or so.

Hey Just purchased an 84 hilux surf today! http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/8395/lemonzb4.jpg Just wondering what further mods you think would add to the performance of the truck. It will probably eventually end up with a V8 but before that I'm looking at modding the suspension and drivetrain. I ...
