relisted due to a muppet. bought it on behalf of his "mate" who was a "fisherman", and "out at sea, unable to be contacted"

wasted two weeks on him, finally got refund from trademe processed today.

sweet. definitely.

its the same as mine. i think my cables are still good so you wont need to stuff around unthreading them from yours.

im still after the heater controls if youve got em. Hey bro, out of interest is it because ya heater fan is only working on full speed and nothing else?? If so I can tell ya how to fix that for a couple of $2 parts from Jaycar and 10 mins with a soldering iron. Simplest fix on the planet, and ...

im still after the heater controls if youve got em.

87 lj71. 1uz swap, rest is stock. been a long term project. had the tyres for years, bought them for my first sj410. 29x12x15 terra grips. usually sits on 32" AT's but these are great for winter.

if you finish this build im gonna almost be disappointed...be a shame to break the habit.

how bad is the rust in the rear side window trims/seals, and do you reckon you could get them out in one piece? i need both sides. also after a heater control box for mine, and the trim panel around the radio (got the circular vent in it, middle of the dash above the heater controls) sorry, they're ...

Where are you? I have a 4.5 surf diff in mint condition in Queenstown. Can possibly get it to Chch next week ah, bugger. maybe not travel that far haha. I'm in hastings. just been shafted $80 for mainfreight to ship a single wheel & tyre for me from chch depot to napier, not keen on paying freight ...

as above. SAS is never going to happen, its been sitting still for 6 years now, it's about time I fixed the damn thing and got some use out of it. for a 93 KZN130, 4.5 ratio diff, IFS. not after the main steering box, just the relay box on the lh side - ive straightened the bent shaft on mine one ...

sweet thanks. will see if that changes his mind....it's a shame to see it rotting into the lawn.

fwiw i measured my lj71 against my mum's old 3dr rav4 once, quite surprised to find just how similar they were. wheelbase is close enough.

might be easier to find a rav4 body instead?

as per title, haven't bought parts for a few years. mate's got a 96 vs commodore sitting on the lawn with a dead auto trans, im trying to convince him to drop his 350 chev shed ornament into it. a realistic idea of what the old motor's worth would be useful to help things along, trademe's never ...

haven't posted in a while... selling one of the toys, '92 Samurai. was a soft top that'd been outside stored when i got it. roof was a bit of corrugated iron after 18months of putting together bits leftover from my past zukis and shamelessly bastardising ideas from good engineers, i've got this ...

found rotting away quietly on a dairy farm. needs a bit of work. oh, and it's had a bale of baleage dropped on the bonnet rust isn't too bad, someone's had a good hori at it though, roof's made of corrugated iron. it does go but not all that happy. good toy to mess with while im saving for fixing ...

if anyone's interested, i bought a taiwanese fan for a TD42 Safari off TM, $110. blades are 10mm longer but that's easily fixed.

i just hate working on buses.

sweet thanks man. heading to the wreckers today to see if i can find something to fit.

has anyone got a TD42 fan handy? need to check if a Safari/Patrol fan has the same part number as the remains of the Civilian bus one i've got. the plastic blade part, not the viscous hub. Ideally today. Got a broken housebus parked in my shed - fan blown to bits, snapped all the belts, luckily didn ...

found your problem, if you aint wearing shoes you can't get splatter in them just be careful where you step.

cruiser spat the back diff on the way to work yesterday. Making the same banging and clicking noises as last time, lost the back off a tooth by the sound of it. done about 80km on it, stopped clicking but it's got one hell of a rumble winding down poor thing. problem is my Escudo's got the stands ...

yeah, i've been told the same thing a by a few people. though no one can be certain. i haven't got any spare cash this close to xmas to be throwing parts at it

if it helps my escudo's check engine light comes on at random. been doing it for years. torched the earth leads off the body with a loose battery clamp when i first got it.

i've got a 95-ish ikz prado one in my LJ71, using one big fan off a taurus and a flat shroud. haven't had any overheats so far, been having 29 degree days here recently. Using 70amp wiring so i can piggyback another fan in if needed. broke the first rad by not checking clearances properly. thought ...

yeah, i know, it's not a 4wd...blame a certain hb ORE member who conviced me i should buy the damn thing off him... 85 suzuki alto, 800cc 3cyl, 4sp manual. 114000ish kms. been getting VTNZ wofs for a couple years. doesn't run all that happy. i don't know enough about carbs to fix it. Bought it to ...

got the 1-uz prado out of storage. took it for a thrash to remind myself why i haven't sold the old bitch. Fitting another temp gauge today. fwiw, i've owned it for 8 years, it's eaten approx $11k, and it's been running for all of 8 months and found a bit of fence wire wrapped round the driveshaft ...

been dragging pine trees for a mate. figured i'd see what's gonna break on the surf before i take it bush. turns out, front diff, towbar welds and steering box still good fun. had a bit of help from weemsy this morning - much appreciated -, test driving his new toy. did bloody well, surprised me ...

took the Escudo up north for a party, 770km. as you do. third gear synchro gave up somewhere around mangakino on the way back. might have something to do with it

rebuilt a loading bank that i drove off with the spreader on monday, turning round in a guy's yard. only way i could keep the boss from finding out broke the 3 strainer posts that were the wall, laid it flat. put a front wheel off it, no damage but my passenger was shitting himself... forgotten how ...

scored a new towrope. 25000kg 7m flat strap...small nick in the side, enough to get it thrown out at work - truck usually weighs 12 tonne + when it sinks.

given the heaviest 4wd i've got is a surf it should be fine

cheers will have a look. though the light doesnt come on when you turn the key, i've taken the cluster out and swapped bulbs etc, can't be sure it's even got one.


edit: sparky says it's let the smoke out. $460 rebuild, $220 new. tough choice...
