Hi, yeah it did make a clicking noise from the relays!, but it did disengage after a bit of brut and does re-engage after a bit of a drive but was wondering if it was the motor, however it must be working to some degree. do you know where i can locate it? I havent looked yet but would be awesome to ...

Hi, Can anyone help I havent used my truck for a while, I took it for a drive today to give it a blow out, while out I through it into low and when I put it back in high the cdl would not disengage, I had to put it back in my drive and when I made a right hand turn I got a bang from the transfer ...

Thanks Zephyrheaven, will give Jason a call.

Hi Guys, I have heard over the years that the 80 series in known for cracking the chasis where the steering box and panhard attatch, I have just found that mine has done the same and was wondering what fixes people have done?

Cheers for that, pic def made it easy! your very right, its totally different.

Thanks any way tho!

Cheers for that, had heard that as well, Got a good mechanic mate that said he could do it for under $500 as long as no issues so fingers crossed they are all good. Ive heard this story about them for a while and soo many different ideas on whether they should be done or not, I guess its just a ...

Hi, Manual bottom tank? Sorry just wondering what this is? I run an after market ext cooler in my 80 series and dont use the radiator, I have no issues at all but diddnt realise they used the radiator to warm the fluid? Learn something new every day, I do a lot of coast trips and lake daniels when ...

Thanks, I will check up and see if they are the same motor, will pm you if all good! Thanks mate

Cheers, yeah it is a bit more than I want to pay, my winch is fine but the bearing housing on the front of the motor crapped itself. I think If I wasnt able to fix it I would proberly replace it with an aftermarket winch.

Thanks

Cheers for this, My 80 series had done 320,000 and I too had been told if they werent noisy now then they proberly had been done already, but I am taking all this onboard and have booked it in for tomorrow to have them replaced as just not worth the risk!

Thanks

Hey buddy,

Cool truck!

I had to run a spacer under the gear box mount, but that fixed it strait away.
Its funny, it seems no 2 Safaris are the same! you can have 2 identical trucks with the same mods and they react differently! I suppose it depends what day the truck was made! haha

Yeah, I heard they now do them in Rubber, but by the time you spend $300 on them and fluff round putting the damn things in.. well I dont know. when you have a bush thats off centred like that it can never be as strong or last as long, I was gutted as they wernt cheap! and fell to bits. I agree, if ...

After doing an 80mm lift I started having real problems with the handing of my truck(gq safari swb), especially at speed. I had put in some castor correction bushes that were suppose to have been up to the task, I was wrong, after only 1 trip they had fallen to bits (I had been warned they wouldnt ...

If you dont want him to do it he may point you in the right direction.

From what I have seen adding a turbo to your 4.2 motor performs a lot better than the standard turbo motors.

definately worth doing !!!

I have a complete set of springs for a gq 89 SWB Safari for sale
they are in mint condition and would have done around 5000 ks. only selling due to having the wrongs shocks (TOO LONG) and wouldnt pass cert. springs are for a 50mm lift

Make a decent offer

Yeah...great work. was about to ask the same question, top man Nick

hence the reason for wanting to buy second hand..altho $100 each sounds a lil steep.
