Nice day job. Still feel for you having to drive one of those heaps of shit everyday. Looking at your camera, made me think of this... I reckon every truck driver should have one of these in the cab. I used to drive a Hino 700 with quad axle semi around the Coromandel Whitianga/Whangamata/Waihi and ...

With that gearing I'm guessing you'll be running 35s? Hows the D30 going to handle that you reckon? Bloody hell customs are a rip off aren't they. I have a roof rack set up I want to buy from Australia for my Wrangler but customs and shipping, just aren't worth it. Its going to cost just as much to ...

Nice one tycho. What lift are you running, and do you have stock control arms? I went into double black offroads store in Melbourne the other day, good guys to deal with, if only shipping wasn't such a killer. PPM tie rod, best price Melb to Wgtn I could find was $240. The rest I'm taking on as ...

Bump this thread. I got around to putting new wheels and tyres on. 35x10.5 Silverstones, go pretty well Now to upgrade tie rod and drag link, and re bush front control arms http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r158/coop_025/IMG_0841_zps35ce75f0.jpg http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r158/coop_025/IMG ...

Kumho KL71s go good, and wear good, but are pricey.

I picked up 5 Silverstone extreme mt117 off tyreshoponline for $2100 fitted which is good buying, but they are more like a 34" even though they say 35s. Haven't tried them out yet.

35x12.5 r17 Goodyear Wranglers, 4 have about 8mm in the middle and the spare around 12mm. $600 for the tyres, no rims. I'm driving Wgtn-Akld with a trailer on Tue the 14th if anyone up the line is keen. Cheers. http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r158/coop_025/bf995b80-f321-463a-9b9f-d505467b4f2f ...

Or one online from the states.
Also check you inhibitor switch on the g.box as these car play up over time with nothing there when the key is turned.

Love it, you cant beat the WJ V8 power/weight ratio. Have you re geared it? And got a front bar coming? Those flares will look the part especially with a front bar. Good buying out of the states atm, for my JK Wangler I picked up five 16x8 steel rims for 82 us each plus $500 odd for postage, there ...

Awesome videos, geez she is gonna be muddy up there in a few months time.

Thanks for the replies

Gday, is anyone here a member?
I've looked at their website, and sent off an email a few weeks ago, with no reply. The website doesn't look like it gets updated often
Failing that can anyone recommend a general club Wgtn or lower north Island. About time I joined one. Cheers.

Gidday I'm getting rid of my wheels and tyres, going down to 16x8s and 11.5 wide silverstones. These are off my JK and pretty sure they will only fit the WJs (as far as I know). Rugged Ridge alloy 17x9 with 4.75" back spacing. These go for 220 usd each. Selling all five. 35x12.5 Good Year Wranglers ...

Gday thought I would post some pics up of my location about 1700km north of Perth, about half way to Darwin. Pretty much everything on the road is a Cruiser, Hilux or Patrol, most have been modified in one way. Might get lucky and see a Cummins dodge ram or Powerstroke F truck, the real deal. Im a ...

Gday, paid under 35k for it, yeah they are something different to a patrol or cruiser, or any other of the usual jappas, off the show room floor most likely the most capable 4wd available. Mines V6 6 spd manual which goes better than I thought, although it has been re geared. I would have liked a GQ ...

Been a while since I've had a Jeep (over a year). Bought this JK Rubicon, factory front and rear lockers, dis connect sway bars, roll cage, 73:1 lo 1st ratio (does about 5kmh 1st gear on redline), dana 44 front and rear. From what I've seen so far shes a fckn weapon. Only had it around red rocks and ...

Righto cheers for that will give it a miss for now.

Gday what is the state of this track? Never been before, is it for shineys or a bit more hard out? Would one capable 4wd (winch, lockers, 35s) be ok to go it alone, or some of it alone at this time of year? Cheers.

Good luck, I seriously thought about getting in contact with you, but ended up buying the silver one on 35s in Dunedin a few weeks ago. Reason being it had all the gear and I don't have time to fit parts/modify a stock one. Yours is priced well compared to others on trademe. if it had a Toyota badge ...

Looking good, love ya vids on YouTube too, do you reckon she will be good for a trip before Xmas, woodhill etc? Pretty keen to see this in action just quietly.

Awesome wagon, can't argue with that axle articulation. Can you chuck up some details of that lift.

Gday how is this thing treating you... Have you had it in the rough stuff yet? I saw it on trademe but was in Aussie at the time so couldn't view/buy, i think I've seen her around the Waikato though. Interested to hear opinions/experiences as I will probably buy one in July if i can pick one up for ...

Had rough country in my ZJ, front right coil sagged after the second outing... what can ya do when you're on the other side of the world. An XJ will go good with 3 inches, If I were you I'd price up some old man emu front coils and shocks, make up/get some spacers made for the rear leaves with ...

Gday, don't know the truck, the ad doesn't say much but it looks ok. If it's a good quality lift it should drive and steer like a stock one, at 5.5 inches and long arms there should be adjustable panhard rods, dropped pitman arm and free from any driveshaft vibration. If you could get him to list ...

That guy was lucky the rope didn;t give way the first time she slipped. Glad for them they got out, I know that feeling of nearly losing a 4wd to the tide, and wouldn't wish it on any 4wder!
phraza is that your poorly cleaned TJ sitting on the side of the road in Northcote? lol.

Awesome XJ you have there, how does it handle and ride on road with the 6" long arm lift? Did you get rear leaves out of the states aswell or get them raised/reset/blocked over here? Above I laid out my plans to get my XJ sorted, which are now down the shitta, I ended up impulse buying a Chev ...

Or unburnt fuel when cold.
Ever thought an injector/s could be leaking?
Pull off the exhaust manifold and start it, see if any excess smoke comes out what cylinder.

Chucked my ZJ on trademe as I nearly bought an F150 4x4. That fell thru so time for an XJ again. m Sick of the zj already? Na mate put simply I want something that is a bit more rugged that I don't really care about. The ZJ is in relatively good condition inside and out so not really wanting to put ...

Nice looking TJ there, have you seen this on trademe, could come in handy sometime down the track not a bad price...

And yep the old 4.0s love to scream this is a vid I made up a couple of weeks ago with Mark (xj) ringing out his one, and my mate in his red XJ.
