Re: Christchurch 4WD Club Open Day 17th Feb

Sounds good. But just making sure, this is suited for std 4wd's (with hi/low box)?

Hi I'm looking at getting the extra row of seats for the vx (factory 8 seater seats). Can any one tell me if all vx's will have the factory fittings i.e. seat belt mounting holes.

Hi Guys. My poor old 88 Safari is starting to make some more weird noises! Occasionally when taking off (in 2wd) the front diff makes a loud knock/banging noise which can be felt right through the drive train. It has done it a few times quite some time ago but only seem to do it after backing out ...

Re: Safari suspension knock

Will have a look at those things. It's hard to tell which end it is coming from, when driving it sounds like the front drivers side but when in the pasangers seat it sound like its somewhere in the back end! The sway bar won't engage anymore so I'm wondering if it is that trying to engage but not ...

Safari suspension knock

Hi guys, I have a 88 Safari shorty. It has created a lound knock/bang in the suspenion. It has started doing this after a nasty hole (not the only vehicle that got damaged in the hole!). It mainly only does it off road but occasionally on the road. I've been told it could be a bent shock, any idea's ...
