Need a rear diff for the Prado. 4.88 4 spider LSD.

Don't need the center (LSD) because it's got an ARB locker.

Time to part with the Prado.
Looking for a Hilux.

Oakey doke, took the diff apart, seems that the plastic engagement piston was chipped and wouldn't come out quite as far as it should be when the lockers disengaged. So have a new piston now, hopefully all back together tonight.

if there is no air pressue thru the line it should dis-engage..... have you tried pulling the air-line at the solenoid and jacking the back up and turning one wheel? maybe the clutch gear is jammed? Yup, tried disconnecting the line at both ends, disconnected breather. Still stuck. Tried turning ...

The locker on the prado is stuck in. Have checked all the lines, sweet as, no kinks etc. Anyone know any quick tricks to get it out?
REALLY need the truck for this weekend. Failing this, will try to rip the diff head out tonight and have a look.

Cheers
Hamish

Pulled gearbox off hilux, did skids, new clutch in hilux, put gearbox back tomorrow ready for cab to go on

Haha I think from Cambridge to here you made as much as I did the whole weekend!

As for me, 4wding, kill stuff, more 4wding

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzKxaA7Ze54 Yeeaaa boi! Haha sounds awesome. Been trying to fix the locker/compressor in the prado this morning. No luck so far. Have taken the compressor out and it works on a battery so gonna rip all the wiring out now. Thought I might aswell fit an airtank while I ...

Picked up another surf tonight to chuck the body on the v8.
Duckshooting tomorrow.
Work on the Hilux Sunday.

Went to Auckland to pick up my new toy: LN60 with a 3.5 rover v8. Thrashed the funk out of it in the paddock. Spend tomorrow totooing.

I got it done to my truck a wee while ago, id never look back now, from what i beleive its the 2.4 (2l) pump with bits and pieces from the 2.8 and 3.0. Fuel economy was bad for a start, but then wound up the boost, after that the fuel economy was a hell of a lot better and the truck had more power ...

Has anyone done it?

Was talking to Phill (Traxion) and he reckons 4WD accesories are selling a kit. Apparently putting out some good performance . Might flick them an email.

Would be interesting to hear from anyone whos done it?

Hmm interesting. That's the one which I was saying is at the front (and where it's plumed up to at the moment) but I'm still getting 20+ psi. It's a bit hard to see the actuator but as far as I can tell it looks standard. Either way 20 or more pounds seems a shit load of boost, if it was boosting ...

Ive got my temp gauge hooked into an adapter which is fitted into the upper radiator hose (outlet of engine) Boost gauge is T'd off the ECU boost sensor off the manifold. Mine only boosts 12 PSI. Cheers for that, I'll go and retrieve one tomorrow. Problem solved. However... Have had a bit of a ...

Boost gauge is T'd off the ECU boost sensor off the manifold. Mine only boosts 12 PSI.

Where'd ya get that adapter mate?

After a search has revealed nothing... I'm just in the process of hooking up all my after market gauges to replace the shite Toyota ones and was wondering if anyone's put a mechanical temp gauge in? Where did you put the probe? There's a dimple on the casting which joins the radiator hose to the ...

Na, came out extremely well actually just a couple of dings and the plastic piece in the middle around the gearstick is smashed cuz my mate fell on it. But nothing major, didn't even crack the monsoons.

Went hunting at Whirinaki. Rolled the Prado. No Deer. No pigs.

F@^&!

But had a pretty good time anyway.

Might have to get ya to take me off the list of marshals, gotta get a farken operation on my ear (for the second time) that week.

Cheers

Just get a troopy! You can fit the kids and their mates!

I've got the biggest one that runs on AA's. Awesome light spotted a couple deer with it, find that they don't seem to panic in the white LED light as they do in the yellow. Got a small one that clips to the top of the .22 for shooting rabbits. Does the trick.

If you want something cheap, hard to go past the old 60 series. My old one was used soley as a tow wagon for drag cars it whole life, never missed a beat. 4L, non turb, had headers and a scoop tho.

Might come up and have a look.

Good to see its all done! Hope those chaps are at arms length to help (again ) if its anything like my snorkel it'll come off every second run.

Put my locker into the new diff (cheers skid!) then bolted everything together. Thinking about taking the truck out for some camping over new years.

I'll ask some of the bros in the club. Probably can't come myself tho, diff shat itself.

Went for hunt on friday night, got two yearlings. Farked my rear diff. So if anyone knows of any 4.88 4 spider Prado/Surf diffs lying around....

Do you mean bad stuff like this ??

Hilift accidents - Pics

Yea, that happens if you don't hold the handle properly when putting it down.

Yea, thought Cam must've been getting a bit to old for winch challenges.

As for me, went for a play up Pete Flemmings farm last night and lost my corner bar so went up this arvo to get it.

Welcome Mate!

That red prado looks near identical to mine. Especially when I get the bars on it after christmas!

Look forward to more pictures etc.
