We used to buy the whole van for $100. Between suprasurf, me, supralux and a few others we must have gone through 1/2 doz diff heads ech. They are great for gearing, but shithouse for strength. What van are they out of? Ive been trying to find out but haven't had much luck? Yea awesome for gearing ...

Thanks for replys, I know theyre rare but last pair I got was for $500, but ill let you know mudlva if I don't find anything else. Maybe I should return to 4.8 at least theyl be stronger and think I have one lying around. wasn't much damage... Crown wheel looks mint just two chunks out of pinion ...

Hi all,
Havent been on here for a while but am looking for a 5.29 diff head or crown and pinion to fit hilux. After my auto locker decided to give up its pins for the pinion to eat.
Contact on here or 0273411613
Thanks

Yea what Jim said, when going slow/in low range its sweet (provided theres decent fans attached) but when on open road they start getting hot, unless theres a way of directing air into front of rad. Thats the case for mine anyway, ive got a scoop to direct the air into rad at road speed and its been ...

And yes there will be some more action shots coming up, a bit of work needs to be done to the old girl, then we'll get it dirty again. Got some repairs on the brakes, hydro assist and electrics. I'm going to "back-half" it too. I'll be tearing the axles down for some maintenance, and replacing the ...

Been a while! Got bored so thought id update with bugger all to show Posted this somewhere else i think but made a perspex scoop for radiator as it would still slowly get hot during long drives http://i747.photobucket.com/albums/xx118/jaslux/P1010937.jpg http://i747.photobucket.com/albums/xx118 ...

Hey mate, I see your truck all the time outside the mill... Do u work near there or do you regularly need alcohol? Hahaha. Nah truck looks good and winch mounts great, nice and simple just gotta go try it out!

Hey mate good to see youre back at it. I put the radiator on the back of mine a while ago, had a few issues with overheating when on the open road but after putting bleed valve at motor end to remove any air, a shroud for the fans and a perspex scoop/duct thing to catch the air its been sweet since ...

Heres a few very random pics, coz threads aint much fun without Didnt take many, was too busy watching hopefully someone has some better ones... http://i747.photobucket.com/albums/xx118/jaslux/4x4Trials019.jpg http://i747.photobucket.com/albums/xx118/jaslux/4x4Trials009.jpg http://i747.photobucket ...

Did thompsons track yesterday. From Te Aroha over to Katikati, Was alot of fun Before http://i747.photobucket.com/albums/xx118/jaslux/Thompsons/P1010472.jpg After http://i747.photobucket.com/albums/xx118/jaslux/Thompsons/P1010682.jpg http://i747.photobucket.com/albums/xx118/jaslux/Thompsons/P1010686 ...

hi all, Bit of an update if anyones interested Finnally sorted handbrake (needed one for wof, handy motivator) Original plan worked but didnt have enough leverage so made the pivoting arms longer, http://i747.photobucket.com/albums/xx118/jaslux/P1010430.jpg http://i747.photobucket.com/albums/xx118 ...

Hey T-boon,
Saw your truck yesterday at the Hampton Down drifts, looks good.
Barworks looking real nice and it made a good recovery vehicle for all them Nissans
Would have taken a photo of it on the track but forgot my camera

Another point is the construction of your tyre whether bias or radial. Bias ply tyres generally have thicker/stiffer sidewalls and hold their shape alot better when aired down, compared to radials which tend to squat/balloon out. Bias plys are also less likely to get sidewall damage because of their ...

Hi all, bit of an update although not much Trimmed front gaurds, about 25-30mm more clearance. Still rubs at full flex but is better. Cut lip back then folded up flat so doesnt cut tyre and could refit flare. Aint pretty but not too bad http://i747.photobucket.com/albums/xx118/jaslux/P1010255.jpg ...

Hi again,

-Would love to supercharge the 2jz sorta highly unneccesary but would be awesome I looked into turboing it when i had it, was guuna be 5k drive in drive out, had 300 odd nm or torque, that was gunna be doubled and it was gunna have bout 240kw at the rear wheels 240! Funny coz its a handful enough ...

How much weight do you normally have in the truck? Remember a standard hilux is designed to have a load in the back and tow a trailer. Before you look at coon springs pull the bottom 3 leaf's and lengthen the shakles to keep the ride height and see how much of a difference it makes. I have put in a ...

Hi all, have 10 German wirehair pointer x german shorthair pointer pups for sale. Ready for homes now, about 8weeks old. All been treated for worms, fleas etc, Awesome pups showing good promise.

Ahaha some mates of mine saw this happen, were driving past and turned around to have a closer look.
Apparently drove in and just sunk. That real waterlogged sand that obviously turned into a river

I agree... This thing is cool_bananas

Well since last update have replaced crown wheel with the matched one, finished disk conversion, all new rear bearings seals etc, just need to do handbrake now. Started making brackets for it, will be similar ro hosehustlers just a smaller scale, hopefully works. Also managed to kill my camera must ...

wound brake piston in a full turn and rotors now fit nicely so doing the other one now and hopefully post some pics later. Also got new rear bearings today so evrythings ready to go back together. Now gotta start thinking about handbrake had a look at hosehustlers setup pics so may try something ...

Crown wheel and pinion should be a matched set only. Wont last very long if you only replace one Hmm yea i was wondering that... Have the crown wheel that matches the pinion so maybe i should change that too then. Thanks for that Or like Cleary says above and maybe get someone to look at it for me ...

Oh and the only reason i decided to go ahead with doin brakes is coz i had taken rear diff apart to fix this... http://i747.photobucket.com/albums/xx118/jaslux/SL373863.jpg Its the main carrier pin thing that holds the locker in got no idea how or why it broke... It made a couple of bangs then a ...

Got my axles done over the weekend Here they were before http://i747.photobucket.com/albums/xx118/jaslux/SL373842.jpg They had to be heated and pressed/cold chiseled to remove the retainer ring thing that holds in the bearing... Had about 5mm taken off the outside edge of mounting face and about 5mm ...
