Workmate just told me tonight that his Safari got pinched... it was parked up on a farm out Dunsandal way.. also a couple of bikes and a trailer went from the same area.. Will post more details after work tomorrow... It was a: Grey / Black Short wheelbase model... lift kit, 35" mudders, winch ...

Hi all... just looking for a couple of bits for my 95 Hilux Located near ChCh would be good.. I need a LR seatbelt for a double cab... (went to pull on it at the wof shop and the spring thing came flying off!) Also after a tie-rod... mines a bit bent.. Will straighten the old one so I have a spare ...

Just got over the flu and found the Hilux had a bit of that diesel bug.. ironic Ripped out fuel tank, washed n dried, flushed out lines and fitted a new filter.. Can anyone recommend a good diesel additive to kill off any leftover traces of it? Plan on fitting a clear filter before the main filter ...

This will cause a bit of a headache... and couple of links for those who might be interested. warrants-certifications http://www.nzta.govt.nz/vehicle/warrants-certifications/modifying.html This is good also. http://www.lvvta.org.nz/ By the way.. Did ln106 Hilux's come out with 31/10.5x15 tyres as ...

don;t worry about it. From memory you are allowed 5 percent difference. I would.. or at least allow for it.. I was down the Old West Coast Road today and got a ticket for doing 109.. the speedo was reading 100 he issued the ticket.. only 30 bucks.. cheap way to find out the speedo reading First ...

and be sure to check his test runs...

AWESOME.

The bit at 12 seconds got a laugh..

just wondering what sort of cameras on the hood?

Just saw this on UTube.. worth a watch.

..my knocking noise turned out to be a stuffed key on the lower drive pulley.. every revolution it would knock.. to an untrained ear it sounded worse than it was.. (thank fcuk) .. it had slogged out the pulley but not the crank key-way.. not a common one apparently, but there ya have it.. phew

Ended up dropping it back to the mechanic I purchased it off..
Confirmed..motor was rebuilt about 30,000 kms ago.. so its a bit of a surprise.
Fingers crossed its not a major.. and I'll have it back in a few days.
Otherwise it could cost a bit.. bit pissed off to say the least.

what was wrong with the isuzu? Not sure.. (its a 2.6 petrol)..just dropped back to 3 cylinders on the way from the coast.. small rattle up top.. thought (with luck) it might have been a valve spring or the like....(mechanic said low compression) its parked in the garage at the moment.. might have ...

Ok.. short story first.. Had an Izuusu.. took it to the local mechanic because it wasn't running too good.. he said its stuffed. I said fine and parked it up. He had a 95 Hilux double cab for sale.. I bought it because he seamed like a straight up bloke. Now I'm wondering if I was right.. He had ...

Weird.. I've just had the same thing.. last couple of tanks.. am more worried that it might be something worse.. motor was rebuilt 40k ago.. so I'm told.. will keep an eye on this thread.

haha nice one... might need to change my location

I'd have been keen but need to do a bit of work on the lux before going up there..

Looks like you got the rain.. hope you took a camera

Looking forward to the report.

I'm just wondering if it'll cause any issues with the vehicle operating in 4wd if the front and rear diff ratio are not matched? It might be more fun to put little tyres on the front and big ones on the back.... then chuck it in 4wd and see what happens... I'm no mechanic but would gather they need ...

FArking awesome truck.. Well done.

Did I miss the vids of it in action?

Thanks for the feedback so far.. its all good The reason's I have never liked them are: Guttless Fixed with the rebuilt 2.8 TD Need big mods to fit bigger than 31" tyres Not sure but its on 33's and havnt had a problem Stiff "commercial load carrying work horse" orientated suspension, as opposed to ...

Ground clearance.. Compared with what I had before its about a foot better. This is my first and wouldn't mind reading some feedback from users. http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd494/BlairWalton/1995%20Toyota%20Hilux/PC190621.jpg Interested in hearing all the good.. or bad things about them ...

Snapped from Trademe a while ago..
The front bar was way better than the back..
Would be a trick to mount a winch in there someplace.. eh

Wheres the pics youve been on here long enough to know no pics then it didnt happen haha.. errr It was fair pissing down and stopping to take a pic wasn't on my mind.. If the weather fines up for a bit I'll pop down the road and get it re-stuck for ya.. haha Shouldn't be a problem.. still stock ...

J_Dub wrote:anybody got theres fitted n tryed yet?

Yep..
Gave it a good testing when I finally got stuck properly .. worked well.. no problem at all.. bonus wireless remote works great.

Hey all..
If theres room for another spade-hand I'd be keen.
Bit of a newbie but keen as.

Thanks for the link, looks similar to what I am going to do. I see form your plan you were going to mount the winch on the front plate, any reason why you bolted it to the bottom plate? Hey marmel.. only reason was that I didn't have the tools to rotate the clutch lever end.. I've kept it mounted ...

overkill??

.. damn.. maybe I could have done one like that.

I got a winch off stinky and made one.. all 6mm plate..
maybe overkill but its all I had at the time...
its not a safari but...

Hi all, I'm looking at installing a Lokka..

I've already found a supplier but thought I'd post here to see if I've missed a better deal..

Who's the best to deal with? feedback or offers...

Prefer new but secondhand considered..

cheers
