Im actually a little surpised peps havent said "Just SAS it !!" ......... if only I had the $$

Out of curisoity, what parts are needed to do a SAS ??

So I have determined the CV is correct, so its the seal thats wrong. Have bitten the bullet and ordered Ex-Japan $95......what a rip off !!! but I have no choice.....Im sick of driving all over Akl looking for this one......cheers for your input......

Does anyone know of a RZN169 model Hilux being wrecked ?? Im after the outer CV and the dust cover seal that the CV goes tghrough into the hub. Toyota NZ dont have the seal, its ex Japan. Toyota NZ only sell the complete drive shaft with the inner and outer CV which I dont need, so I bought an after ...

Im in for some fun in the dark, see you all there.......

So are you going to post some of the suspension pics etc ??

Im there, looking forward to trying out my Sliverstones......hopefully wont break the front diff....

The sun was out so washed the truck.....it was covered in Street grime, really dirty stuff, had to use a whole bucket of hot soapy stuff, nearly called for help at one stage cause I got my sponge stuck in the gap between the tray and the cab, but nicely recovered it with the left hand while the ...

Not to much in the Auckland area unmless you gain private land access somehow. This is where Clubs can be good. Otherwise Woodhill 4x4 Park is the best fun around followed by Muriwai. Some clubs go into Waiuku Forest (South), but to be honest, its the same terrain as Woodhill but not as good if you ...

Hi there.....I have a Hilux and have been running the Kuhmo 33 KL71's on 10" rims with a neg 44 offset for a couple of years now. I run them tubeless and they arent beadlocked and I regularly go down to 12-14psi. I have never popped them off the bead. Go for the 10"s I reckon, the tyres look great ...

I got a Tigerz11 10000lb Winch a couple of years back too. Had no troubles with it. Like yours, my freespool was farkin hard to pull out, where as other friends could pull theres out with their little finger. Anyhow, Brett sorted it for me, I beleive it was just a grease change (Inox .......really ...

Lets not forget that this is all about passing on a concern to the 4wd community so that we are aware. Being informed is better than not surely. People can take it how they want, its just information, but Peter doesnt deserve any of this criticism that I have been reading. In my opinion if we dont ...

Hi people,

Im trying to find out if 15x8" Rims with a neg44 Offset are available ?? If so where ??

If not avaiable off the shelf, does anyone know how you would go about making them ??

Thanks in advance......

Dan

I just bought some Siilverstone Extreme 35's from Warren at 4WDBits, his price was cheaper than what was on that link...........very happy chappy.....

The 2 I have found so far mesure approx 860mm not fitted to a rim.....anyone else have these measurements ?? They seem to be all over the place and the last thing I want is mismatching tyres.....

Cheers for all your inputs.........

where you from dude ?? we got 4 at work that are 34.6" I have been in long heated discussions over the last few days with the NZ distributor over the sizing and nobody seems to know about the new moulds and the new sizing they told me the new sizing was 883mm (34.75") and the old sizing was 840mm ...

Hi people......im trying to track down some NEW Silverstone 35x11.5x15's. Im specifically after the pre Feb 2012 tyres as this is when they started manufacturing them from the new larger molds (hence a more true 35"). Unfortunately there is no way I will fit the more true to size tyres, hence im ...

I did this on the back of my hilux when I first got it to raise it up, I wound up the Torsions in the front. It was a good quick cheap fix, but long term if your doiong this to get height then I would get some raised springs......chur

Now how did you do that to your diff, Dan? Damned if I know, havent done anything serious for a while now, and I have been taking it easy on purpose lately to avoid any breakages cause I dont have the funds to keep fixing stuff. Oh well, these things happen, Im just hoping I get this all sorted out ...

OK, I didnt see this one coming. So does this mean the replacement has to be out of a 2000 model ??

OK, I opened up the Diff at long last, 5 teeth cracked off crown wheel. I can now confirm: 43 teeth on the Crown 10 teeth on the Pinion = 4.3 ratio The dia is 7.5" So this goes to show the tables are all wrong in my case. A05B code means jack shit !! The only site that was correct was the www ...
