my set up is a bit different two batteries making 24 volts to run my diesel jeep, it has a disconnect on the battery as it's not my day to day drive. i have a 24 volt charger just in case plus the usual 12 volt.. had to shift the jeep as the builders in fixing the quake damage, left the key in the ...

thanks for that, super cheap had them for 89 bucks, and this way I can charge in the vehicle rather than take them out again, I looked at a multiple charger there as well but that was 279 a nice toy tho ..

my diesel jeep has runs two batteries to do the 24 volt thing, I forgot to turn the isolator off when I parked it up....I know I know...anyway picked up a 24 volt charger on the way back tonight, in the 12v days id clip one lead to chassis and one to the positive terminal, on a dual batt 24 v do I ...

It only happens in a snow storm, and it did, conked out managed to jump start to battery store mainland batts gave good service, the alternator is putting out only 9 volts, even turning on the heater stalled it in traffic, driving home a nightmare. charging batteries now to get into the city ...

my jeep sits around for ever and a day dual batt 24v, it isn't under cover so cant leave a charger on it for days to keep it perking along ( not my daily driver sadly )...one mechanic advised optima blue tops ( i think ) the other said glass matt somethings, ....are there pros and cons for each ? it ...

that looks dam good nice to see some one with the skills I haven't got making magic...

late last year I saw part of one at a wreckers, will have to take the jeep in and see if it fits, then there is the worry of building a controller for it, never seen one in a jeep so not sure what the set up is..
but hey if it was simple every one would have one lol

yep 15 x 31 baja atz i looked at the mtz but for me I rep calendars from chch to timaru and the coast so many miles on road. I saw a new tyre out the injection moulded more of a mud terrain tyre, if things work out I might get a set for the mitsi jeep ....they cost me 394 each balanced and fitted ...

just had tyres done by the rakaia guys the mickey t are a great ride quieter and grip the road better ( so far ) than the maxxis I had on before..
good service as well, the mechanic spotted the lock nuts undone on the tie rods ? can't complain now I just have to get them dirty.

if you need a hand sorting the stuff to make the calendar, let me know, it's my day job lol, and god it would be so nice to see a calendar with something on I know and like..

im heading to rakaia tomorrow the service station, looking at some mickey thompsons have heard good things about them...

I have a old mitsi jeep have had the inside done with rhino coating, and humming haring about underneath, was thinking of garnet blasting then getting por 15 done as well, is it the best for that work or am I better to have old school underseal.

have a 1980 one of these would walk on broken glass for a factory pto winch my mechanic tells me some came with them as standard and should be a bolt on fit, anything else anyone has I could be keen on as well..

have a chat with peter munro commercials on blenheim rd chch, i replaced shocks and springs in my 96 diesel challenger, they measured them up got them in from aussie ( old man emu ) i think, as pajero didn't fit..

in the next week ill get an auto sparky to look at it, thanks guys the advice here is way better than some of the mechanics I've talked to

thanks guys all the info helps, one mechanic suggested rebuilding the fuel pump and working back from there that was going to be an expensive day

no worries dont mind helping out davidhowarth34@gmail.com

Its an old mitsi 2.7 non turbo diesel 4dr5 vintage 1980, when starting lots and I mean lots of white smoke out the back but only when cold, runs great when going. I replaced the glow plugs pre quake in june lol, am guessing and thats risky, it's the fuel pump maybe out of ajustment ? or is it worse ...

as it's a sunny day I thought id finally change the glow plugs in my 1980 mitsi jeep, I had picked up some plugs from detroit diesel the engine is a 4d5a engine, the ones they gave me where bosch gpf 116, when I took the ones out of the jeep they had 3p on it. the new ones are around 4mm longer than ...

Hi guys just picked up a translated manual by danco in the states for this, if anyone needs any info let me know

Thanks I'll go and have another play

with all this time I now have on my hands courtesy of the quake, i though id do a filter oil change on my 4dr5 almost vintage jeep, that was easy, it's blowing white smoke when I start so thought id change the glow plugs, now you can all start laughing, I've had diesels for ever but always had stuff ...

this is a weird one, i have a mitsi jeep with the old 4dr5 engine, had a avs imobiliser fitted to it before xmas and all good, I took one of the two batteries out, while doing so the metal strap touched each terminal, a quik spark ( I know who would bolt a strap beside each terminal almost touching ...

was driving down lichfield st I think I saw it at either the ltsa or a mechanics, dam near broke my neck trying to get a look as I drove past..

lol that normaly would be bounce the car on each side and lord ive forgotten but you can tell by the bouncing, theres a small dust cap on the side of each one, I got excitted at the start I though they where ajustable ranchos, but no such luck, Ill have a look on the weekend and see whats underneath ...

Ok im used to struts and coils, on normalish 4x4s, I knew my Jeep, had leaf springs so while I was crawling underneath just for the hell of it, I spotted small shocks , its got me curious how do they work , and how do you check them ?
