Hey lads, Decided to sell my pride and joy. Its had a pile of work done to it but the motor is stock except for a transmission cooler. Loaded with extras (ARB Lockers, etc) all professionally installed by Motortech - full details on site... m https://trademe.tmcdn.co.nz/photoserver/full/315703885 ...

Thanks guys. Ok we're going to head up on the 28th. We'll be at the entrance around 11 if anyone is keen.

Planning on doing an overnighter to Macetown. First time up there so I'm keen to get some local knowledge on current conditions or better yet, tag along with if anyone else is planning on heading up.

Had a peak yesterday and it looks fantastic.

Cheers, Aaron

it's already got them!

I've just done this in mine. m I run a heavy duty cranking battery and using the above system have an automatically isolated deep cycle battery for stereo, LED work light and spare 12v power outlets. The aux power is on all the time and the stereo has a switch between ignition power and aux. Once ...

Sounds good, should I just keep an eye on the Events threads?

badnuz wrote:good effort, but no cable damper when winching?

Yeah I know. I got lazy after winching 4 trucks out. As you can see I made sure everyone was clear.

Having some fun at Woodhill...

Thanks. I've just bitten the bullet and got front lockers as well which I'm told you need for those really challenging carparks Apart from some rock sliders which I've ordered, I think that'll do me for a while. I know Surf's probably aren't the most capable offroader having a long wheelbase but I ...

Yes, I should be more sensitive to clicky forum junkies.

Relax lads, no need to get precious. If you read my original post, I was not tearing up Wilsons Rd. It was my first drive offroad in my new Hilux and as it turns out 4WD didn't work so I really didn't have a choice. As an offroader, hunter, fisher and camper I respect this great land of ours and ...

Thanks Niblik

Hey guys, been a member for a few weeks seeking advice on some 4WD problems I had. So thought I'd introduce myself and the truck. 95 KZN185 Surf 3.0TD Auto Mods to date: Snorkle Old Man Emu suspension upgrade (50mm lift) Mickey Thompson rubber ARB Bull Bar (No Surf ones available so fitted a Prado ...

Well I fixed it but what I did shouldn't of worked. There are two transfer indicator switches (2&4) m and when I disconnected them both the system works fine. In theory it shouldn't work. What the heck is going on? With these disconnected all modes of 4wd work and the dash lights work as well Also ...

Got hold of one and while its fixed the fault with 4WD engaging, there's still a fault with the 4x4 lights constantly flashing.

Here's my new post about this http://www.offroadexpress.co.nz/Forums/ ... 22&t=26485

I recently bought a 3rd gen Hilux and the first time I took it offroad the friggen 4WD wouldn't engage at all. Yeah I got stuck and had to be pulled out. Turns out the centre diff actuator was poked so I've had that replaced and now all 4WD modes work fine except the 4WD lights just keep flashing ...

Fingers crossed...

If you could take a pic of it or note the part number I'll make sure its the right one. If so, let me know how much you want for it. I'm in Aucks so will pay freight as well.

Cheers

Thanks guys. Don't know if it's the same part as a 99 but here's some links - pic uploading doesn't work.

My actuator is @#$%ed and I need to replace it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Are you talking about a Hilux Surf as opposed to a double cab Hilux? I have a 96 Surf, the seats fold down flat. You can buy mine Thanks and good point - It's a Surf so if you could let me know the measurements that would be great. Tell me about yours, i'm interested if it's for sale and you're a ...

Hey guys - first post.

Seriously looking at a 96 Hilux for hunting and general off road stuff.

Question: What is the internal length with the back seats folded down. Also, do they fold completely flat? Just wondering if I could sleep in the back...

Cheers
