Hey Guys,
I'm having a few issues with the trans overheating on my VX, especially on long climbs.
Was thinking of putting in an after market cooler, any recommendations and best place to go in Chch.

Re: New Zealand Army Tac Plate????

Tac plates were actually used to identify Units when moving into assembly areas with multiple Units occupying it.

ie:

64: Armoured (QAMR)
41: Artillery
345: 10 Tpt coy
9: 1RNZIR

The Kiwi plate identifies the vehicle as being NZ Forces
etc...

Oil leak, dripping on to the front diff.
It's not pouring out, but is certainly noticeable.

Thought it was the air locker line at first, but then looked up and there was a drip on the bottom of the turbo housing.

Sliders welded or bolted to chassis rails???

Hey guys just wondering what the story is with welding sliders straight to the chassis rails. WOF man says no!!!!

I guess the other option is to make up some brackets and bolt, the issue is the brake lines etc... running down the inside of the rail.

Any advice is welcome.
