How much...

Hi all, Got myself a old yn106 as a weekend hunting diving wagon etc and want to change out the very old and tired leaf springs. However don't want to pay crazy new prices for a old man emu or similar spec springs. The kit would cost half of what the wagon is worth ! Anyone put any springs in that ...

Yip that's what I was thinking. Seems like a easy swap to get rid of the quarter light window and usual rust in bottom of door..

Hi,

I have the standard rusted out bottom of doors and was wondering if surf front doors fit the ln106 model hilux ? They look very similar but not sure if it will work.

Any one else done this ?

Cheers

That's all great feedback, thanks guys..

Will be looking at putting only 31s and snorkel on it but realise that they will stick affect fuel use slightly.

Hi all, I'm busy crunching a few number on a 2.7 petrol surf versus a 3L diesel version, so I'm after some real life figures from someone who owns one and users it offroad etc. looking at manual surfs not autos.. I will only be doing around 15k a year max with this wagon so doing all the number re ...

That's the one, thanks for fast reply

Hi all, We have had a contractor on site for the last few days and will finish on friday, so all going well gate will be open friday afternoon ready for Saturday. Gate will be closed on Sunday as normal. We have done some very basic fix up work to get access back, please note though access is not at ...

I get your point re fuel use, but..

When looking at vehicles it is always a point of difference. I'm trying to figure weather a zook is any better on fuel than say a 3L pajero swb with no mods...

Hey all, Looking at getting a zoom but wondering what the fuel use is like once you add a few mods, basically looking for a excuse not to get one ! So with a basic lift and 30inch MUDs what sort of Kms are you getting to a tank of gas. Would it be right to guess that you can get 400kms to tank ...

Its the two pedal version..

Sold !

Its on trademe now, so have a look there if keen....

Well, time to grow up and buy a house so the new toy has to go.. I have only just built this up as my weekend wagon for adventure and hunting etc. 95 xj cherokee 145,000kms Green\bluey colour (Paint fading on roof and bonnet) 3 inch rough country lift (new shocks, front coil springs and rear leaf ...

Given jeep was stock when i got it, i think the 3inch lift is only really 2inch once you lift it back to stock height etc..

I have noticed rear spring sag already and the new leafs and shocks have only been in for 2 months, i guess they have to settle...

too much rubbing for me...

Would have to cut the guards a fair amount and cant really be bothered, also changing to AT tyres as dont really need the muds..

My xj...

Running 3 inch rough country lift
31 inch tyres (soon to be 30inch)

High Seas Close Vehicle Access To Red Rocks The high seas that pummelled Wellington’s South Coast overnight have caused the closure of part of the vehicle access track to Red Rocks. Parts of the track, past the first community of baches, have been washed away and it is very dangerous for vehicles in ...

nope im green, with white rims.. Based in town..

Will sort out a pic soon !

Thanks Fen, you did have a mint wagon !

My plans changed slightly, put in a 3 inch rough country lift kit and 31's. has worked out very well so far. Just cut out cat converter last weekend also, so slowly bringing the old girl upto spec..

Will post a pic once i figure out how..

Got it from Scott in christchurch. he is importing them and selling them on trademe. The old link is below. I have spoken to him a few times on the phone and he has been very helpfull. my kit hasnt arrived yet, hopefully being sent today in time for weekend.

Will post info on the install etc

Well just ordered the rough country 3inch lift kit.. Will post some before and after pics once installed etc.

hoping to get it installed next weekend... will be my first time having a crack at this sort of thing

Thanks coop, great reply..

ive been thinking about new rear leafs as well. happy to pay to replace the old tired ones..
Will have a look into the coil spacers and drop brackets for the rear leafs, seems like a good option. it would be a bit tight to fit the 31's without the spacers i think.

Who out there is running a rough country lift in there xj ? been reading lots of US forums with mixed results. Whats your exprience with them ? Trying to decide on a rough country 3 inch lift versus the Old man emu lift. only ever going to fit 31 inch tyres so no need for a bigger lift... I use old ...

Well just ordered my lift and snorkel today.. Going with the old man emu option, trying to get enough lift to fit 31's under her. have been told by shop it will be sweet using zj coils up front and bigger leafs at the back to sort. time will tell i guess ! Will no doubt play around with a 15x 7 and ...
