hell the price of the diesels has gone up!

You can say that again! Prices have jumped up a bit in the last few years. I paid 6k for my 93 hilux (head done for what its worth)

Cheers, Tom.

yes - it would not be hard to make one at all. Price wise from japan quite cheap - $30, its just the 3-4 week wait I can't do.

Understandably none of the local 4x4 wreckers want to pull apart a good manual gear box.. when they get one themselves..

Cheers, Tom.

Long shot I know..
I am after the pto blanking plate from a manual safari gearbox. 6 Stud. Otherwise have to get one ex japan.

cheers

I faced the same problem in the weekend,,
Managed to get a plastic bag and rag under the filters - un screwed it and dropped it in. Threw a big rag on the floor and one on top of the diff. Made considerably less mess than it otherwise would have,

Cheers Tom.

cheers coxsy

Done a search, but to no avail..

What are peoples recommendations for an aftermarket oil pressure gauge for my diesel safari? mech, or electric? After a good reliable one as a pose to some bling bling to fill the dash up with. Factory one seams hopeless..

Cheers, Tom.

Nice looking rig there fella.
Are your flares the bunnings edging? I'm looking at replacing my factory ones in the near future.

Cheers, Tom.

Be aware that winding the torsion bars up too far reduces your wheel/ suspension down travel, and puts greater stress on your cv's

I fitted one to my GQ swb safari. Template was way out, so everything was fitted up by eye. Still, a quality product and I am not complaning.

yep there is a bung on the bottom of the tank. Just take off the bash plate and you should see it. Drained mine before I pulled it out.

Cheers, Tom.

It may be a pajero evolution, a limited few they made for the Paris to Dakar rally, a little info here..

Maby post up a picture, what engine has it got in it?

Cheers, Tom.

hypothetically its also a 15k fine/ 7 yrs in the slammer

excellent read juz, have see your truck down at the carpark - looking great.

Cheers, Tom.

Thnaks all for the advice here - just the info I was looking for.
Sounds like it should not be too difficult. I will check my diff oil after its done, tho I don't think ive lost too much - I was told these diffs hold something crazy like 8 Litres!?

Cheers, Tom

Ah right, didn't think of that. Can only give it a try.

Cheers

Cheers, Tom

One of my dash light globes had blown, no worries I put a new one in.

Hi all, new to the site, but not to 4wding - have owned many trucks over the years. This is a pic of my safari http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii618/tmcauliffe/2012-04-06155347.jpg last weekend we went up central otago whitcomb steps.. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii618/tmcauliffe/2012-04 ...

I got a 12v supply from the clock.. everything else was 24. Give it a try. I think from memory my fog lights are just wired to the battery and then to a switch in the cab.

Cheers Tom.
