Yeah sadly it looks like its gonna come to that, seriously hope it isnt a stupid mistake like that haha but hopefully that will sort it.

Heya Team, So recently purchased a 2000 TJ wrangler. The clutch was disengaging at the top of the peddle and release bearing was noising.... normal thing usualy means clutch is fucked. Thought well great time to upgrade. So i ordered an Exedy Heavy Duty for the TJ (JEK-7039) from supercheap. It ...

what have you done to lift it or is it just the shackles?

Looks to me to be another person who asks the questions that they already know the answers to. Go ahead and do what you want to do, you asked for advice but your not listening. FITZY. read you in depth explanation which really helps, but also sounds like alot of money being put into custom springs ...

so theres my new one, some small boots on her but like i said, wanting to fit 35"s under there, looks like theres heaps of clearance so could maybe fit 35"s under. Mates just switched his 74 series springs for new 2" ones and hes sitting at the same height as before fully clearing 33"S so yeah haha ...

what about aiming for flex though, its allgood getting them 35"s under there but then i would want them to be able to flex and flex well. will look into ome springs though and ok, understand about the longer shackles then, the clearance between the front and the bottom of the bull bar already looks ...

ahh ok shit, well ive only got some 30" muddies on atm as they came with it but looks like theres sh!t loads of clearance lol, will post some pics of bits and peices later once im actually home haha but nice to know ya can run 35"s pretty easily then, maybe a 2" spring would be all it needs ae also ...

hey guys, been looking for lift advice on a fj70 and glad i found this but still doesnt answer some questions i have haha just picked up and fj70 swb with a ute chop, so would imagine the centre of gravity is relatively low compared to full cabs. Also the 3f has been changed out for the 2h. Now ...

see this post is way outta date but thought id post up me and my mates looking at doing napolian, no name and big river end of this month, would they all be open? also just heard about this petrol hill? anyone explain where the turn off for this track is, how long, camping at the end or loop etc ...

bump

yeah looking into getting a surf with a 5m in it and swapping bits and bobs over to make one decent truck but this all depends on sale of my v6 which fell through so wont be happening anytime soon and dont think ill have a truck sorted for this trip haha unless i take like 20L of oil or just take ...

yeah well the idea is to buy an whole other diesel surf so if need to i can switch the fuel lines and tank and everything if it just ends up being easier, but i would imagine they all the same mounts, mates got a ln65 diesel lux and pretty sure his 2lt mounts are round the same as my 3ys

interested in this aswell, thinking maybe down the road swapping my 85 surf with the same model body but better condition, what kinda legal shit would i get into haha

ALLLRRIIGGHHTTYYY THEN! well found that my little 3y after having its head gasket replaced 6 months ago has now fucked again lol could be gasket could be head or even block, but anyways thought nows time to change the engine. So i have big 4wd trip coming up so plan could be to get an 80s model surf ...

changed things a bit, dropped it back a little closer to road legal status, really this comment is just to BUMP it

akaroa/christchurch and dont got 5g haha best i could do is like 1k ae

DO these things exist! haha am looking to track down a 3rz for my hilux repower. any one got any leads?

1991 Toyota hilux Surf 3L v6 2" suspension lift 31" muddies snorkel engine has been pretty much waterproofed bullbar doesnt have wof and rego on hold, wouldnt need much i would imagine just missing the plug to plug the horn in, needs brakes fan idler would be nice too trucks in akaroa but could get ...

am keen if ya know of somewhere to source an engine haha cant seem to find one

Sweet not a bad idea, will hunt these bargains down haha keen to get started into this build

Well the thing about money is its tight atm, working in tourism if theres no tours theres no cash haha but getting into cruise ship season ill end up working way longer hours and get some doe rolling in haha so thinking ill keep an eye out for a 3rz or 2jz and grab one when they pop up, could be an ...

yeah saw bigstu threw one into his surf, what they like on fuel and cost to get a hold of? it would still require everything from clutch, gearbox, bell housing etc to all be redone as well though right? even if it did bolt onto my little gearbox the power would be too much ae?

running 31s atm and didnt think id go much bigger with the small power. so if fitting an EFI it would increase the power but then decrease again once i fit 33"s without changing ratios so i should still effectively have the same power as i do atm? haha

ok so probs end up being 5-7k for a full repower haha bit outta my price range so is there any way to pull more power outta the little 3y i have? haha or a engine that will fully bolt straight in and up to my g52 ? haha am considering getting a 3l v6 surf on 35"s as the basis of a build project ...

Would like a repower for both reasons lol fuel consumption and power haha atm on road I'm crawling up the hills outside Akaroa in 2nd gear at like 30kmh lol off-road it ain't too bad but can still run outta power on some hills but that is another option is to sell and buy something else (original ...

Haha definitly will try not too want to just repower it if I can ae haha so few of them and so many 90s era surf that if happily chop one of them up hahah

Ok so ya rekon I'm looking at around 5g for the engine conversion to say a 2jz and r series gear box so what about then buying my mates surf for 1k and leaving the 3l v6 in there and swap the auto to a manual? Then use my surfs diff to SAS the front and put the LSD in the rear? Lol so many options ...

Ok so the v6 is a bit of a drinker then what about a supra engine? They drinkers too and can't really v8 it as don't got the cash but am really considering the v6 due to the fact I'll get a few more mods to stick onto my surf aswell lol

ah allgoods but still though a 2jz would be cheaper to get a hold of rather then a 1uz, and im not a speed guru just would like a litte more power lol so thinking the 2jz will do my surf just fine ALSO a mate has a 3L v6 surf sitting on 35's, is it worth picking that up from him for dirt cheap and ...

haha dont think my wallet will agree with the refuel costs of a v8 though or they not as bad as i think?
