Thanks for posting the pics wopass. Yeah, very happy with them (in my limited experience). Very good grip offroad except in the real mud. Maybe slightly more road noise than my road tyres but I can't even hear them now. And they are very good looking. Will just have to see how well they last. Now ...

I am very happy with the Scorpions. They look fantastic with great big white lettering - chicks dig it! We went out on Sunday, bit of drizzle and light rain but a fair bit of water around by the time we had to leave. The track down to the river was quite steep over gravel, wet grass and and a little ...

All terrains for my Surf
I'm a rank newbie at this so please keep your answers simple I'm attending an Agribusiness 4x4 safety course in November so should have some more clues after that. I'm looking for some on-road off-road tyres for my 94 surf. 15 inch rims 31.10.5 I'm not planning any major off-roading, most is on-road ...

OK, so what I'm getting from this is that I should probably come to a stop, then engage 4x4 (in auto lever N or P). But once moving again I should be able to move into H or L on the fly, just watching speed when moving from H to L. This definitely does not work for me. I also seem to have issues ...

There seems to be no crunching if I am in P, but she does not like the auto lever in N - crunches when moving transfer lever into N. A bloke at works reckons that I need to go into P to stop the output shaft from the trans from turning. I managed to download a surf owners manual from toyotasurf.asn ...

Engaging 4WD
I have just purchased a 1994 Surf 3.0L diesel, automatic transmission. I am a newby at this and not much of a mechanic, but willing to learn. My question: To engage 4WD and then shift to low range, do I need to move the gear stick to "Park" first? It seems that I get a crunch from the trans if I am ...
