Hi, I'm selling my truck http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... =272643929
as I want to do some changes to my new one.
Any one keen?

Starting to feel better about my tapping noise.
Yeah, got a beam axle, not sure they knew about IFS in 82 when they made my Ute?
So off with the sump it is and I'l have a look to see how bad it is.
Had nothing to do for Easter anyway.
Always keen to have a chat with any locals with similar mods.

Hi, Have an issue with my Lux. Was heading away on sat and heard a tapping noise start in my engine. Stopped and listened to it and it appears to have a little man inside hitting it with a hammer. Has anyone else out there had a similar issue with a 5M? If it is as terminal as it sounds (i'm thinkin ...

Long Wheel base springs are the same height but stiffer, I put Lifted LWB Maxitrac springs in my Paj (95 2.8 SWB) and then strapped on a set of 32x11.5's. After it has settled I can still fit my head between the tyre and guards, est 3+ inch before settled and 2 after. You have to look into how much ...

Mullet, I put some 31x10.5x15 Sumitomo's on the Paj about 60k ago. Full MT and after them being run 95% or more of the time onroad they still have 7mm of tread (19 to start i think). They behave ok on the open road, (it's a SWB 4WD) and the Wife has not done any damage but changed the vehicle off ...

As always, you want something, ask the question. But also as always it's case by case. It's probably not going to be worth the time for either of us if you want a pack of cable ties but you want bigger stuff give me a holler. Just don't ask me here cause I only get to see this site from home. Damm ...

Argg, I'm Hurt!!!!!! :eye: Yeah, we are not going to be as cheap as suprcheap all the time but after their track record with product recalls I wouldn't go there. The Consumer mag people made some strong claims on their thoughts, look here m The article starts, Super Cheap Auto offers New Zealand ...

Yeah, he comes into work all the time, funny tho tried to talk to him about truckin and he didn't seem interested???
I am sure where there is a river there is a river bank!!!
Plus some of my customers have some cool trucks, Just need to pick up drive shaft and shread my rear tyres!!!
Yeah yeah!

Yeah.........Um??????? I moved here in March, Got ute in well, March, as Wife didn't come up till July and still had the paj with her but on first outing to river with Supralux and the Mu found I had no power and we decided to put the 5m in so in the mean time have not done much. I too would like to ...

You may remember seeing the Supra that rolled off the Remark's? http://www.offroadexpress.co.nz/images/albums/Pajfans-Fun/passengersideweb_sized.thumb.jpg Well, I finally spent some time and got it sorted. Conan had got it back to Q/town so I packed up the car, grabbed a trailer and went and got it ...

Well, Looks like you did a good job When I said I was guna wreck the car that is not quite what I had in mind? After seein all that I am quite glad you are ok. Still, Now it really is looking like it's designed for me to pull apart with a grinder. Did you manage to leave me any panels to kick in ...

Well as some of you know when I shifted to Beaver Town I picked me up a mint Lux on 33's and with a heart pounding 1800 donk in him. Oh yeah more limpness in there than those 'fullas' off queer eye! So on my first outing what does Supralux do? He sells me a 5m, manual in a car and all. Yee ha 2 ...

Took the beast our to see how far I could push the old 1800. Went ok till the throtle jamed wide open Fixed that and then made a cuppa with the water comming out of the overflow bottle. Of the other three trucks I was with 1 blew his manual hubs and now understands why he needs the upgrade, another ...

Little bit upset that SaddamHusain put Repco in the same basket as Supercheap. Supercheap is well known for product recalls (See article in consumer) where Repco has a solid Rep as having Quality product. All the Tow hooks I sell are rated and the so is the Maxitrack range of recovery gear. I use ...

Yee Ha! After lots of thinking and not enough time I got to do some work on my Hilux. Nothing Major, Just dropped the tyres off the rims, tidied them up and put them back on. That will save me having to answer the embarrasing questions when my customers ask me why we have a ute parked at the shop ...

lol! , no LOL!!! What an enjoyable half hour reading this partially informative dribble? I am all for more access, less politics to get there and as Padero said the quest for the satisfaction of getting into some insatiable mud! But really? What is this all about, there are alot of heated voices ...

Cool Dave, am out of area at mo but will txt you up sometime.
Matt, Yeah made the shift up the corp ladder. Repco Blenheim is a step up and closer to home (NSN). Can't wait to head over home with the truck. The only way to get to Nelson is over the Mongotapu yeah?
Later Tony

Well I have just joined the Toyota family. just moved to Blenheim and my wife is still in Chch (for the mean time) with our Paj! Oh no nothing for me to play in and it is a bit far to commute. So, asked a few customers and came across a 83 dual cab hilux on lifted sus with 33" tyres, been messed ...

Hi, Thought I'd put up my 2c Got some Sumitomo's (cheap) for the Pajero as was really annoyed with the poor wear on a/t duelers I had, only just good for wof aft 12 mths. So I thought why not get more fun tyres if they only guna last that long. After 2 years of the wife driving them all round chch ...

I would be more concerned about what your insurance company thinks needs cert.
When it all hits the wall you don't want them tellin you to 'see ya' cause your tyres are an inch bigger etc..
T

Al, Yeah I must agree some of the staff out there do not know alot, As for asking my boss, i did (although i should stop talking to myself) and then answered myself the same as earlier posted, Tell me what you want and I will put a sharp pencil into action. 5 star, imobilisers, glass break sensors ...

The cops don't have A CLUE! Have a friend of one of my staff who had a GTR Skyline (yeah I know) that they had poked all their adolesent debt into and the thing was stolen with them watching!!! $60000 of specialised parts are easy to find but once again no one is interested! But have an exhaust that ...

Yeh, I bet you feel like your ass has gravel rash after comming down from mt Mu There are some real nice copa's out there. My wife found out the other day on her way to nelson. I got this txt message Gas $58 Speeding ticket $120 Throwing up on cop and getting off fine? Priceless!! Love the comparo ...

Well amazin how small Chch is! Had some guys in the shop and started talkin trux with them, told them that i went for a skid in the big green beast and they knew the truck, Now either Steve gets around or it's just dam hard to miss as it drives over shoppin trollies in the metropolis. New project ...

Lucky enough to sit shot gun today.
Now I know how Sir Ed felt at the top of Everest
Steve, she is a beast!!
Two big thumbs up from me.
Wish my camera had been charged to get some shots but Ric got some video.
Go the Mu!
Tony

Surley any excuse to have more tools is a valid one although I must appoligise that no one told you that you can buy Torx individually you just need to know what size you need.
From the top of head (cloudy from beer) i think you can even get 3/8th and 1/2" options.
Tony

Hell yeh count me in. What next Sat? Yeah that was my last chance to go shopping for the family. Bugger them BBQ and Mud sounds like much more fun than spending lots of cash. Still cool if I ride shotgun Steve? Cause I tried and my 31's don't fit under the Astra!
See you then
Tony

Beer, Meat and big tyres, Yep Steve it's you all ova! Surley a townie like me can make it out, might even bring some real snarlers with me, you know the ones they inject the cheese into I will be there with bells on! Tony P.s. If you go truckin I might need to hitch as I'm still havin that trouble ...

Steve? Contaminate your hilux??
Take another look from the top Looks like a Holden outkast to me!!
Yeh Paj rear are handbrake shoe, 93 onward and drum pre 91.
Still, good to see them getting some time on the forum!
Tony

I'm putting in an apology. Also, I have to move house this weekend and the lovely wife is going to be pretty pissed if I leave that to her to go play down the 'Mak. Thats ok with me, I was tryin to work out a way to weasal out of winch and snatch duties. A whole day of work on the MU??? Has it been ...
