Hiya- Window frame ? Not sure I understand ? The metal frame attached to the door or the FRP top ? Those parts are there but don't want to remove any more parts until I see if I can sell the whole truck. I will wreck if I have to .... cheers Pete

Hi I think its worth $900. We are in Lower Hutt.

Pete

Looking for offers on 1988 Landcruiser- not running - no reg or WoF - suitable for parts. the truck has been stored inside for the last few years but have just had to move it outside and cover with tarp. I would wreck it but haven't got the time.... - 1988 MWB 3.4 diesel - 5 speed manual - semi ...

Thanks for the replys.... I think the guy that has looked at it has suggested the solenoid as being the problem - although don't think its been with a diesel mechanic. Some of the info is a bit cryptic... I will send her to an outfit here in Petone that have been good to deal with in the past ...

Hi All, Trying to point a frien of my wife's in the right direction with some problesms she is having with what I think is a 13bt 1989 Landcruiser ( its a bit tricky trying to get all of the info) I have pasted below her exact description of the problem - I think its only related to turning off the ...

Hiya, I'm not in a built up area - but we are adjacent to one. We are zoned rural. Theer is a lot of shooting up our way on adjoining properties. I was only looking at an air rifle becuase I didn't want to bother getting a firearms licence. I will conatc the council and see if they can help ...

Hi All, I live semi rural ( zoned rural but urban properties next door) we are plagued with magpies - they tap on the windows and crap all over everything. i am thinking about geting an air rifle to try and thin them out a bit. have done a little bit of shooting in the past - but don't have as ...

Thanks for the replies....... Yeah I watched a mate seal the end of a steel snorkel on a safari and the hose from the snorkel to the manifold collapsed . The rubber flap is in good condition - I will add some sealer around the bottom of the can and around the O ring area. There are some good sealers ...

Almost finished fitting a snorkel to a 3b cruiser. I was looking at the "water trap" can that sits on the bottom of the main air filter housing - it has a hole with a a rubber flap - I guess to allow water to drain out ? I was wondering if I should seal up this hole somehow and also where the can ...

Hi Guys, have just about finished getting 70 series back running again - one of the last things left is the exhaust. Its a 3b non turbo. The exhaust has had it. Any thoughts on what to run and who in Wellington would be good to do the work ? I am hoping to run the exhaust out the side somewhere ...

Hi All, I have a spare 70 series that has a 3b motor. Its a good motor.It looks asthough its going to be sitting for a long whiile. Do I need to do anything to it ? I was able to start and run it previously but as I rob bits off the truck its getting harder to be able to run it. I am going to drain ...

Gidday,

The glow plugs are rated at 23V - so I reckon the relay is all good. The Cruisers as far as i can tell came out with two kinds of setups one with 14V plugs and the other with 23V plugs.
Cheers,

Pete

Thanks for the info - just been down and had another play - i have 21v across the rail and if i glowed it 3-4 times the problem pretty much goes away (very little smoke). i'll organise a compression test / leakdown as well. It seems to run pretty well with no water usd and very little oil ( drops ...

Hi All, When 3b starts feels like it fires on 2 x cylinders and smokes heaps of white when its cold. No smoke when running - starts OK when warm. The glow plugs test OK across batteries - the glow bright red - about 1/3 of the length - Are they supposed to glow along the whole length ? Glow plug ...

Hiya,

Any mufflers on your set up Henry ? I have no turbo so i guess I need some more silencing / back pressure than a turbo motor ?

Cheers,

Pete

Hi all,

Nearly got my cruiser back on the road/off the road. Need to sort the exhaust its completely had it so will be repalcing all. Any recomendations on size , mufflers etc ?

Cheers,

Pete

Hi,

Is yours damaged - the top cracked and split ? i have seen these fibreglassed up and have lasted for years.

Cheers,

Pete

My radiator is good and have a good spare so will be sticking with it. I will be happy just to shift it back - anything has got to be better that it is now. I have the whole unit cable and all sitting on the garage floor I will strip the cable off and see if how much of the total the weight the ...

Hiya Ski,

Sounds good thanks - just got to see of i can afford the synthetic rope......

Haven't set it back yet - will be removing the air con core for more room and cutting back the front panel. We haven't sized it all up yet but theer should be some good gains in the aproach angle.

Cheers,

Pete

Hi all, Am in the process of rebuilding a 70 MWB cruiser ( 1 truck out of 2). The winch is going to remounted further back on the new truck to get rid of the front porch. I was thinking of replacing wire rope( its stuffed anyway) with a synthetic rope to help keep the weight down. Was looking at the ...

Hi OK thanks - hopefully its (the gear) in there.....I am getting tired of crawling around under the truck. Have fitted springs and shocks etc so far .... Just want to get the truck on the road again.

Cheers,
pete

Hi,

If the cogs not there does the transfer case need to be removed to fit it ?

Pete

Hi all, I am building a 70 series MWB cruiser (manual) - out of 2 trucks my original truck also a manual has the standard PTO winch fitted- the new truck has no winch. I am going to fit the winch from the original truck to the new one - whats involved in fitting the PTO output to the transfer case ...

Thanks Guys all sorted - sleeved the shaft - the mark was minimal I couldn't feel it but it was visible. The speedi-sleeves aren't cheap ....but they do the trick.

Cheers,

pete

Cheers Richard

pete

Hiya Fitzy,

Just looked the speedi-sleve up on the net the SKF site explains all....I'll have to get hold of some verniers and measre the shaft. Thanks - I never would have known anything like this was available.

Cheers,

Pete

Gidday,

Thanks Richard- I have an old piece of plastic pipe to tap the new one in with.

Cheers,
pete

Yep spot on - Thanks ,

Next question - the seal - do i need a puller to remove or can i just sort of deform it with a screwdriver and pry it out ?

Cheers,

Pete

I am looking forwrd to see ..I wonder if it had any oil in it ?
