u will be much better off swapping to a later model engine, they are incredibly low powered and well known to grenade

Installed a Headunit and UHF radio in the 80 series today. What a mission that was! Found out that it has the factory amp in it which meant a lot of googling to figure out how to get around it as 1 pair of wires controlled all the speakers. Got it all fitted up inside the double din slots with a ...

Came back from the auto sparky last week.
They had to rebuild the solenoid - all working mint now which is nice!

Have u tried putting a larger transcooler on?

mint thats good to know thanks man So we did some testing in the weekend and from what i can gather theres no power getting to the motor. We disconnected the plug from the motor and tested it it across the pins. was no chance in voltage etc when the switch was used (both lock and unlock) Next step ...

Oh really shit i hope it doesnt come to that! Might try and do some testing this weekend see if theres power at the motor.

Awesome thanks for that it looks likes its exactly what i need.

Also does anybody know where to find a decent manual for these trucks?
Online is fine but hard copy would be even better

Have jacked it up and cant hear the actuator working when i flick the switch.
Are they hard to pull out and bench test. i.e. if i put 12v across the solenoid should it fire?
I assume u test these lockers the same as an Auto locker?
tried it with truck in Neutral and transfer in neutral aswell

Just picked up a triple locked 80 series.
Rear locker doesnt want to engage.
Truck has done 300 000 k's and has most likely never been used.
Front and center both work fine. has any body had this before? Could it be as simple as a stuck actuator solenoid?

Thanks

Hey man
Any more pics and location?
Reciepts for motor work?

Hey guys Im looking to upgrade my LN106 and looking to replace it with possible a Navara (D40 - 2.5td) I have been doing a bit of research on the net about them and seem to have a few issues that come with them Does anybody here have one? Any advice on what they are like and if they are infact ...

Id personally steer well clear of an Izuzu lol. Very unreliable engines. Id be looking towards a Nissan Terrano. Fits in your price range nicely. should get something in decent condition for 5k. TD27t engines are very good engines. Only thing that lest them down is weak steering but that can be ...

Correct. A lot of people T into the alt drain but it can back up ####### the turbo.
Best soloution is to braize or tig a fitting on to the sump (I used -10) and ran an AN line to that

CT20 off a 2.4 surf

Yes its definaly worth it. I have reciently turbo'd mine and it has made a massive difference. Especially when towing. For everything u will need including cert and rebuilding (MSE) the turbo you are looking at around 3k. Can do it cheaper if you dont intercool it or rebuild the turbo and use cheap ...

might need to be a bit more specific...

Awesome link cheers man
Toyodiy have gotten rid of all there diagrams now which makes it rather hard to find the part numbers you need!

Finally did this yesterday. Awesome write up really helped.
One trick we found was removing the max fuel screw all together. Made fitting the comp to the 3l pump much easier.
Once the top hat was back on we just reinstalled it

Iv got some for u man, one has a broken leaf but all good other than that. bottle of Jack and they are yours (Y)

I have one of these welders m (didnt pay 1/3 of that price tho) and its been an awesome welder to learn with. Run C02 with it. have welded exhausts, tow hooks, patched rust holes and my mate has even made a bumper and winch mounts with it. Can weld upto 8 - 10mm steel if u have to but wouldnt want ...

Buy and install a good quality (Auberins) EGT gauge and go from there. have been told a max temp of 550 degrees post turbo is about all u want to go.
adjust fuel to suit

yes that top housing unbolts. 4 bolts and it comes off

Theres a few guns that i really like in the 12ga range. I shoot an ATA Arms 12ga which seems to be a direct copy of a Weatherby. This will be my 3rd duck season with it and i havent had a problem with it. As Trucked said go into a gunshop and have a play with their shotguns. Iv shot Trucked's ...

I use the Bosch 18v Pro series drill and impact driver and its fantastic.
4Ah batteries and heaps of torque is a winner. And the impact driver has 180NM of torque and a 1/2" driver

Look forward to keeping up with this build man. 106's are the way to go!

Just do it your self man. If you buy new they come with a template to show you where to cut When i did mine i didnt have a template so i just guessed where to cut and drill holes. End of the day it doesnt matter if its not perfectly cut/fitting as you wont see the hole behind the snorkel Just make ...
