c) add auto locker to list of mods (can't let the rest of the good info go to last)

Though we all had it mixed up a little, I would take rokhounds advice, basically its normal to do this but not good for it.

Original question says it did it while in 4wd, and i think he mighta thought when ask if fitted with an auto locker that he meant the auto select for 4wd, not a lokka, so i'm thinking its just the fact he got it in 4wd on tarseal, and surfs usally dont like that? I get what i mean . But if he has ...

Did you mean its auto select for 4wd or it actually does have an auto locker in the rear?

If its got an auto locker in the rear then it won''t matter if in 4wd or not? the locker always works and wouldnt like turning into parks in 2wd either. But i dont know, mine was in the front

i have a front hook mounting bar off my old feroza, holds two hooks up the right way and also high lift points, only fits without a bull bar. Was built by southern 4wd(?) in chch. i'm down in ingill mid july if you want it, cost you a box of beers, just need bolts and hooks.

worked well on my surf and mates hilux, both got 32s

picked one up, CHEERS

I'm after a 4.1 rear diff for my surf, cheap please. Took it out to recover my patrol and detroyed something in the rear, dont think it liked the idea of being replaced. Or you can buy it for $6000 with a buggered back diff, 94 3 litre auto, reconditioned engine (dec 05), front lokka, at's on rims ...

[Got my drag link confused with the other arm in front of the diff which has permanent joints ] Nope your not confused, I meant the arm in front of the diff, thought its called drag link?? EBI engineering on Espon st in chch can recondition drag link arms, $185 plus so alot cheaper than a new one ...

cheers

Does anyone make a front drag link arm thats stronger than the originals, $455 for a new one!!! Ball joints on mine are had it. Or anyone with a secondhand one lying around?

cheers
96 patrol coil springs (different arm to leafs apparently)

any other options for stronger ifs surf cv's then?

[/They are for solid axles only...]

that sounds like a better idea

Well i blew another cv in my surf (kzn130)so i think its time i invest in some off these longfields. I what to make sure i order the right parts, what do i need? do i need the axles aswell or do they fit onto the standard ones? I have manual Asian hubs so i will need the inner bit for the 30 spline ...

fitted one to the front diff of my surf, wasn't to bad to install and easier with a mechanically minded mate. Made a huge difference to the off road ability but it does like to break that right hand cv occasionally, changed my way off driving and less troubles now. fitted the lokka brand

Who supplies these in nz?

my surf did the same thing so i had a switch fitted so it can raised and lowered manually and to whatever height you want., just cant remember how it was done.

Feroza uni filter, used for about a year but pretty good condition.

Recovery bracket for front of feroza, takes 2 tow hooks (mounted up the right way) and has high lift jack points. No hooks on it. No good if you have a bar on the front already.

Sell both together for $100

just been over whitecomb road from piano flat end to fruitlands on wednesday, tracks dry apart from the usall water holes so shouldnt be a problem by yourself, also did the track from clyde to bannockburn and the nevis, was a great day trip

installed an auto locker from steve at 4x4stuff into my ifs surf, only blown one cv but there cheap and easy to install, then again i broke the odd cv without it. It does make the steering heavier and i find that i need to go a bit slower on riverbed trips, now that i'm used to it its great and gets ...

fitted one to mine, wasnt to bad to do yourself, holes wouldnt of lined up if i used the template that came with it. I cut the hole with a jig jaw which wasnt the best thing to do but all I had, better than the angle grinder a 4x4 supplier used on my feroza when they fitted one for me. I wasnt ...

thats the area, cheers.

how hard is it to change the axle seal on the drivers side of a surf ifs diff? Can you do it while its still in the truck, looks easy but not sure??

cheers

Had my whole exhaust replaced at rangiora exhaust center, top blokes for sure, only complaint is it wasnt loud enough!

my 94 steering box has no centre, it continuse , as I found out when i bent the spline in the arm when i hit a rut so it cant be out of center, just centered the steering wheel again. but a 91 might be different. agree that the steering stop things behind the wheel could be out?

I had what sounds like same problem with my surf and had to remove the drive flange off the hub to stop it turning the driveshaft to get home. Sounded a bit like a spline slipping and speed up as i did. I replaced the outer cv and the problem was gone. The australian toyota surf website has how to ...

My surf has a similar vibration to Mikes, it started of vibrating in the front hub or diff occasionally until I had to remove the flange off the right side and put a manual hub on so I could disengage that front cv. Sounds like a spline slipping but not sure. Hoping to fix it when my locker arrives ...

Ideal to have in the shed at that price as a spare $150 buy now

I've got one complete manual hub so i guess i could fit it on one side. Be a bit odd but cant see both sides off it anyway. If that would work as we do alot of on road driving.

You had any (major) problems or negitives with the lockrite?

cheers
