I have some FJ40 rear windows, they might be the right ones? What are the dimensions of your windows?

Here's a keyway in a 4 stud setup... Not meaning to thread jack, but we had the same issue with our studs coming loose, and a few months ago we broke them all off and lost steering, So I took the parts to work and cut 8mm key ways, should give it more strength as its not just driving off the studs ...

I put the truck on jack stands, remove wheels, and clamp a straight edge on to each hub against the WMS to measure from. I find that much more accurate than trying to measure against the tyres, but many have used the tyres without issue.

Ah ok, interesting.

...for some reason I thought you'd used 70series cruiser arms and tie-rod on your winch truck, but obviously I thought wrong

Thanks Ashley, that did the trick

Does anyone know how the counterweight thing comes of the motor shaft? Is it threaded on there, or pressed on, or... ? I'm talking about part number 28 in this diagram... http://www.polyperformance.com/mfg_files/4x4/ARB/RDCP-600.jpg I'm giving the old compressors some TLC, and would like to be able ...

Are you worried about high speed handling now that your ackerman angle is reversed with the tie rod in front using those arms?

Are you talking the inner axle seal inside the ball on the housing? If so ...I heard a rumour that the GQ/Y60 inner axle seals are the same as used on the hilux solid axles. If that is true, these are two options which might work for you: http://www.marlincrawler.com/axle/front-axle-parts/front ...

Ring Don Kyatt (terrain tamer) - 09 263 6021 - they have all the bits you need, and can deliver to your door.

Here's some pics I took a while back to show the difference...

I've read that they are pretty rubbish ...if you're talking about the same little spot calipers I'm thinking of. Maybe ok for a little sports car with small tyres, but probably a different story for a 4wd and 35s. We're in the same boat and don't know which option to choose. I have sourced some mr2 ...

http://i912.photobucket.com/albums/ac325/kbushnz/40_zpsdb954371.jpg This was crazy! They were on their own, and did a 360 degree roll down the bank from where the lady in the pink top is standing. Lucky they had a good roll cage and were wearing seat belts, otherwise the result could've been very ...

Cool idea! ...I might have to borrow that one

I need to get a few odd electrical bits, and I realised I don't have a good source with a good range of electrical bits at good prices ....so, does anyone have any good suggestions of where I should shop? (online or an old fashioned store in Ak, either would suit)

Thanks,

What rotors do you use to get full pad contact with the subaru calipers on a prado? ...if you don't mind me asking.

...looking forward to this. It's been ages since I've watched a trial.

What's the spectator parking situation - can I bring the car?

Where are you located?

We have a 83 petrol gearbox here (at least I think it's still here, buried underneath some other junk), but I thought it was a 4 speed?

Spectator info is at http://www.auckland4wd.org.nz/visitors/article.asp?article=820368310

Don Kyatt sell the Terrain Tamer knuckle kits with good jap bearings etc - 09 263 6021 ...it'll work out much cheaper than buying from toyota.

The coils can still be way down on output, even though the resistances are still in spec. Try pick-a-part for a cheap coil to test with - some 4 cylinder toyota's have the same coils, and toyota previa's/lucida's had the same igniter as the model we have (different 1uzs have different igniters). You ...

Cool, thanks for the tip

i know where there is a manual one that the guy will part for pretty cheap, i was going to use it on my sas project originally but ended up buying whole gearbox with trans. I think he wanted 100 for it, but its been there awhile so im sure i can talk down the price for ya. Cool, pm me the details ...

Hi Jeremy ,Pretty sure their all the same ill pm you Steve's ph number (td power) he will either have one or know where a good one is .. Thanks mate, I'll give him a call manual or auto ? auto transferecase has a extra sensor hole for ATP switch Manual - where is this extra sensor, or what should I ...

Anyone know where I can get a GQ transfer case, for a 92 TD42 model (are they all the same?)

Looking for one in good nick, preferably that hasn't been off-roaded.

Thanks,

Yeah didn't take much to break it that night and I was bloody lucky you had that spare. The trucks still sitting on axle stands..... You wouldn't want to part with those longfield axles would ya Jeremy? Brynn I only have the CVs, no axles (unfortunately) Spending the extra $s on 30 spline axles is ...

Hi Jeremy, Thanks very much for that, very useful, don't worry about the seal surface position. Cheers Tim No probs. ...I only just noticed you listed those same dimensions in your original post, so somebody knew what they were talking about Keep us posted. I have some 27 spline longfields sitting ...

Ok, here we go... Short side = 414mm Long side = 767mm The axle seal surface measured at 34.95mm, so I guess its supposed to be 35mm (when new)? I measured both a prado and an FJ40 CV, and the distance from the thrust face, to the surface on the inner star where the circlip sits up against (the big ...

Opps, I forgot about this, sorry I'll go dig the axles out and measure them this arvo. Ours is a 92 LJ71, which is different from Brynns LJ71 ...has the bigger cvs, different suspension, radius arms etc. From what I've seen/read, the later model LJ's are the same as the KZJ's in the drivetrain, just ...

http://home.comcast.net/~dtay/axle_specs.html ...I've measured prado axles in the past, and they confirmed the info in that link, although I can't remember how accurate they were. I can measure my spare set, if prado axles are what you're after. Also note that the prado axles use the same inner ...

My 2c - ARB air locker in the front ...many will say rear, but I reckon a front locker is far more helpful. A rear locker is often very little help if you can't get the front up something because the critical wheel is not spinning. We've only ever had a front ARB in our Nissan, and when we got our ...
