Heres a couple pics from my current motor swap. The g16 pickup and the g13 sump to show what has to be done. http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk176/_castor_/20151017_204243.jpg The g16 vs the G13 pickups http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk176/_castor_/20151017_204111.jpg The pickup from the g13 ...

Theres a few options. Cut in the middle and 413/vit hybrid pick up http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr9/puddlejumper_pics/Zuk%20biuld/IMG_4787.jpg Cut just the terminal end off the vit where it enters the oil pump and weld onto samurai pick up http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll288/dan_2k_uk/Suz...

This is something I have had done on our property. Probably took him 10-15min maybe per 100m realistically cutting through gorse and some heavy overhanging trees along the track and on both sides/tops. I recommended this for the 42nd cutback recently as it was so fast and in most instances a tractor...

and some bright spark thought it would be a good idea to buy a winch attatchment for a husqvarna chainsaw and fit it with a wireless controller.......not grasping the fact you still have to hold onto the damn thing to squeeze the trigger gaurd. They look like a cool but expensive tool. Be good in a...

I sniped one off trademe last minute for $1200 wof and reg. 170thou ks. lwb. Was a year ago maybe. Cheap ones are around. Seen quite a few zuks on facebook for sale lately too.

Mate your're screwed...gotta cut the wheel off with a grinder.

Seriously though? Breaker bar, extension and socket would sort your problem. Factory tyre iron usually sucks to use anyways.

Swamped

Supercheap do a short flexible rubber aerial that fits up pretty easy. I've still wiped a few off in the Bush but they have lasted ok.

Swamped

I don't see the connection/assumption between an individual importing it and the speedo being wound back. The guy is a licensed trader, trading under his own legal name. That's 100% accountability. I imagine this is may be due to having not imported your own vehicles. There have been a ton of peopl...

Seen a couple lwb safaris that were as tidy for the same money and in NZ over the last 6 months. I'm unsure how legit the k's are on that surf but the normal wear areas in the cab look pretty new...Still could never really be sure without more info. Person looks to be an individual importing so I'd ...

Sounds like someone might have done the "cheap vitara lift" One model of spring people use is too large to seat on the upper properly. It can also mean the brake caliper binds on the spring. The other components used seem to work well (except the front shocks) because they seemed a bit sho...

Escudo is wider I think. Wrx seats wouldn't fit in my sj. Could maybe make em work but they touched the pillars in mine. I think they almost touched in the center too. Used mitsi fto seats instead as they were a pinch narrower. Pretty easy to frame them up n install. Used stock rails and flat plate ...

Yeah getting it already on hold could be best. What happens if I don’t cancel the registration? If the vehicle is required to be continuously licensed and the registration is not cancelled, the NZTA will cancel the registration 12 months after the last licence or licence exemption has expired. If th...

If it was behind RUC at its last warrant you can get billed for those k's regardless of what you do. I've always put vehicles on hold and previous owner has sorted everything. You could dereg it and just fib a bit on the ks to avoid charges I guess :? http://www.nzta.govt.nz/resources/factsheets/74/...

Discussed here with some performance and wear reports. http://www.offroadexpress.kiwi/Forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=10830 They were real popular but I think the price has slowly crept up over time making other tyres also an option. I thought mine were ok, have found Couragias to be better though fo...

Actually yes you can in most areas

Only a couple of cities are running digital....
My uho15sx truck unit can pick up the non digital frequencies.

Pretty sure the vitaras track width is similar to a hilux. My past vitaras swb and lwb have felt pretty stable with minimal lean before the ass slides out. Must be driving like an animal or the sway bar bushes might be buggered if you feel like stability is an issue

Same on mine. Android S2. Only see the left most 1/3 of photos

edit: rotating doesn't change it.

This is the old wrx seat thread.

Photo links are dead now except someone has resurrected a couple at the bottom there.

Was up there a couple weeks back. Still shut up. Theres bigger signs now about private property and camera surveillance yada yada. Unsure about the roads status or if the adjoining farms ever successfully had the road "stopped". DB might have had a follow up. Still a game hunting operation...

I thought there were a couple models and you needed the right one but theres lotsa options for the alt upgrade if you don't go ford. If someone doesn't confirm on here check out auszookers. My waterpump and alt are on one lane on the pulley and powersteer on the other. http://i280.photobucket.com/al...

Swamped

I had to drill the alt bracket to suit the bigger bolt. Also had to alter the adjuster bracket to allow for the bigger diameter alternator. All pretty minor stuff really. Ran a heavier cable to the battery and cut and adapted the plug for the alt. I was doing it on an sj so had to dick around swappi...

I have an isolator that looks like this. It does 450a continuous and something ridiculous for short periods. Has a proper key rather than the silly plastic things you often see so would hopefully help prevent a theft.. http://www.thetoolboxshop.com/user/products/large/0-605-61-battery-isolator-001.j...

I struggled to find someone in Hamilton and the pricing all up was gonna be comparable to running an aftermarket gearset. I went with new gears. Lilpig won't put you wrong though if you continue with a rocklobster.

Aluminium places could be better if you looked to run an ali grill. Up here we have ullrich ali that I've gotten grill mesh from before and it was way cheaper than that.

Swamped

And likely because theres more downhill in that direction. I can't find the one way thing now but yeah read it on fishnhunt ages ago so could be BS. We have taken quads in from both ends, we just don't crank along at full speed.

Swamped

I think most mt bikers and other users start at the other end. Its listed as a one way track from kapoors road on the doc website but other sites say "generally one way". Just don't wanna have a head on with someone else on the track.

Swamped

Pretty sure that is just the acc levy component so there will still be the licencing fee and gst plus whatever other stupid charges they can invent. I think when the anouncement first came out average drops were like 40% which isn't bad. Based on the age brackets on vehicles does the acc levy reflec...

I've got full rebuild kits from lowrangeoffroad in the past. Came with the crush tube. Pretty easy job so long as you have the manual and access to a torque wrench, dti and a fish gauge. There are install instructions online that list re-using the crush tube but for what its worth and the hassles it...

I've sold a few at work ResQlink and RescueMe models. Both are popular, ACR a bit more than the other...Prices have been around 500 I think. I think the ACR currently has a $50 cash back deal and comes with a strobe and reasonably large first aid kit depending where you buy it. RescueMe is smaller t...

A400 is more than you wanna spend new and I'd be wary of a demo having seen how many shells go through one before they sell it off...also warranty?? If buying new I'd go Benelli M2, again a couple hundy above your budget though. Browning Maxus is also a good gun and i think around your budget. Avail...
