VVILLY TONKA-KZN185
Right here i go in one weeks time my truck will be going under the knife and having a bit of work done to it...
For a start she is a 1997 KZN185 inter-cooled Surf ssrx. plans are;
1 Fitting a KZJ78 solid front end, five link with fox shocks and coil overs.
2 Removing current transmission, transfer case and fitting i think its a 30-43le out of a KZN 130.
3 Removing the rear 185 surf diff assembly and fitting KZJ90-95 (disc Brakes), fox shocks and coils with extended link arms to suit.
4 Front and rear bars, snorkle as well as rock sliders.
5 Remove the ABS and Airbags.
6 35" Maxxis Bighorn 762's
And a couple other goodies on the way

international law on air bags states 10 years, but NZ its 14. this is why i went with 1997. as for the ABS i can remove it for cert.
all signs and labeling i.e dash lights and dash imprints have to to be removed or covered so that there is no presumption that the vehicle has it still fitted.
so she will be road legal

Re: VVILLY TONKA-KZN185
ive seen on some vehicles that have had abs and airbags removed tha certifier puts a sticker on the gauge cluster to say it has been removed
so maybe that is an option? not sure if that can still be done etc
oh yeah sounds like an awesome build good luck

Awesome will be watching this with interest as I'd like to go down this road sometime. Wondering why you are gonna remove abs completely? Couldn't you just make a switch so you can turn it off while driving?

Re: VVILLY TONKA-KZN185
Its going to be a cool build man ,will be watchin
Re: VVILLY TONKA-KZN185
Just to let you all know from the start i will not be doing it all by myself, Rick 4WD accessories will be doing most of it, and i will be doing what i can to get the cost down.
It will help me learn more and understand all of the s&*t ya dont see.

Good to meet you in the weekend bud, best of luck with the build and learning! There is always time for learning and plenty to learn when it comes to modifying.

Re: VVILLY TONKA-KZN185
so today i stripped the diffs and degreased them ready for the plasma on Monday
and then cracked the transfercase of the transmission and it pissed out shitloads of water so not risking it.... anyone got a spare 1kz transfercase out of a kzn130

You and me have kept Rick in a job over the years. Good old, "deep pockets" aye.
Good luck with the new build.
Looking forward to ORE's, "subscribing to threads" to come alive again.

It's still good to get advice from others that have already done it aye.
Wish I had of got more advice before doing some of the things on my old 40. Could of saved lots of $$$.
Re: VVILLY TONKA-KZN185
well today Rick and i went out and brought a plasma/ tig AC/DC combo.
Once set up and sorting out the 20 amp plug off i went.
Cut all the brackets of the front diff housing and ground back all the left over welds. Also removed the top panhard mount off the kzj78 chassie.
Doesn't sound like much but bloody hell its time consuming
