Just because I am working on the Landrover doesn't mean I have stopped using the Hilux

Hi Al
It is good to see you are still interested in tracks on this side of the ditch. You will have come over for to come over for a birthday bash at Reefton

That Video was after the big dump. The big dump didn't damage the Chasm much at all.

Have you bought a truck over there yet ?

All the best Richard

Hopefully I have fix my supercharger pulley that broke at Reefton.

I have modified it by making it one unit now with the power steer pulley with epoxy resin which should make it a lot stronger

Hi Bolo

No it is only a 50inch hi-lift. Everything is exactly as you saw it when we were talking at Rallywoods when I was changing the tyres.

Sometimes I use the side bars to lift it if the ground is uneven.

My latest mod is about to happen. The hilux bolts holding the nugget are 8mm and they are too small for tough 4 wheeling so I am going to drill them out and go to 10mm high tensile bolts to hold the housing better.

My PZ70 diff in the front has a miles stronger housing compared to a Hilux

For ages I have had a bent housing that leaks oil

Image

10mm bolts holding everything together will be miles stronger. I have wiped the oil off at the moment so the photo looks clean.

We have just spent a couple of days fitting new yukon R&P with the latest ARB lockers and solid spacers front and Back to Andy Jacksons hilux in preparation for our Xmas Reefton Trip

Spent the day getting ready for our Reefton trip

Pulled the winch to pieces and cleaned all the contacts. I then fitted the protection armour for the lights.

Tomorrow I will change onto the Simex tyres and secure the chainsaw

starting to look like a 4 wheel drive again

Good to see the Toyota getting some attention be careful the Land Rovers don't get jealous, have a good time and merry Christmas to you and Janet and remember to take all the Whit worth Spanners and Sockets out of your tool box they won't be any use on the TOYOTA, mind you ---

BEING A TOYOTA YOU WON'T NEED ANY TOOLS ---- :shock: :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yes they are no good at night but they are only held with 2 8mm bolts so they can be removed in a couple of minutes.

They are made from the high tensile mesh used in gravel crushers and are secured with 10mm dowels so the bolts don't need to be strong.

Before I had them I would break the flasher lights every trip so they have saved me lots of money
