in a tech sence a perfectly tuned carb will give you as much power as injection

Unless your nose is pointing uphill and there aint no fuel in the carb.... just lots of wheezing and spluttering.
Or is that just me in the morning......????

I beg to differ

[vvega]

please no begging in this threed

thats just you in the morning dude

will run fine on big angles when modified correctly and when you flop over it doesnt matter if it stalls really when its on its lid

after the easter weekend trip i was totaly gutted at how useless the front end was without a locker so...

it got the treatment today, my longfield super set arrived from SNR and got my paws on a 2nd hand A.R.B front air locker and compressor,wireing,switches etc and set to it this morning and its all in and working now

no pics as i was too busy getting it all in and working

now im just waiting on the cert plate and then that will end the build

I've heard that. But I've heard there's better ex the states to.
So if $$$ isn't an issue there is nothing on the planet better?
Sorry for the spam, ignorance is bliss.

[wopass]

as far as im aware the longfields are as good as it gets, and they are ex USA just via SNR (cheers Jaffa) so i have local comeback should anything fail as they are garunteed for life

[petefj40]

That's what I like to hear.

Cheers!

[wopass]

[vvega]

do you want arb bling or do you want the same switch with no labeling
i have a few here ... SPST .. its just to supply power for your compressor ?? there 20 amp rated and look identical... even have the light in them
rrp is $80 a switch i can do you a brand new one for $40 still in its box .. have it here even ... have relays and relay holders as well $6 bucks for a brand new SPDT relay 30amp rated and $6 bucks for a holder pre terminated of with open clips
all bought today ....
99% sure you wont be able to just buy the cover ... looked into that this week as well

[wopass]

i just want the switch cover dude, it works fine, just needs the cover bit to look better

[vvega]

kk ill talk to steve on tuesday .. pritty sure he has a few that the internals dont work on .. could possibly scavange one of them for free

[petefj40]

Talk nicely to BADNUZ (Euan) He's the guy at ARB HQ.

But if you have no luck there wopass i have a spare ARB switch. But it's labeled, "Rear Air Locker".

[skid]

PM Badnuz

I'm fairly sure they only like 10 bux or some thing similar

[Sadam_Husain]

PM Badnuz

I'm fairly sure they only like 10 bux or some thing similar

Yep x2

I brought a replacement switch (without cover ) from autokraft about 18 months ago and it was about 8 or 12 bucks or something like that..... maybe the covers the expensive part....???

[petefj40]

PM Badnuz

Euan's a good bloke. i'm sure he'd sort you out something.

[wopass]

ok so a bit late but...

thanks Euan for the switch cover looks so much better

and onto the next thing, mounting my spare...

so this is where its at now and how im planning on having it mounted so i can access the recovery gear box in the back.it also leaves me with full rear view out the back which is handy when i have to tow someone


just strapped in for the moment untill ive confirmed that its going to work, then ill make a permanent mount there for it






ohh and a couple of pics from easter weekend cos i found them in my album pics just dont do flex justice, was waaay cooler in person

[MNC]

Lovin those last 3 shots... PS your rear tray is tiny dude tiny

[wopass]

your rear tray is tiny dude tiny

yea i know...had to have something small

[wopass]

ok so i went and stole some steel mesh off pete tonight, came home and cut it up and fitted it so thats done, will put up pics tomorrow night.

finished the battery iso switch off so thats done

and going to have the spare strapped in same as the above pics for the RWC so i can see if its going to be sweet before i make a permanent braket off the cage to mount it to.

and the missile was in the readers rides of 4WD TV tonight on sky

except Simon claims that Pete and Sez owned and built it ...when did that happen!!!

Yea i watched it on the box, the truck looks awesome in action and Simon said Peter and Sarah from hamilton,NZ owned it.

[wopass]

i was at pete nad sez'z place last night and pete got a call from XJ saying he just saw it and we had a watch on the dvd that they had the episode on, was choice seeing my bus in the readers rides but a bummer that i dont aparently own it

ahh well, we all know the truth eh

kinda funny tho cos i gave Simon all the info on it at the Northland W/C and he had my details there as well...bloody ozzys

[monstr]

Dont worry about it to much Ben mines on there in a couple of weeks and it will more than likely have you as the owner /driver and its a "Bloody Nissan"

[wopass]

hey at least then i would have finished the northland comp if i was in your truck eh!!

anywho, pics of my cargo barrier... not terribly exciting but gotta show and tell





and ive swapped the drivers side rear coil out for one of the bigger king springs that i have as it had a major lean on that side with the spare and fuel tank etc all on the same side but it sits level now so all good, just wont be as supple on that corner but will take the extra weight...looks a bit odd as well with different sized coils but who gives a shit if it works
