Pulled rear diff head out and replaced couple of broken studs. Put much more goo round the seal this time so hopefully it wont leak and then I wont break studs over-tightening it to stop the leak.

Did a Body lift on my hilux. Much better. Nothing rubs now.

Pulled front drums off my fj40 and stripped down knuckles just gotta clean everything up , what a messy job!! Then wait for all my new bits to arrive to put it back together with the disk brakes I'm getting off Jason (classic cruiser spares) looking forward to having breaks and piecing all the bits on my garage floor back together, need new steel brake line now tho after sharing the end off it I'm bloody good at taking things to bits n breaking them it's the putting back together I struggle with but wel worry bout that next weekend

Achieved didly squat this weekend while back is injured. Did manage to notice rust under rain gutters in the 60 series has come back with avengance!

Mhmm too many options to consider now:
A: Panel beater to cut out cancer.
B: Find a new roof.
C: Cut old roof off and convert to soft top..

Looks awesome, any chance of pics of your mounting points? Do you have a body lift? hoping to start mine in the next few months.......although I have said that before. I've spent the last few months cutting off my roof and putting a new(er) one on the safari, just finishing up some sanding and painting then onto the bar work.

Cheers, yep I'll take some photo's of the mounting points once I've finished welding them. That photo is a test fit with mounts tacked on.

No body lift, I did massage the sill lip inwards (no cutting) to give a bit more room but wasn't strictly necessary. It would be easier with a body lift but I don't plan on it.

i leave pinch weld alone,leave a gap of ten mm between box section an pinch weld for flex

Went up to Possum Palace with Andy3542, Lexlux and a few others which I dont think are on here... Had an awesome weekend setting tracks. Big thanks to those who came up and helped us.

Cant wait for the comp

Another awesome video, keep up the good work! Looks like you've found a great place for a winch comp.

Had a club trip at Mt Riley, had heaps of fun trying the winch challenge tracks. Also got strapped into this thing

great video.
Is the LSd working right on the v8 lux?, on the uphill winch piece it didn't seem to be engaging.
however it appeared it didn't slow him too much!

what if its got lockers and didn't have on then open diff.

He doesn't have an LSD, The air locker is broken so running a temporary open diff.
But your right it doesn't slow him down much!
