I'm after a GU Series I-III spare wheel carrier from the large barn door. I will also need the studs/bolts that hold the wheel on.

Local Sydney wreckers are a joke, so I'm hoping someone on here...

Still looking for 2 spare wheel brackets/carriers/etc.

No wreckers in my local area prepared to offer the brackets for $10 - had quotes ranging from $50-120 for one :(

Also after 2 spare wheel brackets - the ones from the barn doors.

Pickup around Sydney, or between Sydney and Mackay in 6-8 weeks.

[Removed request for wheels - have found some locally]

My brother is currently building/modifying a camper trailer for me. Part of the goal is to match wheels & track to my GU Patrol (GU III ZD30 ST-L).

I am planning on running alloy wheels on the...

I had a fan on my IC and it helped at low speeds, but was a hinderance at high speeds.

Still toying with the idea of making a 1" spacer block up to fit between the factory scoop and bonnet, and...

I have some parts already, and now I need to hook it all up. Looking to do it all myself, but would like some guidance on the finer points.

I am looking to set up a second battery under the...

I had to pay back $5600 in tax a couple of years back (incorrect processing by our payroll company), and stretched it out over a year. I had to pay interest on it, but was able to claim all that...

Yup - big expedition for ~8-10 weeks. Starting in northern QLD, across NT to WA, then back down to the top of SA, back up through NSW/NT/QLD. A lot of it will be just 2-3 vehicles and need to be as...

Steel wheels can be beaten back into shape if damaged. When you're hundreds of Ks from the nearest town, that can be an advantage. It's all prep for a big trip I'm planning with my brother, where we...

$75ea for the tyres. $90ea fitted & balanced.

Each block that flew off caused a little more vibration, but when I lost the two next to each other it got quite bad at around 80-90km/h. Driving in...

Pics below.
Pic 1 is the two tread blocks that came off side-by-side. These came off within minutes of each other and caused some serious vibration in that tyre.

Pic 2 shows the location of the 4...

I needed some tyres for a trip away, and decided to take a gamble on the cheap retreads often advertised on eBay and Gumtree.

I bought a set of 5 x 265/75R16s on BF Goodrich cases (strong...

Got busy tonight:
2" lift installed (shocks, springs). Feels like I got way more than 2" of lift though - expect it will settle some, and the old suspension looked factory so had ~270,000kms on it...

+1 for the Transmax Z. Made a huge difference to my auto behind the ZD30.

I just drained, popped in & out of drive a couple of times (pumps out a bit more fluid) then refilled. Mine took ~4.5L,...

I'd be interested in where to get that scoop as well.

eBay link doesn't work for me. I'll assume you mean something like this: http://www.sidewinder.com.au/page159aa.html

They work by modifying the Alternator Sense signal so the alternator puts out a...

I have ordered a replacement cover for my positive terminal for exactly this reason. Metal watch bands can have similar results, and heat up extremely quickly. Leather or rubber is the only way for...

Just installed the second battery holder, and am getting ready to wire up the system.

Which way around do most people have the battery? Terminals closest to guard or motor? Positive to the front...

Everyone should have a handbrake, at least for a while...

Congrats, and the Cape sounds like an awesome spot for a honeymoon. Where is she going?

Discovered that I'm missing the wheel brace/jack handle for the factory jack. I have the long hook handle, it's just the cross piece (which seems to also be the wheel brace) that's missing.

Also...

Handed over $470 to get the alternator replaced. Still not sure what I did during the service to screw it up, but apparently was already on it's way out as the windings were shagged, and the earth...

2003 ST-L ZD30 - ~270,000kms and still going strong

Need to do the NADS on it at some stage.

I drilled my factory lights to take bulb holders, ran the loom for the reverse light across the rear sill, and tapped the lower lights for power. Total cost as about $50-60 and ~2 hours of drilling...
