Have you tried doing a search on youtube?

I recall seeing a video of a guy doing this to a GQ with very detailed instructions.

Worth a try.

Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a brake specialist in Perth's North?

I've bought a Patrol and so have to sell the Toyota HJ75, but need to get the brakes fixed first.

I...

Kamaz trucks are brilliant. They'll go places that most Patrols wont.

Try a YouTube search.

Hi, I'm looking for some feedback and advice......

I'm considering buying an off road mapping/gps application for use on my iPad mini.

I have the tomtom app for around town, but want one...

And some words to make up the numbers

2001 coil/leaf TD42T Ute.

One Z503 and one Z416.

The research I've done indicates that early models were both the same and then for a short period around 2001 they used two different oil...

I'll second that. I used to subscribe, but don't any more as the magazine is now nothing more than a means of advertising for their pet brands.

I had one for a couple of years and found it fine for general use. Never had a problem

I found that on the sand you had to get the revs up enough for the turbo to kick in for it to work well,...

Roady,

My wife took a couple of snaps of the spare wheel carrier.

I should explain that the ute is a new purchase and the carrier came with it as is. I do aim to clean it up and give it a lick...

There is also the 4x4 area at Lancelin.

Not a track as such but good for a hoon up and down the dunes.

Working FIFO and being stuck on a remote construction site for the next couple of weeks I managed to score one from ebay.

Macca,

Many thanks for that.

All the best

Macca,

Many thanks for that. Much appreciated.

Aha,

I'm new here, so this is the first time that I'd seen the magazine and as it's November.............................

Still a good read though.

Maybe it could become a biannual...

Great magazine.

It's refreshing to see a publication that gives excellent information without every article being a thinly disguised plug for a 4x4 equipment retailer/manufacturer.

Many thanks.

Probably too late, but my ute came with a second Reese hitch welded on at the back and a simple spare holder fabricated that slots in to it.

A bit of a pain if you want to get in via the back of...

This looks really good.

I'm going to stick with a canvas canopy, but want to incorporate some storage drawers and fridge slides etc. So this has been some great inspiration.

I really like the...

Ute is new to me but as far as I can tell it's the original engine.

Hi,

Just curious as to how many kilometers people are getting out of their Patrol engines.

I realise that there are a lot of variables such as engine type; servicing intervals; and driving...

Gents,

The tray is apparently 2200 long (I haven't measured it) so 200mm shorter than standard.

The chassis is standard length, so I'd guess that as the cab extension is about 300mm, then there...

Threedogs,

Thanks for the interest.

I don't think that I'll bother with coils in the rear. Having come from an HJ75 with very heavy leaf springs all around, the leaf/coil GU is like a limo in...

Limited pics so far, but will keep adding as I do more work.

Macca,

I have the same connection and so am going to try and find the same adaptor as you used. I don't suppose that you can remember the thread size that screws into the thermostat housing?

Or...

Thanks guys.

She's done 375,000 kilometres, so getting on a little, but drives well.

The gearbox has been reconditioned recently, so that's all good and apparently fitted with an upgraded fifth...

Just a quick post to show off my new (to me) ute.

2001 GU Extra Cab TD42T.

It's an extended cab chassis rather than a cut down wagon and so has coil front and leaf rear.
