Nice looking bar mate, hope to build one similar when i get the time. Hopefully a similar design will work around the pto.
Myth Busters did the egg test and it worked. A few friends that are mechanics don't like that stop leaks as they feel the unused particles are just going to block passageways somewhere else in the...
I've got tough dog springs in mine and can't fault them. I didn't run their shocks though
Lot of knowledge and useful info on here mate, have been scrolling through the last couple of months and found an answer to most things.
Cheers guys, was having a closer look and when I moved the loom it completely pulled the two wires out of the plug. I mite be able to solder them back together, it doesn't matter which way round as...
Theres no other gauges in the car. Doubt there ever had been. Have owned it about a year but has had minimal use as was in an accident. The wires for it just ran back into the loom where the temp...
Hey there, was having a look around on my 88 TD42 GQ and noticed a sensor in the thermostat housing was looking a bit worse for wear. It's the one closest in the pic with the plug. I know the other...
A good read, cheers mate.
Essentially just a bar over the end of a ratchet to reduce the force required. One way to do it with spanners that have an open end and a ring end is to place the ring end over the nut/bolt, and then...
Cheers Ben, I think my front should be ok with the front heavies. It's 24volt so the batteries won't be changing and neither would the PTO winch or bar work.
It's just the rear that got me...
Cheers Ben and Lewy. I think I'll go with the pro comps for now as they are cheap and being a student that means alot. In regards to the flexing ben, would I have to have weight in the rear with the...
Hey guys, have purchased some 4" tough dog coils for my 89 GQ LWB Safari. In the front I'm running heavies to suit the PTO winch and bumper. However I haven't been able to decide between...
Cheers guys, nice to know it won't break the bank too much :D
I've always used tape and a wet finger, it can be a pain trying to get the tape parallel to the edge sometimes however. Next time I'll have to try the paddlepop stick though.
Hey mate, been cruising round the forums for the last few weeks and there's alot of knowledge and useful info on here, should have not trouble learning about your new truck.
Yeh my mate just had a look and turns out your right, oh well 1 piece glass for me then.
Hey guys, need to replace one of the rear sliding windows in my LWB Y60 and was wondering if anyone has used the SWB glass instead, have some lying around so thought I'd try before buying one? I Know...
Is the fuel pump and injectors the most likely cause for black smoke? I've recond the injectors so will be looking at servicing the pump. How much should I be looking at for just that?
Cheers guys.
A bit of heat and swinging off the shaft with a pipe wrench and I heard a relieving crack, a bit more penetrant and a few more turns and it came right off. For the rear I might need to take the whole...
Hey guys, in removing the PTO winch off the front off my truck for repairs I attempted to seperate the driveshaft at the front shear pin. It was siezed pretty solid so I wrapped the winch rope...
Cheers guys, I've done a bit of trail riding so the terrain and landscape won't phase me. Just getting a 2.5 tonne truck up a hill that usually I'd be doing on a 100kg bike will be a bit different,...
Cheers guys, the front windscreen was smashed and also the rear right sliding window from where the jack flew through it. The radiator support panel and inner wheel gaurd were badly bent and had to...
Hey guys, new member here, just introducing myself. Names Brad and I've got a 88 4.2 diesel high roof Safari. Inherited off a mate before he went overseas, but not before he managed to drive it off a...
