Not much to update on the truck got a bit of a trip in last weekend see trip thread for some photos. But the old girls running like a dream it wanders a bit on the highway without swaybars but nothing crazy il be organizing my linkage replacement this week I think. Also discovered my 2 rear lower control arms are bent. So I should probably look at replacing them but for now they don't appear to be causing any drama.
Anyways here's a recent photo of the old girl still sporting 31s can't fault the old desert dueler it's a shame they don't make them in a 33. Yea I know BFG is pretty well the same and I am still trying to decide what to get for my next set.
Spoilt for choice iv come down to these options for 33s
-bfg At
- bighorn 762 or 764
-mtz
- 4 block atz
In 33s all good tyres but its just hard making my mind up haha
Quick update haven't had much time to play with the old Q of late but since I'm on holidays I better update this thread.
Scored some seats for free off a friend and fitted them with minimal mods I think they are just super heap racing seats all that was needed to fit was a piece of 25x25 rhs on the outside rail and a hole drilled in the inside rail to suit.
Also fitted my rear working lights. And have since discovered my pump leaking. After degreasing and finding the leak it appears to be leaking around the rear of the pump not sure if I should bother trying to fix it or just fork out the $1500 for a reco'd pump...... Any opinions would be great happy new year everyone.
Ordered my reconditioned injector pump today from the guys at MTQ. Hopefully have it Friday as they had no reconditioned units on the shelf ready to go.
In the mean time did a little flex test with the truck this its a 3" mates rates kit from SS with heavy duty king springs and No sway bars probably could have gone up another inch or 2 with the forklift then the rear wheel was off the deck and a little drive i went on at cape Jervis
Haven't updated this page in awhile but basically now running a Kinugawa 18g6 on a MSR manifold 3" mild steel exhaust. 12.5psi and top mount cooler with a zd30 air box and 4" snorkel. Also bolted some 33" maxxis AT980s (Bfg all terrain tread)
Did the conversion myself in the week I had off over Christmas and done about 15000ks on it since only drama Iv had was using the wrong exhaust manifold gaskets (carbon not stainless) and it blew out ports 1 and 6. Cut in between the ports on the MSR manifold and faced it and haven't had a problem since that was about 7-10000ks ago loving it.
Next upgrades will probably be some new LCAs and ADJ panhards
