What exactly is needed for this? Just the calipers and backing plate? Then get some new bigger rotors?

[threedogs]

The rotors are only 24mm bigger arent they, will that give better brake efficiency
4.8s are 330mm compared to 306mm
will 16 x 8 rims fit ???

Sent from my SM-G925I using Tapatalk
You can just use calipers and even no backing plate. As some have done so. But if one is going to do an upgrade. Do teh lot I reckon. :D So you need...


Calipers
Backing plates
Pads ( all the aftermarket mobs sell the same part number for the ZD pads to the TB pads. Even though there is a physical difference in pad size) So I opted for Genuine Pads for the first time around.
Master Cylinder

I was extremely lucky with the calipers. I wasnt even looking for them as I had hunted earlier for them and all said good luck if you can find them, and if you do they will be around $600-$700 a pair. Second Hand! Woah!So this quickly extinguished my thoughts on it. But I had rung a wreckers up north for something else and I just asked out of the blue if they had them and how much. He said yeah I do and they are $270. For the pair with freight! So I whipped out the credit card and bought them.
Got hem home stripped them, rebuilt them with two new pistons too. as two of the four had a little pitting from rust.
Now they are brand new again.

The rotors are only 24mm bigger arent they, will that give better brake efficiency
4.8s are 330mm compared to 306mm
will 16 x 8 rims fit ???
Nah they are 10mm bigger. 306mm to 316mm. But its not the rotor size its the caliper piston size (48.1mm to 51.1mm) and master cylinder piston sizes aswell (25.4mm to 26.99mm) that all add up. All this, plus the braided lines I already have on there will be a big difference I would say. And 16 inch rims do fit as the early TB48 Patrols were on 16's.
I will rebuild the rear calipers to while I'm at it. I was trying to find a second hand set cheap enough so I could rebuild them and just do a swap over when its time. But I'm failing to find them. At the right price.

How many watts of panel?
I assume you want a 'permanent' Reg on the vehicle you just plug the Solar panel lead into?

If it was me... Get a high ambient temp rated reg with no LCD such as http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Morningstar-Sunsaver-10A-12V-Solar-Panel-Regulator-Charge-Controller-/301644163349?hash=item463b64a915:g:JZsAAOSwLzdWSbs r
Mount it on the front member, say near the LH Headlamp
Those Morningstars are extremely reliable and rated to 65 deg ambient

I've got the Turbo 300 Plus in canvas and its 3x3 with another 2.4 ( I think) room out the back. Stacks of room in it for a family of 4. It's in canvas and is bloody heavy around 30kg. I certainly know all about chucking that mother up on the roof.

Awesome tents! I have the 4 man one I think (can't remember) ... The only gripe I've had with mine is how they pack away, and how much of a pain that can be when the tent is wet. Can get a bit awkward and messy. Otherwise I love it!

Learn how to use a bench grinder its very easy surprised you dont know how.
Was one of the first things I learnt back in the 70s lol. very handy skill to have,IMO

[MyGU8]

I used the bench grinder last when I was in uni (we do mechanical / electrical / and civil on the first two years). I can't recall how much safety was there, but the good thing was all the machines are very old and you got to see how they are operating compare to new fully covered machines.

Ah... those days....

Can use for car awnings or tent awnings in sand or just soft ground..
4" may be a bit over kill..

[mudski]

Nah its always dug into the corners. There for giving more body roll. I never liked it. The 03 models i think onwards went to a larger oem sway bay than mine, and yours. I was given some later radius arms, i didnt realise this at that time, but the sway bar mounts on the radius arms are different too. So i put new bushes in the arms, getting them ready for a change over, i change them over, then go to bolt up the sway bar and the bloody brackets dont match up.
So i had to get the later brackets to suit, then the bushes that suit the later brackets dont match. Ugh.
So i fabricated something up until i found the right bar. And one came my way, cheaper and better than OEM so im happy.
Id love to run the Superior Hybrib radius arms, much better setup than the Nissan style, and their Superflex bars, but thats 2k gone in arms and two bars.

Yeah nice. What's the chassis, is that a jayco item or custom. Looks real good. Think the first thing I'll do is wire wheel back the chassis and paint. Probably put a treg on at some stage. Also look at the spring / height and tyre combo. Was it hard putting it on the new chassis?
So I only removed the drawbar and springs..
The previous owner had the axle flipped and some dodge as hell spacers made up..
So I ran the 100x50x3 duragalv right threw, the welded the caravan sub frame to the top and the new springs under it..
I also put the new 50mm axle on top of the springs..
The springs are an out back eye to eye..
1.2T I went as I'm adding a a full size tool box to the front aswell as batteries etc inside..
I'll see if I can find more pics

Picked up a WiFi OBD2 scanner from Jaycar, got it for the boy Excel to find a U/S crank angle sensor.
Plugged it into the GU8 & it gives MAP, RPM, coolant temp, % load, MAF etc. all on my phone.
Might have to download (and pay) for a better app to go with it, the free one is a bit clunky.

@ Kallen are the new springs greasable??
Looks like you need a box that can double as a step
to get into the van, sits very nice too IMO

[BigRAWesty]

Not yet. On the to do..
They are self greasing bushes though so will do for short term
.
And yea need a second step. Unsure what our plan is yet. Still designing something as the genuine jayco one sits to low and many catch it when off road..
Also still looking for a tool box for the front..
That'll house the annex tarps, ground mat, foam squares, a bit of wood and Porta loo..

It's bloody nice atm..
Tows awesome.. probably a little stiff but I'll see how she is once done..
Once the 12v stuff is in I'll have no concern taking it most places.. with in reason..

An ecutalk

Full length roof rack. Just a cheap one but happy with it.
Be only used for swags, gazebo, camp chairs and instant up tent, light gear only that won't fit into the back.
