First thing is to find a place that can do a proper alinement. Then to decide on what tyre to run.
I don't want to go to a place and hear, your got a lift we can't do a alinement, or its a patrol you cant adjust both sides. If I need to replace or add something, that's fine. I just don't want to be bullshit!ted to.
So where should I go.
Your going to love those gears jay see. They'll be your favourite mod I bet.Quote:

Due for tyres and I might sell the 35s and just run one set. I want the tyres to perform well off-road and still have life on the black stuff.
Biggest issue I have atm is to find a shop that can do a proper alinement.
Would rather go to somewhere recommend.
Pro axle in campbellfield is where i go. As for tyres, i would recommend the BFG muddies. They arent noisy, awesome off road and last long on the black top.

Thanks mate will check them out.
Yeah mate BFG KM2 all the way. Tick every box you need. Quiet, heaps of grip on the road and I look like I'll get quite a few Ks out of them yet. Fantastic tyre on the rocks and pretty good in the mud too.Quote:

Go see Andrew @ On Track he works on Patrols every day of the weekQuote:

Very little he doesnt know about Patrols
Cheers guys.
The km2 M/T is what your talking about yeah?
Ive heard good things from these, but what else do people run. Was thinking of coppers, but after BAs trouble maybe not. Federals, Mickey's anyone tried Achilles?
Nittos or toyos.
I'm pulling out the radiator next week to replace the top tank, while mucking around in the shed I found a couple of temp gauges.
Attachment 63835
Attachment 63836
Problem is that I could only find one sender.
I tried to test by running a wire from the gauge to the sender and dripping the sender in a pot of boiling water. Nothing.
Is there any other way to test before I go and buy a new one.
When putting in a top hose adapter for a temp gauge what is the best position to have the sender. Wouldn't it be more accurate if the sender was facing down.
Would prefer to drill and tap into the housing, has any done this with a tb45?
Attachment 63901
Can anyone tell me what is this, can it be removed?
I know the td42 runs the temp sensor and the glow plug water temp from the thermostat housing, it's to shut the glows off once engine temp is up to a set amount..
Does the tb have a "choke" on it?? Maybe a similar situation?
Cant you run an Ecu-Talk instead of running guages ??
I worked out that it's the ECU temp sender. Found a thread here from 2012.Quote:

Need to look into it a bit more.
Still would like to know where ppl have drill and tapped into the thermostat housing, or if they run the adapter with the sender facing down.
Would this work. Can run both factory and aftermarket sender, both before the thermostat.

Would there be enough room for the coolant to freely move around?
There will be no problem fitting a tee I done it for my oil pressure gauge as well go check your local hosemasters,pertek or EnzedQuote:
