My 4.2

Photos??????? ;-)


Tap, Tap.......Who's there?

Hey looks tidy 97, like the Turbo setup mate, got any more details on that?

saw your second battery setup. looks neat. Heads up though mate, the battery is bloody heavy! The ARB and Pirahna trays take the top strap over the battery and over the washer bottle and bolt up to the side panel! There is a threaded hole there from factory ;) This will take a heap of the weight of the battery off the counter leaver of the tray and relieve the inner guard of allot of the weight! They tend to crack the inner guard in the front of the arch under the air box ;)

Looks sweet mate, like the colour.

Another bloke that was with us took some videos i'll try and get a hold of them.


Heres a bit of a thread for my turbo install

we had a bit of a drag race yesterday a hilux and patrol gu turbo intercooled ute were racing so i give them a 20 meter head start then overtook both of them lol
the hilux lost out big time.

Yeah i made up supports for the battery bracket just noticed you can't see them in the pic but it is flat bar behind the water bottle then two side bars to the tray from that to support it.

Heres my attempt at a hole nobody else would try.

as soon as the front locker is in i am headed back into that hole it felt so close but yet so far lol

deep you check the depth first or just dive in????

Where was that at????? That reminds me of the drop zone, heapz of bog holes and some deep ones 2 :)

yeah it is at the drop zone i have been in it before lol but this time i thought i had it with the 35's and lift etc.
Last time it was just straight in and stuck solid.

Well today i thought i had better investigate the strange noise coming from the front of the engine i had put it down to the bearings in the tensioner or aircon pump.
Anyway rocking the fan i noticed excessive movement in the water pump and the tensioner bearing was shot and the smaller roller far bottom right facing the engine was also buggered.
Not too bad though $75 for a gates water pump locally and $15 for all 3 bearings from a bearing supplier.

Well today i thought i would reco my old alternator as it had been in the drink and had a quick cleanup once before i knew i was up for new bearings and brushes.
So i went to the local auto elec and got brushes for $10 and then off to the bearing supplier and got the two bearings and seal for $40 .
As i went to leave my starter motor crapped it called a mate up and we push started it .
luckily i had another one here i checked over quickly regreased and fitted up being a reduction starter it now starts easy as.
Pulled the old one apart to find it was full of water and crud damn water holes lol.

How does the high mount turbo set up treat you? Much better than standard?
