It's no surprise that most 4WD touring vehicles are overweight.

So you were 334kg over GVM anyway before putting anything on the towball.
I use 250kg towball weight so my penalty, using the Nissan sliding scale, is 400kg. This is why I got the 3550kg upgrade,...

Cleaning the valve body means to disassemble it so the various valves and passages can have any debris removed. It doesn't take much to cause a valve to stick if the trans hasn't had regular...

circuit breaker.. the ‘buttons’ are just the insulation that go onto the studs that the wires are bolted to.
It’s just a protection for the wire that feeds my DCDC charger.

Mark, to insulate the positive side I made a red acrylic cover with a heat gun. They just looked too easy to short circuit..

Radiator and shroud were taken out. Foam was protecting the A/C condenser but it was too thick so 2nd pic shows I replaced it with a thinner board.

These are pics of my TB45 coming out that show the front & rear eyelets for lifting. The engine leveller helps a lot.

If you look at the pressure reserve reservoir on the hydroboost unit it doesn't look like it would hold more than maybe 200 ml considering there's also a piston & spring in the cylinder and it should...

Sounds more like an electrical/resistance issue with the gauge. If they only had an oil pressure light like most cars they probably wouldn't have a problem at all.
You don't often hear about high...

I initially went with slotted DBA rotors and those grossly overpriced ECB Yellowstuff pads but still wasn't happy so I did the hydroboost and now I'm much more confident following others a little...

Still might be worth getting it onto a weighbridge with all the weight on the rear to see how your rear axle loading is without the WDH.
It's good to have knowledgeable friends but the weighbridge...

That would have been an essential mod even without the GVM upgrade. I used the Boss units for mine because the weld in stuff requires engineering.

The WOT position simulates the Power position on the console switch. It should hold onto gears a bit longer.
The idle position will cut out the TC lockup when you release the pedal so you don’t get...

The jack handle and the slotted wheel brace that acts as crank handle for the jack go under the 2nd row seats. The little tool bag (I got rid of mine a while ago) sat in beside the jack.

I recall this subject came up not long ago but I can’t find the pics I posted then. I found the neatest solution was through the vent but you have to remove the vent and from the inside drill through...
