My brother in law just purchased a new ford ranger and was looking at purchasing an aggressive all terrain type, and I recalled you had something similar and we're happy with them? Cheers

I've got the Mickey Thompsons ATZ P3's mate. They are aggressive for an all terrain and i'm super impressed with them. Noiseless on the road but keeps up in the dirt no dramas. Had them on both my Patrols. Super happy.
They now also have the Mud terrain P3's which are even more aggressive then mine.

So after long procrastination she will be booked in for a clutch next week or week after.
Few things on my mind though so, a question for the experts, as I really don't know.
@nissannewby
While everything is apart, what else should I be looking at getting done ?
I'm reading everything from a main seal, welsh plugs, spigot, to a complete hydraulic slave and master assembly? Would these need to be done when the car has just clicked 100k ?
I read somewhere the rear main seal can be real sensitive, and if one that's in good order is disturbed or replaced, it can leak after a while... more headaches then needed. Sometimes its best to leave it.
Remember a while ago when I thought it was leaking and in the end it wasnt.... lol
Flywheel machined ? Is this something that get's done anyway while it's apart, or do they look at it and then determine whether it needs doing or not ?
The thing is, I don't even know whether my current factory clutch is farked or not, I'm sure you've read my "possible" symptoms earlier in this thread.
So I'm throwing $ at it in a gamble, that it is farked, and last thing I need is to spend even more $$$ on other things which would be perfectly fine @ 100k. If they last me another 100k, I'd i'll die a happy man.
Sorry for the long winded post, but I really want to get this one correct as it's not a cheap exercise, especially when I'm getting it replaced as a "hunch" that it is possibly farked.
@mudski
You had the spigot assembly when I bought the clutch of you didn't you? Still have it for sale ?

I would at least do rear main seal, spigot bush and sump gasket. The sump gasket because it will be disturbed when doing the reat main. I have always done these when doing the clutch.
You should have a new throwout bearing and spiggot bush in the clutch kit.
The flywheel should be machined. It gives the new clutch plate a nice surface to bed into. Similar to honing a cylinder when new rings are installed.

The master farter
Your is fwrked mate. When i tried it, it was grabbing right at the end of the pedal, right at the end.
I wouldn't bother with the hydraulic side of things, but do everything else as Mat has mentioned. And which spigot are you talking about?

Remember when I bought the clutch off you, you had a spigot assembly ( I think it was ) you offered and I said I won't need it lol.

When I did mine this is exactly what I replaced. Didn't worry about welch plugs etc. Maybe if it had 300k+ on it. Mine was @ about 150k.
