Has anyone got the 76 series? Can you give me any opinions on it around town, off road, towing e...

Hi All I need some advice about rear leaf springs on a BJ42. To cut a long story short for some reason the only springs that would fit are a set from the front of a 75 series. Due to the heavier load rating of springs the ride is very hard. Can I take a leaf from the springs to soften it up? If so, ...

Had a tjm T15 bar fitted to the prado. Took it for a long dive and there is a very loud rattle under the front section somewhere.

hi all

i own a patrol and want to get some black rims. i like the standard rims and have seen a few patrols that appear to have standard black rims. i can only assume they are powder coated or painted.
Has anyone done this if so what cost? how well do they keep their paint/powder coat?

I freeze mine before i go away and then leave it on about 2. it only cycles a few times a day then therefore not using battery.
I also bought a solar charger from BCF and and just have that hooked up to the second battery to trickle charge for those longer stays.

fish oil or lanolin in my opinion

Hey all I want to do something with the suspension in the old bj42. If you go over a bump you fly through the roof. I can't be bothered with a coil conversion, but wan to know my options for getting a better ride. Now the beast has been raised and the leafs are so stiff. Can i take a few out and get...

The old man called today indicating that my old BJ42 Glo plug indicator light is now not working and the plugs are not glowing. he called around a few wreckers and they only have one for a 45 series.
