Got a pic of the hub without wheel on?

For all 6 nuts to be loose-stretched-stripped-whatever is a bit hard to swallow- I wouldnt mind betting that the wheel wasnt sitting properly on the hub, which meant u tightened the nuts to the wheel but the wheel wasnt hard up!

Ok, i got the lowdown. U can make the fuel, but u can not sell it. If u sell it, then the gov wont get their excise and gst. And also i was told they have a low Ct of 42, which is the aus standard, while fuel companies are around 62.

Ive used argon as sheilding gas and works perfectly fine, it is actually next best to stainsheild. u can make it work with what u have got. it is just a matter of set up.

Hilux power steering- i think i may need it.

Well my new 1984 hilux doesnt have power steering. As i am getting new wheels soon i think i may need it :? . Is it possible to attach it on easily or is it a bit complicated. Also does someone happen to have a complete setup.

Im making a turbo manifold for mine. it will crap on the factory rubbish as that is all they are, bolted onto standard manifolds. Also think about the air condition pipes, on the turbo models they route a bit different. You wont need to touch the bearings unless u go over 7/8psi. but i would anyway ...

All gxl's came out with 8 seats. While the standard came out with 5 seats and barn doors. but apparantly the std has the holes for the extra seats, but then u would want the 50/50 split middle seats etc.
