thanks for that tree bruiser.

By the way what sort of fuel ecomony are you getting from your 76 series? I've only done 1200 km (both country and city) and I'm so far averaging 10.5 lt per 100km which in my book is outstanding

With that sort of economy you must be driving it like a lady with no ...

It is a jeep just didn't recognise it as its not on fire !!!!!! Can one of the mods please pull this from the "WILD 40" thread as it clearly does "NOT" belong.

There is no point buying the centres from Toyota, as the housings are different for the fctory lockers to standard.

You would be better off buying 80 series factory locked diffs and cutting off the bracketry and retro-fitting to yours.

Ben

They are electrically actuated, running on vacume pressure solinoides.

i have them in my GXL ute and they shit all over my old ailrockers in my previous vehicles.

Good points:
Never not work, no excessive time delay when you turn them on, no diff oil smell from compressor, well protected on ...

I was the first one to purchase a V8 ute from ferntreegully Toyota, in vic.
I bought it October 2007 and it now has 80,000 km and hasn't missed a beat. i tow a 2.5 tonne tool trailer with it just about every day and it craps on pretty much anything other than a chev or a f100 as far as towing goes ...

I did a radius arm flip on my 75 series with 80 diffs, i just bought a set of castor correction plates bolted them to the arms set the castor and pinion angle and welded them to the diff, i was able to use the old leaf spring hangers on the chassi end and bolt the arms straight in with a small ...

What ever you do with your side steps/sliders, please for everyones sake don't attach them to your vehicle with "POP RIVETS"

Ben

Paul,

Maybe spend more time working on your shit alloy winch setup than commenting on this shit, get out in the shed and get to work.

Ben

You may aswell go and buy some Thornbirds if you want that style of tyre.

Or maybe some mt117's, seriously though stick with either the claws, or just get some swamper sx's

Ben

Me3,

Are you responsable for this too??????



Maybe have a little read of this before the next attempt..........

If we're comparing aluminium to steel, it's probably worth noting that aluminium's fatigue performance is less than 50% that of steel.

Obviously this is a pro-steel site so make of it what you will.

Alloy bars are for trucks

love how the hawse is bolted on but the mount is pot riveted.

No they are only bolt heads to save on weight the thread has been cut off as its too heavy, and he used some pva glue (due to its lightness) to hold the alloy hawse to the chequerplate whcih does kinda resemble the inside of an old ...

I have read some of your other "Meanderings" as you put it i have have generally thought you have done your homework and calculations on your projects, but on this one you have proved me wrong.

The channel you bought is called a PFC (Parrallel flanged channel) it should of atleast been T5 or higher ...

I have an asus eeepc there 8gig harddrive, i use it for doing quotes and invoices on the move, they don't have a cd drive you have to use an external usb type device i have 2 other mates that have them and they have theres set up primarily for GPS capabilites, and they are cheap mine cost $475

I'm preparing to make comp truck trailers to hire. Just wondering how much interest there is out there in doing this? Any suggestions are welcome.

They should be banned, all comp trucks should have to drive too and if possible from the event if they have leaf springs!!!!

At least for winch ...

Articulation/flex does not equate to go offroad abilty very often, you live in melbourne, there is sweet F all rock around to drive on the amount of flex you are getting now is more than enough, get some lockers and forget about trying to make it flex like it has a "A" frame or coils or whatever ...

STOOPID LEAF SPRINGS ARE LIMITING YOUR FLEX!!!!

If the 40 series cab is complete and in good condition i would pay $1000 for it, no more. as for the gu chassi its realistically worth around $3000 max

Funny thing is that your vehicles ganerally are just for decoration (i think it's 2 years in his shed so far )

Your vehicle is not far behind now as far as time in the shed goes!

Are you fitting them to the car in ya avatar? cos they will look "ACE" on the roof.
