As most have said, you can do it, but it's a fair amount of work for what could be little gain. I watched a mate build his own manifold for his GQ turbo set up. He didn't go as far as tuned lengths because there is almost no space under a GQ bonnet. Granted it took him about 3 weeks of arvos and ...

I've got a Twin Tongue compressor and a 6L tank. The tank is a converted fire ext (5kg), it's just a shade narrower than the chassis rail of our Cruiser. Plenty of space down the sides of the rails. http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a22/lisa76/BEU77Y/ResizeofPICT0010-1.jpg The tank is big enough to ...

2" lift and 285's should help out. 305's are the same diameter just a bit wider which may help out on sand. AT's or even HT's are better for sand than mud tyres. The flatter the tread pattern the better they'll float on the sand. If you want to stop the spare from hitting get yourself a splittie or ...

The 100 series landcruiser doesn't have dual batteries in the usual sense, They are a pair of batteries, linked together permanently to effectively give one bigger battery. My 105 only had 1 battery. Did the factory turbos come with paired batteries or what? I'm pretty sure the 200 series diesels ...

I think you'll find the gauge is trying to go into negative (vacuum) territory. Our Cruiser used to do the same thing. After improving the air intake piping it stopped doing it. If you've got any way of getting the motor to breathe better, K&N, bigger pipes etc, try that.... or a fully sik boost ...

Thanks for the info Daniel. A little history. This locker was in the front of my part time 80 1HZ N/A. It got a bit of use but not lots. I sold my old car to a mate after it sat around for a year or so. I plan on fitting this centre to our 105. It has an aftermarket turbo and intercooler on it, but ...

Most lifting gear shop should have decent chain. Herc Alloy lifting chain is bloody hard to get through with bolt cutters. Anything thicker than about 10mm. Comes in nice yellow paint just to make it stand out. I knock up this to discourage light fingered people. http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a22 ...

It was setup by a trusted 4wd mechanic. Looking closely it's more of a design fault. The bolt backing ring is very thin where the bolts go through and has no definite locking position. It's able to move around hence putting it off centre. I'm looking at machining up a new bolting ring or swapping to ...

ARB air locker internal wear....
Hi all, Not sure if anybody out there will have dismantled an air locker.... I've finally got the front locker out of my old 80 so I can fit it into our 105. I have dismanlted the diff and removed the ring gear. I was checking everthing out to see if I need to change any seals while it's apart, and ...

I've got 2" Kings in our 105. They were in my 80 before that. I've found them really good with the Rancho adjustables. I think the backs have sagged just a bit but I did do a few heavily loaded holidays on them. I've got a second set of rears that are heavy duty. Takes about 30mins to change them ...

This is something that's been bugging me for a while too. I've got an in cab kit but it's not fitted yet. I'm also running a Twin Tongue compressor. However, I've just this morning cobbled together a few parts to check the pressures. I'm amazed. 1 - 20psi 2 - 40psi 3 - 60psi 4 - 80psi 5 - 100psi ...

I've used a 4.5kg fire ext. Works out to about 5-6L capacity. I'm pretty sure the guage that was on it read up to 150psi or so. Different sorts of extinguishers might have different ratings. The other handy thing about them is the size. 140mm dia. My chassis rail is 150mm. Sits alongside the chassis ...

The Twin Tongue is the big brother of the Blue Tongue. You can get them from Opposite Lock shops. The Blue Tongue puts out 45l/min and the Twin pumps 84l/min. The Twin does however pull 32 amps flat out, so a decent circuit is needed to run it. I paid about $700 about 6 years ago. I think the Blue ...

We've got a Twin Tongue under the bonnet. Built to last and run continuously. Is switched at 100psi hooked up to a 4.5kg Fire extinguisher as tank. Inlet is plumbed from the air cleaner. Also has a small set of Truck Horns tucked under the bullbar.... beep beep it is not. http://i8.photobucket.com ...

100 Series cruiser electrics issue
Firstly, I can answer part of my own question, in that this only happens when we have rain. So I know something is getting wet and making the circuitry crazy. We don't even have to get alot of rain, just a mm or two will do it. First off, the air horns go off of their own accord and don't stop until ...

I drive Mickey Thompson ATZ's on my 100 series and couldn't be happier with them. When we purchased it, it was running H/T's and swapped ATZ's onto it asap. There has been very little difference in fuel consumption and noise. They feel really good on the road, and seem to stick like the proverbial ...
