I sold it to a bloke in newcastle about 6 years ago, very interested in if this is still around. I miss the old girl!!! It has tray sides, just not shown ...

Ekky and Sven, or ekky live down the road from me in Maryborough, I think its Sven single cab hilux style side has been sitting in the front yard for years and hasn't been driven, the goodyear tyres are that old they have turned white!! I think he has sold all his shorties as I have seen most of ...

We went up and watched over friday night and saturday and I must say we had a ball, I have been to alot of winch challenges in my time and found this one t be up there with the best. Well done Stirlo and team!!

Looking at doing the above to the 80, pads are buggered and screaming like a school girl, I have no dramas changing the pads but I have never changed disk rotors before, is this an easy task? my mechanical skills are limited. Also should I go 105 series pads for the front? brands? costs? cheers ...

Nah, have checked them out but the one I saw was different. I'll just keep looking!!

thanks anyway

I'am looking for a new bull bar for my 80 and have noticed a couple around that look like ARB bars but are buy another brand. The first one is the 80 series in a certain 4wd custom mag that comes out soon, the bar looks like a standard arb winch bar but has the new style ARB fog lights and ...

People are wanting and getting around the 20G mark for them still (late model 40th Aniv. diesel model that is). $8500 -$9500? Maybe for an early model petrol with 500,000k's on the clock or a nissan :-). It's interesting to see what sort of price people come up with!! Thanks for all the input, now I ...

That would cover the deposit!!

I'm looking at selling my 80 soon and was wanting to find out what sort of dollars they are worth these days. Spec's below: -1997 40th anniversary (grey colour) diesel - 280,000 (service docs a mum would be proud of) -3 inch suspension (6 months old) -TJM winch bar and rear swing away tyre carrier ...

What ever happened to Cruiser parks comp GU ute? I haven't seen it compete for awhile now.

I did the castor bushes when the lift went in so that side of things should be fine, might just put them in and see how they go.

thanks mate..

At the moment I have a 3 inch lift in my 80 series and i'm looking at putting in some 20mm coil spacers. Is this just an easy task or will there be other mods I would need to do to keep it nice to drive?

I have a full time 80 series and need some info on free wheeling hubs. Are they worth it? do they save on fuel costs? Any info would be great!!


cheers
Duncan

Yeh looking for something that will give me high K's but I still want some sort of aggressive tyre.

Anyone used these tyres before? would be good to hear some reports on how they go!!

Trying to decide what 4b to get next, has to be a dual cab ute but I really don't like IFS. Was thinking about a 100 series dual cab style side ute conversion, does anyone know what sort of $$$$ it would cost?? I know there was a bloke on here doing conversions on patrols just not sure if he does ...

No the drivers fine, it's the Badge on the front of the car that put him off!! Get me back in a toyota NOW!!!

If i were you mate i'd sell the Mav, I heard the old ower drove the crap out of it!

My fuel guage on my SWB Mav does not work properly, when i fill it up it the needle gets to 3/4 and stops and then drops to 1/4 after driving for about 50k's. It will then drop to empty but still have plenty of fuel left. What are my options? would it be something simple? Also the drivers side ...

So i have found out i can lift the GV up 40mm, i want to put some bigger rubber on (not too big). Plan is to lift it up, put some bigger meats on so the car doesn't bottom out on the tracks at fraser (have a house at fraser so most weekends are spent there). Any suggestions?

cheers
Duncan..

Thanks Guys,

Found out that Dobinsons do a 40mm spring lift for the 2006 5 door, they haven't released any shocks yet.

I have a 90ltr Explorer, sits in the back of my ute 24/7 rain hail or shine. Not cheap but will last forever. Also have a 40ltr Engel, 25 years old and runs like a dream.

Looking at getting a new diesel SR5 dual cab lux, is it going to be up to the task of a trip to the Cape? Most of my driving will be weekend trips away to fraser (god bless my girlfriends house on fraser!) but the odd trip to the cape will be on the cards.

cheers
Duncan...

Have they bought out a 2 inch suspension kit for the new Grand vitara (5 door) yet?

Trying to decide which tyre best suits my needs, i have a swb Mav that is only used for trips away. I want a 35inch size tyre that is capable of getting me to Fraser aswell as trips to cruiser park. I really like the simex's but think they may be to rough and will wear quick driving to fraser (i ...

15 x 8 with small offset.

will be used on dirt rutted hills etc

I'm looking at gett some new boots for my swb Mav, it has a 3 inch spring lift and 2 inch body i was wanting to get some 35 simex's but i'm not sure what width i should go. 10.5, 11.5 or 12.5. Will the wider tyres rub more?
