yes trepadores are over an inch taller than creepys in 37 x 16

both ARB and TJM do the job only difference is you can always get ARBs but rarely do TJM have their lockers available

5 speed is 100mm longer than 4 speed

If you want the best "straight bolt on" brakes the 4.8 petrol GU's have the biggest brakes (disc's and calipers/pads) of all the Patrols. Youd need 16"+ rims though
I'd steer clear of slotted rotors too.
cheers GU brakes dont bolt straight on to a GQ you have to change the whole front diff housing ...

yes i have had the same problem in my front locker the whole thing was scrap metal. I have also broken rear lockers where the housings failed but ask ARB and they will tell you they have never seen it before

sorry to bring up this old one but are there any of the 3ltr td's that seem to be better than the others. yes, the 2030 model all the bugs will be ironed out.

The real question is, do you have a spare $10k+ layin round if the motor does shit itself? Its a lottery - AND IT SHOULDNT BE.. Like the ...

The play will be from the cross pins the spider gears run on .Because the pins aren't one piece and are only supported where they go though the case they flog out the case. Eventually the gears will break as i have seen happen a few times. Its serious design fault one that ARB don't seam to care ...

The flange is part of the axle it does not come off. If you want to remove the bearing and retainer from the axle it just press's off, but you will probably need to replace the bearing as pressing off usually damages them

Don't know enough about the dana's but you are kidding right :?: You don't think a GU diff (be it front or rear) would last a few stages in WEROCK or similar :?: :?: :?:

Put it this way. You give me a rig with a GU front axle for 10 minutes and I bet I can break a CV. Bind the front tyre in a ...

yeah mate the shocks and coils will fit but panhard rods won't.Lower trailing arms are 15mm longer on gu's as well.the rear locker from a gq will go into a gu the front one will but you have to get a part put in so it will work. not sure why though.the only reason i know this is because i put them ...

what do you think we used before migs were invented

i broke both my front axles in my GU last weekend they both broke exactly like NAMs clean break no twisted splines no damage from bottoming out no CV joint damage just clean break on the end of CV end spline. right hand (short axle) went first then when i tried to reverse the left snapped instantly ...

i have toughdogs, only because i got the kit at a steal, imo the adjuster is wank factor, incab adjuster is bigger wank factor, and for what its worth, they are very over priced, handle heat well , but are very stiff, rebound is sloppy on fast hits due to this stiffness, my vote is for efs as ill ...

yes i realize that but what im saying is helicol cut gears are designed to run load one way which is why they break easier in reverse

probably be cheaper and a hole lot easier to just buy a gq

yes they are cut the other way around so the pinion drives on the right side of the teeth you would have to fit the diff upside down

my 05 coil cab owes me around 80k and now the only straight panel on it is the bonnet

i have seen your ute, and a nice ute as it is, its hard to see where all the money has gone into it, so wheres most of the money gone into it?

and what happened? did you put it on its lid? :( a new ST cab ...

yes thanks again to the logan club for another good nite run best of all i did no damage for a change

yes the new RD136 fits both GQ and GU you get the thrust pad with it to fit in GQ as you did with the RD78A but you dont need it anyway just fit the GQ axles in without pad. i have fitted 4 of the new RD136 allready and have had no problems .I never used the pad in the RD78As either in fact in some ...

Does anyone know if the kaymar latches have a rubber bush inside ?

Mine has just started to rattle at the pivot point.

I'm close to taking a grinder to it to see what I can do as it is driving me mad. (I think I might be doing some damage to my hearing as the stereo is getting louder and louder ...

You need to disassemble the diff and put your crown wheel onto the locker housing so you diff ratio will remian whatever it is now.
And if you're doing it yourself, make sure you use the locking tabs and some thread lock on the crownwheel bolts. I've had two crownwheels come "undone" due to the ...

fair point but they are making plenty of money off their bars and latches even as individual items... i like their products but cant afford...

If they wanted to be making heaps of money they would sell them as individual components but instead are more concerned in keeping their brand credible by ...

the RD78A has been discontinued the new number for the front patrol locker is RD136 it has a new modifed housing and takes 50mm id side carrier bearings. they should have done this to the rear locker instead of the front as its the one that breaks housings

PEARSE & TAYLOR at wooloogabba they do diff housings for most of the panel shopps

white spirits is what the lease companys use in their machines

from my experience they are crap in the sand(compared to bfg's) but good everywhere else.

They are great in sand, you need to lower your tyre pressure.
anyone else think its fairly pointless asking bout tires anymore?



If you run the wrong tyre pressure the MTZs will be crap in sand, I found ...

Yes there ok have fitted a few sets and use them myself in my ute .some sets can be a bit noisy though

Trepadors shit on creepys
