Thanks for the reply. Could i just tap two of these plugs into the front section of the air flow meter housing? theres a fair bit of piping between the sensor and the filter flange.

how easy are 75s to modify?

I was thinking 35s. what would it take to get those on?

Also would i need to look at transfer case reduction gearing?

Also what are the going rates for the full sized tray canvas canopies?

75 Series

Hey,

Joining the ranks of 75 series ownership. i am going to look at a few next week. i have noticed that there are two different diesels. a 4.0 and a 4.2. is there any reason why i should choose one over the other?

Also any other things that i should look out for?

Also with a Coily you have different ratios through the transfer and the diffs. The diffs are 4.01 IIRC and the transfer is 1.320H and 2.123L . On mine i will be sourcing a leaf sprung transfer (either 1.3 or 1.0 providing it has a 4wd light). If you change the transfer you will also need the read ...

There is a product called fuel doctor which does much the same thing as metho except metho is only a temporary absorbent. Fuel doctor also cleans the whole fuel system of water and the bugs that breed in the water.

You can get it from supercrap auto for about $16.
