Or if you're really dodgy like me you could fill half a coke can (with top torn off) with petrol, light it and set up spring over it. After a while (and a lot of smoke) the crush sleeve will fall out. When this happens you should be able to push out most of the rubber (don't burn youself). Then out ...

The coke can idea sounds like a lot more fun

but thanks tom, turns out my mates father owns a rather large hydraulics company with a well equipped workshop, and he's offered the use of the press to me

Got the shackles, and got some new bushes, belted the pins outta the the old shackles and ...

never done either, but still voted yes.

as was said, if you cant weld, get some1 to do it for you (i'm lucky enough to have a boilermaker for a future brother in law )

anything i've done to my truck so far I have done myself and starting to even do most of the welding. If you cant get enough ...

ONly had a quick look at it tonight, but is there an easy way to get the bush out of the front end of an IFS rear??? preferably just the metal sleeve in the middle, as then the original pin off mine will fit straight in?...

Mine had a 2.2 in it, which at 170 clicks we replaced it with a fully reco'ed 2.4. Definately a noticeable difference in power, but a turbo sure would be nice. Looking at a cheap kit off a surf which shouldn't be too much hassle and give a nice power increase!! Probably a cheap way to go if u cant ...

where do you get the redarc jobby from???

Cheers... just wat i needed

My family have gone sierra mad, we now have 3 in the driveway, just to add to the hilux and the 4runner... (and a 2wd hilux and two hiace's - the work cars...) :

The latest one we got for $200 off a mate who is moving to QLD, its all pretty good, except for the drive shafts and the gearbox ...

Cheers hypo... will look better when i get off my a$$ and finish the roll bars... and a lot fatter with 35's when i get the cash together

Hey, I chopped the back of my hilux, very similar to bubs and 83 lux...

welded a new crossmember in, not a word from the local constabulary.
Am thinking about putting the tow hitch back on, but its not going to be very functional at the height it is...

Also area54's hilux tray is a cut down ...

This was a hack job, but they are all the more fun. Got the idea off pirate forum, when we had the same problem with a mates zook, and didn't have an impact driver, so instead of grinding a slot in the screws, we ground off the top half of the hinges on the door side(?) that way we could remove the ...

Daily driver...

are these rules similar or the same in Vic?

I have a 92 litre tropical ice box... Best things out, a lot cheaper than evakool and as long as you dont leave them in the sun when they are not being used they have a really long life.... (my mate found that out the hard way with a 105 litre one.. )

For Greg...

It's an 87 SJ50(?) stock as...

reco'd 1.3 from another sierra
138,000 k's total
very clean car (as you can see from pic's....)

I think the rims are off something different because they are slightly
bigger than the spare. good thing tho.

The leafs may have been repsrung ...

Just brought an 87 sierra....

about to give it a bit of maintenance... anyone know how many litres of oil it takes to fill it?

cross brace your main hoop, and try not to bend those rear stays.

Bending the rear stays will make it weaker I'm guessing?

Only thing is, I dont think my new 90L esky would fit under straight ones... And remember i am a lux driver so I dont do no trip without my esky

"N*A*M" yeah dump the woman and work on the car is the best way to recover

yeah... the car doesn't crack the shits half as much!


Anyway... ended up going with the 50mm. rather safe than sorry, even if i only use it once, i want it to work!

Come up alright for an amatuer.... almost ...

got it all mapped out on the ground... just about to start bending... who's going to make the decision for me??

50mm OD 5mm thick 1 bar up front

or

25mm ID 5mm thick 2 bars up front


My ex handbrake always said because i'm a libran i am a bad decision maker.... Made one right one tho ...

No luck, if he is there he aint answering!

I just found a 3.2m length of 50mm OD 5mm thick... only one tho.... Might have to settle for that... Definately beating otis' budget still , the spray job and the tray have only cost bout 400 bucks together so far... 200 for paint and about 170 for ...

hmm i would ask cheezy but i'm pretty sure he wont be at work still!!

I am asking tonight because if some1 reckons it will be ok, i'll make the buggers tonight!

I think that makes it pretty final for me...

Go down to the paint shop and rack up the acct with flat black acrylic spray cans.

easy touch ups turn me on

What would be the mimimun OD and thickness pipe you would use on a roll bar?

The pic is the kinda setup i'm going to make... black bit being the tray....

I have a sh*tload of 25mm ID that is 5mm thick, but i'm a bit worried about the strength....

Cost isn't a problem with the powdercoating, cause i get a lot of stuff done for work, and the guy looks after me...

Of course he is a bit bias towards powdercoating so I thought I would get some other opinions....

Next week I should be at a stage where it is time to put some colour on the frame of my tray and the roll bars, as well as my sliders that are sitting waiting to be fitted...

Question is : Am i better or powdercoating for a better finish, or painting so that its easier to touch up when scratched ...

I like them... Got them as a 21st pressie. Every1 I know knows my car as 'joelux' anyway, so the plates just suit....

As for cost, in vic it is only a once off thing, $318 or so i think the receipt said....

The magnums... what lengths do they come in? and how much travel etc.... anyone know off hand?

an 8000kg 9m strap range from around $55 - 90 depending on where you shop from what I have gathered... Just got a terrain tamer (8000kg 9m) won it in a raffle not sure what its worth yet, but it looks like its well made... yet to try it.... still looking at getting something nice and long like the ...

.......

The vibes now appear mainly when theres a change in throttle position... IE "on to off" the throttle as in gear changes and predominately at speeds greater than 80k's. The diff snout moves 20-30mm under acceleration/decelleration at a speed of 80kph and this may be causing the unis to ...
