Just moved to newie from darwin and i'm after a shop that can help me out with engine conversions and compliancing. The car is ureg at the moment and it needs lots of stuff sorted.

Bugger, it's in the for sale section.

It's a solid axle 86 diesel dual cab.

Is it worth doing the xover steering if i'm going to put steer on it anyway?
If so what box and pump do i need?

What's involved in putting power steer into this truck. Did any come out with it standard and if so is it just a matter of bolting on the pump and changing the box?

He wants to swap for my beaten up old gq patrol. it has 455000 km and not a straight panel on it. it's nothing special complete with split rims and a million rattles that drive me nuts. horses for courses i guess. we have our first bub on the way and i need a more comfortable family car. the patrol ...

Hi guys looking at buying an 86 dual cab lux. it's a 2.4 diesel with a g52 gearbox. the thing is in nearly new condition with only 182000 kms on the clock, complete factory toolkit and has been garaged all it's life. the things i'm worried about are it's a bit noisey in 5th gear, no power steer for ...

Mine was set up with the pinion pointed strait at the T/case, seemed to work OK, but without a torque rod thingy, you will bind the uni's under offroading conditions. (with the pinion pointed up you will bind the uni's easier under power as the uni's are already closer) What do you mean by bind the ...

What should i do with this?

Would want to be able to pass rego in nsw.

It has 2 inch lifted springs and i don,t have a track bar. Wondering if i should rotate the diff so the diff pinion and tail shaft are close to in line and go with a cardinal joint on the tcase end. Thanks any way redzook. By the way good drive. I don't know the track at all but the picks look great ...

I have wide track diffs and it looks as if the pads were set up at the same angle as the originals. BIG angles on both ends of the drive shaft!!!!!

Does anyone have pics of their angles?

Brad.

So do most people have their pinion angle close to the same as the drive shaft, so it's like a straight line?

Heard that the diff and tcase flanges were to be within a couple of degrees of each other.

After ideas on tail shaft and pinion angles. I have a SPOA and i get vibrations when trying to sit on a constant speed. It doesn't seem to be there while accelerating or engine breaking. So i guess i could say it only does it when there is no load on the shaft. Does anyone have any ideas? Pics would ...

WHAT A rooster!
The author of this thread doesn't even know the difference between a diff and a transfer.
All fixed now.

Case 3 selcts in a straight line, not a u shape if that helps. Don't know about case 2, i don't have a stick for that.

Been a while since i posted. Ankle reconstructions, wedding in 5 weeks etc etc...
Got hold of 3 TRANSFER CASES the other day (thanks nags) all different....
Can anyone tell me which is the best to use and what model they are out of. Wanna go rockhoppers soon.

Trying the pic thing

Yep. Tried to post a pick but they're too big. Can't figure out how to reduce their size yet.

Do you have pics of your rear top shock mount? I have spoa but haven't relocated the top shock mount yet.

That's about the hight. Playing with rears up front and shackle reversal at the moment.

I have a spoa and 2 - 3 inches lift. It mainly vibrates on hard accelleration, is there any other way? and when there is no load on the shaft. Gentle accelleration and de-accelleration are o.k

What shafts are people running with big lift sierras? Mine are on big angles and vibrate and chew out unis at a fair rate. The transfer and pinnion angles look the same.

What's involved in fitting hilux shafts with the double unis on one end?

By the way, how do you post pics?

I have a Calmini s/r kit i'm going to start playing with. I'm looking at running rears up front and then using a set of climax shackles to get the extra length. I was going to look at making it pinable to the chasis though instead of where it pins now. Can any one find holes in this plan, i have ...

Need more up travel as well as longer shocks and brake lines. All in good time...

Well i"ve bought a patrol. It has seen better days but i'll tidy it up in due course. It is a 89 GQ, 4.2 diesel 5speed. It has an oil leak on the front passenger side of the diff, looks like it's coming out of the swivel hub anddown the isnide of the wheel. Any ideas on what it would be and what's ...

Looking at buying one but don't know much about them. How close are they to a GQ. It has a front axle seal leak. What is a fair price for these things. It has a 4.2 dieso and 5 speed, no air.

Any info would be great, thanks...

I am interested in the kit. I have a 4age in my suzi but it is a bit rough. We were in a hurry. We have actually bogied the actual mounts that bolt to the engine.
