ive just bought some mickey thompson claws, 33 inch on 15x8 sunraysia rims. they came off a 96 ifs hilux. when i fitted these to my maverick, the rears were fine however the front rims rested on what seem to be the brake pad surround (not sure of the official term) and wouldnt rotate. i thought toyo...

originals are a 15x8 rim

thanks mate, took it down to a tyre place today and got it sorted, was the wrong offset. just took the rubber off the original rim and swapped for the claws.

hello, just picked up a set of 33x12.5 r15 mickey thompson baja radial claws for my mav. they came off a late 90's hilux. the stud pattern matches up fine bit the rims rubs on the brake pad surround on the front. is this because of different depth of the rim??.

hi everyone. just picked up my 1990 maverick. drives really well. the truck is definately lifted in the rear, not sure about the front. tyres are 31x10.5 r15lt. does anoyone know what the height should be from the top of the tyre to the bottom of the guard. the rear gap is 230mm, and the front is 19...

yeah was on the bituman. i managed to get a hold of a guy that used to work for nissan when these first came out and went through it like ive never seen. he said pretty much what you guys have said, wind up in the 4wd system, and need to replace the bush at the base of the gear leaver. car seems to ...

yeah it is my first gq. have had a 87 diesel hilux. dont remember feeling the same friction i felt when in 4wd. is the bush your talking about accessible with the box still in place (access under the car, or from the inside)

just after some advice. ive found a gq patrol, seems to be in top condition. only concern was when the gear lever was in gear (didnt matter which one) there was quite a bit of play in it. i could move it around a bit, but couldnt pop it out of gear. secondly when it was in 4wd and hubs locked, with ...

GQ351. Snorkel looks great. im just up the road from thomastown so might be worth a look down there. What did you use over the hole you cut in the guard, is it like a rubber boot? how did you fix the snorkel to the pillar?

thanks guys, very helpfull. main reason for heading towards the petrol model is price. kinda want to pick one up for around 8 to 10 grand mark. is there anything you can reccomend to watch out for?? anything is appreciated. would like to get 35's put on it. and a snorkel. are you guys familiar with ...

Hi everyone. im now in the marlet for my next fourby. ive pretty much decided on a LWB GQ. the question i have is whether to go for a diesel or a petrol/lpg model. it wont be used for towing at all. mainly be used as a weekend off roader. is there much of a diference between the carby and injected p...

thanks guys, will keep an eye out still

hi everyone, ive just been looking at a 1994 2.8 turbo diesel lux. only down side is it has an IFS front. is it possible/expensive/worthwhile to change this over to a solid front end so i can maximise lift and flex when the time comes.
cheers.

thanks for the feedback guys. i have an 87 lux, so im assuming this older model should be ok for constant lubrication?? Willy Hilux, unfort i live in victoria, willing to post it up to you with a return postage if your keen for something to do, lol. Im quite a novice at this so excuse my ingorance. ...

my aircon on my ln65 lux is not longer needed. ive heard you can turn the aircon compressor into an air compressor to pump up tyres etc. can anyone give me some advice/tips on how i do this?? like how id connect the iar hose to the compressor

thanks for the tip, works great!!
