these were in production till 1998

ditch the jeep body for a more mitsubishi style and you'd be on a winner

Hi Fis, I'm 99% sure 2002-2006 4wd MK triton twin pot brakes will fit your car, but you'll have to upgrade your rotor size from 270mm to 314mm from the same car to suit. On a downside, 15" rims will no longer fit. I think I have a spare set in the garage, but I think it'd be a fair walk for you to ...

Hi, if your ute is manual it will have a 8" diff in the front, if it is auto it will be 7.25"

Hi FIS, what size rotors are on your challenger at the moment? as there are 2 different sizes and you may have the smaller ones fitted.

Hi FIS, I would imagine you would want shorter gearing to help push the 33's on the highway, & also slow things down a bit off road? as going from 4.63 to 4.17 will make it harder to hold top gear on the highway and speed things up even more off road. The MK triton diffs are interchangeable and a ...

Hi, you have the 9" 4.9

In 02 they changed to the 9.5" 4.9

I did this conversion on my 03 triton V6 recently, should be pretty similar had the box, transfer, drive shafts & flywheel sitting in my shed from a 99 triton, got a clutch pedal with master cylinder, clutch line & slave cylinder from the wreckers for 20 bucks bought a new clutch kit, approx 300 ...

I'm not quite sure which 4.2t wagon you have, but if it's an 80 series or something coily then you will be taking a backwards step in comfort if you hop into a leaf sprung ute. I don't own one of the new td utes myself but have towed a fair bit with a td hilux auto, on long highway hills which would ...

265/75/16's fit no problem, no scrubbing, as long as your torsion bars haven't sagged too much

285/75/16's fit, no scrubbing with a little bit of torsion bar wind up

grab a low k magna 6g74 from the wreckers for pittance in comparison on price, f@ck... you get a whole TH magna with the motor for 2k nowadays, there is minimal block difference, from memory you'll need to add one hole for the crank angle sensor and maybe a little timing cover adjustment. bolt ...

DK, a set of -22mm cruiser offset rims in 15" may not foul the brakes but they will increase your scrub radius and foul on your guards, where a 16" rim with 0 to -12mm offset with the same size tyre will clear all round.

I wound up the front torsions, did nothing to the rear and I fit 33x12.5x15s without scrubbing http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/7126/image042b.jpg So I can imagine you could do the same but if you are running 16's the equivalent would be around a 305/70R16 (33x12.5x16), or you could go a 285/75R16 ...

That seems like a great price for 35's, these tyres are good too, they are exactly the same as the maxxis buckshot tyres and I mean exactly, I have a set of each and have inspected both with a fine tooth comb and the only difference I can find is in the sidewall print. I am looking for a new set of ...

nah not really interested in posting something that big

Hi, do you need an auto or manual one?
I think I have a spare one of each, what location are you in? I am in melb

when this happens on my crumpledore I change the o2 sensors and she drives like new again, it could be similar for these

you are right with your last post tritontray, same thing, as the spline is the same at either end and the rods are reversible... at least in the mitsis they are when you actually perform the job you may find, like me, the front slips out easier than the rear hanger, and it gives you an extra handle ...

you'll be right scott, it's not as daunting as it may seem

they both go different ways, it is very easy to see when you remove them, from memory I think the left gets shifted anticlockwise and right clockwise when re-indexing.

that's exactly my point

re-index re-index re-index there is no need for new torsion bars if you want you can bring your car over to my place and I'll charge you half the price of the new ones and in 40 mins you'll drive back out with 2 or 3 inches of lift torsion bars only need replacing if they are broken, and that is a ...

Swaddo, if you're using say 24L of lpg per 100 kays at say 0.43c per litre ( which is the last price I paid for it ) that means that it cost you $10.32 to drive 100 kays. For your car to be costing you less than $1 per 100 kays more to run on petrol you must be getting around 9.1 litres per 100 kays ...

Nice work cammo, after this is all said and done you should be a master at this conversion, any chance you would like to do it again to mine? I can supply the motor and diffs.

Cheers

Once you go patrol offset your 5mm clearance dissapears.

Mr_ra23, on your 05 triton I'm pretty sure you will have to get 16" rims as the front brakes are bigger than my 99 triton in the pic, well that's what I had to do for my other 03 triton anyway. I have wound the torsion bars in both, there is no real need to ever replace the standard torsion bars as ...

Here is my mk triton with 33x12.5, no body lift, no scrubbing, patrol offset rims is the key.

This is joibarda with 38's

going from 31 to 33 inch tyres with lengthen your overall gearing by about 5%, that's 5% higher or faster at any given rev in any gear, high or low ratio. If you can live with that then you'll be fine, if you want to gear it down you can possibly get lower ratio diffs, you'll need both front and ...

lol at you. Torsion bars are rubbish if you want any real lift out of a 4x4 Yes master, tool. hi fella's just wound up my torsion bars the other day to allow for my new tyres plus to get rid that shit looking paj front dip... never liked it, any way raised then 2.5" and it looks so great, i dont ...

Hi muscles, the gearbox issues were with the 2.8 diesel engines, the v6 boxs are good.

The one thing I have had fail on 2 of the v6 tritons I have owned is a windscreen wiper motor on each.

+200k vehicles of any make and model will require a certain amount of upkeep and maintenance.
