Ahhh cool, I will have to give him a buzz. I couldn't find the info again. Thankyou

Yeah I saw a post from him a while back offering his mod plating services with an email address in it.
I emailed it but I didn't get a response...

That's just a job for some one who does mod plates not an engineer as far as I know. What area you in?

such as knocking heads during braking/cornering.
I'd argue that with 'but a Troopcarrier has these exact same seats ...

Hi All,

I know this is general tech and I'm talking about a Toyota, but it is more an engineering question.

I am about to start rebuilding my Middy shortly and one thing I have been stuck on finding is whether or not I can legally put Troopy Side Seats in the back of it. I'd like to do this ...

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me if there are any other seats that will fit in the front and rear of a Middy...?

I assume any FJ75 fronts should fit, but what about the rears?
Or anyone getting rid of a rear seat?

Let me know when you are going to do it and I'll come round for a look-see.

It's not that hard really and I don't see you having any issues with it.
I can at least show you how I did mine.

I've bought a FRP Windscreen Frame before and not long after buying it I took it back and got my cash back.

They are a heavy unit, the 6 bolt holes on the front seemed to be back by a very thin metal, a magnet could hardly find it. Didn't fit well at all as has been mentioned above.

I think the ...

Sweet as Guys, we've found another Brisbane owned Middy... lol
Well 'apparently' it's close enough... ;-)

See you on the next Brisbane based road trip, or 'off' road trip.

FRP88 - Yes still have it and yes Diffs go BANG...

Rookie has my old roof now and has already cut it up, I went straight into search for these topics, I really should have looked to see if there were any newer ones, but to me it's the same topic...

I'm about to cut my truck again so it should be ...

Does it make any more noise with the roof off (is there any extra chassis twisting)

Cheers

I never drove mine off road with the roof on, I bought it, drove it home and then started removing bits and pieces...

Mine has no roof squeaks but Rookie's does, are they all like that? If ...

Hey guys,

I've done a quick search and cannot find what I'm after. Have also PMd Meldge but he appears to not check his e-mail ( or isn't here any more).

I'm here every now and then I guess... Not often though... lol
I don't really have any good pics of the work that was done but I am about to ...

The other option is, I can better that price by $500 for you...

So thats how people get away with fitting cab chassis bodies to 80 series, but I wanted to use the MWB Body...

How do we get around this then?

35s Fit mine with clearance but I have a Susp. Lift and Body Lift...

Body Lift is not that hard to do, I did mine myself, just need to buy your blocks and bolts...

I couldn't use my front two, they snapped when undoing...

I just took them to the shop and said, 'I need these, but 2" longer with a Fine Thread...'

I then bought two nuts for each and hey presto...

Also can anyone tell me how much wider a 60 series housing is compared to 73 series...

I have no centre in the rear of mine now, and one of my swivel hubs are shagged...

It will cost a little to buy two complete diffs, but in that I will then have a wider wheel track, and a spare diff front my ...

The C.V's are all the same from 40-60 & lux. I belive the only difference is early 40's with drum brakes May have had a different spline count on the c.v's to the disc models.Other wise the C.V's are the same sizes.

In saying that I pulled some CVs out of a 40 Series as spares once and they are ...

Well, I have one of these... FJ73...

u can just go to bunnings, but I found they were a lot more expensive, so just go to a steel place and see what they have

Bunnings..expensive.. won't the whole beat it by 10% come into effect?? :?

Good thinking but other place that you comparing price needs to be advertising the exact same ...

Or, Remote Filter Fitement, which is a big option with the Lexus fitting cowboys...

What mods have been done to this truck, both Engine Mods and Susp. Mods?

I guess that will be the first question from many of the people here...

I am experiencing some shake fron tthe front end...

I busted my rear diff, and had to drive home on the fronts...

What else can you try with the spline, or is it a new shaft that is needed?

hey SANGA did you order the parts and fit them yourself or did u get someone to put it in for you??

i have obtained a quote fora 2" bodylift from Mannell motors for $1300 and thats more than i paid for a suspension lift i was planning on gettin the blocks and getting a helping hand from some mates ...

It wont flop, at the moment. Take leaves out and it might, looking at shackles and 'another' locker by Saturday, if time permits, leaves too...

Just a quick one, I have a 86 Model FRP Top Cruiser - 3F petrol model...

5 Speed Manual - Don't know gearbox code, would it be strong enough, just been rebuilt?

Is this one of the boxes that have been mentioned above?

Also, in regards to re-drilling the spring perch... If I take leaves out, and use an extended shackle to hold it all in place, would it work similarly to a longer leaf spring setup?

I drove an old Surf with V8 and SPOA, felt really tippy...
