Good point pongo just that I was wondering if anyone new about the hilux springs into mk-mq

Mine are pretty shagged out so reset not really an option
there is another mq near me I might check out the springs on it I have heard of pol using hilux springs of some sort
Does anyone know if they fit or what to do o get them to fit
cheers

hey guys i have an mk and just wondering if there are any leaf spring mods ie springs from differant model or makes of 4wd .
my left spring on front is sagging really bad so looking at differant options
cheers

you could try a heavy duty over centre latch they spring closed once they get to a certain point so imho would be a good idea as they would stay shut

look in the bible i think it has the info there
prob have to change bell housings and possibly the shaft

cheers guys and v840 why would i wanta jeep ha ha
me gf gonna lovethat

lol funny lot you guys are
fixed it was really bad basicly the whole mount
the chassis tore out so i have refabbed my chassis at that point and now it drives like a new 4wd lol
i jacked it up and the drivers side one just fell off i was lucky
so its all good now

just noticed my front right hanger has cracked at the weld on drivers side of hanger
wats the best way to fix it i have a massive shake at 80 kays now
i used to get this shake when the bearings were loose but i have tightened them

i have mine off heaps better never had a prob and im airborn often and drive it hard
best thing i did

the only time mine gets hot is sittin in traffic
but thats because my thermos have broken and running no fans atm
i can if i have to just run wire from one thermo to battery if i need
i should get it fixed lol

ill get a pick of mine
mine are 3 inches longer than standard
gives me inch and half lift
but i also have coil helpers in the rear of mine so its higher than standard
mine look huge

ive used 50 x 10 mm mild steel with big brace in middle
but i have been told mild steel is no good
just wondering wat steel ppl use

what material do you guys recomend for making shackles
grades of steel and sizes etc

welding is the go i did mine this weekend looks awesome and whole thing welded in

are the pumpkins on the front diffs etc cast iron or cast steel??
i have mk patrol anyone know
or know how to tell

lol
hell yes they are tough
had one in my xc falcon used to go hard as
done a hell off a lot of kays in that travelling west oz

wouldnt having them bolted with the big u and bolt be better if they got damaged than being welded to chassis
cut or unbolt them off and put new ones on
if they are welded you have to grint /oxy /plasma etc ??
correct me if im wrong but to me undoing a bolt seems better to me

i will try get all details of me springs tomoz and post up for him then we can all find out he he

cheers lump

chhers mate
i will get those for ya
i have 3 leaf parabolics in the rear of mine

im trying to find out the standard rate of mq/mk springs or close enought to what the rating is any help would be good

besides using greasable shackles what grade bolts would you use if you needed to use normal bolts??
for mk

i have power steering lines new all clean etc
just sitting there lol

so in saying that you could use power steering hoses as a replacement for remote oils filter set up ?

power steering hoses
or
remote oil filter hoses
which one is subject to higher pressure

wicked have you got a pic of the shifter plate etc so i know what ya mean and i may be able to get one made if you can get sizes as i have heaps spare time lol and hill billy where abouts do you drill etc and what is needed to do the overhead cam so i could run a carby etc like someone said or still ...

awesome looks like a plan eventually lol
