g'day Brighty,

Our CV's are no stronger or weaker than a genuine cv as far as we can tell.

We don't warrant them for competition use. I don't know how much you can expect out of a $55 CV but out of the hundreds of units we have sold I have never heard of someone being unhappy with their purchase ...

Check out our blog for some pics of the lead up to the event for Darren and Wayne.

How many bolts does the mighty kong pick up on the front of the case?

I"ve had the spidertrax mounts for years and haven't had a problem with up to 34 inch tyres and my gearing reduction spread between the transfer (4.9:1) and my diff gearing (4.57:1). I think thats the key, you need to spread the ...

A few words and pic hobzee asked me to post up for you guys heading up!

"Hilux still way out woop woop at 100th waypoint with new studs and king pin bearings coming in today. Will fix tonight or tomorrow once we finish stage set up - only 3 to go. It pays to maintain your vehicle."

You Have no ...

Got a phone call from I think(?) Car 19 Bruce Borchardt & Kean Peard NSW today at work, they were trying to ring Hobzee and it diverted to the office.

Apparently they were in Broken Hill and trying to get onto Paul Van der Horst to let him know that they were pulling out and not going to rejoin ...

We find on newer model vehicles such as GU patrols that the halogen Low beam is only about 70-80% in brightness as the standard Halogen low beam. In saying that the HID high beam is a massive improvement over the OEM halogen low beam in this particular vehicle.

We have spoken to the manufacturer ...

That'll be a question for the supplier mk. Boss hasn't supplier me with that information.

Here's a blurb from our suppllier.

"BOSS manufactures lightweight T6 heat treated aluminium air tanks, with a range of tank sizes, port configurations and port sizes. Our tanks are rust free, providing clean ...

Says its been tested but not tow ...

I thought the NTs had two lines running to the rear?

Cheers

Nice effort Nic!

I'd probably replace the whole axles and cv and then keep the old axle as a spare if its in good nick.

If Dave can't help you, you can give me a call. I can help with the Mickey Thompson tyres and can point you in the right direction re: freight/pickup etc. We are in Mornington.

Hey Scotty,

Make sure you fit them to a wide rim as these tyres will crown reallly badly in the centre of the tread when run on a rim that is too narrow at road pressures.

Seen it happen on a few vehicles that have come through the shop here.

Most people seem to be happy with them off road. For ...

Otherwise just come and buy a H4 HID Hi/Low 6000k Upgrade kit for your headlights. THey run at 55w and will poo all over your standard lights. Probably won't even need to run spotties.

In this day and age I just don't see the need to run heaps of Halogen spotties when we have HID technology around ...

I'm pretty sure that I could sell you a Vitara ARB winch bar and get it modded for the body lift for under the 1200-1300 that you are looking at to get that bar into the country.

You other option is to get one made up locally. I have a few contacts in melbourne if you want to go down that road ...

www.enginefactory.com.au

Try these guys if you are looking to buy and import from the states. I don't have personal experience with them but they seem to run a pretty tight service taking care of all import issues etc.

THey are based in the states and have a rep out in melbourne. Seems to know ...

I priced up some custom upgraded cvs and axles for a customers jimny a few weeks back and they were pretty reasonable. The guy knows his stuff. He quoted around $660 per side so I guessing for rear axles which require less work you could get them cheaper.

you didn't mount them upside down did you? As this could affect the valving on them.

Stock Tire - 285/75R16
Section Width:11.22 in - 285 mm
Rim Diameter:16 in - 406.4 mm
Rim Width Range:7.5 - 9 in
Overall Diameter:32.83 in 833.88 mm
Sidewall Height: 8.41 in 213.61 mm
Radius:16.41 in 416.81 mm
Circumference:103.1 in 2618.7 mm
Revs per Mile:633.5

you'd be right with that size ...

Tell me about disappointing! We have more inquiries about the 33s than any other size!

Dan

Chapel Corner have ceased importing the 33" size as there were too many issues with that size only.

The 35x11.5-15, 35x10.5-16 and 31x10.5-15 are the only sizes available in Aus at the moment. These are selling strongly with many happy customers.

16 inch wheels are more expensive, one negative, but you normally open up your options for tyre sizes too. Less sidewall means better control but more wheel to destroy on obstacles.

Question is why do you want to go to 16s other than reducing your sidewall height?

I'd only consider going to a 16 ...

Yep that's all you need to do. It is an easy fix. Give them a clean up and use some gasket goo to seal the hub switch back onto the hub when you bolt it back on to keep it sealing inside.

Wheel bearings vary in price, but usually around the $30-50 per corner. Bearing shops are usually cheaper than ...

Depending on the condition of the hub it can be an easy trail fix. You probably just need to pull it apart, give it a good clean and re-lube as it may have dirt/mud clogging the turning/locking mechanism. It is also possibly the front wheel bearings might not be in great condition if there has been ...

no it won't because they have a clutch fan if it is a g13bb so when it hits water it stops instead of causing suction.

Well if its not that, then whats causing the damaged radiator fins on the engine side even if it is a clutch fan....got me stumped

When you go through deep bogholes....similar to this:



Water will rise up into the engine bay and the fan will start to hit the water causing it to torque up and pull itself towards the radiator like a boat propellor.

Shouldn't be a problem to get these made up but you will prob have to order a minimum qty or organise a group buy for it to be worth going through with.

I have a magnum/tabor 9000lb in my sierra arb bar with a upgraded 4.6hp warn motor. Fits nicely in the bar. In the arb bars, you should be able to fit anything from a warn 3500lb atv winch (might have to drill new mounting holes) up to a xd9000 without any mods.
