putting it in a different way, will I fix the "landcruiser lean" with a new set of springs and who does the best riding 50mm lift springs for a 47 series landcruiser??

Still doing up my 47 series cruiser ute and I have a few questions. It still has the "cruiser lean". Is this all in the springs or are there other things at play? I want a pretty good ride ( at least as good as I can get) and was looking to keep the leaves. What I was thinking of was to go for some ...

I've used a little. At least their small parts like copper washers , clips, speed nuts, actually fit . I rekon I burnt up at least $600 of customers money driving around to find parts , and at least that again filing copper washers to fit and the like from champion and other brands kits.

I've fitted them to many industrial diesels to help preserve turbo life on engines that stop and start suddenly and some where low idle is still very loaded up and the turbos are still working hard (just not flat out). The check valves are there to make sure that when the accumulator feeds the oil ...

I was really hoping someone may have a "donor car" with what I want .

I had bought a "keep it clean" wiring kit for my HJ47 rebuild but its all too hard changing everything over. In short I've wrecked the original wiring harness, cant make the new one work so I guess I'm asking if anyone has a FJ45 wiring harness complete and in good condition for sale? The reason I ...

Anyone running this injection setup ? Wondering how it goes.

I didn't think there was any difference in the locking hub between the 40 and the 75. Make sure the gear isn't for the shonky AVM locking hubs.

I thought on the 1HZ's the tacho ran off the alternator, reading the ac side of the alternator.

I've seen them rust up too, and also had them not engage after a repack due to there being too much grease in the hub not letting the gear engage and the spring not being strong enough to push the grease out of the way.

Are you after the splittys or the chrome wheels that look like the later hilux wheels?

A tig would be better for the actual welding of the panels, but I think too much mucking around for panel repair. I think you will find a mig handier, easier to do rust repairs with and easier to get into tighter spots (not needing two hands to use). I've used both although not used the tig for rust ...

I'm pretty sure standard tyres were 7.50x16. In standard form they used to be pretty rough so most people used to put fatties on to tame the rough. I just measured my 47 series ute for you and got 1415mm (as best I could with the wheels on). This was from the wheel mount to the wheel mount.

Its a aqua - bluey green colour

I've used loctite primer, a little goes a long way!

Thanks, it could just be a job number too I guess. I bought it and the total driveline in my cruiser second hand and haven't got the engine running yet (getting overhauled) so I cant see for myself.

The torque convertor in my turbo 400 (fitted to my cruiser) has the numbers "ATS F414" stamped on to it. It has been cut and rewelded so I was thinking that the stamp might mean something like who done it up and if it is a little higher in stall speed.
Does any body recognise the numbers??

Injection is near the cost of a decent carby

Where do you shop??? I've been looking and I have to disagree. To buy new, or remanufactured , you can not get injection for the sorts of prices companies want for carbs.

boot the carby and go injection

I'd love to but we aren't all made of money, besides a well set up carby doesn't give much away to injection.

Whats the best carb to have on a v8 in my cruiser offroad? I've already got a quadrajet, but I am after other opinions from people who are in the know

I havent looked for a day or two, too much BS going on. I ended up going to the rear LSD, purely for the easy to pull out reason. I have driven detroit lockers on the street in high horsepower cars and know quite a few of their quirks and dont really think I would have had much trouble with the ...

. the V8 will kill it if it is in the rear. the single crosspin will snap and/or the spring pins will break and/or the shoulders of the dog teeth will be shredded. big power plus auto plus auto locker plus ute (light rear end) can mean very unpredictable on-road performance. Have you seen this ...

I was waiting for the "get an airlocker" brigade to start. Its OK for those with the money, but these are what I've got and I aint going out to buy anything more.

have seen on cruisers the oil may go either way and the balance pipe keeps them alive reasonably well but the real fix is to drop off the transfer and fix the seal that is leaking in the first place. I havent had a lot to do with rolluxes so cant really comment on wether or not your gbox will starve ...

The quandry I have is about some diffs and where to put them. Before you all say "where the sun dont shine" at least give me your opinion please. On one hand I have a 4 center gear LSD and on the other is a standard rear 47 series with a lokka in the center . Both are the same ratio and both going ...

Should be OK to weld in a new peice but I would check with an engineer to make sure you know the proper welding shedule for what you're doing and follow his guidelines to the letter.

I had been told this transfer had Marks overdrive gears in it so I thought if I knew the standard number of teeth, I could count mine and see.

How many teeth does the standard toyota gear have. The gear I'm talking about is the gearbox shaft gear in the transfer case. The one that sits in front of the PTO drive gear.
