Not the same one, but this shows similar situations.

My only gripe about GQ's are the lack of axle upgrades and every P plate farkwit and his dog seems to buy them and thrash the shit out of the bogholes with their "unit" stickers and flat brim "i take it anally from horses" caps.

It can be even worse owning one though. Those retards try and talk ...

A GQ would probably be the obvious choice, parts cheap and plentiful, tough driveline, coils etc. Just a matter of finding a decent one that fits the budget. Fuel costs might depress me in the long run though. Id like to stay away from lpg if possible, ive had trouble with every lpg car ive had ...

I have heard the same thing, although never checked it out.

Except the 4.8 patrols have a hand brake cable dohicky on the rear arms

Bush's and what not are all the same apart from that

So also made out of bread sticks like the rest of them?

Any idea what it weighs laden/unladen? Looks bloody heavy!! But I guess that's what you pay for solid and well built.

Not sure how other states work, but with me being in NSW a state that knows how to charge for registration, I would have put a deck on it, some guards and lights and gone and ...

I would be more concerned as to why an engine was being rebuilt at 150,000km, then thinking an even greater concern as to why a TD42 is being rebuilt at 150,000km

yep got it all out.cleaned everything,sprayed with contact cleaner.no change,bugger.still scratching my head on this one...what did they charge you to rebuild youre cluster?

I honestly can't remember, somewhere between $200 and $300 I think. but they essentially just replaced everything. So while ...

hey rock monkey who did you get to fix ur speedo?


A place called NAMIISS in Newcastle

http://www.gauge-shop.com.au/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I only pulled out my cluster, dropped it into them then picked it up a few days later all fixed up.

I assume you figured out how ...

I can have the front case in low, and the rear case in neutral, and be in low range, so I can crawl like I do now.

No, you would be in neutral. The front case, really only becomes an additional 2 speed gearbox in between the gearbox and transfer case, to give as others have said, more options ...

You can try a few things.

Pull it out, pull it apart, clean it and hit every solder joint with an soldering iron to resolder them in case of any dry joints. Some people supposedly have success with this, but I didn't when mine was doing the same.

Another is to replace it with a second hand unit ...

Any reason why you mounted the capacitors to sit so high and away from the PCB????

Isn't a Hilux 4.30:1 and GQ/GU 4.37:1???

If you main aim is extra weight, there's plenty of ways to do that. Just add more weight to the tray where you want it. If you want it unsprung, just gusset the crap out of the axle housing and go overkill on it.

As for coil springs and and disc brakes, can ...

will here you wont find 33s at the wreckers :D there isnt much interest in them here as in aussie. but will try to get it off one of my friends 4x4 and try it on the ute. the tyre size i was thinking of IF there even is that size is 265/90/16 or 265/95/ 15 or 16??

Cheers.

The 2 most common sizes ...

The amount of 'body lift' is determined fromt the front seats of the body I am putting on (LN106 hilux) - I am allowed to go 4 inch total lift so if the seat in teh hilux sit at the same height as the original patrol ones I have no 'body lift' and can go 4 inches on the springs. Make sense?

How ...

Typically, the interior light works off a switched negative, not a switched positive.


So the interior light, typically, the bulb has a constant positive on one side. You put the switch to "on" and it just earths out the other side to the body, switching it to "door" changes it so it hooks to the ...

I'm 33 and my GQ and my last one only cost $415 or something like that through QBE, NRMA and AAMI off memory were both similar priced by only $10 or so.

They must be really stinging you for your locations for some of those prices and here I was bitching about the price I've been having to pay.

I have searched on google and mainly found motor bike steel tyre valves which have the nuts on the outside of the rim. This would make life a lot easier. Has anyone seen these for car tyres or got a better solution?

All the metal valve stems I have ever had, have always had the nut on the outside ...

Like anything electric, mud and corosion in the actuator. But thats over many years. They also get jammed when disengaging sometimes and you have to roll the truck backwards for it to release. Nothing major. Depends where your getting your lockers from for pricing differences. Arb will always be ...

i wanna be able to engage my lockers moving if only slowly ...elockers do not allow that

Actually Eaton state in their paperwork you can engage an E-Locker up to speeds of 3mph (5km/h) as long as their is minimal wheel slippage. I do this all the time, probably a dozen times over today and last ...

Personally, if someone asks you that question you should just slap them for asking a stupid question.

What do people use on their gq's when they have taken the factory wheel arch extension (and mud flap) off?

I have a piece of angle mounted off the front hole of where the towbar bolts on, only the one bolt holding it on. Then just have a piece of conveyor belt rubber cut to shape and screwed to ...

2011 dual cabs do not have lockable front hubs,

My 3 month old D22 STR Dual Cab certainly has lockable free wheeling front hubs.

has 6" wide rims and skinny tires compared to the older models that have 7" wide rims.

Mine has the exact same rims that my old ZD30 powered D22 STR had.

You'll need to use a "Diesel" Tacho which gets it's signal from the alternator. You then connect it to the "W" terminal of the alternator. Not all alternators have this terminal, but it's not a major job to have the alternator modified to add the wire into it.

Toyota 90 Series VZJ95R
PROS:
Toyota reliable,
CONS:
Toyota tax, gutless (apparently), fugly, IFS, will be older in my price range (around 1997 model)

Other pro for the Prado, although nothing that can't be easily rectified in something else, is they have dual tanks standard, so have a large ...

Whats the first couple of letters of the report number. That will at least give the initials of who did it. Then someone here should recognize who it probably is, or dig through the list on the RTA site to find someone with those initials.

GQ LWB needs tyres...currently running 265 75 16, have access to 265 70 16.

will that make any difference really...5mm to sidewall?

There's more then 5mm difference, it's closer to an inch difference in overall diameter. Effectively stepping from a 32" (265/75R16) tyre to a 31" (265/70R16).

If you only have one side plugged in the only parts which are working beyond their 10A rating is the socket contacts (same as 15A GPO)

Some 10A GPO's have the same internals as their equivelant 15A GPO's, but not all of them do.

and the switch contact which is rated to switch 10A on load. You ...

Easiest way is to grind the earth pin down and just stick it into a 10 Amp GPO or swap the plug with a 10 Amp one. The only difference between the 10 and 15 Amp plugs is the earth pin which carries zero current during normal operation anyway. If there was an earth fault in your welder your earth ...
