Re: WARNING: TOUGH DOG RTC not so tough, design floor check

Re: WARNING: TOUGH DOG RTC not so tough, design floor check

any RTC damper is a bodge up. Fix your steering geometry properly. They should be illegal. Who said there was anything wrong with the steering geometry, I had no prior experience with steering dampers to now to be perfectly honest, as the triton didn't have one, and to be perfectly honest, despite ...

They use a larger width eye, and that's how they intend it to be mounted, underneath with a side load on a bolt. in ...

Re: 100 series wheel stud pattern, what else fits?

Might be a bit late, but believe you'll find F100's share stud pattern, however you could guess on the offset side of things, even land cruiser and patrol 6 stud are different offset and ifs or solid when 5 100 series 5 stud. also due to brakes, I doubt you'll be able to go 15's just find some body ...

Re: 4wd not engaging

I'm assuming you are turning the hubs to lock?
Super select is for auto hubs for on the fly shift into 4wd I gather you don't have it if you have manual hubs.

V6 Triton auto - manual conversion possibly diesel

G'day guys I have a v6 triton with 440 k's the motor still plods along but probably a bit tired and more importantly seems to have quite a substantial leaking issue, but more importantly the automatic has a problem with the pump, so some days plays up, sometimes runs alright, it may be repairable ...

Re: Powdercoat vs 2Pack

Powdercoat should not flake of if this is the case then something is wrong with the adhesion to the base metal. This can commonly occur if the powdercoat is under cured. Usually this should not occur in the case of powdercoat it should be more durable over 2 pack. The advantage of 2 pack is that if ...

Oh I thought I posted up the age, but mine a 97 model MK
97-06=mk
So it sounds like it could work.
your probably right by when they upgraded the motor, as they gave it masive revamp around01-03 eg facelft etc.

I'm putting on the later tailights and front end on mine.
