Re: 4WD Craption Bull Bar test
That was one of my gripes about the test. They said you needed a suspension upgrade on that model hilux because the front dropped more than 10mm when the bar was fitted. I think that bar dropped it 13mm from memory. Since they didn't say how much the bar actually weighed, how can you tell what ...

Re: 4WD Craption Bull Bar test
In their words - "We got 13 of the best bullbars from seven different manufacturers" - not sure how they chose them, or if that was just the manufacturers that wanted to play. Bars tested were: - TJM Deluxe - TJM T15 alloy - TJM T15 fleet - Ironman Commercial - ARB DEluxe - ARB Commercial - Opposite ...

Re: 4WD Craption Bull Bar test
The five posters (steel AND alloy) got the gong for strongest, but they got let down by craptacular approach angles. The TJM got it overall, but there was a whole paragraph about how close it was with the ARB one.... Personally I didn't like the article. They gave lots of pictures showing you how ...

I know on the front shaft you can just pull it apart at the slip joint and use the old uni/flange on the diff end. For the rear, I think you are able to turn the shaft around backwards, so that the slip joint is at the rear (you get better clearance too, apparently) and do the same thing - pull it ...

The fuel control on mine will play silly buggers occasionally and get stuck on "overfuel" (it goes to overfuel for starting) so when I put my foot down in traffic it belches smoke out the back. However, being unburnt diesel, it's all BLACK smoke. Mind you, when it's hard to start sometimes it will ...

I have a 1980 HJ60 that came with the 4 speed box, which I swapped out about a year ago for a rebuilt 5 speed and transfer. The 5 speed is an overdrive, all 60 diff ratios are the same at 4.1:1. So no towing in 5th or the like because they have been known to drop 5th when abused. The rest of the ...
