how are you guys bending these tie rods? on rocks and logs?

Is there any way you can put a spacer in to get your tie rod any higher? Would it be possible to make a guard which mounts off your diff to protect the tie rod? surely we can get around the bandaid fixes and eliminate the problem ...

for interest sake, Warn appears to have brought out Magnum or have always owned them under the other name. Check out Warn's new budget series. www.warn.com

i'd pay the dosh and get a brawn, everyone seems so happy with the product.

oh ok, sorry about that, will try that soon.
cheers

Hi Guys,

thought some people may be interest to see how I did my ladder bar, its almost identicle to what superior engineering sells. If you don't have the skills or patients I recommend buying a premade one of Mick. The hiem joint ends cost me $50 each and the steel (32NB) was $60 for 6.5m of ...

which is faster, running a 12v winch or 24V in the same class of winch? the Warn web site says the 12V pulls at 38ft/min while the 24V pulls at 27ft/min in the xd9000i. When looking at the T-max web site the 12v pulls at 29ft/min while the 24v pulls at 41.7ft/min in the EW-9500 class.

am i ...

yer that makes sense, that rings a bell now you mention it.

Anyone know if you can fit those adjustable brake bias valves in place of these, bigballsoffroad sell them $130. It is currently is my rear wheels that always lock up first anyway. I don't think the current bias is adjustable.

I have this cylinder on the chassis near the handbrake drum on my shorty MK which runs to the rear brake drums. I was wondering what it does? and if it's necessary? why don't the shorty MQ's have them?

(Screwy I started a new thread so I wouldn't bugger yours up)

cheers

probably a stupid question but what would a small amount of water actually do to a diesel motor if it enters via the fuel supply? I can't imagine injectors or pump being overly happy, however would it really stuff them? I doubt you'd get compresson lock up from water in the fuel.

I heard ...

Hi Guys,

anyone ever considered supercharging a SD33? There was a cheapish supercharger on ebay recently to suit a 6cylinder diesel motor. It claimed to put out 5psia. My thoughts where that the SD33T only runs around 7-8psia (i think, correct me if i'm wrong) boost when the turbo fully spins up ...

you'll need some flare rubber so as to not attract attention to yourself. 2" body and 2" springs will come close to fitting them i recon. you may need to trim the guards. You could look into extended shackles also, 2" extended will give you another approx. 1" lift. Make sure if you chop guards you ...

i agree with Big red, investigate the import shorties. Heaps getting around now days, pick one up for around 14g's , diesel with PTO winch, not bad...what dosh you wanna spend?

and if your throwing in a panard rod you may as well add a couple of coils haha coily MQ...we wish

sounds like you've got some work ahead of you, can you just adjust with spring wedges? good luck

cheers

oh sh*t, your right, it would be turning the axle backwards. That explaines it then. everyone else agree? so the diff angle looks ok, not to much?

thanks heaps Wendle, i wish i had asked earlier.

cheers

as i'm running broken back setup, wouldn't it have to wrap to the point where the diff was pointing down and out of the uni's range? which means a massive deflection, which i would have thought would have bent the springs?

Hi Guys,

I really need some help with this. I've broken 2 brand new rear drive shafts in the last week. Its costing me a killing. I'm running the broken back setup and it drives smooth and quiet on the highway upto 120kmph. Both times I have broken the rear drive is when doing hill climbs ...

nobody's answers the question of the mods to get your radiator 5 core. What do they do?

cheers

could you be running far to much castor? doesn't your steering normally get twitcher as castor increases? So a small shimmy could be causing masive probs? just a guess, probably no merit.

I'm running origional castor, ie. my spring perches are parallel to the factory ones, puts the front drive ...

sounds like the radiator option may be the go. Out of interest what do they do to make your radiator a 5 core? I thought all they could do was a chemical clean.

cheers

Anyone put a oil cooler on a SD33T? Would it be worthwhile? I heard its the turbo's heating the oil which cause the temps on these motors to get so high.

cheers

i hope for my sake your wrong...

there must be an explaination for it!!

ballancing your tires?

hey screwy,

strange problem, not to sure why your getting that, mine is driving excellent now I have the dampener fitted. One thing I did do is remove the shims (top and bottom) between the caps below where you mount the hi-steer arm (king pin hat?). I did this because my knuckles where very easy ...

thinking about it, if you can't weld I wouldn't bother attemping this mod, there are many little niggly things like shock mounts that need time to setup properly.

I'd go buy a shitty GMC $99 joby stick welder and learn the basics, That welder will do everything you need to do to complete this ...

i payed $150 to get me drive shaft lengthened. Playing around with the leaves is sometimes a case of trial and error. Just get an oxy kit to open up the spring clamps for you and the rest can be done with a spanner, once your happy with the setup close the clamps again...or for insane flex leave ...

Hi Guys,

I need to get a new manual locking hub for my 84 MK patrol, will one off an MQ patrol fit?? Did the axle splines differ between models?

cheers

Anyone purchased new manual locking hubs recently? The ones on my MK patrol are playing up, What price am I looking at to replace new?? Whats a good price at the wreckers to pay??

cheers

is the socket definately 54mm? I've found this one on ebay for FW bearings, its 2 2/32" which is approx. 53.18125mm, so close but often enough so far away. Only US$6, so cheap.

Kingy would this fit? for $10AUS i'll grab one

thanks guys,

i'll dismantle the hubs tonight hopefully and look for the problem. I would be thrilled if thats all it is, last thing i want to start doing is dropping out tranfer and gearbox.

I am suprised I must say, I wouldn't have thought a spline could cause such a hard loud clunk without ...

Hi Guys,

need some help, I broke my rear drive shaft today, I know why and can sort this problem. However while limping home I discovered another problem which may have been around a while and gone unnoticed. When the vehicle is under load, often in 3rd gear going up a tared hill I loose power to ...

here's the truck not flexed and what i did to the shock mount this morning, now it doesn't hit at full flex. No shock hoops as yet, may have to do something, although the leaf doesn't seem to be hitting the bump stop at full flex as yet, so shocks aren't bottoming out as I thought. Going for a play ...

thanks for the tip offroad industries, i had thought of that however had so much trouble getting a tappered hole drilled in my hi-steer arm I didn't want to have to repeat things. I'll see how I go and get if done if i need.

insurance is out the door, i know.

on another note, how good are ...
