DIRTY ROCK STAR wrote:what sort of vehicle is it?

i know old 40 dashes and the like dont have demisters. they seem to pass alright.

it's in a 45, but the thing'll prob have to go over the pits rather than just a roadworthy, fibreglass cab swap been done

another thought I had was a bilge blower from a boat ??

Get your self or look in a Australian hodrod magazine or the CRUIZIN magazin and you'll find what you need for around $88 it just does both side windscreen i use them in my hotrods and do pass roadworthy cause thats what they meant for. I'm away from my magazine for a few week yet otherwise i would ...

don't worry about drop shakles, just track down some TSR 9" shakles..........

have a CAT one on our old navara, I don't believe they work that well, (ask mud4b how my truck looks now) better off saving the $$ and get a spray on and keep her oiled, wash her well after every trip and keep spraying the rust proofing on every year or two. I did alot o kays up the beach here and ...

cheers guys, will pick up one o the mags and check it out

hey gang, looking at a few options for a front demister for rego, I believe you just need air blowing onto windscreen, found these on fleabay, you reckon either of these would work? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280478549357&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_974wt_754 http://cgi ...

contact ozeast fibreglass, I know he's the only guy that can do a road legal 45 cab, he does 75 series panels, but might be hard to find a 75 tub

little thread hijack, but does anyone have an idea as to a MC or road legal way of setting up the correct bias for running LC calipers front and rear? also PM 80UTE -> http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=2658 I spoke to him a little bit ago and he could get some brackets for ...

was up there this morning, beach right up to DI is nice and flat, not too many people camping up there at the moment, so is pretty peaceful, as the other guys said, try to hit the rainbow side at low (an hour either side should be still sweet) to get around the trees that are down.

4x4joel4x4 wrote::it works fine except the battery goes flat after say 14 hours of non use what might that be? the battery is brand new.

gotta be a leak somewhere, is anything hardwired to the battery? you'll prob find there is something that is draining the battery

on my first lux, I chopped the chassis right behind the spring hangers and just welded a new cross member inbetween the ends (made of C channel), it passed a roadworthy after it was done.

you could look into the F-truck ones, like they use on the 40's

dare say it's just a late model fj60, the 62's were all turbo'd I think, ant ways this link might help

ray,how do u find the 60,s tilt column in your 40,i have a couple of spare ones here so may go that route with powersteering,even to the point of using the 60 series master cylider and breaks,possably diffs to 60's tilt is sweet, but in my 45 I cut the 60 steering tube and shaft down so as the ...

how would that run with 12 volt? does it just slow down or will it damage the motor?

I think it's about a 93 model, but managed to find the problem, was an earth leak near the battery, cleaned it up, re-did the connections and sweet as now cheers

need some help with the girl's car (it's not a 4by, but still hoping someone can help out) she's got a older barina, and last night went up the old's for dinner, on the way alls good, but came out after dinner and the headlights won't work. The park light's fine, and indicators work fine if no ...

dunno yet mate, the beast still hasn't made it out the shed been a couple o years in the build, got slack for a bit.

yeah I did shorten it ray, can't remember how much, here's a pic of the original vs shorten outer tube, also had the have the shaft shortened and resplined.

I used a 60 series column, now I got lights/indicators/wipers all on the column, only thing is the wiring, but it's not that hard to make it work.

you can see it in this pic, sorta

could just use the whole 80 chassis..................

I put VDO stuff in my shorty too & all but the speedo are easy to read. I haven't worried about it so much but you probably just need to change to globe in the back of the speedo to a brighter one if you can get one. I looked at that speedo when I was building mine but thought 300km/h was a bit ...

20th century...................

sweet truck, gotta love the tilting of the camera in pic 7 after the description

Why is it necessary to flip the shock tower and which selection of shafts will fit without shortening? you flip the shock tower to put the steering box in the right spot, scotto sent me the measurement of his box from the front of chassis, but I've lost it since, but you can get an idea where it ...

I'd be really interested in the legalities of that one too twisty, spoke to the boys @ eureka and it's $450 for the disc kit which has the studs, stud spacers, brackets and longer bolts in it (need to supply own calipers and rotors), but if the 60 swivel hub can be engineered it'd be a much cheaper ...

another thing, has anyone done the cut down fj60 swivel hub method and had it passed?

guys, done a lot of searching and have come up with a few bits and pieces, now this is for those who have had there rear discs on a 40 cruiser approved by transport. The 2 ways I've seen it done that appeal to me is 1 Hilux front solid rotors and calipers 2 40 series front vented rotors and calipers ...

can't remember how mauch, was a while ago mate
