Often you will see late model Theft recovered 4WDs from around $4K

Thanks
It is a turbo diesel . It supposed to be reconditioned unit but so far nothing but problems.
For some unknown reason engine looses oil and spits it out all over
the engine bay. Thru turbo somehow I believe.
Any reason why would this happen ?

What's the meaning of C223 on Jackaroo T/D motor ?
Is this 2.2 or 2.8 litre T/diesel motor.
Looking at 1986 model Jackaroo and since the motor is not original
we trying to workout what is the size of the motor.

Sydney's roads

I have Ranchos RS5000 on my Rocky Sportswagon. I had original Daihatsu shocks before. Installed Ranchos and it sees that ride comfort is gone backwards. Rougher and stiffer on normal roads and I feel every bump.Cornering has improved and there is less roll but thats about it. On dirt roads really ...

Not sure about Feroza. Rocky Widetrack came with IFS and coil at the back. Pre march 93 or narrow track came with leaf at the front and back. There is huge differance in driving comfort between the two. Narrow is rough as guts and Widetrack is softer and more comfy. If only Daihatsu decided to go ...

Hey RockyMan, those two rocky's are one and the same, and that car yard is nearly a wreckers, you would have to spend up big on their cars, or use them on the farm. Note that they don't quote K's. Stay away QLDGAL You could be right but you also could be totally wrong and miss a bargain. Its bit ...

He asked for GOOD looking snorkel INSTALLED and CUSTOM MADE. Hell.. I tried to get one made up for my Rocky and cheapest was $750 (stainess steel) installed. That's if anyone want's to touch it in the first place. Anyone can get a PVC pipe and bend it for $60 but it would hardly be good looking and ...

Anyone got a snorkel made by a business in brissie??? I just want a good looking snorkel made and fitted so i dont have to go cutting holes in my car. How do you get the snorkel to the airbox without cutting holes? I think that he does't want to cut holes himself. One thing for sure - it will cost ...

Visited Pilbara area last year in my Rocky . You won't see many Jeeps, Discos,Paj or Jacks there . Lots of Toyotas of all kinds Nissans and Rodeos. Diesels rule and when you hit the long distances you will know why. Cannot go pass 80series diesel LandCruiser or 100 series if you can afford. You ...

Hope this helps but only place I could get Airflow snorkel thru was Toyhatsu Wreckers in Melbourne. Place that makes Airflow snorkel is in Dromana ( 60kms south of Melbourne but they don't sell to the public). They don't make Daihatsu Rocky snorkels on massive scale and its really one off jobs as ...

Rick
You can still get Airflow snorkel for 85-93 Rockys.
My is a widetrack ( wide flares) Rocky so I addopted Airflow snorkel from NissanGQ. It does not fit perfectly but it does the job .

[But, of course, why do I care, cause I got
Diff locks, diff locks,
Front and Rear diff locks


Ok Bundy.
What sort of diff locks have you got ?
I would consider one for the front as I already have LSD on the back.
Give me a rough idea how much it would cost to fit one ?

I have delt with Toyhatsu and also with Daiparts in Breaside and found both very good.

Another ignorant question . Can you fit LSD from Rocky to Feroza ?

Sorry if this sounds stupid and I never owned Feroza but I was under impression that most of the parts were the same or similar .

Ferozas don't come with LSD at the back ??????
Isn't LSD standard ???

Both Rockys I owned had LSD standard at the back?

I found that most of my electrical problems are related to trailer plug.
Round or flat - you get some mud or water and the fuses go bang, bang specially with indicators , stop lights and horn.

You can fit Ford F100 rims on Rocky and the body is galvanised as it is with Feroza.

94 Rocky is just what I got and getting one for that price is good value.
Since Aug 93 Rocky came with only one spec (4 colours) .
2.8 Turbo Diesel intercooled (75Kw), Air, IFS and coil on the back.
Average fuel consumption is around 10l/100kms.

Let me know if you need any info .

Surprised is the word. Had similar issue with Jayco camper trailer. Brake shoe overheated and was destroyed near Shark Bay in WA. Tried to fix the brakes without success in all the towns along the way until we got to Darwin . Brakeman relined them which took few days. Lesson - we have it really easy ...

If you got trailer plug check that.
Removed it , disconnect all the wires and leave them loose.
Put new fuse and try indicators.
If they work then you have a short circuit on the plug connectors.

Bloody Excellent.
That's what I'm after, great photos too.
Thanks Rick.
I guess its just matter of finding right rack and get some
place that welds Alluminium to modify it to suit Rocky.

Stu.
It's similar setup with 10 chrome knobs ( 5 on either side).
How would you use them to attach roof rack ?

Thanks Rick .
That's what i'm really after. Send some photos.
Any idea who made the rack ?

Murcod - thanks mate but that style will suit only the
SWB Rocky with whole full gutter metal roof.

Is LSD same in Feroza as it is in Rocky.
If so there should be heaps of them as LSD came standard on Rockys.

Applause came in 4wd version in Europe so there must be someting in it.

Rockys were modified also in Europe with V6 BMW engines by some company in Italy .

Thanks for all replies. Now is just the matter of getting a best design. I like aluminium because of light weight but on the other hand steel would be much easier to fix or work on. I want full length rack but still would like to use the sunroof so it means that roofrack would have hole above ...

I'm thinking of putting a roofrack on my Rocky. Two kids take back seat space and don't really want to pull trailer. My only concern is the plastic roof. How strong is it really? I want roofrack to run from above windscreen to the back doors. I would use it for camping gear, spare tyre, swags etc ...
