Where is Damkia these days ?
I think you should go down the Feroza path. Than when you have a better vitara, you will be able to stand tall as a trail blazor.
Of course if you fail miserably we will all say,"told you so "

Hi FMX,
1.3 CV's will fit. they are bigger and stronger as we said earlier in this tread. But I don't know if the axle splines are the same.

Last time I drownd mine, I changed all the oils etc but didnt think about the steering box. When I replaced it because it was jamming up, it was full of water.

It will fit, BUT, you need to look at size of the drive shaft flanges. These can be swapped over in most cases. Is yours a Maruti ? if so, check out the "Stupid Maruti thread".

I have broken 2 super cheap pitman pullers. I had to cut mine off with a dremal. Standard pitman arms can be very hard to find.

rtc= return to centre. He's talking about the steering dampner.

' cause they've got MUD.

I have EFS in my LWB Maruti. The springs are Good, but not perfect. The rear leaves are too long, but this was fixed by extending the shackles by 30mm. My two inch lifted springs was more like four inches over the old flat springs. Mine has a steel Bull Bar and winch and the rears often need to ...

Yep, came out on the Discovery 2.

Gee's People, its his money. I do see merit in the power steer pump, expressly if it was electric driven. The oil could be still be flowing if the engine should stall. But as no one else does this (read manufacturers) and they don't have problems and he is only going to run low boost, it would seam ...

Check the axles U-bolts are tight.

So is that you or Pinky in the photo ?

Thanks Bron.

29" = 27" on most tyres
BFG muddies, 30" and 31" are the same diameter. really 29"
Not sure about maxis, but would think close to real 31"
Something to think about.

Hmm, wonder if there is room for the handbrake.

Welcome, good to see you found the sticky by your self. If your new to Zooks than the steering will feel loose even when it is in good shape. Get lay80n to give it a look, he should sort you out.

depends on what your trying to do. You could just swop the internals, but if your after low gearing, there's not that much difference in low range( if any) its only high that will help you with bigger tyres. better off to get Calmini/rocky road gears. I have 4.1 Calmini (stage 1 ) High is the same ...

If anyone who has fitted a lock-rite to a 1ltre zook has a part number, could you please post it here.
Im about to buy one from Rocky road and just want to make sure its the right one.
Thanks.

I bought off Ebay. I got it quicker than anyone local could get it in. It had every thing and also came with new locking plates for the wheel bearing nuts. (mine where Kangaroo Edward ) had no problems except one axle seal poped out and I replaced with gen zook one. It could have gone back in ok but ...

ARB Moorebank, 103 Newbridge rd. OR ARB St Peters, 500 Princes Hwy.

Could be the thermostate.

Found this camper trailer in a 4bie Magazine. Has some great ideas built into it, but my favorite is the extending tow arm.

Thanks for your concern ajsr, I get what your saying. I will be replacing it ASAP.

Yep, not keen to drive it too much.
That must have been a solid wack you gave it to brake the steering box shaft. How did you get it home ?

Check te yellow pages, I seam to remember that there was a guy who would come to your home and fix it.

Who are you refering to Joe ?
I think most of us know what he's talking about.

Repco(Ripco) want fifty odd bucks for there pitman puller. Bought one and as soon as I started to use it, the leggs started to spread Took it back for a refound.

Ive broken a supercr*p pitman puller once before and the 3 leg dont fit. Ive got a 2 leg 3" puller and the bolts all bent and broke. Belted the life out of it and heated it. Still no Joy. :x In the end Ive cut it with a Dremell. Than welded the slice back up. This will be a temp fix till I chase ...

Your prob' right there Josh, but it seems to be the same on the LWB. Ive never messured a SWB and a LWB. The mounting points might be closer together.
