Specialist rigging and chain suppliers (eg. Nobles) will be able to supply appropriately stamped chain, as said by others, not stamped = not compliant. It is more than a little retarded given an appropriate size of short link lifting chain would be entirely suitable, but thems the rules in this ...

Cheers for the advice! It is pretty unclear. ADR 38 - which is national - states that the trailer brakes need to be adjustable and operable from the drivers seat - I interpret this as a control must be in cab. A company by the name of sureweld advertises trailer options for their equipment ...

This information is not correct in Queensland.

To answer the original poster. Yes, but only if the trailer has a GTM of 2 tonnes or under.

I wasn't charged for GST as the price of the tyres came in under $1000 but I probably should have been as the air freight pushed it over by around $300+. Regards Andrew. If the actual cost of the goods is below $1000AUD then the cost of shipping does not come into it. However if the actual cost of ...

Then, unless you've got an alternative means by which to comply with the full (eg. not section 4) requirements of ADR 38, I'd suggest that your trailer would actually be limited to 4500kg ATM. http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2007L02223" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Hope this helps.

you're more then welcome to come sus out my trailer, 3.5T unless I put on a 70mm hitch then it would be 5T

Is your trailer fitted with air brakes?

Don't suppose you ended up with the drum brake 80 series rear end laying around cluttering up the place? Just that I'm chasing one...

Yeah, we alo have all sorts of issues with mistakes by NEVDIS (eg. plates/chassis match, nevdis stuff up their side). Make sure you read the vin directly off the chassis (right hand side rail, outboard side, just behind the front axle line) as this is the number that matters. Let's say ...

I drilled and tapped my drum, although I did it while I had the winch in pieces reconditioning it. If access is okay I can see no reason you couldn't drill and tap with it in situ.

Replacement gearsets are cheap, not worth the hassle of risking another failure because you reused damaged parts. Either find a good 2nd hand centre to steal the CW&P from or just buy new.

crappy earth somewhere on the trigger side of the relay such that when it triggers, the voltage drops enough to drop below the trigger threshold, which means the voltage increases, so it triggers, so the voltage decreases, so it releases and so on. Go through the wiring looking at crappy connectors ...

The current queensland light vehicle code of practice section on fuel tanks can be found here In theory at least, at some point (allegedly this year, but allegedly last year before that and so on for about the last decade) VSB 14 will be adopted and become the relevant standard, the section ...

Nothing constructive to add other than as a BJ70 owner, I'd love it if you could get some pics of what a BJ70 on 40x17-15s looks like.

At those dollars, unless the car is a wreck you should be able to buy the whole lot and sell off anything you don't need to recoup the cost.

225/85R16? Thats a bit of an oddball size, you sure they're not 235/85R16? that'd be more common.

Rim options are basically the same as any other early 70 series cruiser, so FJ75/HJ75/FZJ75/HZJ75 ute or troopcarrier.

Hello, I have a number of 80 series Toyota Landcruisers and I'm interested in some speculative discussion on specifications and costings for building them into competition vehicles for use in winching events. My interest is specifically regarding vehicles which have been converted to a single cab ...

Nope, both 74s are LXs. 70 is base model. No holes in the dashboard or anything else to suggest they were fitted but later removed. I do note that my mate's bj73 LX has the pod, although there are other odd small differences you wouldn't expect between such similar cars. The two completely different ...

Nope, not all SWB and MWB cruisers have it. Neither my BJ70, nor my BJ74, nor my brother's BJ74 have it.

I seriously don't know why you've bothered with this lame attempt to circumvent the for sale access application process. It's simple and straight-forward to get for sale access and imho it's just plain disrespectful of you to try to sell your car outside of the rules. I'm sure a moderator will be ...

Make sure you've got the support systems right, so yeah, get your front mount in, make sure you've got a well-designed and big dump pipe and into a good free-flowing exhaust. Then either follow some of hulsty's advice on leaning on it harder, or take it to a reputable diesel tuner and get them to ...

If you don't have luck sourcing the 79 series airbox, then a 2nd option (seriously, go the factory parts if you can, makes life easier) would be to just source a mandrel bend of the appropriate diameter to match the snorkel, then trim it to shape to blend into the airbox. Then remove/patch or just ...

Can I also suggest to you that it is very poor forum etiquette to not search for existing threads on a topic (3 weeks ago!) before starting a new thread.

To elaborate on what Ray said, repositioning the rear (and front) axles on 40 series cruisers is a reasonably common modification. The longer wheelbase soothes a few of the foibles of a 90" wheelbase like fore-aft rocking and harshness. The most common option is a 60 series rear spring (big eye, so ...

By rights, it ought to be pretty straightforward. Toyota being toyota if you need to change some parts, chances are something off another model (eg. handbrake cable) will fit. Whereabouts are you, I'm not sure if we kept it, but I might have a stock BJ42 5speed rear tailshaft somewhere, I know we ...

Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me will come in with details, but you're going to need a pump (sounds like you already have one), a directional control valve, a cylinder with a big enough piston to create the required force at the pressure your pump is putting out (specs? 3000psi?), a ...
