Re: hj75 H55F gearbox issues

HJ/fj75 and HJ/FJ60 gearboxes are the same from 1984 to 1990. The HZJ75 then has the H55F but it had a fine spline front shaft where the 1984 to 1990 box had a coarse spline front shaft. cheers

Re: Flywheel Machining

Cheers, It is my understanding that if the fly wheel is not machined that the warranty is void if you need to claim.
It may pay to check this out, anyway.

Cheers, LOL, Is that your handbrake on the ground in front of the truck?
A shiela from work just bought a 2003 4 cylinder petrol ute and wants wide rims. As it is a 2wd does she still need to go to 4wd sunnies etc or are GXL rimes wider than the standard rim, Thanks.

It is my understanding that unless the tyre is marked by the manufacturer as suitable for re grooving that it is illegal to do so in Queensland. Are your tyres marked suitable, otherwise un roadworthy , defect, no insurance. If you only use is off road on private property , maybe you owe yourself or ...
