They most certainly are!!!!!!

stick a turbo on her trev, even better idea, stick a LS1 and auto in her.

If its for competition use then why not go a custom set up!!! otherwise I run a DTS and love it but belive either are fine, main thing is the actual turbos, DTS use a water cooled Mitsubishi TD05 where Denco use and standard type Garret. From my investergation I found that the Garret is easliy ...

Also not going to make your day, I have done about 5 or 6 of these and every one of them strips the aluminium threads on the evaporator no matter what we did. So a new evaperator it will be!!!.

Ive got a dual cab 105 tojo so space is not really that big of a drama. Im really leaning towards the trailblaza!!!

Any one have prices for the evakool's???

I would say before you buy try to work out what the avg temps will be for the area your going then try to match up a fridge for what you needing.[/quote]
Average Temp range for Peppimenarti NT, is 35-39 deg.

It has done about 130000kms, I am guessing that $25000 is a good price?

If it is an 04/05 model and you don't buy it for that price, send it my way, that would have to be around $10k cheaper then what it's worth.

Especially is you chucked a solid front end under it like the boys from SLEE did ...

without a doubt trailblazer if you have the cash. after using them for 8 years in tanks in some of the hottest climates in the world, abused by everyone, dropped, kicked, stacked on etc, i have seen very few break down. they may be bulky but they are very robust.
Sweet, if the boys from Armored ...

Check out the Evakool range of fridge / freezers.
You have 2 choices with them between the original fiberglass models and the hard plastic ones.
Ive got the 60l fiberglass fridge / freezer and can't fault it. The Evakool ice boxes are known to have the best insulation out of anything on the market ...

Looks abit like the waeco's.

So the Electronic Thermostat is also a digital thermometer???

However I would also suggest you look at the evakool range as well.

sort of between trailblazer and the 2 others.

Are they fiberglass???

do you really need a digital thermometer? especially at those prices!!!

and whats the RRP of an equivelant waeco?
i have a waeco and its sweet but ive never gone to the tropics?
I havn't priced the Waeco yet!, It would be good to know what the temp is inside the fridge so if some thing happens I ...

Got a very long trip to the NT coming up at which I will be on a remote property hunting and fishing for nearly 2 months and I need to buy a new fridge. I have been mainly looking at the Trailblaza 70ltr and the Engel 75ltr Combie Fridge/freezer but am open to other brands as well. What are ...

If you are real fast, there is a 1hz bottom end on fleebay

the crank and rods are what you will be needing. You will also be chasing turbo shaft..the compresser blades fracture and break off, the shaft snaps ...

I recently fitted a DTS system to my HZJ105R and made the decision to go that way only because DTS use a water cooled turbo. I have never heard a bad thing about DENCO or DTS so I think either will be fine. I did notice a large difference in prices depending on place of purchase. ranging between 500 ...

From memory that is a safari manifold but dont quote me.

Post can also be up to 200°C cooler, not 10, however there is no definitive number.

Actually, that's a stock 1HD-FT manifold Dan ;-)

The temperature difference quoted is based on my experience ...

Any one thought about using a variable piston pump with the steering circut or another smaller gear or vane pump as the pilot??? This would make the winch speed variable!!!

In some cases post can be 10deg cooler than pre and post dosnt show spikes as well.

Stick it in the dump pipe. While most major engine manafactures (Cummins, Cat, Detroit) mount all their Pyro sensors pre ...

Mate tuff looking truck you have there! Im up in Queensland so we cant weild to the chassis! But all that work looks pritty pricy! i think i might just stick with the 2inch with 2inch shackels! seems to do alright now!

You can weld to the chassis, I personally like the 80 series chassis 75 series ...

I just fitted a DTS kit and a 3" beudesert system. Love it!!

Cheer's
I have a bit of time off during the weekend Ill measure mine up and see how close it is 4deg.

are you sure you know what bump steer is?

This is where when the wheels moves up or down they turn. It is 100% due to steering gemoetry, not your caster.

By lifing the car 5" you have made your relay rod run down on a more significant angle.

This means when the wheel on the side where the relay ...

Was an ARB bar, not any more!!!! Winch frame is made of 6mm plate with some 8mm gussets and mounting renforcements. The top tubing and number plate mount is all the is left of the orginal bar.

Its is already fitted with a new 4WAY RTC and it still wanders and has bump steer. Probably help if the roads out here werent so bumpy. I still want to check my castor, so could some one please answer my question and let me know if I am correct in saying that the castor angle should be 1.5 deg, if ...

I can't find the workshop manual for my HZJ105R and need to make sure that it has the correct castor angle. 1.5 degres rings a bell, but not I'm certin.
My 4" tough dog kit has givin me a shit load of bump steer even though it has 3 deg castor bushes. The kit is a HD kit and I suspect that it ...
