NSW 4wders

Post by Badass Bundy »

Gday,

I just recently permantly moved to Sydney from Brisbane for work. Thats the 1st problem....only kidding. :lol:

How do you NSW 4wders get roadworthy's every year if your fourby aint roadworthy? Yes I know the easy answer is to make it roadworthy but I aint got the funds.

Thanks for your input.

Sorry my bad. Problems include:

Leaking diffs
Leaking sump
Brakes are not even 20% working
Right rear brake light casing is broken
Rust
Free play in the steering
Tyres fit under the flares so shouldnt be a prob, same with the lift i suppose

do you really want to be driving around in an illegal and unsafe vehicle.

Save some $$ and get the problems sorted and get a proper rwc

Leaking diffs Where are they leaking from exactly?
Leaking sump Sump Gasket <$10 And about 10 mins
Brakes are not even 20% working Pads worn? Master Cyl? More info needed. This NEEDS to be done right and soon
Right rear brake light casing is broken How broken? As long as there is no white light showing through you should be sweet. Alternatively, buy some cheap ass trailer lights, wire and mount them temporarily until you get the real ones fixed
Rust Welcome to the wonderful world of older vehicles, a lick of paint and rust converter can do wonders though.
Free play in the steering This should be fixed properly regardless of cost. As with the brakes. They are two of the most important things in your car
Tyres fit under the flares so shouldnt be a prob, same with the lift i suppose
The things you listed really dont sound that bad but you will have to spend a bit of cash, particularly on brakes and steering. Usually leaks are just worn gaskets and are generally a snap to replace.
All that needs to be done for the sump gasket is the oil to be thoroughly drained and about 500 bolts to be undone and done back up.
A master cylinder or caliper gasket set are cheaply obtained but you will need access to compressed air for the caliper piston. If you have drums they are easier IMO to work on.
Ring around the wreckers for the taillight lense and dont be afraid to haggle, it might be cheaper than you think.
Light rust usually needs a good sanding, application of rust converter, and a once over with the rattle can. If its a cheap, shitty 4wd. WGAF what it looks like.

Once again, please dont look for the easy way out when it comes to your brakes and steering. 4wds are expensive, deal with it or buy an excel. Shortcuts are all well and good but your messing with everyones safety leaving that shit alone.

Does your truck already have NSW rego? Or is it QLD rego?

If it was previous QLD you will need a blue slip, not a pink slip.

Tail lights are pretty cheap on ebay and the steering box can sometimes be adjusted to fix the sloppy steering. It sounds like a lot of your problems could be fixed fairly cheap with a bit of effort.

I get away with the play in my steering by arguing that the "high profile flexible tyres" give the feeling of play. Works every year....so far. (Its going in tomorrow for rego)

But most steering boxes can either have their backlash adjust by an adjustment screw or shimming.

And the brakes :shock: :shock:

Good luck with the rest of it . . .
