If you are going to run split rims, then you should learn how to break them down and repair a puncture. Otherwise, just run regular rims unless you are just after 'the look'. I run them in oz on my patrol there and for the oz bush it is really...

And for future searchers... The OP picture of wiring - do *NOT* use scotch locks for 'tapping' into wires and even more ***NOT*** for external wiring in weather/mud etc. They work until they don't and become a corrosion nightmare to the wires...

Those are not recovery points on the ARB.

I generally run 10awg or 8awg. *BUT*, I have always lopped off the connector/plug on the fridge (did to Engel and also to my ARB) and put on an sb50. Nothing like overkill. The connectors can often have poor contact and high resistance...

Thanks George, thankfully i already Have it! I was always going to get the arms, but was going to run the plates a little bit and save up. But oh well. I’m excited regardless.

Good choice. Get their rear panhard bracket as well if you don't already have it, given you are lifted - makes a significant difference not having the rear wag the dog. cheers, george.

You could also contact Delta V to look at their radius arms to do what you're looking for. https://www.deltavs.com/all-products/fj-fzj80-lx450-high-clearance-caster-correcting-front-radius-arms

agreed, if this is how my water pump looked with Toyota LLC 50/50mix when its bearing went south at 475,000km then i see no reason to put snake oil in there

Easy to make your own 'bung' to keep the crap out. Get a fitting (female coupler), get a 'plug', drill hole through end to attach stainless safety wire so you don't lose the 'bung'. Couple of o-rings to fully seal and you're good to go. Had this...

Not normal

All comes down to maintenance that has been done. i.e. all coolant hoses, transmission hoses, brake lines, fuel lines/hoses, lubrication, etc. Brake pads etc. Belts. Basic toolbox with what you would need to replace a hose or change a spark...

I'd like to see the testers show the level of EMF's that are emitted while sitting in the Tesla. The videos I've come across show EMF meters measuring EV's emitting the same radiation levels as sitting directly in front of a microwave. And these...

Hey folks, Just thought I'd share my experience running skinny tyres on my 1995 80 Series Landcruiser. I know there's already too much garbage on the internet about this debate - so I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. Just adding...

Sounds good. I've run 7.50r16 and the last 15+ years 235/85r16 on my ancient patrol (in oz). I've not ever felt that wide tyres would have enhanced anything. Those skinny tyres have taken me through a LOT of WA and some of NT/SA. Lot's of desert...

^ you don't understand, it's a french made shock with oleo :) cheers, george.

4" lift, do you have a DC shaft at the front end? And yes, pull the shafts and check uni's by hand. Also check slip joints. And as was asked, have you pumped grease into them - and if so, did the sound change in any way. Leave the front shaft off...

^ you are not 'losing' 1V every 12 hours. LiFePO4 batteries (well, most batteries) will 'float' at a 100% charged voltage that is NOT the same as what the charger is 'topping' up to. e.g. your alternator will charge your starting battery up to...

Replace all the hoses you can - if one split/died, many of the others must be of similar vintage... Get better hose clamps too or some self tensioning ones. cheers, george.

^ Well, if it's that horrendous when coming to a stop at a couple of mph, just get a volunteer (or have one drive) and you can just fast walk along with the 80 as it stops and identify the area making the noise. At least narrow it down to a...

None of them did.

It would be from the rear, but verify that the BIG panhard bolt that holds the panhard to the DV bracket is not nicking/rubbing/hitting the DS coil when it cycles up/down. The clearance is tight with the Dob dual rate coils - tight to the point...

So, lots of changes. WHEN did the 'noise' actually start in this adventure down the rabbit hole? :) cheers, george.

So, you bought shocks for 6" lift? And you are trying to use them with J springs that 'may' give you 4". You should purchase shocks that provide the up/down travel you need for the springs you are running. This gives a balanced articulation...

Great news, you can still get these. For whatever reason these aren't sold on alibaba anymore. However I found a bunch of listings on eBay and one expensive one on amazon. I went with the eBay one. Here's the specific ad I bought: Pardon Our...

For what it's worth - I have kept a copy of the PDF on my laptop for a while now. Whether it will help, no idea. Can't hurt to try. cheers, george.
