Been doing some work to the car in preparation for a trip this weekend. My mate is parting out his hzj73 so I scored a bunch off it.

-Sun visors
-Power winder switches, mine all work now!
-Washer bottle
-Dash pad with central POD, originally for the inclometer, I will eventually use it for more switches
-Pair of sports seats and rails
-Misc gaskets and bearings
-Tail lights and mirros which I go through alot of
-Maybe a spare roof later on

Also repaired a rear hub and bearings which were no good.


Also was cleaning up the shed and put this pile together, all knackered rear end shafts, lucky they are cheap and easy to fix!

What happened to the HZJ73? What is left for sale?

 

[Hulsty]

He had just had enough. Still has the driveline (minus longs and centers), 60 housings front and rear, suspension, complete body,wiring etc. What you after?

 

[dabasscow]

Just see what other options are around for an engine for mine

 

[Hulsty]

Been keeping up the wheeling.

I've just read your entire thread start to finish, very interesting and entertaining, thanks.

I love what you've done with your truck and love that you do hard trips!

I recognize a few of the tracks but not all of them. That Barkley River Jeep track is a good one, I drove that 18 months ago and had to do a fair bit of winching as the snow was quite deep.

I'd love to get on a trip with you guys some time as I enjoy driving the harder stuff too.

Hey mate thanks, where in Melbourne are you? Check us out.... Club is averaging a few drives a month of various trips, easy family stuff, hard trips all the way to off road racing. Got a few touring trips coming up.

Awesome thanks mate, will keep an eye out and hopefully get on a trip soon.

I'm in Blackburn but work in Boronia/Bayswater, so Eastern Suburbs.

Can you please elaborate on repairing these shafts. How do you repair these snapped shafts?

you don't.
Buy new ones.

This thread is way more interesting than TV for sure. Great 70 series. Countryside looks beautiful.

 

[Hulsty]

Yeah mate, shafts are no good, re-purposed as other things. I have heard of guys welding them in a pinch, which would work fine if you really need them.

Thanks CHAS404! Plenty of great country side and I only live in a small corner, much more to explore.
