Your SWB looks class. What's the trailer for? Camping? Yup, I'm with you there. I'm in the process of ordering a 3 inch dump pipe for my KZJ78 from mechanics I used to go to in NZ. Link here for others... https://www.kaiapoirepowers.co.nz/product/1kzte-dump-pipe-3inch/

Thanks Shayne. Mick W, the factory gauge won't tell you you're overheating until the water temp is v hot. That could be well over 100 C according to some with experience. An aftermarket gauge gives a digital readout of the live temperature. Bit of engine mgmt/protection for longevity. If the...

@Shayne Any chance you remember the internal diameter of the top coolant hose? Or the adapter you used ... Thanks

@goodoldboy sorry I've just seen your message as the tag didn't work. What was wood wedging? Was there a problem with the fusebox in the drivers footwell?

hey @graysworld can you please post more photos of your set up? i'm thinking about doing exactly this with mine and just need a bit more visual info if possible. Also, have you had any issues with the spacer? Love the idea of cutting down the original part!

Had a search around and can't find anything on other threads. My luck ran out and the copper spring has snapped while bending the springs back into place after I soldered the brushes on. Anyone know of how I could replace it? Or, does anyone have power locking hub parts lying around from a...

Hi @Ellie94 any tips for putting the tank straps back on? I've just taken mine off and can foresee having some issues. How did you find it?

@BobMurphy Thanks for the tip on those 8mm set screws to remove the drum. Those tips from 2010 really helped me out two weeks. All the best

So in the past few weeks I have: - Removed both prop shafts, cleaned them out and regreased - Checked the connections at the diffs and transfer box for play - Changed the front and rear diff oil - Changed out the front sway bar bushes No issues found and still had a massive clunk on gear...

@Shayne i meant where it’s been balanced prior to my ownership. Dropped the rear prop shaft tonight and the UJs are all freely moving and no issues there. Prop shaft splines are good (rememebered to mark them). I’ll grease it all up and put it back together and repeat with the front prop...

Brilliant, thank you. Had a look the other day and fairly certain it’s been off before - stainless bolts at one end and some patches where it’s likely been spot welded. Cheers again

@Shayne once I drop the drive shafts to change the UJs, am I going to run into any issues reinstalling it by hand? Just thinking that the sliding part of the rear driveshaft that takes out the slack will be putting a fair bit of force on the rear diff and transfer case, and I might struggle to...
