Yep both manual, Also has anyone ever done the brake swap from later model?

hi guys! Hope everyone is doing well and the trucks are doing even better. I’m sure there is a similar thread somewhere and I would greatful if you could point me in the right direction. However my question is - would the gearbox and diffs be interchangeable from a 1995 petrol 80 series to my...

thanks guys, I probably should have mentioned I'm running a fresh 75mm lift all round :relaxed: if I can score some cheap rims with a -13 offset then I will (-13 and -22 offset seem to be the most common) otherwise... I'm just going to go for it!!

feel free to direct me to the correct thread, but my question is - I’ve got a 1992 80 series and I’ve got the stock 31x10.5R15 rims and tyres on it, I’ve got my hands on a set of stock later model rims (16”) And I want to know has anyone used these rims with a set of 305x70R16s (or something...

I figured that may have been the case. I'm not that handy with a welder so I don't see myself re-inforcing Ahh well, at least for now I can see when I'm reversing!

I added some reverse lights to my factory bumper on the weekend (picture below). wasn't too much of a job, apart from I had to take the tow pack off to access the bolt holes for the lights., and upon doing this i thought to myself, I wonder if anyone has ever incorporated the tow hitch into the...
