Hi, Hi, probush now do a complete set of bushes for the 90 not chhep though. They come suplied with a special grease to stop the squeek.....I have had mine fitted for arround a year now still no squeeks. Steve

Well here is the thing we have ask the very same question many times but as of yet we have been unable to come up with the answer. Yes it has been done but the transmission is fussy about it's running tempreture and we have been unable to work out if the radiator as standard relies on the...

Yep they are fine if you are child sized and you do not plan to put anything heavier than your dinner plate on it they are fine...........oh and you do not mind eating of the floor cause that iswhere your food will end up after the stool has collapse for the third time and you have kicked the...

Hi Joe If you have access to TOYODIY you will find the diferent ones there. Steve

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but your greasing problem is to do with the oriention of the U/J spider if memory serves you have it the wrong way round. The nipple needs to be to the rear ie if you look at the 5th photo you have the joint open and the face that is showing of the UJ spider is...

Just a quick one the UJ s from milners are not long lasting the ones that I have had only lasted a year about 20000 miles. So I now use toyota ones again. Steve

Can't remember off the top of my head but I think that it is in the pasenger foot well. I will have a look in my books and get back to you. Steve

Well done and you are right those longer ones did look very badly made, which leads me on my question on the same theme. As some of you know I have had a 40mm lift and I have just snapped my third drop link......now like you Fridayman I have ordered longer ones and I have to say that I would...

Could be several things including the Transmission ECU, my first question I would ask, as it has been in the work shop and the 2nd gear pull away was working before it went in and not when returned to you. Would be what work was done in the work shop and maybe start there. Steve.

The metal paste is normal especially if the oil has not been done before. If you have metal filings then there may be trouble ahead as these have to of come from somewhere. Clean the mag plug re-fit and if you have any concerns then repeat the oil change and see what you have after a few miles...

The photo looks fine that is the slider section and thats pretty much as they look. How ever, looking to th far right of the photo the U/J's look dry, give them a good greasing and try again. I have just had the same on mine, vibrations at around 50/60 and was the U/J's, I re-packed them with...

Bow

I think that they have moved on. Again I logged on tonight and I am straight in no problems. Steve

Not sure what they are trying to do but I have just logged back in and I have had no trouble this time. So what ever you are doing Crispin is working. Steve

Well all that I have done is given her the OME 40mm lift which is still within Toyota spec. I got the lot from Devon 4x4 and I have to say that it is the dogs dangelys :clap: But having said that you will find that the standard Toyota set is very good. the pictures of her in the sand pit are...

Form printed off.....cheque signed......so will be posted tomorrrow. Hope I am in time and if so will see you all there. Tony, will not need a map as I have just found the one from last time..........sorry..... and I have a new axe cover for the axe :oops: :oops: Steve

Sorry I have not read all the posts but if you are looking for a Colorado Somerset County cars have just taken delivery of an 01/02 one in blue. I have had a quick look round it and is solid. I have not tested the diff lock but it appears to be intact. It is so new that they have not yet put it...

Thanks for the help guys, I have been underneath the old girl and I think that I have found a spinning cup. This may mean that I have a UJ on the way out so could be the problem, I have witness marked it and will re-check in a week or so. Steve

No it does it during the lead up to gear change and after the change is complete. The gear change it self is as smooth as silk. Steve

Yep all the stainless exhaust places do them they make them up as required from scratch it will cost about £450 for one. Steve

Guys, This one is for you auto box specialists out there,.. In general my box is fine it has done 175000 miles now and has developed an odd habbit. On the Colorado it has an overdrive and when it changes from one gear to the next it uses the overdrive chambers as a cushion for the main change...

Paul, Is that the train horn. If it is when you have fitted it I would love to come take a look and listen. Steve

I think that is about as deep as you would want to go........great pic and it goes to show how good these trucks are, you winch it to the bank start it up and drive it home........ :clap: :clap: amazing. The only down side......that is going to take some drying out. Steve

Not sure if you can or not, I will try and find out as I will be going to see my local Mr T. at the end of the week. Steve

Yep thats the one, its hard to explain what I mean. But I found that when I did it up it started to pop the plastic arch off, the reason for this is that I had a...........altercation :evil: with a rock doing raid Asterix last year and I think that I have re-shaped the body some how and if I do...

That does look like a Warn copy, have never come across them before so can not answer your question. Steve

Yep they are a pain in the a##e, The only place that I have found is Toyota but they are not that expensive. There are two diferent colours, yellow and grey, I have not tested them for strength but could be that they are different. I just replace yellow with yellow and grey with grey. I may...

Here we go here comes the punch up............ :pray: :lol: :lol: On mine I have the Warn M8000 which is perfectly good enough for the job. Now I don't do competitions so speed is not an issue so 8000lb winch is fine. I do have 2 snatch blocks but as yet have only ever used one. The winch...

I don't know a bit of moisture made made it even more interesting.......I remember a certain punch on a hill, there I was flat out in second just to hold myself on the hill long enough for my co driver to get the punch, punch the card before we started the slide back down still flat out in...

Milner ones are fine, I have them on mine and no problems. I had to clean up a bit of machineing on the inside of one of them but no major issue just a bit of work with a file. Steve

Had to do the same with my 95, still looks good though, the only downside is that it gets very hot in there when both are turned on. Oh by the way it makes life easier if you take the heater control knobs of first before pulling because your face will probably be quite close to fasia when...

Hi there, On tight cornering on tarmac you will get wind up on the transfer box when 50/50 is engaged even worse if you have different size tyres front to rear ie new ones on the front and worn ones on the rear or vice versa. As for the rattle if a slight tinny one then may be disc back plate...

Sorry guys I am not going to be able to do this one. My Gran died recently so my parrents will be over here then as the familly is planning a big getogether around that time. I hope that you all have a great time and I will watch out for the reports when you get back. Steve

Yep that is the low level indicater, orange light of oil can with wavey line. It comes on when the oil level drops below the low level mark on the dipstick. It will come on when the engine is cold and after 5 mins of running may well go out again as the oil is thinner a circulates quicker, this...

You can make anything fit anything given enough time and tweeking :D . I suffer with back problems (the joys of being 6 foot 5) and have found that with the lumber support wound right out on the standard colorado seats is perfect for me. Steve

Are you talking about the lower shock bushes? mine is a 98 UK spec and they are just rubber and a doddle to do, the wishbone bushes are like the ones you describe only larger and are an arse to do and needed a press. Also all the bush kits that I have seen they show the the lower shock bush is...

The voltage does not mean that it is a healthy battery. It is the Amperage that does the work if you are showing 12.75 volts you could have very little Amps and thus will not start the car. A quick test if you do not have a hydrometer is to put the volt meter across the battery and turn it over...

Re: Pyrenees 2011, 29/05-04/06, planning Hi all, love to do this as I could tie it in with seeing my Mum and Dad as they live that way, Just a word of warning as goodoldboy has said areas are vey fussy about group size, 3 is usually the max. Be prepared to be stopped by the local police in the...

That looks nice and well made you will have to lets us know how well it performs. Steve

Thanks for that guys, I have orderd the extra duty one from D44. Chris, There were lots of little things that had gone wrong with the winch. First off the slip ring for the free spoil had siezed, this was due to the ingress of moister through the adaptor lever that I got with the winch mount...

Guys, I fixed the winch but whilst doing a service on the electrical system I found that the solenoids in the solenoid pack are degrading fast. Whilst looking around for new ones I found these http://www.devon4x4.com/index.php?page= ... &Itemid=14 Has anyone used one of these to replace the...

Yes I have gone to Warn and got the exploded diagram but it does not show the brushes and from what I can make out at the moment it is a sealed unit. I have done the flush out then fired in a bucket full of electro clean then flushed again then more electro clean I have put sealant on every...

Now I have to get my self some of those train horns.......I like......does that make me sad..............don't care I am going to get some. Steve

Have any of you guys taken the motor apart on the warn winch?. After the lack of perfomance of mine at Lincomb I have taken it apart and found that it is full of Lincomb orange. The gear end is fine and I have stripped that down and in the prosses of cleaning, however the motor end is full of...

Nope I just missed that one will keep looking though. Steve

Yep the same as mine, I even have the hinged number plate now. Here it is in action. This is it before the final alterations for the number plate and fare lead.

I am looking for NSF headlight with electric adjusters for a 1998 LWB Colorado KZJ95. Also by the off chance a NSF headlight for a 1998 Rav4 Both mine and the wifes have been attacked by pheasants andbroken the plastic lugs. Many Thanks Steve

UJ spiders are not very good..as I think we all know...from milners. The Rad that I got from them for my 95 seems to be good and solid...so far. But as others have said, they are cheep and in my experiance with none OEM stuff you pays your money and takes your chances. I am going to Roughtrax...

Jon, Went to see Chris Lincomb weekend and I am thinking of doing that week as well, just got to get it past the wife as We will have a new born by then. Like you there are some things that I would like to do, doing 'the rock' backwards is one Chris says there are four spaces left on that...
