Thanks Clive :) The Rock Nemesis buggy should be bigger, better and have a more experienced driver by next years competition too, keen for it but not keen for the many late nights work again haha. A Christine update, since i bought a car that weighs 2,000kg I needed to be able to tow it, so i...

Back from a lenghty period off forum, havent changed a lot on the 105 but i did pick up a comp truck RJ70 about a week after my previous post, which is the main reason the 105 has been living life on the sideline. Not sure if id bother with a thread of its own but if anyone wants to have a squiz...

Thanks Clive i will have a read through that thread :) A customer who comes in to my work pretty often is an Automotive Electrician and i asked him about my issue (he's worked on lots of 100 Series mine vehicles) and he said Ill need to replace the pump, as it is irrepairable and flush the...

Yeah I will just buy a replacement new one to fix my issue, but wouldn't mind tearing the dud apart to see what's happened and how they work. Yeah I believe so, not sure about the oil/refrigerant level though.. how would i check that? Okay thanks Clive I'll look into that so I can sort any...

Haven't done much on the big wagon in the last 2 months, but over the previous weekend i did a 1700km trip to Queensland and back to check out a car. Being Australia it was above 30 degrees celsius most of the time i was driving so i had the air con cranking most of the time and on my return...

Ah yep sorry i didnt see the post of the picture between your tailgate till just now, pretty tight tolerance :icon-surprised: I like the idea of having a drop down table on the back of the carrier, when i eventually get my carrier fitted ill have to make a similar table. I cant weld alloy, but...

With mounting your table in the upright poisition maybe look at something like putting an extra bit of ally pipe between the cuttent 2 and weld a 25x10mm bit of flatplate with a hole drilled out and then notch out a 10mmx3mm(plate width) hole in the table and use some sponge tape or rubber along...

Made a small bracket for my extended diff breathers, just back from the air filter box for the deeper river crossings I'll meet in future travels.

I own a 100 series with solid front diff (105 series) and i have front free wheeling hubs fitted and part time gear fitted to transfer case instead of being full time. Personally I prefer it, steering is lighter, yes you send all the power to rear so it cops a bit more but rear diffs are a lot...

Ah yeah i could imagine, my father owns a 1976 Holden and it's steering is like trying to pull up an anchor haha. That's good, besides the shaft snapping, I'm going to buy the kit shortly with all seals, bearings and the shaft included so hopefully it will last another 17 years. Also found a...

Oh bugger haha, atleast you found the issue easy i guess:dance: Ah okay well lucky they knew how to get it sorted for you in such short time. I've been lucky enough to so far avoid any issues out on the road requiring a garage stop.

I thought that if the stainless got hot enough it would still singe/melt the carpet beneath? My partner's 80 series has a food grade plastic cutout that bolts onto the rear drop down tailgate for a good food prep surface

Ah okay, how did you diagnose it as the flex pipe Clive? My P/S system leaks and as soon as i see some dusty roads, the whole side of the engine bay that shares my power steering setup is covered in a layer of oily dust. :| I was told to check the reservoir and pump that you clean it off, and...

Anyone know where to find a good detailed manual or page showing how to pull the power steering pump off a 1hz 100 series, have a repair manual at home and it only really shows the 'telescopic'? view of all the parts in order.. Has leaked power steering fluid since i bought it and have recently...

The light bar? I've already got it mounted on the roof, its running and sorted, just want to tidy my wiring for it as i done it in a rush and looks very untidy in my engine bay. As for glare, its far enough back that the roof blocks the light from hitting my bonnet so no glare issues in my...

Thanks again Clive, when replacing stuff I always try and upgrade it or keep it as good quality. Yea a few people said just replace the whole wire and aerial but talked to the right guy about how to repair it and it was a pretty easy and straight up job, glad I done it.:icon-biggrin: Next up...

Snapped the mounting stud on my Oricom aerial after I fit my new bullbar, plastic studs aren't great.. So went to town and seen an old fella who showed me how to wire up a new base myself. This is what I started with, snapped mounting stud :icon-rolleyes: Cut the old base about 2 inches from...

Thanks Clive :) Yeah my side wings sit about 25mm from my guards which i don't mind, a few roo collisions will probably push the back up so itll be good panel security anyway. The bar went on in 2 parts, the winch cradle section and then the bar goes over that. The cradle still had open ended...

Finished fitting up my steel ARB bar over the weekend. Painted the front trim and had a much better result as compared to the driver side front quarter panel i painted, but next time i need to buy a lighter shade of paint. The bar was abit of a pain but nothing few tools and my father's help...

Started work on fitting my new found ARB Deluxe bar yesterday after work. Here's my old bull bar on the front of my car, was abit painful to get off, it's obviuosly been off before as a few of the bolts were different types and had different heads on them, and whoever tightened it up snapped...

Yeah i called many outlets and none could tell me definitively so i went in to a store and asked and the fella there said the 105 bars didn't have them. I have just bought a Deluxe Bar, for the extra hoops as protection from Kangaroo collisions. Wombling, I'm only going off what i was told, I...

Thanks Clive. :) Yeah I'd seen plenty of setups with them the last 2 years and i'd gotten tired of carrying all my camping gear in plastic containers so i bit the bullet and got myself a set, 2 trips away so far with them onboard and its one of the best investments for camping i have made yet...

What hole centeres do the European 100's have? In Aus my front ones are 80mm apart, middle row are 80mm then 70mm to the 3rd bolt and rear set are 80mm. Ive made my own custom racks instead of buying because I'm a tight a..

Woot Woot, finally finished making my rear roof rack and mounting my new awning. Will take some pics over the weekend of the bar I made and the awning itself, which can double as my car's progress shot. I'm on the 105 series owners page on facebook and I used to check it out a few times a day...

Nice mod there Steve, I own a 105 series cruiser and ARB dont make a bar with the fog light provision for them, the bar only has blinker/indicators which is a bugger.

Sorry for slow upload time, just gotten new phone and my parents who took allot of the photos just drowned their phone in the pool. Trying to get pictures from "Apple Cloud"

No worries mate all in the name of info sharing :D

Thanks Ben :D Should have pics sorted for upload early next week, going camping and fishing this weekend. Thanks Chas :) I'll try and keep active to get my posts up to post links of my maps and handy info for the trip. :)

Thanks Clive :) didn't realise it had been so long since I'd posted haha. I'm hoping my 105 will be the last car I ever buy, I'm in love with it. Yeah myn is already a pain and I haven't even had it fully fitted yet haha, hopefully I can get it good enough to last as it was originally intended.

On the 10th of October my partner and myself in my HZJ105 and my parents in their 78 Series Troopy, adventured north to check out the sights and sounds focusing around the Cotton Bimbang National Park. I'd seen a few video's on TV shows and social media of the area and thought it'd be a good...

Still dont have pics on pc, i rarely ever connect my phone to a computer so i'll have to download the phone app that lets me post from my phone. In recent news, I have purchased a set of rear drawers with built in fridge slide and a 2.5M x 2.5M pullout awning. I fit up the drawers easily within...

First 2 pics are from just after purchase when i first got my car bogged, car was resting on bullbar and there was about a foot or water still below the tyre.. Picture of a tough hill near my home town, steep hill with 2x 2foot step ups about 1.5m apart Done a trail in some nearby state forests...
