    2" receiver hitch

    Catching up on posting some older projects - I wanted to add a 2" receiver hitch on the 80. To save a little time and effort, I got a witter tow bar to use as a starting point. Cut away the tube to fit the receiver box section, and left a big chunk of the blade in place while I welded that in...

    Front tracking / toe

    Working my way through maintenance on this 80, and finishing up a front axle rebuild, this seemed like a good point to check and adjust the toe in. Turns out rear discs fit nicely, inside out, and give a good surface to clamp some box section to. I marked the box section centre, and 44cm either...

    fitting a 100 series rear locker actuator to an 80

    Not sure how useful this is ... Needed to replace the rear locker actuator on my 80 and had a brand new 100 series one to hand. They're almost the same - the 100 series one has an extra bash plate stud, different breather location, and different electrical connector. Only the electrical...

    Solar panel rewire

    I wanted to be able to use the solar input of the CTEK dual DC-DC charger with my new folding solar panel but the panel is supplied with it's own controller hard wired that won't switch on until it sees 12v across its output terminals which means it won't work with the CTEK. I'd had a good look...

    UZJ100 immobiliser fault

    We suddenly had an immobiliser issue this week and no amount of fiddling with the fuse, jumping it, hitting it etc would make it work even briefly. There's a lot about this on ih8mud but I can't find any threads with an immobiliser fault where the fuse box isn't implicated so I figured I'd take...
