    Group buy - 80 series rear tailgate decks in stainless or aluminuim

    It would need to be between the parties to the contract i.e. Chris and the supplier..

    Group buy - 80 series rear tailgate decks in stainless or aluminuim

    After all this time I doubt that the supplier has any serious intention of delivering our products. I don't know the supplier, but the facts seem to speak for themselves. May be time to consider taking this through the small claims court. The process is very simple, the judge will without a...

    The General Grabber AT?????

    I have had both BFGs and AT2s and find very little difference in performance, but the AT2s have lasted dramatically longer. AT2s are also are less prone to being carved up by sharp flints on my N Africa trips. I run 285/75R16 and unfortunately you can't source these in the UK now so I have to...

    A Squeak?

    So there we were, driving through Compton with the top down, when Kate says 'do we have a squeak?' Bear in mind we are in a fairly new SLK rather than a truck.... So we pull over to investigate and immediately a head pops up from under the bonnet behind the tax disc and looks in.....

    Sorry, all stripped out now and new tank in place

    80 series long range tank

    That's probably the one Chris, although not quite Siamese. The filler feeds the Aux tank directly which fills first, and there is a full bore connection from the top of the Aux tank to the main tank. The fuel is drawn from the Main tank as usual. The fuel gauge remains untouched, and therefore...

    LED Sidelights

    Thanks Steve, but what spec of bulb? There are so many different types of 501 and its not clear which will work best.

    LED Sidelights

    I'm sure that I've seen a post somewhere, but can't find it. Do we have any recommendations for LED replacements for sidelights? I now have brilliant white HID headlights, and quaint yellow sidelights. Thanks

    Alarm/Immobiliser fobs -

    Hi Chris, The system works fine on the keys, so I don't really want to rip the whole system out if I can avoid doing so - just to get a couple of fobs. If I can find someone to re-programme the fobs are you happy to let them go?

    Alarm/Immobiliser fobs -

    According to Mr T my 80 has a factory installed TVSS2 alarm/immobiliser. Apparantly 'TVSS' stands for Toyota Vehicle Security System - you learn something new every day..... Unfortunately I bought it without any remote fobs, but would like some. Mr T doesn't supply them anymore, and they used...

    Chris Knott inquiry

    What a complete waste of time CK are. Firstly, they only deal with ONE insurer (Hi Way) that will accept modified vehicles, so they are not able to give best advice across multiple insurers. Secondly, someone stole our 20 year old Defender in October last year, so despite having 10+ years NCB...

    Where are we heading?

    LC 78/79 are still being manufactured, and are available in many parts of the world, so why not the UK? TGS in Gibraltar are supplying them to aid agencies world-wide, but won't sell to the general public. What a crazy world we live in....

    Grabber AT2 285/75 R16

    Yes, most had BFG A/T. Trip was very demanding on both driver and truck, but very satisfying. Already planning another N Africa trip for next year - possibly Mauritania? I'm not really a photo type guy - just enjoy the driving/scenery/culture.

    Grabber AT2 285/75 R16

    Just back from 3 weeks in Morocco/Western Sahara. More rock than sand, including a fair amount of flint. Everyone with BFGs found huge lumps missing and generally chewed up. My GG AT2s came back looking almost as new - which everyone commented on. If it wasn't for them going end of life in the...

    Grabber AT2 285/75 R16

    Bit of a conundrum really.... I don't like the idea of investing in more AT2s when they have gone end of life. Might be better switching to BFG ATs all round after my next Morocco trip, and seeing if anyone wants 4 part worn and 1 new AT2.

    Grabber AT2 285/75 R16

    Probably OK as a replacement, but I don't fancy mixing them on the same axle for winter driving.

    Charging Conundrum

    OK, so after much head scratching I still don't understand the whys and wherefores - everything seems to gravitate back to the mysterious control box/monitor. However..... in the feed from the control box to the solenoid is an in-line fuse. It appears that all I need to do to solve the solenoid...
  44. Andrew Brierley

    Charging Conundrum

    I already isolate the leisure battery from the solenoid when I charge it (due to solenoid heating up), and then when I connect either or both of the front batteries I get the same clicking problem.
  45. Andrew Brierley

    Charging Conundrum

    OK, here goes..... I have an 80 with two 12v batteries in the front, and 24v starting. I also have a leisure bettery in the rear. I have a T-Max split charge system which connects to the front o/s and rear batteries. All OK so far... I hope to not use the truck for chunks of time, so have gone...

    Window mod...battery drain.

    Iphone as a sat phone

    I have no direct experience of these sleeves. Whilst they appear to be an ideal technology solution, I would strongly advise detailed investigation into the call/data cost implications. iPhones are notorious for racking up roaming charges due to their hidden data traffic, and if this was then...

    Old man emu steering damper

    An interesting observation, but not one that I share. I found a noticeable difference on trunk roads in particular. With the old damper I had far more tendency to wander, but with the OME the steering is much 'tighter'.
