Thanks Guys

Hi. I was wondering if anyone had the dimension between the two wheel arches in the tub, 4ft? I don't mind if its a d22, d40 or both? Mines got an alloy tray otherwise id measure it. Cheers

i would keep an eye on it still, i know when i was chasing a head for my zd30, it took 4 gos before i found one that wasnt cracked, and it was still warped, no 4 cyl seems to be the culprit. mine was cracked down the valve stem on the exhaust side exhaust valve, and the other in a similar area.

I'd say tyres, I had some cooper AT's on mine (never again) and in the wet / damp i could 4th gear powerslide at over 80km/hr up off ramps or on slight bends in the road, often unwanted slides, even off the power (very dangerous). Same as you say less fuel in the tank the worse is was, in the...

I welded a tab to my stock bar, bit of 1.5" by 1.5" alloy tab. Always disconnect the battery when welding on a vehicle.

Here are the photos been too busy to change there sizes. Sorry about quality, taken on a fone that i am still yet to learn how to use.

Yeh pretty well, that chart shows the factor that you reduce a slings capacity, so you do the opposite to would out what you are putting on it... Ask any rigger / dogman, the bigger your angle in a sling the less load you can lift, all due to bending moments and addition of moments, engineering...

gotta be carefull using equaliser straps. Dependant on the length of them as if the included angle increases the amount your strap can handle decresses, and the load on the tow points increases. It 's the same in rigging. Have a look at this... Rigging With Slings: Basic hitches, Working Load...

I wanted to keep the pocket above my radio free for things like my wallet and sunnies. I ended up putting the remote unit under the ash trays on the dash actually mounted to the gear stick shroud, can see it easily there and control it, no matter what gear im in, Plus i can change channel on...

Hi, I acquired a GME TX3420 UHF over the weekend, i now have to install it. I was curious as to how others may have installed there's if any one has one. Its got the main box then the remote head piece and then the hand piece. Thinking of where to mount the small remote head piece? Cheers...

I run 42 psi front and rear in my coppers, and get very even wear across the tyre, maybee 40 or 38 in rear if no load. Most places pump them up too hard because the average joe wont check his tyres between services. If you walked around a shopping center i guarantee 70% or cars would have some...

Thanks for that, yeh might have to pull em to see then, Mine is an '03.

Hi all, Can any one help me out and tell me the standard Body mount bolt sizes (Length and Dia.) used on the d22's, just the bolts for the cab? Thanks Pete

I've used those bullbar mount things to pull heaps, i had my mate pulling me by them while i was pulling another car out. We have had well over 4t on just one of them and no worries at all, nothing has moves, I try to use and equaliser strap when i can over both of em. If you put hooks under the...

Hey thanks for the replys guys Im going with the 256/75/16 bighorns as i can get them at a good price, i have the 'stock' 2inch suspnsion lift and may consider an 1" or 2" body if needed, prefer not but Just gotta find some steel rims now, any idea who has em at good prices and what im looking...
