hey all, unfortunately the time has come for me to say goodbye to my beloved navara. i'm hoping to find some to be able to put a modplate in for my body lift and someone to do a roadworthy on my truck, preferably someone who is "sympathetic" to the 4wders cause, and won't sting me for having...

Hey all, I've searched high and low for this, but with no success. I'm looking to replace all my indicators and Parker lamps and stop/tail lamps with LED's but I'm still trying to chase down this part before I can do anything. Help?

Hey all, I wanna do a full LED replacement on all the external lights on my truck, but without pulling it all apart, I'm not sure what type of lamps I'm requiring. I'm pretty sure that my indicator lamps are 5w T10 type, but are they white, or orange? Can anyone tell me what types of lamp I...

OK, so some of you may know that I've had my truck in to get the diff ratios changed and a few other bits and pieces done. The full scope of work to be done was diff ratios, wheel bearings, clutch, diff overhaul and swap the lokka across into the new front diff housing I provided. Pretty simple...

This is basically just going to be a pics thread for the build-up of the custom rear bar and swing away wheel and Jerry-can holders for my truck. just a note. I have both a rear quarter chop and a 2" body lift which has aided and greatly simplified the design and building of this bar. All...

Hey everybody. I'm after some high quality mechanics that specialize in 4wd drive lines. I've got wheel bearings, diff rebuilds (because I'm changing out the crown and pinion for better ratios), gearbox inspections, brake caliper reconditions and a clutch to replace. I'm hoping for some top...

Has anyone got a mike vine turbo upgrade done? I just gave them a call and am kinda halfway seriously considering the Garrett VNT upgrade they offer. If not then at least the billet internals and recondition.

Hey, without going to the overpriced dealerships parts desk and calling them all a bunch of really really bad people again, i want to purchase a R180 Diff seal kit to suit the front of my truck. i've already looked on ebay and can't find what i'm looking for, so can the brains trust here at...

Hey all, i've got the Dyneema Synthetic rope on my truck, and i'm wondering what the proper care instructions are for this stuff? I don't want to prematurely degrade it's abilities.

I was browsing around looking for some information about winch wiring and installations and i came across this darn good post about going all out for auto electrics. If you're into doing hardcore 4wd-ing or just starting out, this is a pretty good read for the methods and thought process behind...

The title and pics pretty much explain it all - I have no idea what this bit does/is for?

Hey everybody! I'm looking at doing some much needed maintenance in the ol' girl and one of the thing is to recon the front brake calipers with new seals and a good old fashioned cleanup. While replacing my front brake pads earlier in the year I noticed te drivers side caliper was pretty stiff...

Hey everybody, been a long time sin'ce i've been around this place, circumstance's have kind of prevented me from doing any work on my truck and just being busy, etc, but now I've got a bit more time (and money) up my sleeve, it's time to continue building my touring machine. My latest avenue...

they must have the coolest vehicle modification laws. I'm at the end of a 3 weeks trips over here and i've seen some seriously awesome stuff. My travels (and awesome photos) can be caught up on my blog, but i really wanted to share a few of the trucks i've seen. They aren't really built for...

Hey all, I'm trying to change out my G-Box and T-Case oils and both the drain and filler plugs arent coming out at all. The only think I can think of is that because the G-box and T-case are still warm from a big long drive this morning, the plugs have expanded with the heat, and the simple fix...

Hey all, I've got a small leak at the front of my sump, nothing major, but it means I've got to change out the gasket. I figure that seeing as I'm going to be attempting the Lokka install this weekend, having the front diff out is a perfect opportunity to also do the sump gasket. What things do...
