crossy

have a look at the yokes - you'll soon see if the have been binding. although it sounds to me like a diff pinion bearing problem. I had similar noises on overrun - was the preload (pinion nut had backed off). doubt 2" would not be enough to cause prop problems ?? If the concrete blocks are working, pfft just do that, so much easier than mucking around with nuts and bolts, getting dirty and all.

hey mr south efrika dont know much about toyota stuff or anything else for that matter! the problem is the diff ratios..... 4.7 is too low for any old school gear box, they all will, when overdriven still return around 3000 rpm @ 100kph. anyway not such a problem, just wear ear plugs and cop the extra fuel bill. (or do a diff ratio swap and comprimise low range ability) anyway, my S3 will sit on 120kph all day at around 3300rpm no problems, at this speed wind noise far exceeds engine buzz - is never going to be a shiny turd. such is series life.

dont we all! you will need a 5 speed mated to a hs t-case to get that. (or a six speed, good luck!) and a dirty big motor to chug along at low revs. anyway, whats the hurry? imo - just chill, enjoy the scenery, it's not a race.

just take the roof off to compensate!! but yeah, know what you mean. wonder how big a difference to stability it would make? what about a big arse skid plate? I'm thinking about re-doing the mid section crossmembers, so they be flush with the chassis rails. dunno if I could be stuffed though.

yes Bill, and post more photos! you could (should) write a book on it all. maybe call it - 1001 reasons to hate land rover ??

I vote to lift the whole thing, would be so much easier ? (still not easy though!) i think mine is about three inches higher than standard. no problems with shaft angle (109) but really need to adapt a cable hand brake setup. also - you'll need to raise the engine mounts the same to ensure the prop shaft angles are kept the same. any way my 2c

has anyone actually measured the max working angle of a stock series uj?

I've got massivly offset rims and could get more turning circle......... but how far before the swivel seal runs off the ball? notice the wipe marks...

how come its the short trips causing problems? just asking, as I have just fitted jt's and do short trips to work as well!

freudian slip (sp)

what about people walking past? Ive fitted a microwave sensor in an industrial wharehouse - it would detect trucks driving past through a double brick wall.

Pretty much any carby fuel pump should work. Facet units down here are about $40.

Thanks Phill, Is there a difference between the 101 and the 109(1 ton) rims ?

Hi all, Can someone please tell me the specs of the one ton landy rims. 16 x 9 ? back spaceing ? Thanks.

Stage 1 turning circle would be the same as a normal series. (same **** different bucket) Dont know about not running a double cardin front with the Stage 1 - ok with part time 4wd and locking hubs but doubt it would be ok on a full time setup. Brakes - same as 6 cyl, but if this is too weird just fit what you have now. Same spindle pattern.
