got some cheap roof racks this week second hand, put on the roof tent and fox wing (3 side) awning, we are testing out some products for my wifes father and seeing what needs improving etc. 

brought a 16 tooth driven speedo gear to correct the speedo but unfortunately it doesn't engage properly so doesn't work. Am thinking about putting 4.3 ratio gears in it as the current 4.1s are a bit long. anyone got any 4.3s for sale?

jeez you must feel like a drug dealer cruising round in this, looks good a+

brought some new extended brake hoses from rock auto for about $90nzd delivered vs $300au$ just searched through similar year toyotas that had lengths listed. handbrake cable turned up, started work on the rear bar

4.5 seats, could strap someone on the bonnet if need be too.

is it ok if i bring my handbrake? she's keen if so, or is it a sausage fest only? will have a roof top tent, and sussed out a decent waterproof box trailer for the piss. will put up a pic of it sometime.

i think it does need a bigger driven gear thinking about it now, from the minimal internet searching apparently i don't have to change the gearbox gear, doesn't work in my thought process either. might just buy a 20 tooth and give it a go, if its tight going in it probably won't be right.

Hey have put larger tyres on my old land cruiser and the speedo is out by 12-14%, Im guessing it needs to be close to accurate for cert, have looked into mechanical correction boxes but can't justify $265au + postage\tax. Have found you can buy the gears from toyota new, so I'm thinking I will just buy the correct one. My speedo gear thing that goes into the gearbox is marked 6-18 (6 tooth in the gearbox and 18 on the one that you can pull out) you can't change the inside gear from 6 so if i change the 18 tooth gear to say a 17 or 16 does anyone know what one would help correct my speedo, long winded explanation but i can't figure it out. cheers

Yeah mate heres his name on fb, if that doesn't work i can send you the link on fb or something, Kelby Van Der Lizem

good to see you could find the previous owner, did you change the ownership of those other plates? am a little worried as they were in my name. cheers shell is looking good

paid

for sale on the side of the rd in tepuke, super shift too

just talked to a mate who has a spare set of brackets to suit mr2 callipers so will go that route, heres a pic of his beast, got me thinking about an intercooler now..

brought my 3" ss bends from adrenalin for under $30, got tubing from scrappy . bends were quite thick and good quality

yeah cheers, not sure never seen a set of mr2 callipers in hand?, haven't put the callipers on just yet need a couple of longer brake hoses front and rear so will put them on then. also looking for a larger master and a 80 booster. list of things needed\wanted doesn't seem to be getting smaller! 

anyone know if rear discs are worth it? people say to use mr2 rear callipers. heres the 80's series ones i fixed up

still heaps to do but getting there.

have a good spare bumper as it took a bit of a beating when it took on the shelter belt, plus theres some rust i would like to sort out. put a non sun deck bumper on in the meantime. took it for a drive today its got a heap more grunt with the new 3" exhaust and its very quiet.

pics.

painted the roof white, lanolin inside roof, put roof lining back in (what a cunt of a job), paid for someone to put the windows back in it only cost $150, rebuilt some 80 series callipers with new pistons and seals, brought the steel i need for the tow bar, brought one of those tow bars you can remove just waiting for it to turn up to start building the tow bar, brought new wheels and fitted the tyres myself was good fun never used a tyre machine before.

Then i drove it into my work van by accident. had the h brake cable out to get lengthened so had the cruiser in gear which i normally never do, went to warm it up and turned the key from outside the vehicle and she starts instantly, took off into the van then shelter belt. cruisers sweet but van door is toast.

is this where i post? have a free xr200 motor in tepuke if your ever passing by. going in the skip soon. cheers

I'm sure some booze can be stored in support vehicle..

still keen to be support driver. have my own vehicle\trailer combo if that helps (would rather take my own if thats ok) looking forward to it. november yeah?

What's yer plan with the trailer hub? Prolly being daft but how do you mount a spare wheel on that? 

Iforce isn't working? is there another easy way to put up pics? will try just off my computer. drew a picture of how it works,

does anyone know what trailer hubs are made of for certain? are they cast iron, cast steel? have turned down a n.o.s trojan hub for a spare wheel holder hinge which will mount up on my rear bumper . have seen one done before guess it should take a bit of weight with some good welding. turned it down with an angle grinder worked really well as i don't have a lathe. Looking out for some heavy 4x2 box and heavy 2x2 to glue up a rear bumper as the rear chassis rail looks weak as. 

got the 80 series callipers apart, getting them blasted this week, brought a seal kit for them too. also came across a 80 series steering box apparently they are a good upgrade but can't find out why?

finished welding up the roof today came up better than i thought it would. 

those diffs are semi floating if it has a cover on the back? if it does have a cover no amount of anything will remove the axle as they have big c clips holding the axle in place, pull them out and axle will come out. if it doesn't have a cover on the back then its a full floating axle which i don't think it will be. have spare axles if you get stuck, or whole diff.
