Transom

Yup I am actually surprised they seem to be sorta tied on 

Not a very old truck 90s Mack/Renault 

not a very old pic either Friday arvo Main Street no reg no cof no ruc no worries mate 

Mitre 10 “Gulp” brand pocket jump pack for $100 - starts 6 cylinder from dead flat not even a click battery - multiple times 

And small enough to carry on motorcycle 

Was gonna aliex a few but wanted one right now and m10 was open 

May be raising body to be able to lift engine higher away from the live axle pumpkin - and the diff stay above the pumpkin that stops the axle rolling forward under braking 

I had cough(rover)v8 in an ln65 and that was the major clearance issue that would not be a problem in the ifs version 

Hey it’s got a free flower thing on the dash - and plenty of dings

Does say swap for quad bike... 

Donk on 17s 1300cc manwell  $1500 on farcebook in greymouth 

Yes I would be looking at better sealed connectors also 

I bought a similar set but with 3 sets of jaws 

Does take a bit of practice to find the best jaw setup for style of crimp 

Toptul rachet crimper set from tardme - must have been on a deal cos I’m sure I didn’t pay 250 for it 

Do those connectors have a name or part # - will narrow down which jaws you need 

Dunno - the ute does not have half the area where the body rust happens 

Sedan cost 500 and had 3 years of good motoring from it so will pull motor and box front end and other useful shit and cut the rest up already had my moneys worth a few times over - definitely goes hard for what it is

do you have spare AUs yourself?

Look back up the page a bit - sedan is terminal rust so will be stripping it for spares/ upgrades for the ute 

Actually you may find if you own one you like it then end up with 2 or 3

Ideal for removing the anodizing on some race face cranks I have that are a horrid green? 

Yup do it outdoors - submerge the whole thing and scrub off / rinse

Don’t leave them too long or it will etch into the alloy 

Some won’t shift some falls  right off - do a test patch on the back of one first 

The cheaper the oven cleaner the better results bam or Selleys is good 

Cabovers are a harder ride for the driver sitting above front axle but were the go for tight nz roads = more payload space in the same length truck 

@yoeddynz  this one he drove for Tumeke also and red Kw is his current ride 

That kenworth was Tumeke logging - mate used to drive it or it’s sister

The no fume one is no good for removing anodising - always get the toxic version

Yup the “Bam” super toxic stuff is great for de anodising 

^ don’t use oven cleaner on anodising it’s removes it 

Keen to try it on brake dust now 

Meguiars wheel cleaner seems to remove brake dust well turns purple then washes off - won’t remove pitted into alloy stuff 

Is there one called dragons breath or something similar ? 

Lol that thing makes such a glorious noise ...

Yup I fizzed thru a couple of those disposable co2 bottles very very quickly then just got a rental 

Surely you can rent a full bottle local and just return it after a month or 2 ? 

16$ a month and about 60$ for a fill is what I’m paying 

 @DoBro Jesus 

Throttle bodies x 3 - 2 are  same linkage as yours iacv  X 1 ( other has rusted water inlet tube ) and new gasket x1 

Yours for freight cost - you bai nowww 
can throw in a dist and some other random parts if we can figure out a cheap way to get it all to you 

I thought Mercedes was the German AU ? sure looks similar 

 @yoeddynzWe have a few that age at work and older even - not bad actually - few options on gearbox some are 8 speed (4 On stick with high low ) some are 6 on stick -and there is an oddball 7 speed

 good old workhorses in general - hino seems to be a little heavier duty on all the bits and pieces compared to Isuzu/ Mitzi /Nissan but all our brand new 4 wheeler trucks are Isuzu 

Friend has an Isuzu house truck same model and size  as that pic and it goes very well actually does lots of km s on Gypsy fair and doesn’t own a car so just drives truck to the shops 

firetrucks are over maintained and never thrashed from cold ay ? 

2 - one just behind gearbox uni one just behind centre bearing uni - at least that’s what I had to do on my hilux with 2 piece rear shaft 

And those are fucking cool gauges
