^^^that's the tail housing for a 4wd? To bolt to transfer case? What the availability of a r154 vs a r150? Having that tall 5th would be lush for cruising.

The r151 have a "weak" 5th gear. Even in a gutless slug like a 1kz landcruiser towing is recommend against. Might be an issue with something with more power? The r151 is also a pretty bulky gearbox. How much room do you have?

Is a brand new tremec 5/6 speed out of your budget? Would otherwise be an excellent option

Is 1w enough? @NickJ @Mof

Where would one procure a uhf radio from?

Looks like all the doc hut/resevers are shut at level 4 Sadface.gif

Unlikely anything will happen in the next month

No reg no wof no worries

Assuming fuel stations and whatnot staying open. Probably no reason we cant go for another mission.?? Maybe 2 nights?

Such a good trip. Scenery was serene Keen for rnd 2 at some point. Need to fine another choice location l

Sounds good

Saturdays looking kinda drizzly and cold. Might just sleep in the back of the truck..... This little rain wouldn't have made the river any bigger ? @NickJ @Mof

Had it all apart. Surprisingly in excellent condition. Just the soft lines had swelled up and were impeding fluid return ti the master. Holding the brakes on pretty tight

Doesnt look to bad. Sat looks fine. Sundays a bit drizzly

Getting closer. What's the plan @NickJ @Mof Where/when you wanna meat

I'll be cruising in ultimate luxury

Yeah npd port hills rd is the go @Bling

Pretty keen Dunno my ones kinda thirsty for some reason.......

Pics?

Is the piece needing repair cast aluminum? I can prob do it although welding cast ali is a gamble at the best of times. Is often contaminated inside the metal and just blows out for no reason. How replaceable are the pieces?

At work we use lecher black epoxy. Sticks to anything. Parts still needs to be cleaned and prepped properly. Fairly durable finish. But scratches easily. For a really durable finish we top coat with glasurit 2k black . Often semigloss or satin. But just a couple good coats of lechler black epoxy would be more than sufficient for a 4x4. Has a semi gloss finish

Spend 500$ and build a carport?

Do a afternoon's pesting somewhere? Where would be best for *cough cough* no lift and goodride mud tyres Dont know about logistics of avoca. So close to nats. Gotta save hard. But would be keen to just get a feel for the truck. I can pretty much drop everything and go whenever.....single life/no commitmemts

Already go one of these stickers on the back window.........
