drtdvl Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 We have an 06 i think it is explorer (V8 limited) and the 3 a4 pages of faults we have had to have fixed on it. Great when it was fine, but damm it didn't like being fine that often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shizzl Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 made it home in the lux...thanks to blair for looking after it for me and making up my body lift blocks.. ive got the bolts for them now so after wof itll be jack jack time.. found out what the vibration was, munted front uj on the rear shaft.. drove it all the way home though before i checked it out,better not to know i reckon... thats fixed... now ive found out that the 4x4 doesnt work, well the electrics anyway. i can put it 4x4 by swapping 2 vac lines over on the vsv's... will get a new add ecu for it, pretty sure thats toast.. drives sweet...needs sounds,or atleast i need to get an ipod.. got some 33 muds lined up for it too. will make my own snorkel and a 2.5" exhaust straight through.. took it out to a hut last night for some hunting action... need to find some mud... some how i managed to get a cr250 and a yz125 into the back of it.. gif upload Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 finally got muds for mine. split an inner cv boot so fixed that then speedo has gone all haywire on the drive home last night. weird. Might slam some patrol or maybe try lwb pajero rear springs in the back of it as with around 100kg in the back it clips the bumpstops on big bumps on the road. with 2 people in there it's a little worse. would be good to keep it as soft as it is but just ever so slightly higher. also I'm putting together a small kit to keep in the back with some basic tools, ropes, chain, shovel, maybe hand winch and hi lift jack etc so I have confidence doing some self exploring. mint. am yet to get stuck. I've taken it through a fair bit of shit that doesn't look like I'll quite get through (I'm not tlking about out and out bogs here) but always seem to manage to pick a line to be able to quietly pick my way through and get past without any assistance. loving it!

danger Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Looks like I might be selling my surf. Put 30s back on it today and might lower it if the chick who wants it doesnt care. Keen for solid axle anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you... did you get the truck sorted after the weekend's shennanigans? (Del Fuego from ORE/ D/cab navara from the pig farm lol) Oh, wow. Small world! Nah, had to get it towed home, and haven't had a look yet. Engine bay was full of mud, but it's a bit cleaner now. I'll try see what the problem is tomorrow, and probably get a new accelerator cable soon... The lawn at home is more like a swamp now You assessed the damage to the various body panels yet?

danger Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Can anyone give me an idea what my surfs worth? 1987 3Y petrol 5 speed. 190kms, sweet motor and box Auto hubs but have manual ones for it Standard diffs with long diff breathers Lengthened rear shackles New longer rear shocks Wound up front bars and trimmed bump stops 2 inch body lift. Wide offset 15x8s with half worn 33/12.5/15 buckshots Fresh paint NO RUST AT ALL 3 inch rubber flares all round spotlights I'm making a custom front bullbar Bumpers and steps removed but available Average interior, would tidy up fine Decent sounds New windscreen In pics its only half back together but will be completed with new wof. I was gonna sell for 4k and build another one later on but after looking round it seems that petrol manuals are pretty rare, rusty and around 3-4k standard anyway 5k unreasonable? This is my first ever venture into 4wds so pretty clueless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SP450andLE Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Yup, sounds alright. The engine size may put some people off though, so really talk up the good points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testament Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 people put silly money on toyotas even though it's a wasted old hilux at the end of the day. maybe slightly less wasted than some others but still. people would probably put $5k or $6k on trademe not that i can see it's worth that. really depends how soon you need the money, I think for $4k or less you could have it sold within days. no idea if it would ever sell @ 5 or 6. although the market down your way may be a little different to the north Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
