ajg193 Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 I've done the backwards release bearing before... Not entirely enjoyable at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashkellybarr Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 Did the same in my old 3Y hilux, water on the dizzy meant a lot of unburnt fuel was collecting in in the muffler, then bang like a shot gun got a wideband to see what’s going on? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dani Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 Hey there, thanks for the detailed write up. I have an '89 liteace looking to be the same as yours.... Would love to do something similar so I can do my long trips from Auckland to Whangarei often with no worries Do you have any advice to start this project? I'm not mechanically minded so would need to get all the work done by someone who is capable.... Been searching wreckers and trade me and seem to have found a 5k engine and 5sp gearbox that would potentially fit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrike Posted May 29 Report Share Posted May 29 Hope you are going to investigate putting a sump/bash plate on? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighLUX Posted May 30 Report Share Posted May 30 Bash plate plus custom sump that is wide and high? Mod pickup to sit closer to the crank and add big wings to keep oil capacity up so you get more metal to road clearance? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffs_Emporium Posted May 31 Report Share Posted May 31 Modified sump and bash plate will be on the cards but likely not for a while. Might look at going to a 185/60 up front and some new shocks all round also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAD Posted June 1 Report Share Posted June 1 Not sure if you got your Carter lift pump wires sorted? I had the same problem with the same pump on the KP. Looped some long, skinny zip ties over the body of the pump to hold the wires in place on the terminals. Can't find any photos of the arrangement but it worked. Sorry to see some little scrots tried to break in, but glad they failed. Awesome little van. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffs_Emporium Posted June 3 Report Share Posted June 3 I'm at the 'it drives and does what it's supposed to but can't be fucked making it awesome' stage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
