[mulesa]

thats tops mate, i want my car to look like that

any plans for her mate... or u happy with ho it is,



im lookin into buyin either a gq patrol, or 80's cruiser, i want coils lol, but its a tuff decision to make

[tufftuff]

Somebody get me a bucket.. i can't stop drooling.

Mate if i had a truck like that i wouldn't be doing anything else except playing all day with her. your one lucky bugger. good work!

[Emo]

That is one sweet 80 series. If i can get mine to look anything like that, I'll be very happy.

[cpt-mud]

main mods left to do are diff locks ;D ;D ;D

[Soft roader]

Is that a LPG sticker on the no plate .

If so does it effect the performance much

[cpt-mud]

no, the gas dosnt affect performance

[TOY80ST]

You scared of the Dark. man I hate to be comint towards you at night out west I'd have to pull over and let you travel 5k's before you would see that I had dipped my lights.

[midnight]

What performance increases does action man give you :P
Does he put more weight onto the front to stop you from rolling backwards?
If so then maybe I should do that.
I'm putting Burt from Burt and Earnie on the front of Dad's truck :P
Nice 80 anyways dude

[Nissan on Patrol]

Sick, let us know how it goes.

[cpt-mud]

the lokka performed to my expetations, did some regular tracks in toolangi today, got halfway up rocky track, and relised i was in high range, once i dropped it into low range, she just crawled up the track, no problems. 8) did the steep track, again no problems. im a happy camper ;D

[persistence]

Giday Axel,
Saw your truck on the road a few months ago,she looks good. I've also got an 80 series and am looking at putting diff locks in. From what I have read I beleive yours is in the rear. What I'ld like to know is how you find she preforms on road and how hard was the install ?
Thanks Evan.

[cpt-mud]

it turned out to be a pain in the ass, they dont make the lokka to fit the lsd carrier housing, luckly a mate had a standard one in his garage. this ment totaly dismantling the diff, transfering the crown wheel and gears over, resetting everything. instead of a couple of hours, it took all day.what i should have done was buy a complete unit from the wreckers and saved a lot of time. Still ends up cheaper than the purchace cost of an air locker.

On road i cant really tell any difference, off road worked well, did my usual tracks with ease, and less speed. A little bit of push in the mud, but nothing concerning. overall im happy with the perromance ;D

[cpt-mud]

have a nice dent to add to the modifications now, shit happens
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y207/cpt-mud/DSC00181.jpg

nice dent there

[ryno]

nice, very nice. i have an 80 series but now i want yours ;D

so it wasnt that much work to stick it in then, ya love ya bling dont ya

[cpt-mud]

about 1 1/2 hours, not too bad

[simsy]

How do you find the steering damper? i'm in need of a new one but wasn't sure weather to get a return to centre one or not. i'm running 285's mtr's with 2inch suspension lift.
gotta love the diff locks, i have detroits front and rear auto box also with the centre diff plug disconected.

Cheers

Simsy

[cpt-mud]

it works well, the front end feels very solid, with low tyre pressures the steering is a bit heavyer.

[quote]

Would you recomend the return to centre or do you think the ordinary ones are just as good.

Simsy

[cpt-mud]

it depends on tyre size, but the normal one should be fine

[simsy]

thanks cpt, still not sure though i'll probable just go in and pick one one day

Simsy

[cpt-mud]

[cpt-mud]

[cpt-mud]

stickers are for the mongrals , but hopefully will get pedes in the future.

Got a new winch winch control box today, no solinodes, just a modual, and ment to be waterproof. Comes with remote control too, just have to fit it now.

i had that problem, i found that there is a breather hole in the base of the dizzy, i silicoed a breather hose in to it and it seems to have fixed the problem.

Bahahahahahahahahahahaha jeep that threatens a toyota.

Baaaaahahahahahahahahahaha Man, thats a new one, is there a new jeep that we dont know about. Baahahahaha

[harvey]

Actually there is. I saw it advertised on a big billboard on my way to work the other morning. It was a new Cherokee. Interesting thing though, Jeep's marketing department decided to advertise it as a 3x3! Don't know what advantage that'll give when touring offroad but it's certainly an interesting marketing angle!

[cpt-mud]

just oedered the part time 4wd kit from marks , will post pics of fitment

[Kransky]

ohh, keep us posted on the part time kit. i wanna fit one to my 80 series. also how did you find the mongrels? do they work ok on rocks?

thanks,

Col.

[hi-lux91]

G'day mate,
Where bouts was the best place you found to put ya
GPS???



Matt

[Kransky]

do you sometimes get major drivertain backlash when you take off around corners or roundabouts? mine does and im guessing its becase of the constant 4wd setup.

Col.

Col.

sure do, it got that bad that it caused all the teeth to chew out on the hub flang. or that is what im putting it down to.

[cpt-mud]

hopefull i get enought time, and not to dirty to take some photos, but this weekend, the front swivel hubs get rebuilt, new cvs, diff lock goes in, compressor and air tank, and part time 4wd kit. sounds like a lot of work when i read it ???

[cpt-mud]

Got a fair bit done done today, swivel hubs have been rebuilt, free wheeling hubs have been fitted, air locker fitted, but with a slight stuff up, My mechanic in his wisdom, drilled and taped the hole for the air line in the bottem of the diff housing instead of the top, i didnt notice this untill i went to re-install the diff in the car. After a few swear words, decided to leave it as is, and ill make a cover/bash plate to protect it. Pics to follow later, as i still have to install the part time 4wd kit.

[humpys]

It's looking great Axel...when are you taking us out on a trip? Where was it you wanted to take us again? Walhalla?

all went well on the test drive to wahalla, part time kit makes the car a lot nicer on the road, just have to get used to the push out of a corner feel. Diff lock worked well.
