  • a real good deal, for the lights

    three of these....

    straight through a au. dlr without the american "Cobra" label added, and added bump up, in $, cost me $305 55w hid's with built in ballast/clears, delivered... the seller was that good , i asked for a spare globe and ballast, he sent me a brand new box of each ,

    , that's two new globes and two new ballasts ,,, didn't want to charge me extra for the spares and " i covered the $11.50 postage.. " if you think the ARB lights are good ,they may be , but grab a good deal if you see one... after all its just gunna get busted... cheers butane

        • moving on with the build up

          today reversing the rig down the drive feathering the clutch right a the grab point,
          prado 6 spd , and clutch well heated up.'
          i heard my first "loose" rear drive shaft spline
          so after i hit the grab point again and my ears honed in / clunk , feather clunk. still rolling, feather grab clunk..
          located the sound , identified, the symtoms.. and root cause....

          tommorrow I will pack the spline and see just how much grease it takes till i get a witness...

          last time i did this i ended up with a grease splatter on the under side .. but no clunk... fully aware what is going on with the toyota shaft replacements etc., but will pack this one just for a experiment ok boyz///

          cheers butane

            • packed the front and back drive shaft splines with grease ,,,
              the rear took 55 pumps till i got witness, the front only took about 15.. they'll be grease everywhere, on the underside by the end of tommorrow... trial or error... lol we'll see... cheers butane

                • Where were the seat covers from? I have a Kakadu so leather seats, I'm a bit worried about possible damage from pants (i.e. studs on jeans) and dogs (although we have the back seat buddy for them.

                    only use a small one handed gun,, maybe about a cup of grease all up front and back, i pack the grease gun manually from a 20l bucket,, steve i normally apply grease to the spline till i see the slide side of the shaft, (front) start to extend, but this time i went for a witness,, it took about 18 pumps from movement to witness on the rear , front shaft was good, no probs there. only put 4 pumps in the uni's..

                    cheers butane

                            steve , that van is a " prado physical challenge "

                            my mate and his wife know how much i love this rig, so they set me a challenge .. if i can get that old van accross a washed up creek up up the hill to where the they have just laid the new house slab.... it's mine.... to set up as i please .... rubbing hands together..lol

                            they think they will be sitting at the site /slab/ wine in hand laffin...

                            i told them nothing is impossible , and it all comes down to the planning and execution of the task....

                            the rig is tuff,, the old van look like it can handle the 1 kay trip but just need to set the creek up for the van crossing ,,
                            nothing like a challenge.. looks like i'll have the van rockin b4 i even get to sleep in her .

                            i evan took out my exhaust air bag( jack ) but its the crossing i need to set up ...
                            still had air in the tyres and a useable hitch
                            .. stay tuned,,, cheers butane
