As we often go deep into the desert areas, relying on maps and GPS, I thought it wise to upgrade with a decent compass. (no electronics / Batteries, Always on and independent from USof A) I would like to optimally install my new Ritchie Compass in the Shorty. Any suggestions, as the compasses...
From my experience is with the 76 with OEM double difflocks. These are electrically actuated. there is even a small stone guard covering the rear actuator. After many thousands of KM offroad, some wayward stone managed to cut one of the rear actuators wires as close to the plug as possible...
not sure - but remember that Bahrain and Dubai are past masters here - i would suggest contact direct with one of the dealers
my reference to pricing is Saudi vs South Africa?
Purchase pricing i think is quiet keen but then again there are minimal hidden taxes......
by way of example my stock...
hi
I am in Saudi
its LHD this end of the desert only (not sure if that's by law or not - either way very few RHD to be seen)
its also Petrol Country - and big motor Petrol country....(obviously)
so most LC available will be Petrol V6 (70 series) V6/V8 (200 series) -
Diesel pump price is half of...
yr cruiser has a completely mechanical gearbox/transfer box system. Loose wires maybe the reverse light, 4WD hi/lo indicator/speedo.
maybe you had not fully engaged the 4wd gear?
maybe yr friendly garage has not properly connected the linkages...?
remove battery + for a few minutes - see if that helps. Switch ignition on and off a couple of times should reset fuel/water lights. resetting the timing belt light is a fiddle with odo reset and ignition.
you really have to specify which LC we are talking about...
different size tires on the same driven axle mean that the diff will be compensating all the time. Different tire sizes on a non-driven axle just means that one hub rotates slightly differently from the other.
Something has to give -...
Good greasing might show up some gremlins? let the suspension hang before greasing props and ujoints. (don't overfill props - that will get you more issues)
drain /refill diffs/transfer case as well - check the condition of old oil)
ever ask yourself why so many "populist" chefs originate from the UK? (Gorden Ramsey, Naked olivier, Nigella et al) ((maybe 'cause the food is so bland...) :twisted: now running for cover :lol:
have a look at Outback products Ostrich wing awning - in principle similar to Foxwing from Oztents - -270 degrees of shade, no support poles, 30 second deployment, 30 sec fold up et al. just the bees knees and if i could attach a photo i would!
Dont tell them :evil:
let them live in ignorance :D Wont even tell them about biltong chilli snap sticks or braai or real offroad with moer coffee......
cheers
Hi All
Greetings from South Africa where we know how to use our Cruisers :evil:
