got mine at f1 autocenters also fitted and balanced for that price. :)

i fitted the pedders lift kit myself, hardest thing was removing the old shocks, still got to remove some of the original parts but i,m massively impressed so far. :dance:

bfg,s now fitted, wheel alignment done. it feels like a new car. pedders lift kit, bfg,s, looks amazing and drives brilliant,... happy man.:thumbup:.

have ordered 5x bfg,s. getting fitted wednsday. they are also taking the tyres off my 19" rims so i can store them or sell them. happy days

going to bite the bullet and get the bfg,s. more expensive but seem to have better reviews.:thumbup:.

nice truck, i have a v8 myself, if anyones worried about fuel consumption ,,,which i,m not as mine is lpg converted, which actually means it,s cheaper to run than my gt4 st205. i do like 4 wheel drive. :thumbup:.

found bfg,s at £165. fitted or general grabbers at3 for £150 fitted, locally. cheaper than black circles and the like. :think:

must admit they do look good :thumbup:.

mostly road use, a bit of towing which sometimes includes going through fields.:thumbup:

anyone recommend a good set of at tyres for standard wheels and a 2.5 pedders lift kit please.:think:.

all done and i,m impressed with the pedders kit. car drives great! struggling to upload pics unfortunately

ok. heat and a breaker bar extension done that, but the rear torsion bar mounts are proving more difficult. will need more gas i feel as they are solid, or break out the plasma cutter and melt some metal.

decided to start with the rear end as it seemed more difficult, anyhow managed that with my trusty grinder. so on to the front then, this should be a lot easier as you can get to everything, ......how wrong can you be. managed to change the shocks ok but the torsion bar adjusters will not move...

couldn,t wait for a reply so ordered a pedders kit today, tried paul at west coast 4x4 but would have to wait 6 weeks for iron man. the fun will start tomorrow. :thumbup:.

my landcruiser has been sat outside the house for a couple of weeks, been using my other toyota 4x4:icon-biggrin: it,s a gt4. anyhow noticed a leak and it,s from the ahc, driver,s side rear. a pipe has split and it looks like nearly all the fluid has escaped. not going to try and repair this, so...

got a couple today,

i,ll get a couple when it stops raining. :thumbup:

bought the direct 4x4 one, same as john wildsmith used and made up strengthening plates for the body work, i,m quite happy with it and having the spare out of the boot, but can see where a few mods may make it even better. overall though it seems to do the job.:thumbup:.

would do if i could find the parts,...and they didn,t break for a pastime. :icon-twisted:

velcro is the way forward. :)

had the same happen to me a few years ago, ...honda civics go v shaped :).

looking for an 100 series amazon drivers side door lock barrel, with or without key as some git has screwdrivered mine. thanks Alex.:pray:

might be worth taking off the door card and checking that the lock clips are attached.:think:

decided to order an outer shaft and a flange cover plus gasket should be here tomorrow, then i can replace the disc and pads at the same time. hope it,s nice weather on friday:icon-biggrin:

i think that,s what i,ll do. better get one ordered then along with a new flange cap and gasket. the cones and studs seem ok at first inspection but we will see when i grind the welds off. thanks.:thumbup:.

wow! that,s expensive if it needs serious work. which it may do.

i had a caliper seize on the front the other day, decided to replace along with discs and pads. done the drivers side but when i got to the passengers side i found that it had been butchered once i removed the dust cap. no c clip but instead they have welded the shaft to the hub cap.:shock: so i...

that,s perfect, may see if i can get a complete set off a breaker.

does anyone know if you can get replacement barrels as some thieving git has mashed my drivers door lock with a screwdriver. :rage:. i,ve taken one off my celica which at least allows me to lock the doors but it,s not a perfect fit.

i,ve already read how john fitted his but are there any other options than the direct 4x4 one. want to keep it standard as possible :think:

all sorted, it seems that a couple of the fuses were slightly corroded, not blown but cleaned up and all working again.:)

i decided to change a couple of dash light bulbs that were blown this morning, anyhow after doing them i found that i had no dash lights, indicators, central locking or windscreen wipers. checked all fuses and they are ok. :confusion-helpsign: any ideas please.:pray:

hi mate, that might explain it. bar is in bolton lancs at the moment.

bought a secondhand aluminium a bar the other day, sight unseen so took a risk, was told it was off a 2004 100. so thought it would fit mine which is a 2000 v8. but it,s not even close! checked the manufacturers numbers and they say it,s for a 100 series so unless it,s for a diesel i,m...

it was where the pipe joins the core, forgot to take pics unfortunately. took about 8 hours. just hope it holds now. :pray:

was a tiny hole so soldered it up and seems ok now.

checked the engine bay and it,s all dry in there, so it looks like it must be the core. i,ll do it when i get a day off later in the week. thanks for the input guy,s:thumbup:

it,s deffinatly coolant, so it looks like it,s dash out time, have to source another core now :think:

i seem to have developed a leak under the dash, thinking heater core must be the culprit. looks like a dash out job to get to it or is there any other options please. :pray:

hi, thanks for the reply. as for the fluid...the mr2 electronic power steering fluid is supposedly a toyota specific only fluid but after research was found out to be the same as other manufacturerers, i.e. peugeot. and they are much cheaper hence the question:think:

all still ok, but think a fluid change may be in order, toyota stuff is very expensive but has anyone used citroen fluid which tends to be much cheaper. only asking as on the mr2 the power steering fluid is the same but less than half the price.:think:

well i welded the bracket, stripped and checked the sensor, ..all ok, put back together and all seems to be working again.:)

can the car be driven safely for a couple of miles with the sensor and bracket removed, bracket needs welding.also how easy is it to move the sensor arm when detached.

done a couple of more checks today and found a hairline crack in the rear sensor arm and it seems to have slightly bent the mounting bracket. undone from the bracket and the arm is moveable so i,ve ordered a new one......will see if this helps before major surgery:pray:

think i,m going to bin the ahc, so recomendations on either a pedders or iron man kit much appreciated. p.s. the car will be in the northwest for a couple of months due to work.:think:

as an addition to anyone with similar problems i bought a powerhand flaring tool, and the pipe and fittings came from rally spares.works perfect!:)

replaced today, all ok and a lot cheaper than using mrT.:)

thanks for the reply, got a flaring tool and pipe, 99% of the pipe is in good condition, seems that one point has been rubbing the chassis so going to try just replacing the rusted part, any signs of problems and i,ll replace the lot. done this a long time ago on my mr2 drag car and it was...
