I went with the sheet of ply in botom of tub and rubber straps through handles down to hooks on ply, stays in place and no drilling holes in your tray.
I have had a few different ebay ones, all have worked well with their own but because of slight variation between each lot I have had tight and loose conections when mixing plugs from differnet suppliers. As my older plugs were getting brittle from age I just bit the bullet and replaced all my...
Totally agree with you on this! Most handeling aspects remain the same in 4wd or 2wd, only benifit of 4wd is slight increase in traction under acceleration. Don't drive faster because you are in 4wd, the fact you are in a 4x4 means your vehicle probably has poor handeling from the outset...
Patrol wheels have a 110 centre bore and D22 Navara are a 100mm centre bore but not a problem as the bore is only used to assist locating the wheel onto the studs and it is the clamping force of the wheel nuts that hold the wheel on and no weight of the wheel is taken by the centre bore hole...
The 4wd drivetrain pieces are as strong as the rest of the drivetrain so go what ever speed you feel safe driving over the surface at. Smooth high speed driving is typically low stress on the drivetrain compared to low range driving which produces more torque on the drivetrain. There are a lot...
With Tough-dog comfort springs I got 65mm lift in the rear as the origional leafs were sagged, tough-dog stated that they were 40mm lift. I wound the front up the same and still had 10mm gap on the bottom bump stop.
The hand crimpers look to be similar to the CABAC brand ones that I have used daily for 7 years and they are bullet proof. I normally used the ones that go to 120mm2 with longer handles but have used the 50mm ones too and they are good. I have used plenty of hydraulic hand crimpers but not those...
Hey Josh
Clarky is looking tuff as!!! Nice work! I ditched the hook and use a shackle when winching and I put one of the tie down hooks out of the D22 tub in the bar just below the fairlead to hook the rope over to secure the end, looks nice and neat. What ever you do don't pull the plasma out...
Hey Mitch
Take it from me, go for the hand operated ones. I am an Electrical Cable Jointer by trade and we use hand crimpers like that for stuff up to 70mm2 often and have hand crimped up to 120mm2 with biger hand crimpers and I have experience with electric and hydraulic crimpers up to...
Had this plenty of times especially after being in 4wd. I had the swicth replaced under waranty once but have had it again since. The switch just seems to do that!
From what I understand it is fine as long as both batteries are same type of construction and close to same size, but you may have charging issues with a 100Ah & 50Ah combination.
