Jacket_1985

I'm going if my car is derivable. i would like to meet ray! glort and others. . . .

This is a steering draglink and a rock rod. This is what they look like fitted to a car. The forward most one is the steering draglink, and the one beside it is the panhard rod. This is the rock rod, or tie-rod, whatever you like to call it. -its the rod behind the diff.

Steering draglink is the forward most rod going from your steering box to your left front swivel housing. . . rock rod is the rod on the back of the front diff connecting both the swivel housings together(keeping the wheels aligned)

Also got new windscreen fitted thisavo, slowly chipping away at that RW list.

Bought some bits today , still getting ready for the build. Iv decided to go with the ARB airlocker again , im not sure why, it was an honest 50/50 either way, but i had to get the build done at 2 shops if i went with Eaton. . . easy to just do one shop build because of the forum trip being so close. Sad excuse i know, and ill still try to do an Eaton one day soon. So anyway, here's what i got sorted today. Paid for Front ARB airlocker Here's whats in the box.. Paid for bearing/seal rebuild kit. Paid for drop boxes. Paid for diff brace/lamination kit. Got king smoothie canister bolt-in kits. Paid for 80 series bumpstops and mounts front and rear. Found some radius arm bushes. Paid for big ARB air compressor.

They have it from 2002, not sure what it's for, but my series 3 & 4 had it.

Joking genius. lol.

make things? im lucky if i make my bed!

what if he doesn't have an internet connection?

yeah. . . -pad *moan*, -pad *moan*, -pad.pad *aahhh*

hi there.

I know. . . . its really tempting. but iv never had an issue with the ARB airlocker, iv had 3 versions, and i crash locked them all. only thing making me want to use the Eaton is the fact i can say iv done it. truth is im completely happy with the arb. still undecided. iv got a quote in my hand from Andrew. . . its underwhelming price isnt a winner. . . $1500 just for the locker! if it was $900 i would just do it. . . but its more! and im not sure that the Eaton is more recognized/desirable to the resale market than the ARB. lol, decisions.

ok, update time. . . . things accomplished today: Had RWC inspection done. -here is the list. Windscreen. washers. spotties wired wrong. steering wheel. rhs bullbar indicator. number plate light. seat belt slow to retract L&R fronts. brake fluid low. radius arm bushes. lhs engine mount. rear lower shock rubbers. rust in rad support. transfer case leak. lhf wheel bearing loose. lhr axle seal leak. rhs steering draglink flogged out. Not a bad list. . . . . iv got a bit fixed already. also Paid a visit to allan @ racebred4wd. Paid for my King smoothie shocks. Paid for my King damper. Paid for my Old man emu 4inch lift comp coils. Paid for king damper brackets. Will arrive in approx 3 weeks from the United states. lovin' it

still havnt decided. . . e-locker or ARB airlocker.

never noticed them, iv had the 17's. i assume we are talking about these? iv also had 2 variants of 16in genuine nissan alloys. ill dig up some pics.

I love when the bank hounds me from a private number to advertise insurance or give me a credit card, they ring me up and the first thing they do is ask me to identify myself, I always tell them that their phone call is unsolicited, and They have rung me. I told them if they called me again asking dumbass questions advertising life insurance etc I would leave the bank! Commbank are one customer down as of about 2years ago, I was asked by my new bank why I swapped when I did, I told them..... I havnt got so much as a single call since. It's bliss.

Gold troll is here, he will probs answer for ya

What??? You buying a gq or a gq motor? Are you asking how much you should pay or how much you could sell it for?

Yeah, that looks good, I thought as soon as I saw it that a arb switch would fit, I'll see what Andrew will do for me, see if I can get an e-locker for a try

for what? wheel chocks?

Iv been on the forum since 2008, joined as jacket_1985 in 09 and started posting, you have to be patient with some of the guys, benno is alright. If the comment bothered you, i would have had a go at benno, not the forum.

also started on my journey of simplification. got rid of weather shields, (im a tall coot, 194cm, so i belt my head on these thing whenever i try looking out the window, -annoying) Undo bolts, cut double sided tape with knife, crape off rest of tape/glue, cut and polish to remove paint discoloration.
