Good luck, it's not rocket science but it is very time consuming so labour prices might make it fairly expensive if ...

Thanks for the info Ricko
Not sure how easy this will all bolt together but i'l start gathering parts give it a crack.

Not much fab work really, just drilling a few holes in the chassis for the box and grinding the shock mount to fit the linkage. After that it's just bolting it together.

But if you are after someone to do it, try Redlands 4wd Centre. I think they do them from time to time, they have in the past ...

Thanks for the offer mate i may take you up on that!

I'm after some suggested person/companies that will/have done pwer steering conversion on a fj40 in S/E Qld region. I've ruled out doing it myself as theres some fab work involved and thats out of my league. I'm chasing somebody who has done the conversion before or who is preety clued onto how to ...

I think polycarbonate sounds like the best idea. Strong, light and cool.
Expensive lid though i guess

Seeing as this thread has started a little on lwb with the 47 i'm about to tackle my suspension on my 45. The front seems ok its obviously had a few taken out but the rear is still chock full of springs and vertical shackle angle with extended shackles. I was going to take maybe 3 out and see how it ...

Well aware of locktup, was only sourcing my options with the way the oz dollar is. For example the bilsteins i'm after are $75 each on trail gear and $399 a pair from locktup.
New to international buying so started a thread to hear from people who have done it. To find out about hidden taxes ...

Split deliveries is nice, i appreciate the way you think

and you realise there springs are for a hilux not landcruiser - hilux is a 60mm wide spring, landcruiser is a 70mm wide spring unless you have already changed this.

Well there you go, thanks Bubs.
Sorry for my ignorance in not researching that further before posting.I did notice there is alot on ...

Anyone bought larger items through them in Oz?
I was looking at their leaf springs they sell and was thinking about them for my fj45. The length seems preety close to what my current springs are, and with the way the aussie dollar is at the moment i thought it might not be such a radical idea.
I ...

Yank gear ey, hmm hadn't thought about that. Food for thought.

Sorry mods if this thread has gotten off topic and isn't in the appropriate area. I've had my question answered!

However i still have no idea what i want

FJ45, so really any factory sprung over diffs are going to be too small. I am aware you can get sprung under to work very well but i'm just sourcing some other setups first. I'm prepared to throw some $$ at it if its going to be the right setup.

CAN'T be done.

Yeah i have read that but i had a few people ...

I'm chasing the link to the list of QLD mod platers. I've heard there is a list somewhere just not sure where. I assume it's on the queensland transport site but i can't find it.

Planning on ringing a few to see their opinions on engineering sprung over. I've been told it can be done although the ...

Sorry if this iggnorrant but i just cant seem to find where this event will be held. Would not suprise me if i've managed to miss it, but for the life of me i cant see it.

Thanks

Cheers for the response mate. Theres a few people il be hitting up and brooksy will be one of them. I've started looking round for some parts. Will the 55 be an easyier fit?

Im looking at buying a 45 series within the next couple of days and power steer is a must. I've just spent a bit searching, there appears to be alot of options.
The engine is a 2f and its in a 77 model ute. I'm not planning on doing this conversion myself i'm planning on paying someone to do it asap ...

if your still interested a mate of mine is on the lookout, he'd be willing to pay more around the 14 mark?

RD28T is Interferance fit

Mate 3 years ago on the way home from Nissan trials has the tensioner let got and it jumped out of time and bent every vavle in the head, when the belt snapped it would have bent all the valves. yes you can still turn it over but that don't mean its ok.

What he said, im ...

yeah mine did this 2 days after getting back from the mechanic who did the timing belt but decided the tensioners were not worth doing, (probably worth doing it myself next time). Its not preety. I needed a replacement head, mine was un-repairable. It also ended up needing a new turbo as it cracked ...

Well it seems everyones got their own opinion and it really comes down to personal choice. Im leaning toward a stick welder though, price is right and it sounds like it should do the job. Also gonna look into the tafe course mentioned, learn properly.

Cheers for all the input fellas

thanks for the quick replies fellas, i was more looking at the 400-500 dollar market. i have zero welding experience haha but i know a few people in the trade and obviously i wasnt going to jump straight into the barwork side of things but to get started i need a welder. I dont see the point in ...

Im keen at having a crack at building a custom front bar, sliders and the other fruit and just wondering what style of welder is going to suit best. How much should i spend etc...

Cheers

Seen them on the BBM ad saying from $250 which sounds a good price to me but i couldnt find anything on the website. Anyone have them or know why i cant find them? Wouldn't mind hearing some feed back if possible

Thanks heaps

50-60 is alot on first year wages. In saying that though a new rim is looking on the cards

Thanks for the quick replies fellas, it is a 33-12.5-15. Should have went into more detail in my first post. I wont be running it on all 4 tyres, this is only for a spare. Got the tyre and i have the rim sitting there and thought if i could i would put it on that to save a bit of coin where possible ...
