It is amazing though what part you can find by Google and a couple of calls.I even got a Turbosmart boost controller ( which is an Australian product worth $110 AUD here) hand delivered to our room at Planet Hollywood 8 hours before a big race in Arizona that we needed to get to and I paid the guy $100 cash? I would not stack parts.Its all there now.
True hotel, true. I'm seriously considering purchasing an old land rover, the ones with a PTO. That would be handy and easier to work on. Or maybe I won't
Some Toyota Hilux's have 2 catalytic converters. I found out the hard way this week, when I had to replace both of them at the same time. Also heard they're popular in Detroit at the moment.
Don't forget about consumerables such as light bulbs and fueses. It's the small things that can be hard to find and expensive at times.
A welder, some steel pipe approx 2" in diameter and possibly a resistor and soldering iron is also a suitable replacement.
Yep just take em off throw em in the bin & weld some pipe in there & spend the money on bullion ...... .......... What ? not the right thing to do ? either is slugging us with the carbon tax !!!
Yeah, I know. But i'm no mechanic, so I just let him do his thing, I trust him. Btw. drove the ute out the shop at midday, and the alternator sh@t itself at around 5pm. Good times.
I just realized why it is military and serious bushmen prefer split rims - easier to change tyres on the spot. They look shyt, but they surely are good for practical purposes. Am considering a set of generic cheapy 15" (cause 15 inch is still the most widely popular tyre size) 6 stud -23 offset split rims to cater a wide range of 4WDs, but I shall buy this after my Mickey Thompson 16" rims (gotta spoil self a wee bit).
