Mine would select the up position, but when I reached the bottom of the stroke with the handle, it would push the selector out of position and half way down. At the time I thought it could have been...

So I said I was done, and left, but something happened this morning that is a first for me while using a HLJ. And yes, it was my fault. Simple case of house keeping that should have been done.

My...

I was not going to even get involved in this discussion, but here goes...

On an IFS vehicle this is not so easy, and not actually the correct thing to even remotely fix this problem. In fact all...

I have to agree with Reenen here. Some of us just use the tools to their limit. I don't have nearly the years of experience he has, but that HLJ is an essential part of my tool kit.
Last weekend I...

Yip, sometimes best to not even mention that its for a Sani. Nissan D21 Hardbody is what you ask for. I however dont know if there was a difference in brakes between the two different diff options...

Tony, if you have a problem not knowing where your wheels are, you still don't know your vehicle well enough. But in all fairness, it is not an easy thing to know when you take the terrain and...

I agree and disagree.

I agree with use the tool you have at your disposal. Save the tracks and nature and your vehicle.
But the man has a point that it makes guys lazy, and slightly incompetent...

Sorry, not a pic, but a CCTV video sent to me of my old Sani pulling out a delivery truck after it dug itself in and got stuck in soft sand.

LOL, so reading this, I did a little search, and find just as many Patrols pulling stuff around as any of the others..

Went out just now to a spot I know catches people out with soft sand and a bit of a hill. LC struggled yesterday to get up this little piece, but with momentum that saw stuff fly out the load bin, it...

Wheels spin to fast and just spit the sand out, digging you in deeper faster. I could have dropped the tyre pressure further from the 1.4 it is at the moment, but this test has been in the back of my...

Yesterday I got to the test. Ran out of engine power in HR 1st on a bit of climb with right turn on the top. Nearly made it, but killed the motor on the top. Started up and could not even pull away...

True that.

Fitted to mall crawlers to assist getting off pavements. Comes as a package deal airbags, reverse camera and ABS braking.

Last weekend my 97 TD27 Sani hit 370k

Very interesting. Alone this Christmas, sitting here abusing Youtube. Maybe I should fire up Hillbilly and point him into the veld and go see if I can find a place to put this to the test.

In all fairness, I can be a dick. LR 1st gear for me is 1.5km/h, or 26 meter per minute. LR4th is around normal LR1st for other bakkies. Strange thing is, I dug in bad once yesterday along with a...

Or just go to LR yourself, match the speed, save the frustration, get there the same time you would have with stopping and starting 46 times, save some stress on your car, and enjoy the scenery.

Ek stem, pressures sal baie help, maar ek moet vir nou ook reg wees om enige tyd gou teer pad te moet vat, so ek hou maar op 1.5 meeste van die tyd. Daie video is geneem die dag na ons Kaapstad...

Francois, it was super meeting with you guys. My wife also wanted to thank you for a nice visit.

We will stay in touch and see how things develop here and with the potential new job offer. I...

2WD digs those wheels in very fast, even with the LSD. I have tried a few times in 2WD, and even with some momentum, the rears start digging, and the first hop that the wheels make, gets you digging....

This is where the Sani lives now. A little youtube video of a road in our sandpit. We do have some descent roads, but they have only been created over the last year, when we arrived, this is all we...

We did reach a little mile stone today..

Yip, I am still suffering since that rubbish diesel I got on my trip down. I've replaced filters and get no improvement. Pulled the wastegate pressure pipe off, with no change. Boost gets nothing...

Yip, these comments are on incidental encounters on the farm. I keep fairly high pressures for the odd town trip as I don't have a compressor any more. So running into a dune or two behind our...

A bit of feedback, and a bit of a pat on the back for me. Sani took a little 350km round trip to Cape Town yesterday. First long trip my wife gets to take in the car since we started this build. All...

Oh, let me go back amd have a look. Sure I would have saved it though. I have a G60 manual, but quality is a bit bad if I remember.

Wear on the car is only part of the equation, keep in mind what you are doing to the road, and what that leaves the next guy to negotiate.

Francois, I'm probably about 12km from Dwarskersbos. My wife is going up to family next week thanks to a lift with Johan and his son, so I am "lossball" unless I can find some work to do here to make...

Well I don't know what I am doing most the time anyways, so you could be right, but I think I did ask for advise here somewhere about how to tackle that leaking pinion seal, and was told that the...

Thanks for the info Malcolm. My old GTX Skyline was fiddled with somehow as well. That thing would drag a wheel around a sharp corner, and was a drifters dream. And if I am not mistaken, that R180...

This is what I did with the seal, but did not do the collapsible bush. Where do even buy that??? Then, if memory serves, that nut needs to be tightened to 280Nm. I had marked the nut, and counted the...

Both front and rear propshafts were serviced, and never used till I installed them. Come to think of it now, Reenen brought me those shafts, and they may actually not even be from the Safari I...

Christo, what is involved to replace that bearing. Is it just the one you can see behind the pinion seal? Or is there another behind it. I presume you have to replace the crush tube as well. Not...

Ja, well, nothing that anybody wants to look at till somewhere in January. No choice than to drive it like that for now. Looked into moving the rear axle back slightly, but can't find a place, or...
