Deadly's Budget Nav....The Beacon

Jesus you had a good run out of them if they are the originals

NISSAN tough
Yeh plumb I did, have been waiting for them to go for awile now

Here's a few pics of the Patrol I rescued.......

Replaced the tie rod ends..........again, and removed the broken CV (leaving the outer part & stub axle so I can drive it) until my new complete axles for both side arrive.

Top one is the new one, bottom is the bent one (bent both sides this time)








Think I have worked out why I keep bending them, It's because I have the torsion bars wound up to high!!!!! So have lowered them, see what happens.

Your hard on your gear lol.Unlike myself

If it worth doing.......it's worth doing properly

Got the new front CV's/axles in, also replaced the bottom ball joints. The broken CV (passenger side) was a piece of cake to do, the other side fought me the whole way........GGRRRRRRR!!!

Shiny new CV & axle......


Front hub & axle removed.....


New bottom ball joint....


All back together again.....


Broken CV & Stub shaft.....

Hey mate how do you find the kumhos? Just picked up a set yesterday eager to try them.

Mate, I can't fault them, better then the BFG muddies I used to have on it, & I reckon just as good as the MTZ's I run on my 'Trol. Have found them to be good in the mud, rocks, sand & have pretty good road manners.................well as good as this old truck has anyway I have had mine for about 18 mths now, & do a couple of hundred km's a week driving to & from work & still have well over half tread on them

Thats what I like to hear then, I had a bit of a go today is some left over slop. I think they are pretty damn good and was suprised how quiet they are for the big spacings between the lugs.

Yeh mate, they are pretty quite for an aggressive tyre

Fitted some new diff & gearbox breathers today.....................

sexieeeeee

I thought so      

Time to replace the alternator....DOH!!! Got halfway into work Friday morning, went to put my foot on the brake & the pedal went rock hard (lucky there was hardly any traffic at 4:30 in the morning, could still use the brakes, but had to really stand on them). Anyway, while sussing it out yesterday morning checking for vacuum, could her a strange whirring/grinding noise. Worked out it was the alternator. And seeing as the vacuum pump is on the back of it, it wasn't creating any vacuum, hence rock hard brake pedal!!!!!

Buy a diesel they said they are better they said   

   

WOOOHOOOO !!!! New alternator arrived today, $161 delivered to the door. Good old evilbay   Brand new 80A with vac pump   

It will be a good one to it's an "80" lol
Mine for the 80 was just over $300 and no vac pump.You've done well there

That would be the reason I'm still having "issues" with it     
I have a current drain somewhere that I can't find  ....keeps flattening the battery overnight   

It's a Nissan thing
