    Electrical help identification.

    Can anyone point me where the black cable was earthed and where I can buy new electrical plugs from. They’ve all gone brittle and I want to do some cable management. Thanks

    Coverlay over missing dash pad

    Here’s my coverlay experience. Sanded down the high spots. Filled the gaps with a dash filler, slapped on coverlay and re installed. Very happy with result.

    Winch Mount

    Forgot to say offroad design makes these. Would like the top one but it’s a bit pricey to get one to New Zealand.

    LMC Dash Pad Supplier

    Yes it covered the whole thing. The only thing i didn’t really like was the holes drilled where the centre speaker is but you can’t really see them once it’s installed.

    LMC Dash Pad Supplier

    Another cheap option for people is coverlay for around $150. I’m pretty happy with the results. I used a dash filler compound, sanded the dash down before applying the coverlay.

    after doin front end clutch and steering column,truck feels like its in 4wd

    Old brake lines breaking down, they swell and let fluid through due pressure applied but won’t relax enough to let the pressure back out which jams the brakes on. Could be the culprit.

    If you get really stuck I have a full set I’ve just pulled off an 83, you’re welcome to have it for free but you’d have to cover postage from New Zealand.

    What locker shall I go for?

    I would suggest an air locker or e locker. These units run as an open differential until selected, then both wheels have drive. This will give you the most predictable driving manner and reduce wear compared to auto lockers. They do cost more and require a bit more technical knowledge to...

    GVW

    Definitely have the C6p, the spare tyre was a 235/65/16. Larger drums and 56inch 8 leaf. 4.10 ratio. Unfortunately I have to prove to the vehicle entry certifier in NZ what it is with some form of written identification.

    A/C only works when driving!?

    Sounds like your blower has stopped working, when you’re driving you’re feeling passive fresh air coming in maybe. Try all settings at idle without aircon. With no airflow across the evaporator the compressor isn’t going to have a good time, and is likely the cause of the ticking noises.

    Seat recovering

    Finally got around to installing the upholstery on my seats. Just the door cards to do once I replace the doors and add sound deadening.

    I used some side cutters to cut the old hog rings. Went through like butter. Will see how the tool to do them back up goes

    Paid 12k NZD which is about $7400 USD. About 5k USD of that was transport to New Zealand.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Fronts all together apart from the tie rod. Full strip down, new ball joints, bushes, bearings, ujoints and some eazy ride 4 inch leafs. Backs out and coming apart with some off-road design drop shackle kits. Has anyone had luck removing some springs out of the leaf pack for more flex and...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    You can get these stereos from Ali express, doesn’t play cds but Bluetooth works and I think they look pretty good. I’m going with 2x 3.5 in the front and 6/9s behind the seat with an amp/sub combo in a custom box.

    I finally gave up.

    I went with coverlay from summit. They had a good deal that came with decent door cards. I filled the cracks and sanded down the high spots, treated the little bit of rust underneath and then glued the coverlay over top.
