    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.

    Seat recovering

    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

    What did you pay for a square

    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...

    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.

    Help need with identifying belts.

    Hey guys. I’m just about to replace the water pump so need to sort belts. What size are required for an 83 K20, it has air con, smog pump delete. The belts are so worn I can’t get any detail from them.

    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.

    Gusseting corporate 10 bolt/ 8 lug.

    Unfortunately I live in New Zealand. I doubt there would be a single d60 available in the whole country. Important if one is costly, let alone finding one second hand.

    Gusseting corporate 10 bolt/ 8 lug.

    Yes I did mean gusseting, I’ll blame that on autocorrect. It’s pretty common here on Nissan Patrols and Toyota land crusisers. It won’t be the first time I’ve launched an off-roader and bent the front axels.

    Gusseting corporate 10 bolt/ 8 lug.

    Good afternoon. Has anyone had success gusseting corporate 10/8lug diffs and was it worth it. Though I might do mine while it’s out and clean.

    Need quick reliable answer please- ‘83 K20 front axle question

    I have an 83’ it’s also got a corporate 10/8 lug in it. From what I’ve read they tend to bend if you bounce them and 37s break them. I’m running 37s on mine so I’ll see how they go. In this side of the world (Nz/Australia) a few vehicles have soft axel housings and we add gusting to them to...

    A few steps involved for this. 1. Braking certification (requires rebuild of all brake components and replacement of rubber brake lines. Must stop in 4.4seconds from 100kph (60mph) 2. Certification for modifications (lift, larger tires, rockslides, bar work ect. They even carry out a stability...

    Keeping it LHD at the moment. I imagine it would be pretty hard to source parts here to convert it. Eventually I want to change the front diff/axel to a Dana 60 but once again hard to organise over here.

    Lift recommendations.

    So I’m ordering some HD shackle flips from ORD with Some HD front shackles. I’m going to take a couple of leaves out and get a local spring shop to reset the height. Hopefully that equals same lift + soft ride and more flex.
