and the track rod ?

Yeah, that's well-bent ..

It's the steering damper bar.

I've not seen one quite so bad.

Yea it's pretty bent lol that's what happens when it won't go up the ditch I wanted to, so I fort sod it flat out, only trouble is now I actually need it on Wednesday as car is out of tax and was going to use Landy for work

Where abouts are you based? I have got a set of standard steering arms for a 300TDi setup sitting in my container, I can bring them home to colchester if you wanted them? Think they are all pretty good still, what I took off when I got HD bars...

I've still got this head unit for you Jon.

Ok mate Drizz is checking the set he has got if there no good I will let u know cheers mate I'm in Braintree so not far thick I got starter motor from u

There good vehicles, on road they are a dream to drive, off road they are pretty capable, they are let down by the huge rear diff tho. I went Shogun as there are loads of spares compared to the rest and they are a nice size if you get a SWB one. Its no where near as fun as the Defender but for £900 I cant complain!

Aye always liked the Surfs, reliability of a Hi-Lux with more covered space and cheaper to buy!
Give it a few months and i'll start looking about, will have a free space in the workshop by then lol

I am in no rush at the moment, is it still in braintree? Will see what Bizgsi is doing with these steering rods and if he wants mine, if not I will try to organise a night I will pop over (unless you come this way first).

Cheers

Jongould said:

That looks a beast! What engine does it use, Chevy, Ford e.t.c? Use to love the sound of me ol' mans 5.7 Ford small block. I do like the yankee stuff, shame they never figured out how to drive in the correct side though

AMC 5.9L V8. 2 barrel carb. Got it running couple days ago.

'82 Cherokee Chief, 360, engine running - YouTube

The crappy camera mic doesn't do the side pipes justice!

This ones quite rare in that it had the 'proper' rhd conversion.

Know of a few lardy compers that stick the entire drivetrain under their rigs as it's bulletproof (i should know, that's where the drive train from my first FSJ went. Some bloke in Wales has it under his Sii)

Very quietly.



As in "click".................

Needs work. But i've had three of these in the past, and the engines are bulletproof. Minimal electrickey to deal with, only requires the three basics to run; fuel, spark and air. No computer degree needed.
Won't be a massive hurdle. I've just not dived into it yet as it was only recently given to me.

So let me get this right, this was given to you!

Jammy git.

Hi chaps,

I got my 90 in january and am now finally able to look to use it properly. I live around the Colchester area. I'd be interested in tagging along with any laning you're doing, if you'd take a newbie that is

Cheers,
Tom

Gladly! No probs. Just seems most of us dont have them out at the mo. Mines off for various mods, a couple are sorn'd or broken but keep an eye on here and im sure we will be out soon!
