[Deadly]

Thanks mate Nah.....no real updates, although have fitted an aftermarket diesel tach.......just trying to sort out the wiring, mainly the pick up point on the alternator
Haven't even had a chance to break in the new CV,s yet!!!!

 

[ljacko78]

sucks breaking gear when you're helping people out AND that you lost ur lights as well. Scumbags man!

 

[Deadly]

Yes mate, it does ..............but, what can ya do

 

[Andrew]

hey deadly did you buy your new cv's on-line? if you did who from and how much if you don't mind me asking thx mate

 

[Deadly]

G'day mate, yes mate I got them off of evilbay (can't remember the seller, but was an Australian seller), where about $90 each for the complete axle from diff to hub

 

[Deadly]

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

 

[camo.b]

Were they a pre maid/purchased kit or did you put them together

 

[Deadly]

Nah mate, it as something I put together. I used 6mm silicone hose (ebay), the breathers are exhaust/silencers used on air rams & brass fittings.

 

[Deadly]

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!!!!!

 

[Deadly]

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

 

[Deadly]

Well looky here

[Deadly]

G'day mate, Yeh the Beacon's going OK. Trying to work out whether to do further mods on it......new roll bar, bodylift, turbo new front bar, or build a new one......................thinking dual cab, & some other goodies See what happens within the year.

Good luck with yours, pretty easy to build & plenty of bits available for them.

Wanting to get down to Vic, so would be good to catch up

 

[Deadly]

Well, The Beacon has gone to it's new home. It was in need of a big birthday, needed more loving then I was prepared to give it. A bloke I work with has brought it as a project for him & his son.
