Just be careful with that stuff, you dont want it getting on your hootus!!

Always drop to at least 16 on the sand, have been down to 12 comfortably. As long as your sensible, I cant see a problem dropping down to 8-10 on the sand.

Should have checked in the Oz section mate, 12A is giving a set away.

That's me, have had 6 made so far, but I have access to trade cost material and a full CNC machine shop. I uses Ø50mm solid ali round bar, 4 of mine were 50mm (2") tall, 2 were only 30mm tall. If you can get aluminium, it would be preferable.

Mines the same, Manual, 4.8 on 31's. I will get between 600-700 depending on how heavy my foot is.

Best thing you could do is have a look at the R50's on the market for the same dollars as the pristine WD, if an R50 in the same condition is going to cost you a few grand more, grab the WD and put the difference into making it your own (tyres, lift & anything else you want).

G'day Eric, should be easy enough to get hold of mate, even if they dont have them on the shelf, Supercheap will order them in, or give Perth4wd centre a call, they stock a few parts for them too. changing them is nice and easy, I have the workshop manual as PDF of you want a copy, has helped me a bit.

Yup, it is.

Yep, TD27. If your looking at switching to diesel, try to find a QD32 instead, same block as the TD27 but close to 50% more power.

I drove mine to work,same as I do every day. Might finally install my new aerial this arvo if time allows, it is currently sitting on top of my dash plugged in. Also will check fluid levels.

There is a guy here in Perth, OZ in the middle of the same conversion, I might see if I can get a sneak peak to see how his conversion is going.

G'day mate, take one down to Coventrys, they will be able to match them up, make sure you get grade 8.8

Awesome work mate, glad to see you didnt give up on her. How did you go with sorting out the front end?

Tach will be electrical pickup, check all connections on the back of the circuit board, I'm pretty sure I've read that they can have loose earth connections which can cut out some components. (I'm certain I've seen someone lose their tach through this problem)

I disagree, there is a chinese manufacturer who makes 28 spline manual hubs for the Pathy, click the clicky below to go to the manufacturers site, is the same hubs. I have contacted the manufacturer in the past and can get them dirt cheap, but without knowing the quality or reliability factor and needing to order 50 sets at a time, it never went any further. CLICKY

This one? CLICKY

I dont think the 3 + 3 = 33 was ever a rule, but as a guide its the best way, it will allow you to return your Pathy to stock if the need ever arrises.

They are probably Chinese, I know of a manufacturer in China who can do them for around half that from memory, but with a minimum order of 50 sets its not viable.

Glad to hear it Eddie, now get your tyres sorted so we can go and test it properly.

No worries mate, hope she doesnt play up any more. Always good to swing a spanner every now and then, now just have to get my tools back in the truck. Still think there is a small issue as its not charging as well as it should, but is better than not charging at all

Nah mate, you were right the ~st time, all RHD.
