Here in Melbourne we can drive to work or the shops, walk around the block and that is it. Stay inside your home otherwise.
Easter is a long weekend here and the police presence is already building, they have dumped sand in skateparks, put boulders in boat ramps and entrances to campgrounds etc etc.
Plenty of idiots will ruin it for the guys doing the right thing though. $1600 fine if you're caught. I sure can't afford that so I'll be at home climbing the walls for 4 days.
Take care all. -
Agreed best results are with relays and good uprated halogen globes, that way you improve the low beams without blinding others and improve the hi beams.
Can always augment with a light bar or foggies.

Mr_Reverse you're a lucky man.

Will have a look for you.
There is a guy on our local FB group selling a complete axle, he might be happy to remove the backing plates? can put you in touch? -
I think you're nuts if you don't.
My WD21 is 300km away at another property and I can't go and work on it due to lockdown.I live in a small unit & have a single garage which currently has my half-restored dodge dart and my Harley electraglide parked perpendicular in front of the dodge.…. So full I can't even move in there.
It's real sucky so If you have the room and means to do things, remember that I am jealous…. And enjoy!

I can check eBay Aus for you, just let me know the items

I'd keep the whole thing behind the shed if you can. The part you need is always without fail the one you didn't keep and can't get easily. I kept a spare parts car for my last WD and it kept my car going for 11 years. G/box, suspension, seats, glass, little knick-knacks... You name it. I wish I had it now.

So I got up to our property a couple of weeks ago and removed the LP Gas tank and the auxiliary fuel tank that was fitted.
In addition I got up under the dash and cleaned up all of the old 90s add-ons and the LPG wiring. Was a great feeling removing all the dodgy splices and re-taping the loom like OEM!
Got rid of this car alarm too
Pulled the sender out of the tanks, thinking I'd just use the OEM one out of the aux tank....
Now I should have expected this, as the PO told me the car had not been ran on petrol for over 10 years...
Not sure if you can quite imagine the smell, but think of varnish mixed with stale red wine.
Anyhow, OEM tank is fitted but waiting for a factory Z24 low pressure pump/pickup assy, which I now have as well as a good carb for it
As soon as lockdown is done, I'll get over there and get if fired up on petrol, then I can see about getting it registered!
That's it for now
Stay safe out there guys!

My boss is not coping with it well. He has cancelled all meetings at work and locked himself in the office. He also opened all of the doors and has the air-conditioning running cold full-time. It's 9 degrees in our factory, and even wearing 4 layers and a beanie we are all shivering cold.
He is sitting there soaking up all the media coverage and plugging all of the worldwide death figures into a pivot table and trying to model what will happen in the next 100 days. He told me and a colleague that statistically 2 people at our workplace will get it and die.... A real ray of sunshine!

That's not a bad looking truck at all! We never got those over the pond here, but I imagine they would have been popular if we did.

Just wondering how everyone is faring in the current situation.
I'm in Melbourne Australia and we are only really just starting to ramp up the lockdowns.No one seems to be taking the warning for distancing seriously - 100s of people still flocking to beaches etc...
I took my Harley out on Saturday (didn't stop anywhere populated and took my own lunch) for what will be my last non-commuting ride for quite some time.
I am fortunate to be still in work but plenty of us are doing it hard over here.
How are things where you are from?
I hope every one makes it through in one piece.-

That it is 300km away on my other property at the moment....
-
Melbourne here, seems our kind are drying up although I still see a couple on the road!
-
Removed dodgy LPG conversion and belly tank, fitted factory fuel tank.
Removed 80s car alarm, other wiring add-ons and returned wiring loom under dash and in engine bay to OEM. Most Satisfying! -
I think that's easily justified if they are parked nearby - security for them too given there is evidently theif activity in the area. I'd jump at it if it were my neighbour asking.

That's great info. I wonder if you got a 2nd pair you could linish or machine them down to compensate for the gap.
-
Welcome Misael! Got an Aussie spec (Carb Z24 5 spd) 1987 myself. Congrats on your new truck
-
PS, that thing looks like it will be a weapon. Love it!

Never seen one on the few Aussie cars I have pulled apart, I think as long as you have your hub seal (40232) in place you should be okay.
You could run a bead of rtv between the knuckle/stub axle and dust shield if you are concerned.
Anyone else seen this?
-
How's the truck perform with the webers? Considering doing same....
-
Jesus, that's a bad day out wheeling! (or a great day with some collateral damage)
-
It's interesting that over there you guys seem to always mount your CB/UHF antenna on the rear comer of the car.
Do you have laws against putting it on the front or in the field of vision?
Over here in Aus they get fitted almost exclusively to the front on a bracket on the bullbar.
Maybe we're just too lazy over here to route the cable all that way under the carpet

Man that is absolute filth! You can be a smoker without being a filthy pig!
Good on you for taking it on though, braver man than me haha -
They have them listed on their website as a stand-alone item:

Corona Lockdown in your area?

Dozzer it is legit. A learner driver got a $1600 fine for being out on a driving lesson with her mother, cop deemed it non-essential travel... BAM.
With all the job losses etc no-one can afford it either, so best to stay at home. Also 2 housemates playing cricket in the street, 10 m apart, 1600 each.
