Dyers' 96 VS ute

[Tom_1569]

Nice, yeah the 4.2's arnt bad, my bro-inlaw has one, never serviced, always flogged, rough as #### on, still keeps going. Other bro-inlaw has the 2.8L model, does the job, but needs more poke haha.
My cruiser has 3" straight back from the Turbo, no mufflers, its loud and with 33's the turbo is going hackers, cant wait for the 35's to go back on.

Haha yeh mate they get a bit like that..my starter motor died the other day...$450 later shes back on the road lol stick with it man...no matter wat u get it will still hav problems

My ute has leaked in the passenger footwell a couple of times NFI what causes it but it hasnt done it for ages, touch wood cause my car is a filing cabinet atm haha.

With the latch, is it when you open the tailgate the things dont spring back out to hold it shut? If it is, take them out and clean all the dirt and **** and regrease, worked with mine, needs doing again soon though.

nah its not that bit on the tailgate, its the alloy bits that sit on either side of the tailgate on the tub itself.

Neat ute mate. Any more recent pics and details of whats happening?

 

[old mate]

haha havent checked this in a bit.

ute still goes, i just fixed the floppy getrag shifter with some new bushes. it needs a set of spark plugs though, leads are fine.

did a quarter mile run using the iphone app 'light em up' (same as dynolicious, just with heaps of bosch adverts).

if you look at the power graph, you can see its not running very nice as the curve is very choppy.

i think the power would be pretty on the mark, i put 1500kg in as the vehicle weight as the other day i weighed it on our weighbridge and its was 1390kg nearly empty of fuel so now with around 20L in the tank and me driving it would be very close to 1500kg.

i'm going to get new shocks and a rear anti roll bar soon.
