How will the ball joint on the sway bar affect alignment?
Or can you see other damage

setup the enterprise mod today. the roads were slippery this morning so it's hard to say. I did notice that the boost gauge didn't hit 30 every time I dropped a gear and floored it though.

pretty sure i gave it a 1/4 turn anticlockwise and put the chip on tun8. haven't tried towing as its been raining and i don't work in the rain. will be taking it offroad though tomorrow so will see then

Oil and filter change, and as this was the first one I have done to this rig I found that you have to pull the turbo hose off to get the filter out, but I suppose a lot of you know that already :D

You don't have to take the hose off if you access it from the wheel arch.

Repaired dump pipe, welded new top rear shock mount on, replaced LHS ball joints, tie rod ends and steering rack. Wheel alignment done. 8-)

Now off on a day trip to Sydney and back. Glad we have good tyres these days.

Remember the good old cross ply tyres Tony. Great fun in the wet :shock:
I had a set of 7.00R16's on a 1980 Hilux with a well warmed over 18RG motor, twin 40mm side draft Dellorto's and a 2.5" sports exhaust

Serious amount of understeer at times :D

Just picked up the MN after having the ARB trade rack and awning installed, and now have it booked in to get the light force 215's installed and a rear locker. lets just say the wife hates it when i come back from ARB or any 4x4 shop for that matter :)

had a day off, so went to visit 5th for a bit of advice...

Not enough to really break the car, but just enough to be annoying!
Reversing + ratty child in the back + alloy tray at 'just' the right height...

Booking it in for a touch of paint! Thanks 5th!

Not today, but Friday, hit just over 100k so went past the local dealer and traded the MN on a runout PC Challenger, should pick up early next week. Better the devil you know :)
And as a going away present to the ute, hooked up the new caravan for its first trip down south, in appalling conditions. The run back was awesome. Been a great 2.5 years, many memories. Gonna miss this ol girl...
