F* stuffed it.
prop and tail shaft spinning but no drive.
Following a big *crack!* going up a hill.
suspect a combination of rear cw+pinion + front cv.
Maxidrive axles and MD diff lock in rear + maxidrive axles and HD CVs in the front.
:mad::(
...oh well, I guess I know what im doing next weekend.
Changed the headlight bulbs for some H4 +120's as low beam had blown on the drivers side.

What vehicle did you do this to, and how do you like them?Quote:

Set up a new temporary air intake on the D1 V8 so it's a little more water friendly. Then promptly proceeded to test it out on the railway service track behind our property - Big muddy bog holes and long rutted muddy sections.
Forgot why I was there and got a bit carried away, ended up about 20ks down the track and got home in the dark so photos tommorow ;)
Now I know it works going to order some polished aluminium pipe and make it all again.
Timing belt and p gasket on the ute thermostat rad cap rear window reg wired up an outlet for the fridge and a full detail for the disco
Slowly crossing items off the list.
Spring change was ok, but ended up using spring compressors and a bottle jack to do the change over. I discovered the diff lock switch is completely cactus. I locked the cdl while the disco was jacked up and forgot to unlock but didn't get chimes or dash light. The traction control firing off while doing a tight turn in reverse was a bit of a giveaway!
The todo list:
- Fluid change diffs, transfer case
- Oil and filter change Td5
- Fluid change power steering and ACE, replace rubbed PAS hose
- extract stuffed torx screw, replace filter and do second fluid change on Auto.
- Fitnew dobinsons springs andkoni heavy track shocks
- replace faulty diff lock switch

I will eventually go for the Trucklite Phase 7's but just needed to fix the blown globe and thought I may as well improve the lighting at the same time.
did you disconnect the abs sensor and hang the brake caliper from the chassis? how is the ride now?. :)Quote:

I've gained about 35mm in ride height front and rear - fronts are right on the maximum standard height and the rears are about 2cm over. With a bit of load the rear should be spot on. The koni's finally arrived this afternoon so I have a few days to get them installed :)
I'm looking forward to giving the setup a bit of a work out over the next couple of weeks.
cheers
