Re: Why Manual Hub

- Manual hub allows you to go 2x4 in low range. I.e. without the front wheels being driven. It is a slight advantage in slow traffic on tarmac, saves the clutch a bit if you move very slowly. With auto locking hubs you cannot do this unless you are on dirt roads, since then you can damage the drive ...

Re: Y62 Portal Axles

Portals is just something that I would love to have, but it doesnt make financial sense to me at the moment . Nice to have, but I think our vehicles with big lifts will have to do for now... Till I win the Lotto :rolling: I don't think portal axles ever made financial sense, to anyone, ever! :rolli...

Re: Retirement bakkie

It says that it is a TD42 turbo. If it is a factory turbo, those TD42s have the more effective oil cooling. Not sure how it works but runs much cooler than after market turbos. I had a factory turbo Td42 with top mount intercooler in a Series 4 station wagon and it never got hot. In fact the max wat...

Re: Cooked Ignition Coils

I'm no expert, but I'd say a combination of age and the water on a hot coil or water on the voltage supply to the coils. That's why one should only buy TD42 patrols or ZD30 if your name is Reenen. :biggrin: I did not know this was a risk for coils. Wilfred, do you think the "puddle of mud wate...

Re: Conversion of a lifetime. Comments please

Ja, I won't go the Portal route. I have more than enough clearance on Toro, and as PC says, the reduction is marginal. It is the crawler gear that I would have really liked, and that is not available for Safari MK/MQ,160 models. I still would like to have an clever drivetrain engineer (Like PC's) op...

Re: Conversion of a lifetime. Comments please

In my opinion, Torro wants three more mods to make it one of the most capable 4x4's in our circle: Crawler gears Hydro-assist steering and a traction bar on the rear axle. Ultimately, I want to take out the sandwich locker on the front and replace with a proper diff locker. As for crawler gears, I ...

The Story of Toro

I am looking at reviving an old thread Back in 2016, Ruan Scholtz managed to put a GQ (Y60) top onto a Safari (MQ) Chassis. The operation was a success, albeit quite a bit of grinding and welding as the engine sits quite far back in the bay. Images on Post 22 of the thread. Since then I think he sol...
