@MrBadreligionz cheers, mate.

@@ben501st cheers for the heads up.

2" front 3" rear

@opusdei51 cheers, but the video's free right?

@jarrodwareham4565 no, we didn't.

@ k bcoz I lifted mine an the bolts aren't longer enough for more then 5mm of shims

An it still need another 3 mil of shims

@jarrodwareham4565 that's alot of camber

@jarrodwareham4565 the kit comes with bolts from memory

Yep standard re4 auto and converter

Engine has a couple extra bolt holes that are not used

@@dodgy_garage_4x4 awesome! thanks man, so pretty straight forward aside from ECU then

@nightkids7163 Mechanically has been simple so far... will have to take some more videos on the weekend

@@dodgy_garage_4x4 keen on doing exactly this with my GQ, having a hell of a time finding a 48 tho lol

eBay cheapies, wouldn't recommend them.

@cubacrew07 Hi, I couldn't be sure of the issue. But if it was me, I'd swap the bulbs back out to the original ones just to see if it rectified the issue. If the connections are all good, then I don't understand why that's happened. For me, it sounds like you've missed something, but again, I'm drawing a long bow here without seeing it.

@@dodgy_garage_4x4 yeah I think that's what I am going to have to try first. It seems weird that the battery gauge worked when I replaced those bulbs but something since changing the ones in the main cluster has caused that, the Speedo, and the revs to stop working. I couldn't see anything amiss on the back but I'll pull it back out again today and see. Hope it's nothing too major as I'm supposed to be heading on a road trip soon!

@@dodgy_garage_4x4 so just as an update, I found a fuse that had gone and all is good now. Although the cruise control isn't working now. Any ideas what could have gone since it was working before this? Will check more fuses but unsure there is a CC fuse.

@cubacrew07 The switch is on the instument cluster, which has been taken out, would be taking a look at that first. See if something is not quite right. The plug me be seated, but the contacts are sus. Maybe spray a bit of isopropyl alcohol on the contacts to clean them up.

Hi, on standard shocks I would imagine they might reach their capacity on droop. But if you're doing anything like this, even adjusting the tortion bars you'd probably want to throw in a set of 2" raised shocks for extra travel.

Thanks for watching.

@stuiescampingadventures cheers Stuie, we had a ball. The NK didn't miss a beat.

Mate, we just had to go for it. There's no way we were going back, needed to get to Licola for the loo 🙄

@@Morphic-Realms. cheers mate, I love it... taken me many places and made many memories.

@leetos.4915 in Oz, non OEM, $210 rotors, $135 pads, $65 bearings, $12 grease. If you're not doing it yourself, I'm not sure of the labour cost. Thanks for watching.

Watch the video, mate. It'll make sense.

Not sure mate, have you tried Amazon or eBay etc?

@@dodgy_garage_4x4 eBay is out of stock and Amazon is like $170 was thinking they would be cheaper

@samulivasankari4342 Hi, you get 4 x 10mm shims in the kit. But you need to go to a tyre place and get a wheel alignment done. They will set the correct gap.

​@@dodgy_garage_4x4Does the suspension character change after installing the balljoint spacer? And is the upper arm still in good condition?

T10 for the big bulb.

Don't worry about the about the age of the car..... It's a well engineered, old school Japanese manufactured vehicle, that's built to last. And the beauty of being old school is that is doesn't have all the new age tech and electronics at risk of failure and expensive repairs. There are still parts around, driveline parts are getting a little scarce, but there are engine swap options galore for the Gen 2. The 6G74 with the DOHC is a torquey motor with plenty of power and for the most part is very reliable. Maintenance is the key to a long drivetrain life, my NK gets an oil change every 5k, and with every off road vehicle, servicing the drivetrain after water crossings and mud is a must. The Gen 2 is is a very underrated off roader, it's capable of taking you to pretty much any where you need to go with the correct mods. Enjoy you new toy, get out there and give it a crack

Yes they are 👍🏻

Mate, you're all over it.... well done on having a solid plan for the rig. I'm in total agreement with all you have stated. Nothing more satisfying when you give it a crack, have success, and learn stuff about yourself, your capabilities, and, of course, your truck. Thanks for your kind words and support.

@@troyaus6069 you could... but it's not hard at all to do with the ball joint connected either.

Had a few issues will faulty LED's, but still all good. Recommended upgrade for sure.

Thanks mate

Don't recon it'll be any heavier than those other metal ones. I know the Kings one weighs around 27kg

I'll have to admit, not my idea.... One of the Dodgy crew, Nathan AKA, Cpt Risky, came up with this.

@@dodgy_garage_4x4 Thanks, I stay in Namibia where the climate is quite warm. Will it still be OK?

@ThoseFunnyAnimals23 Being that your climate is vasily different to Australia, i would try and get some local advice, mate. Will also depend on mileage.

@@dodgy_garage_4x4 Thanks, another question. The the green lights that indicates your wheel usage. Two aren't working even though the 4x4 is engaging and working fine. Could the bulbs behind just have popped? It's a 1997 model.

@@ThoseFunnyAnimals23 most likely, i do have another video showing how to change out for LED. Take a look at that.

Thank you! Cheers!

@@stuiescampingadventures i was excluded from this trip, I'm not fun enough.

We went on the weekend, no snow, unfortunately 😐

@taukirihepi8350 It's a Bocar brand, I've never seen another like it to date though! It came on the Paj.

Thanks from the uk!

I think they use the banjo bolt mate. I'd stick with genuine if you can. Or alternatively have them made up by a hydraulic hose company. When you're talking, high amounts of pressure don't go cheap. I don't mind a bargain by any means, but you need to pick your parts. The last thing you need is power steering fluid spraying throughout your engine bay.

The squeak usually happens when turning or going over a speed bump or slowing down

I'm not sure, mate, i do have a squeek. Its upper control arm related. Just haven't got around to replacing them.

@troyaus6069 it's not really an exact science. It's really dependent on the condition of your tortion bars. I would think 1-3 splines is about average. Remember that the end result is really achieved winding the bar up or down at the other end. Re-indexing just gives you back more leverage when your bars are starting to relax with age.

Regular 5k oil changes using the Castrol Magnatec 10W 40 oil. Still hardly any lifter tick sfter all this time.

There is another video on how i fixed it. Watch that 👍🏻

@@dodgy_garage_4x4 i have that problem on 6g72 12v, on right head :/

@Ivan_kok1 try the oil. Just run it through and see how you go.

@@dodgy_garage_4x4 u have instagram?

A few cold nights pulling bits off then half a day to get it out... if only we knew what we were doing!! The engine removal video will be out in a little bit. Stay tuned.

​@@dodgy_garage_4x4 cool
