    Did the 94-97 SR ever come with 4.90 gears and air locker?

    I took out my 4.636 diffs and put in 4.875s,but I did the whole axles and not just the diffs,and I'm not sure are they physically the same size,because there was 2 sizes of 4.875 diffs made,and I fancy putting in a Lokka sometime soon,which will only fit in the bigger diff

    my $10 speaker upgrade

    Do they say Bose on them?! Can't be that bad for 10 beans. Did you find out the configuration of the front speakers,are they in series or parallel?

    Did the 94-97 SR ever come with 4.90 gears and air locker?

    I got some even more confusing information,in Australia the 3.0 V6 came with the bigger 4.875 diffs if they are manual,and smaller 4.875 if they are auto,but they only got the 12v engine and not the 24v :Wow1: I took the 4.636 axles out of my japanese 2.8 and replaced them with 4.875s from a...

    Did the 94-97 SR ever come with 4.90 gears and air locker?

    So does anyone know what the codes on the top of the front diff housing actually mean,I had a theory,and googling it blew it straight out of the water and confused it further. The best way to see if your diff is a locking one is to get under and take a peek,non locker will just have a breather...

    Paging Hilldweller and other light geeks...

    I agree with you,there is a lot of hot air there but I wouldn't say it's incorrect,just going into a small bit too much detail over super trivial stuff and making it seem like it makes a huge difference,some of it is true,but it is fairly one sided too. It's more a site full of facts that...

    so I'm on the fence about which gears to go with

    I went from 4.636 to 4.875 and the difference wasn't that big to be honest,so i'd go whole hog and stick the 4.9's into yours and be done with it,otherwise you'll be wondering what it would be like with the 4.9s The axle swaps aren't too hard to do either,I swapped the whole axle rather than...

    Paging Hilldweller and other light geeks...

    Are you sure you can't be tempted to put in a new circuit with a relay running from a switch in the cab? You might even get away with using the fog light switch depending on the mechanism inside it. Doing that will open you up to a whole load of other options then. I've a cheap-o LED bar on...

    CB Antenna - Where + how to mount it...?

    I've mine on a mag mount right at the back. It stays on through most stuff,but if a heavy branch is dragging along my roof it will peel it off. The spoiler may be helping to keep it on though. Any excuse to post a pic I guess!

    The 5.29 gears are found in the LWB pajero/shoguns with the 2.5 diesel engine. And the whole bonnet is different on the 2.8 which is the one with the scoop,there is a plastic bit at the front of the scoop,but the rear part is actually pressed out of the skin,your best bet would be to buy the...

    UK Pajero owners near Manchester? Parts yards?

    Most places around there won't let you walk around and take bits and bobs off due to insurance and the fact people tend to give themselves the "5 finger discount" on a lot of things. You'll also find the owners of these kind of places really intimidating,rude and generally aggressive. Manchester...

    Montero help for a newbie!!

    I'm not sure about your oil burning question because I know nothing of petrol engines. The wobble could be anything from wheel balance,to the pitman arm,give the Ball joints a good greasing and the pitman arm. Check the bushes for wear in the wishbone and the bottom of the shock absorber...

    The evolution of L200 NB

    Thats a really nice L200 I must say. Have you looked into the GKN overdrives you can get to make up for them being very low geared for cruising,it might save you a lot of money if you're doing big milage of just cruising. The back bumper is mad too,where did you get that?
