Rocky - what should i use to remove hub cover

Forum: 

Hi all, We are re-painting our Rocky's wheels, after we got a suitable socket and Bar to get the wheels off we have the next tricky thing to get off is/are the Hub Covers, I wonder what tool do you use to get them off, I have been using a flat bladed screwdriver at the moment, which is obviously NOT VERY GOOD, it obviously needs a wide flat bladed tool with a right angle bend at the end of it, has anybody any suggestions what i can adapt for this job, please.

nissan terrano offroad

Forum: 

Hi guys, My wife has a LWB nissan terrano and I have to say I am impressed by the amount of power and the superlow ratio gearbox and was wondering whether anyone has any experience of a SWB version and whether they are any good offroad cos they look awfully low at the front end. I currntly take my sporty offroad and I am pleased with it but feel that sometimes it just lacks that bit of power so I am considering changing it for something with more grunt.

What model is this ?

Forum: 

I've decided that my Jeep CJ-5 restoration is going to be a very long term projest so am looking for a vehicle to use in the mean time (by past experience that'll probably mean several years Smile )
Normally I buy older Land Rovers but am very dissolusioned with them so am looking at the alternative and fancy a Daihatsu.
The model I like is the older Fieldman with flat metal roof rather then the later raised (composite ?) type.

Kenlowe Fan

Forum: 

I am seriously considering replacing my viscous fan for a 16" blower fan from Kenlowe for my '94 Fourtrak F78 after taking to caravanning. So I was wondering if anyone has fitted one to theirs and how you found fitting it. Kenlowe have said it is a simple DIY job but I would value any of your experiences before I go ahead and order.

Look forward to hearing from you Wink

Carb sporty engine as spare for EFI sporty?

Forum: 

Greetings again all Sportrak Devotees from the land of Ice and Fire, Björk and Brennivín...

A kindly mate has offered me a 1992 Feroza ELII (there are no other Sportraks here in Iceland) gratis. It has a carb.
Will the engine be compatible with my 1997 Sportrak XiSE (as you know it has EFI)and is it difficult to adapt a carb engine for an injection?
Also as the Sporty is RHD and his Feroza LHD any problem cannabalizing the gearbox with some fatha beans and a nice chianti to use as a spare?
