  1. There are no CV joints for the wheels on the Utes. Guys are just popping tailshaft CVs due to the shaft hyper extending as the geometry is out. I have had SSL all round for over a year with no issues, no new noises, even the axle tramp has calmed down. Mine is a manual Feb 09. It is believed that earlier lowering methods were the culprits, reset leaves, blocks etc. Not heard of anyone doing a tailshaft with factory power for a long time. King springs revised the eyes on their leaves which fixed the problem I think.
  2. lol I think Trent drove me last year. I will get you a OJ Tab?
  3. I did a job for a customer who had a safe in his garage. Looked like a bloody fridge, I thought it was until I noticed the dial. It was 2k and was originally installed in a bank. Apparently there are companies that do second hand safes from banks, PO etc.
  4. The hole at the bottom of the wheels will release the airbag completely. Disconnect the airbag for 20mins or so and then turn the wheel 90 degrees to the left for the best access. There is a small hole that you can see a metal piece. Just behind it there is a retaining spring that holds the airbag in. You push the spring with a little force using a flat headed screwdriver ( some jiggling is required ). When the spring is pushed from the bottom the top compresses and releases its hold on the airbag. Takes some time to get the spring pushed properly and I found it always released one side first and I had to rejiggle the screwdriver to get the other side to release as well. It then just pulls out, remember to unplug the connections and where they came from. From there you can remove steering wheel for access to everything else. I highly recommend going the extra yards and removing the cluster whilst your there and sorting out any rattles or creaking you may have.
  5. I have a 09 Ute with standard sound and no globe holders. I took half the dash apart on the passenger side and unwrapped all the looms. Definitely not there. Not happy Ford.
  6. How the hell are the French in the Final
  7. I saw some pictures on the news of the hail, f*ck!!!! that was a lot, looked like a snowy day in England
  8. Do just the centre part. If you remove the entire lower section the front bar with look weird as there are 2 cut sections to accommodate the grille. It will look like those ricers who mutilate their bars to fit coolers. Look at ebay for an FG front bar and you will see what I mean.
  9. Ireland 15 - 6 Australia.
  10. Im down for some dead cow. Last place we went was Ok, pretty busy but think it was Christmas.
  11. Wheres your powercruise videos John? I expected to see heaps.
  12. those car advise angles make it more bearable. The XT actually looks alright, I like how the XRs get the old b series looking foggie surrounds, and the new ICC should be a winner.
  13. I thought I was the only one who doesn't like the new bumper. New lights were a given but its good to see Ford not penny pinching and the XRs get them as well. The LEDs on the G-specs is a bit wank.
  14. As the title states Write up Pictures
  15. I away on the 1st, will be down in Tamworth.
  16. we got unsold corporate tickets the day before the game. Same deal though mates ended up 2 rows behind. I just hate that ticketek have a monopoly on everything.
  17. A member here had them for sale a little while ago. I think he bought a few direct from the supplier with a view to sell them on in Oz, but they are expensive when you compare them with Autometer etc.
  18. Not if those muppets at ticketek are involved Matt. Was a nightmare to get Bledisoloe tickets for 8 people.
  19. lol awww thanks Trent didn't know you cared so much.
  20. thanks for the opportunity mate, give me a shout if you have any questions.
  21. I want to go retro and put my N64 in the ute
