1999 MU

A freind of mine is looking at buying a 1999 MU, 3.0ltr deisel. Anyone had any experience or feedback on this model. The one he is looking at has done 208 ks. Sadly it's on trade me so no physical inspection can be done. Does need a rear door spare wheel mount as this is missing. Hopefully they're ...

Re: Recovery points 1995 MU

Don't get me wrong, I'm very safety conscious and wouldn't do anything that could be dangerous. Having had a good look at the front and after talking to an engineer freind, I think we can make something for the front. Something along the lines of plates bolted to mounting points on the front of the ...

Re: Recovery points 1995 MU

Having seen how Best Bars test their bars on their test rig I can attest that they are very safe with the ratings they put on their bars. Mine is attached each side as you describe. Just got a 4.8 shackle for the rear. Hole for towball about 0.5mm too small. Easy enough to open out. Your comments on ...

Recovery points 1995 MU

Hi guys. I have some questions re recovery points for the MU. I've read what I can find on this forum and I'm feeling a bit confused. My MU does have the standard factory hook on the front, but nothing on the rear. It does have a factory towbar (Bestbars NZ) fitted. Whilst I'm considering doing any ...

Re: Coil overs in rear of 95 MU

I agree. Shock mounts won't take vehicle weight without modification, then of course a recert. Thanks for the info

Re: Coil overs in rear of 95 MU

Yeh that's what I originally thought but didn't really want to go that way. Been away from the trade for a while, any idea where I can get the extra leafs done. I used to use Smells in Newmarket but I don't think they exist anymore

Coil overs in rear of 95 MU

A question. My UBS69 MU sits s little low in the rear. It's not much, but I see a lot of swb 4x4s sitting a bit lower in the rear. As I don't want to lift the MU, well not for a long while anyway, I was wondering if anyone has tried a set of adjustable coil over shocks for similar problems. I was ...

Re: 4jg2t turbo noise , oil drain pipe leaking!!!

Hi guys just read this thread and thought I'd add my comments and my fix. Turbo noise is normal but of course an overly loud whine suggested something ain't right. I have a 4jg2 MU with 260000 ks and as has been mentioned before here it does breath heavily through the engine breather. This sadly is ...
