yes it is better to take it out and clean it if you want, and it is dead easy, its 3 12mm or 14mm bolts if i mind right and 2 plugs and it pulls straight out

youd probably never have noticed it and most never use the diff lock anyway, and it wont do any harm to anything else if it stays ******.

to try it out, get on grass or sand or gravel (any loose su ...

good purchase!

31 1050 15 is a good size for them.

p.s. if your diff lock still works, make sure you clean out the space between the actuator and the axle case then fill it with silicone or un ...

i know it's no the question but how come polly bushes? just a daft question.

there deffo easier to fit but the rubber bushes from toyota will work much better all round

dose sound like its drawing air, but on the other hand if it was, it would be hard to start ?

you'll need to take of the pipes that run across the top of the engine and the throttle body (for lack of a better name) and the EGR intake on top of the intake manifold.

i'v no picture but its dead simple, the leaver goes down to the pin sticking out of the side of the box, then the linkage rod goes from about 2 inch above that pin to the selector rod

the first set of muds i ran were the original mf mud terrian's or km1 as you call em. and they were *****. i loved my mudzillas but wish they made them narrower! now i run the km2 and there much bette ...
