Jesus man that ain't a minivan
in other news the cruiser appears to have improved articulation since I dumped the sway bar and handles much the same on the road (like a boat)

"apparently" it's "illegal" to remove your sway bar. balls. anyone got a single bracket floating around

Failed WOF on no sway bar, windscreen crack (bottom left), vertical play in tie rod ends
Sway bar is going on for WOF then off again til next WOF. Or until I get cert for none
Carterton, but thats a bit much at the moment,
thanks
Got a new windscreen last week and ordered sway bar bits and whatnot. Chucked the sway bar back on tonight with shiny new links and brackets (which will remain shiny in my garage, not attached to anything for the next 6 months) and did the tie rod and relay rod ends. I'm not convinced there was anything wrong with the tie rod ends but the WOF sheet says "Excessive play" so may as well replace them, and the relay rod ends also because a) it's unclear whether the mechanic would differentiate between the tie rod and relay rod and b) the first tie rod end kit I found came with both. Need an alignment probably but WOF'd again

My gearbox (like presumably all H55Fs) has a leak between the transfer case and the gearbox where all the oil migrates from one to the other then starts leaking out. I bought a hose that connects the filler bungs of both to allow the oil levels to even out between them. It's maybe a bit long. I'm not sure how well it will work with the way I've had to route it.

The hose needs to remain lower than the oil level for the oil to move between the gearbox and transfer case. Do both run the same grade oil?
My land cruiser is auto so I am unsure
It is pretty straight forward to drop the transfer case off the box and replace the seals.
Yeah I'm going to run it lower when I put the bash plate back on under there. It's super long and would be fuck near dragging on the road if I routed it under the box without the bash plate. Both run 80/90Quote:

How is that hose connected to the fittings?Quote:

looks like a push lock barb, should be able to cut off carefully trim to length and push back on.Quote:

Also tested the flex with the sway bar attached and it's still able to get up on my half metre high front porch without lifting any wheels

Probably good enough but it's come off anyway, it's annoying breaking the brackets & makes zero difference on the road.
Hope to give it a good workout on the east coast next week now
