Picked up an 01 today 117000kms...has a rebuilt gearbox at 100k anyways $NZ2,500 (bout $US1,551) Time to look at some countryside ;) yip its coming into winter :oops::D

Going across the blustery Bluff causeway in November to watch the hill climb when the Burt used to be on was damn scary :oops:, seen people make the mistake of stopping then topple over, ya cant stop to help cause you'd end up like them.:eek:

Found one of the rubber mounts I'd lost 45kms away from my home at an intersection down the road from my daughters house...also I hadn't noticed that they are slightly wider at one end, 21mm and 19mm the wider end mounts/faces towards the front (shows this in the instructions I posted lol)

Found a local supplier :D(PlenterNZ) NZ$37.50 delivered bout US$23.28

'Currently not available' Interesting i see they fit FJR and FJ9. Good thread that also has Checkswrecks suggestion on how to make replacements.
