Corey, what about jeeps? Few Cherokees around? Also looking at pajero's prado's pathfinders and maybe x5's

Stay away from jeeps unless you like catching on fire

Yes to prados, and x5's seem nice

Pathfinders are a pain to repair, especially the transfer cases and the electrics. Early Pajeros are good, the new ones had a recall from memory for overheating problems but they are weeding them out, gearboxes in them are strong but if you are going to tow campers/boats/caravans/race cars you may need to invest in airbags as they sag in the ass real bad

Leaning towards pajero's now. Only looking at putting 150ish on the ball. That only drops the rear of the zook 25mm so doubt the paj will sag any further. Unfortunately recently found out our car is good for 85kg only. Spewin cos it tows it well

Something like this Trev? Pajero's depreciate far worse than Prados so you can pick up a relatively late model one in good condition for considerably less $$

One of our mechanics had one, did 400,000 kms without too many dramas.

120 Series Prado would be a good tow vehicle as well if you can find one at a comparable price to a Pajero.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
