there is lighthouse but if you got a credit card ya cant beat 4wd hardware or quadratech. squeaking noise i would guess being the dc joint on the front prop.

If the order process from Quadratech and 4wd simple of do you have to arrange shipping yourself etc etc?

cheers

Ordering from the states will usually get your stuff to your door in about 10 days, 4WD and Quadratec will sort the shipping when they realise you're in the UK.

Matco Lighthouse really will be your best bet, at least get a quote before making big decisions  :-(

matco, i had a clutch master and slave cylinder assembly from lighthouse, came next day. The slave is available on its own.

Replacement clutch kit came from 4WD.com, can take as little as 6 days sometimes

look at your options, not worth selling the truck  :wink:

Sorry to hijack but do you guys purchase large items from the US to be shipped over?

Only ask as I am after replacement rear leafs and buying from the states might mean looking at modest lift kits.

It's a balancing act. They leaves will be cheap, but they're big and damn heavy, so the shipping is the killer.
For new rear springs and fittings, you're looking at < £250 from Lighthouse.

The cause is wear and tear and dryness. The remedy for the sparrows in your prop is needle nosed grease gun and squidge as much grease in as possible which will work for a while you then might need to give me a shout as I know a company who'll build you a new one  :wink:
