i cant beleive how lucky i was to pick up the 2017 trakkadu with only 35000k's given my predicament
admittedly it was in townsville,but thats prob why the low price(i paid $6300 after fees)
i fitted the new front today and must say its taken my 2010 van to a new level of aesthetics
fitted drive shafts and hubs/brakes today so all thats left is:
bleed brakes
connect exhaust(need adapter made as new header pipe is larger dia trhan old header.i could swap the mufflers but getting lazy now)
swap out cluster
make a longer loom for DPF? pressure sensor(t6 is mounted near tailshaft where t5 is mounted on engine)
wire in different wing clearance lights
top up power steering tank(i swapped out full steering rack because t6 rack had low k's tie rod ends)
put the wheels back on then see if it starts
because it looks so good,i have decided to go the full monty and fit the 4 motion drive line.But not for a few weeks yet,i want to recover from this episode first(am an old fart and need a break)
this van should see me out,but not sure whether to blank off recirc cooler?...has D suffix and DPF...van had DPF light on all the time,prob due to oily exhaust....i just dont want a repeat
the last pic is an atv lifter which i use to lift my can am spyder
it was really helpful helping me with the weight of the hub/cv joint and shaft combined(i didnt split them as was swapping both out)...these were really heavy and im working alone...when finished i flipped the wood and used same as a stool
T6 front end
