Im Luke,
Heres my 2001 4life. its now got 75k on the clock and I got it for a steal

ive only fitted the egr removal kit, stickered it up, sprayed the wheels black and bought a tailgate pad. A few niggles that need sorting but ill get there.

Nice enough truck

yeah, it does the job for now. basic but its straight

Where's the tailgate pad from?

Amazon. I was after the dakine one but they were all out of stock in medium size. This works sweet for me though and its great quality. jdm stuff is great

A good looking bus that Luke....

nice truck mate

@S13dr1fter looks good mate what did she set ya back if ya dont mind me asking

That's a smart looking truck

2400. fresh cam belt at 68k and fsh. bought it on 71k.

great price mate where did you pick it up from.
I am on the look out or another

around here it was too good to pass up. ive seen dogs here for 3k with twice the milage :o
it was from Weymouth. bit of rust here and there but what do you expect.

Private sale then.
dogs for 3K LOL

same as vw t4s around here what with surfing and stuff. want insane prices.

It does have 2 problems that are annoying me though. Is it common for the leaf springs to knock when cornering? like slip a tad and made a klunk.

er no.
could be worn bushes though.
I had a broken leaf that did that

Truck looks good, and 71,000 miles on a 13 year old motor is excellent

The clunking's not good - you definitely want to check the leafs on the springs as a cracked one that let go and got caught in the wheel would ruin your entire year, if not decade...

ive had it on the ramps and checked it out. I even thought it may be a really loose or shot wheel bearing. sooo much bloody wax oil it would be hard to see a crack.

I thought that the leafs shifting a small amount would be suspect as the retaining compression bolt? will stretch and not hold them tight together. just going by what ive heard on other forums really.
this forums great. really active

My truck clunks a little in the wet. U bolts can come a little loos and cause knocking. Sometimes a good clean between the leafs can help a little. Also as mentioned worn bushes can cause a clunk but replacement poly bushes are pretty cheap.

Make sure the spare wheel is tight up. That clunks.

yes. it is a lot more when wet. im not touching those u bolts haha. they will fall off. it was used to put a boat into the sea on occasions.....

Lol maybe worth a new set! Have heard mixed things about suppliers but mine are GKN items that were sourced through a company called TBR. They felt pretty tough when fitting.

KS I (advertise down the bottom of here) do the bolts, too.

cant be the spare wheel. took it off lol it was bald. literally.
ill get to the bottom of it soon when the weather clears up.
