MARKS 4WD TRANSMISSION HANDBRAKE For the Toyota LandCruiser
Marks 4WD has developed a transmission handbrake upgrade to suit Toyota LandCruisers (VDJ 76/79 Dual Cab/ Wagons). Designed and manufactured at Marks 4WD’s Dingley Headquarters in Victoria, the new handbrake is designed to replace the factory drum in disc setup. Marks 4WD says the factory handbrake is well known for filling with debris, quickly getting out of adjustment and giving the driver little confidence in its effectiveness. Marks 4WD explains it has relocated the handbrake to the transfer case, allowing the brake to be up and out of the road of grime and debris, which it says maximises the servicing life and reduces service intervals.

FRAM 4WD FILTER KITS A complete servicing solution
A clear advantage of the transmission brake is that it locks the entire drive-train, including all four wheels, when the transfer case is locked in 4WD. As the handbrake is mounted before the differential, you also gain the 3.9:1 differential ratio advantage over braking at the wheels. Marks 4WD says the Transmission handbrake has shown to work exceptionally well in mining environments, offering increased reliability and safety, reduced service intervals and a large 240mm diameter drum designed for 4x4 and 6x6 vehicles with GVMs up to 6000kg Installation of the handbrake is said to be straightforward and supplied with an Adaptor Housing, Handbrake drum, Bash Plate, fitting kit and instructions.

Filpro Automotive explains that each Fram 4WD Filter Kit contains Oil Filter, Air Filter, Fuel Filter, and Cabin Air Filter (where required) as follows. Fram Air Filters provide superior protection, for strenuous driving conditions, from idling in heavy traffic, to driving on dusty roads and towing heavy loads.

Fram Fuel Filters serve a vital function in today’s modern tight-tolerance engine fuel systems, says Filpro Automotive.
By removing rust and dirt particles from petrol or diesel, fuel filters protect fuel pumps and injectors from rapid wear and failure. Fram Oil Filters are ideal for drivers who push their vehicles, whether in stop and go traffic, by towing, or driving in extreme weather conditions.

Fram Cabin Air Filters (where required) allow travelers inside the vehicle to breathe cleaner air by filtering out pollen, allergens, exhaust fumes, dirt and dust that enter the vehicle through the cooling/heating system. Fram Cabin Air Filters can eliminate up to 98 percent* of these impurities, providing a more enjoyable ride.
