Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Just a thought if it draws 25 amps then that is 300w which is only 0.4hp not 3/4hp. I'm sure its agood pump though. I think all tests should be done without a tank too. Jimmy I have one of the 3/4hp boss comps, mine is wired with 4 gauge cable rated at 100amps, this would be the min size I would ...

A wide tyre will not give you a better ride, in fact it will actually give you a harsher ride, due to the fact you will have a wide but short foot print, which means instead of gradually climbing up and down a hole or rut in the road the tyre will simply drop into the hole or rut. The only way you ...

Your question is probably better off answered by someone with some kind of authority in regards to what is legal in your state as far as modifications go, maybe try where you get a roadworthy, safety certificate or similar in NSW. These kind of questions will normally get silly answers from people ...

I got mine from i think bunnings for about 12 bucks about a year ago. Its a sheet metal hole enlaging tool, just happend to be the right tapper. Ive used it to flip my ball joints on a vitara. Will open a tapper up to about 19mm. Best done in a drill press slow. By hand it chatters abit, take it ...

the tappered hole is usually a pressed in sleeve. So you should be able to have it pressed out. You know that modifying steering links is illegal tho?? You may just have to find an engineer that will do the work for you, then sign off on it too. :? The tapered hole is actualy machined into the arm ...

As stated, what you are after is a tapered "ream" to match the tie rod. Unlikely anyone will have one the right taper. Therefor custom made is the only way to go. I have heard of one custom ream the has been made and the number of $800 was be thrown around!!!!! :shock: You still keen? After doing ...

Where did you purchase such a tie rod? Does it flog around or how has it been restrained?

The engineering joints won't help for some good reasons; Theres barely enough meat left in the standard arm to start with- machine some out and there's no point 'gaining' the extra strength of the bigger tre's Not sure of the surface of the arm is hardened- but you'll be taking it off if it is. The ...

Thats what I am chasing but I just can't seem to find one that is the right angle and size.

Hi all,

I am trying to enlarge a tapered hole on my pitman and steering arm to allow use of larger / stronger tie rods ends, has anyone managed to do this and if so how? I have spoken to about 10 engineering joints and they all can't help me for some reason or another.

Cheers izy

Can we keep this on topic please

Ha-ha so you’re telling me your engine hasn't exploded yet? WOW that is incredible!

Stick with a decent paper filter if you're wheelin' or driving in dusty conditions. K&Ns, etc. let far too much dust through for most wheeling applications. Hi all, AJ, why do you think the K&N Filters let "far" too much dust in? They are a world-wide company who have invested millions of dollars ...

if you use the original bolts then they cannot be overtightend. (unless your stripping the thread) I'd suggest that whoever installed them has replaced the bolts cause they were completely bound up/super tight. Driving it today with them backed off, they seem to be freeing up and considerable more ...

I'm not totally sure what type the k&n is... But I had the oiled up type fitted to my zook, and with the snorkle picking up leaves and junk, the filter became blocked to quickly, with the crud sticking all over it. I have returned to normal zook filter, didn't notice any power losses, but the crud ...
