Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I've had the same thing a couple of times. First time I had it rebuilt. That lasted about 4 years before crapping itself again, so I sourced a replacement box and swapped it out. The replacement had a dud tranny case, so I swapped mine onto the new box and all has been good ever since.

Haha! Daihatsu = Toyota is parent company

Daihatsu is/was sort of the development arm of Toyota.

Run E10 fuel and your pinging should disappear.

First, a couple of questions: Do you have aircon/power steering? Is you power steering still working? Is it one of the pulleys that drive either of those? If it is, then yes it should be OK to drive, but if its on the drive belt that goes down to your alternator and the pulley on the bottom front of ...

Hey bud, you're better of putting this in the "Nissan" or "general tech" sections, as the general chit chat section is where everyone rants and raves and argue/discuss there political/religious/doodle loving/jeep hating views Yeah, I'd like to start a discussion on the environmental impact of your ...

They occasionally come up on Fleabay. I think there is a bit of hardware difference, IIRC. The hardtop is a bit of a PITA to remove and put back on if you're doing it regularly.

I'd be interested to see what you get for it. Mine will be for sale soon, once I do a bit of a clean up on her. Mine's a 96 widetrack with 31's, extractors and exhaust, lift, bullbar, etc. I'd be extremely happy if I got $4.5k. When I get around to it, I'll put an ad up again to sell off some of my ...

Yep, still have everything. I'll post it all up again in the next couple of days.

Welcome to Outers. Where are you located?

First a few questions:

Do you have aircon? Is it on when it cuts out?

Do you have power steering?

Any other relevant info? i.e. how is the idle/running normally? Rough, smooth, erratic?

I know a few people are after roof racks and stuff. I've bought a new vehicle and it's time to offload a few Feroza bits & pieces.

I don't have a feroza but have the (dis)pleasure of regularly working one one at the moment... Although I can't remember what the access to it is like, but when I had the charade, after taking it '4x4ing' I'd just get in behind the block with the can of degreaser and go nuts for a while - then ...

Firstly, let's get something right: It sounds like your VOLTmeter. Amps are a measure of current. To check that your voltmeter isn't faulty, test your voltages with a multimeter (even a cheapy $10 Dick Smith one is adequate). At 18volts, you will probably find you're popping globes everywhere in the ...

AFAIK, if the other doors have it, then the driver's door should too.

The rear door DOESN'T lock/unlock with the front doors though.

Could be a couple of things. First, try squirting a bit of Graphite powder between the springs. Ramp her up to get a bit of flex, which'll seperate the springs a little on one side at a time and aloow you to do this. If that doesn't work, try some motorcycle chain lube around your shackle bushes. Or ...

Well, it looks like its time to part with the old girl after 10 years :x :x I'll be driving a Subaru Forester for a while until I decide what the next real fourby is going to be. I'll be putting a couple of ads up later this week. One for the Feroza and another for various parts and accessories ...

One of the easiest ways, while still maintaining reliability, would be a 2 inch exhaust system with extractors.

I ran a pod for a while on my old motor for a while. I wasn't too concerned as I had to replace the motor anyway after the previous owner had driven it for 70,000km pinging off its head. The pod did make a noticeable difference, but I wouldn't do it on a motor I planned getting any longevity out of.

Best leaving the standard setup on there.

Even with mostly road driving, if you check your intake after the pod filter, you'll fine a layer of fine dust. Don't go there.....

And for the tech, surely a coathanger could fix the lost keys and the fatherhood issues?

Not bad for the price of a case or 2 of New

Are you sure you have a Widetrack? The Narrow track shackles are wider at the top and narrower at the bottom as the leafs are narrower. Widetrack is definitely straight up and down. You will generally gain half the extra shackle length in lift: i.e. if you run 2" longer shackles, you should get ...

Oh, and BTW, extended shackles are illegal in most states.

Having said that, mine's been through Vicroads when I came back to Melbourne and they never said a thing...

Hey Bexi, Welcome to Outers. Sorry I haven't responded to your PM, but might as well do it here.... Wide Track shackles can indeeed be made with just a couple of flat pieces of bar and some bolts, BUT you need it to be reasonably heavy duty and preferably have a centre piece (whether welded or ...

Best to get a new one or see if you can get a used one of an Applause. IIRC, it should be the same fit. And YES, get the extractors

Go to Bursons and get yourself a balljoint remover.

I've got one similar to this:

BTW, sometimes it's just that the globes aren't seated properly/connection becomes dodgy over time. So sometimes a bit of a whack on the panel with your knuckles will get 'em going...

From memory, the globes are the little "grain of wheat" bulbs.

Again, from memory, the panel should unclip, I thnk you have to remove the heater knobs first though. I'm pretty sure there's a section on it in the workshop manual.

Go to any performance shop and get them to order them in for you. You'll find it's under half the price of similar from Repco, Bursons , etc.

Just make sure you have the correct pulleys. I believe there may be several different types, requiring different belt.
