Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I had a look under my 100series and 80 series chassis on the weekend and i think its possible. the chassis is actually very different at the front, which means just swapping a 105 diff in is not an option. Will mean fabbing up full suspension from a bare housing, but as you said there are plenty of ...

I did find that article. Looks interesting, but he wasn't willing to use a 105 or 7x diff - wanted something bigger and stronger. The article also talks about track width, but I;m not sure that is correct. Track width is a function of the wheel & tyre, not just the hub width I thought. I thought the ...

I see plenty of people dropping 1HD-FTE engines into 105's, but I see no-one dropping a live axle under a HDJ100. Is this conversion possible? I see it often enough in Hilux's. I figure someone must have done it. The 105 chassis does have a rise in it at the front - I suspect this may be a reason ...

I'm still toying with the idea of a 1HD-FTE into my 105. But I don't want the loom hassles. Or the limited power from a 7x version. Seems like the best solution is an aftermarket ECU. Plenty out there for Petrols. Does anyone know of any versions for diesels? I can find plenty of "piggyback ...

Here is someone else's diagram: http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/smoothcruiser/abf.sized.jpg That is how I've always understood it to work. The equal/opposite reaction concern you had is covered there as you can see. The pic on the right side looks like a wang Praytell why after over 3 years you ...

Left side as looking at the winch?....or left side of the car? Good point - Left looking at the winch. Like this pic - http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.allproducts.com/manufacture97/haiyu/product4.jpg&imgrefurl=http://hotsearch.allproducts.com/product/ATV_Winch/&usg=__xJN ...

Assuming it's mounted feet "down" and motor to the LEFT (looking at the winch) Why does it matter - if yours is the wrong way round - your brake will be in reverse. And I'm not sure if there is any way to tell if it's "right" except by feelign the drum and seeing if it gets hot. No labels on my ...

It'll vary on brand / model / quality.

The proper original Plasma - Puget Sound stuff is built for marine towing - plenty of UV there.

Short Version: If you have the older (common) 2 solenoid type winch control - I reckon you are at pretty high risk of a fire. The field windings in that design are energised at all times, just waiting for an earth - any earth. It could be an accident that cuts a wire. In my case it was a stud in the ...

I've got a pair of Rallye 4000's on the car with HID's in them. Hella doesn't seal their lights. Getting the last few things out of my brother in law's place I had to go through 4ft of water getting out - wet lights with muddy water. One has washed clean, one has corroded the lens in the 3 days I ...

hey yes thermos have full shroud covering whole radiator so its sucked through the whole thing.... and the head isnt cracked as its been off and sent tested and rebuilt... did need combustion chambers seats and guides but had no cracks... buying an aftermarket coolant temp sensor to see wat temp ...

AXT on my '98 one. Put on in '99. 270,000km still going.

Paul

Mines easy

There is a locknut on the adjuster - faces forward, forget which part it's on. Loosen that. I tdoesn't look like a locknut - it is though.
Then adjust away
No need to loosen anything else.
I've also replaced it twice - and never had to pull anything else out.

FOA reckons they'll have pin mounts in about 6wks

Fingers crossed

The Bilstein 7100's come with Heim joints stock. My cruiser wants Pins for most mounts. I can run adapters, but need another 2-3" of length to do so - meaning bump stop extensions. That's unacceptable to me. I like stuffing wheels. Has anyone managed to swap the heim joints to pins? I've heard it's ...

I picked up a set of roof bars I thought where for the 100, but now I'm not so sure

Part number on them are
Part Number - PZQ3060040 -2 Bar Kit

Does anyone have access to the Toyota Part Numbers to check?
Google tells me nothing.

Thanx
Paul

There is very little / no ECU control on my 1HZ '98
Timer is about all and I wouldn't call that ECU

Later with EGR may be different.

Don't really need it - but I love raising the bar each time I fabricate.
I see this as the next step.

thanks for the replys fellas

Bah, it won't be square after you drop it on it's lid anyway, or after so much effort, will it be road only?

Yep - that's flat

What do you want to build that needs to be that flat?

Paul

that said, im a firm believer that my filter setup works well currently, but i feel its very restricted and isnt direct to the turbo, so i want to make it free and efficent. screwy 2 things a) Your turbo can compensate for restrictions, I wouldn't stress. It'll work the turbo a little harder, but ...

Wow, he's filing for worldwide protection. I'll be his patent attorneys are chuckling over this one. I just read further in. The written opinion seems to say that claims 1-18 were not novel or inventive. Only claim 19 was upheld. Opps, that was issued on the 28th of March 2010 and nothing has been ...

I bought mine 2nd hand. I reckon that's the BEST way to buy trailers. Agreed. "they dont make em like they used to" That thing you bought looks a toy. sorry. See that's the angle I got from some of the trailer companies. "More steel is good". It's interesting that trucking companies are using alloy ...

It's a Prius (Hybrid Synergy Drive)

Wonder how long till Toyota reinforces their patent?

I love the Prius gearbox - marvellous idea.

I asked about trailers here a while back

Here was the outcome

No - it wont' carry your 4wd, but it will carry the parts

Paul

I can only comment on mine. a) The Auto is the same across all of them b) Turbo'd at 10,000km. Now at 260,000km c) Boost 10PSI, fueling as per fitted d) Third owner. First towed a van. I do all sorts of stuff e) 720 peak EGT pre turbo f) Had cooling issues, fixed with fan clutch and radiator changes ...

Is worth the read.

Some mines run a full new brake system, wet discs in oil, fully sealed.

What the second banjo fitting for?
Twin turbo?

Paul

What about one of these? = http://fs2500.com/ I have been looking at giving on a go from watching the videos thay look the goods. The problem with external bypass filters is severalfold. a) You need to source the oil without reducing engine flow noticeably b) You need to return the flow to the sump ...

Mate, best case is they'll do a recall, like they did for the front brake bolts. Recalls suck. You have to let Toyota work on your car, no oversight. They won't supply the parts, won;t let you do it, won't let you watch. I won't let them work on my car without oversight. I'm leaving my old bolts in ...

Are you going to stay with 4" lift for towing?

I would have thought 2" HD would be more stable and appropriate?
Springs are cheap.
Will make your range of shocks easier to buy, larger range in 2" lift.
