After many months of outerlimits anonymous, I was able to leave my keyboard and go outside (wow it was bright out there)

No I don't have a drawing.

The main reason (in my opinion) for swapping in a later model 5 speed, is the 2 piece transfer on the back of it, the old one piece was/is not up to the stock engine, let alone a v8, the newer 2 piece most certainly is, I am unsure what transfer case is in your 45, but the extra strength is worth ...

Be carfull of pumping "moist" air into your dizzy, your engine will have "brain damage" before you leave the car park, not to mention watch the pressure,
Peter.

There is also a big diference between deep mud holes and deep water holes

The difference is the AirUp system uses Co2 that is stored in the cylinder as a liquid, the pressure comes from the Co2 vapour (I think it is a vapour) so the stored pressure's and the total usable volume of the two tanks (Co2 and compressed air) are vastly different while looking identical on the ...

If you are after a cheap option, just put in another rivet, that will keep the weather out and if your car is close to a colorbond color you can even be color coded

Howdy All. As I'm routing a pnumatic line up front for my remote freespool and having a dizzy that 'absorbs' water very easily, i thought about tapping a airline into it and using a regulator off a compressor to reduce the pressure. The air excaping should prevent the water entering, yes? And while ...

It is a new type of locker Joe (keep up!) the right axle is 300mm longer than stock and goes all the way through the center engaging both side gears, then the left axle is 300mm shorter and it is joined to the the other with an internally splined sleeve providing positive locking of both axles, air ...

Firstly welcome to the joys of a modded zook :armsup: For your shocks, you need to cycle the suspension (full up and full down) and measure the max and min shock length then go shopping. I will beat Steve in saying that you don't need a spring over to run 31's, that said, you definitely don't need ...

While this is very similar to which is the best tyre/winch/mobile phone topic and everyone will have the best there is, there are a few points to consider, 1, the main killer of Li batteries is heat, make sure your charger is fan cooled and your batts will last a lot longer. 2. once you have one ...

A correctly positioned electromagnet would be quite straight forward and very convenient to use, one wire, no moving parts to rust and seize up, no getting under the car in the slop. google electromagnetic door holders and have a look around, they come in 12v and 24v with holding forces up to 24KG I ...

Did you lower your bump stops when you lowered the axle?
It's very important to set them up right if you want to maximise flex, it's all about leverage.
Also have you checked the stroke of your shocks? they could be maxing out their travel.

I am looking at buying some cromoly cvs and axles, i only have 31s on at the moment and wont be going any bigger then 33's just wondering if i should get rear ones aswell or just wait till i break them? Cheers The problem with that is you rarely break parts in the workshop sitting on concrete under ...

Only one, the old single link from the top of the housing to the x member with the shackle trick, very temporary fix till it ripped the housing open :cry: it appeared to work but it just plain didn't. I wanted 2 points of contact on the diff to complete the triangle, but every design I had seen ...

It depends on how the bar is designed/engineered.

Hmm

My rear seat has been in the shed for years, it's a ute. Cheers - Longbaser. If the rear seat is in the shed, then yes it is a ute, but you can call it anything you want, call it Simon if you wish, it is your car and this is only the Internet ;) Peter. PS. now this is a ute :armsup: http ...

says ute and seating capacity of 4 so how is it not a ute? :finger: Utes don't have rear seats, limo's do :finger: Don't put too much faith in a plaque, when Grimbo goes to the toilet, the plaque on the door says "GENTLEMEN", but he goes in anyway :D (and I am sure he sits down to pee :shock ...

if its got seats than its not a ute That seems a good point, 11_evl, but who said a ute can't have seats? The licensing authorities in all Australian states clasified the Sierra as a ute with seats, maybe we should argue the toss with them. :? Cheers - Longbaser. Sorry but that is incorrect, at ...

How much do you weigh? are doing it with your wallet in or out?

just get used to it, I am sure the "sierra lean" is engineered from the factory.

Vitara people must be way different to sierra people, anyone remember the same topic on sierra's a while back? it turned into a pencil comp with the tallest truck thinking he was the winner

All leaf srung sierra's post 89 are wide track and interchangable.
and why weren't you at the meeting last night?
