Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Thanks for the advice. I would like to throw a winch in the bar eventually... I might just hack off the outrigger bar mounts for now then worry about that bridge when i get to it. I spose you can always put metal back cant ya!! The whole thing needs to be engineered at some stage, again, cross it ...

Thanks for that Steve,

Not much of a fabricator myself, so looks like they just get cut off and thrown out!

Does anyone fabricate for that, or do most just cut them off?

G'day all, Got an '89 sierra, spoa fitted. Done a bit of searching... My new tires hit the bull bar mounts when they turn. I'm assuming i get the angle grinder out and cut the outer mounts off to allow for the bigger tires? It has a ARB bar on it to, then same thing with the brackets on that? Stupid ...

My ride, got rid of the vitara, now inherited a

89 sierra,
1.3 so far...
SPOA
285/75/16 silverstone mt117 sport
16x8 rock crawler wheels
5.1 gears.. i think

to do,
2" body lift
supercharger or 1.6 conv. (little more torque, not Kw)
Dual Battery
Snorkel
drive it.

i wouldn't buy the 4x4, but the 2x4 as a street ute with a big set of wheels on it would look awesome. i know it would be a ricer, but almost everything is going in that direction now days.

pity the "true" wheeler isnt at the top of te design chain!

can someone tell me the suzuki forum address? please?

i need to sell an alloy bull bar for a vitara.

thanks

thanks bogged, got what i needed

Gday all, this question has probobly been asked shitloads, but..... Are the Mavericks the same vehicle as the patrol? In terms of gearbox's, diffs etc. I hear all good things about patrol running gear, and my boss is looking at a maverick this weekend. Then a LS1 chev is going in it. So is the mav ...

Was just reading an article in the latest 4x4monthly mag, noticed they said something about a new 140 series landcruiser? Has anyone got any news, info on this? Just got excited thats all.

Thanks for the reply, now i have to find one...Anyone got a spare they wanna sell?

g'day folks, My mate is currentlt getting his 1.3l sierra engine rebuilt. I heard about putting a 1.6l vitara carby on it would be a good option for torque increase, while leaving the standard exhaust manifold, but opening up the rest of the exhaust. the other option of course is to use the standard ...

Thanks people, i know know what i needed to know, through a couple of PM's.

cheers

thanks for the pointers, but if any one can be specific?

I went camping on the weekend with a couple of mates, one has a dual cab lux, (an old farm worker from his farm so it is already pretty bashed up). He had 2 dirt bikes in the back with the tail gate down. Tarp, jerry cans, gear bags etc. all tie down nicely under and between bikes. Then for other ...

I am getting way to many different answers on this question from people, does anyone know when: The xtra cab lux went to IFS? The Dual cab went to IFS? was it different depending on models? diesel/petrol or sr5 etc.? A mate of mine is looking for one, but he wants a live front axel. Preferably a ...

i was after both, but i called joe on monday, he had one for me buy thursday so i'll put it in tomorrow. be good to drive again!

Thanks people!

thanks for the help guys, i'll get onto calling these places tomorrow. Changing both diffs may be an option aswell, i hadn't thought of that.
cheers;

G'day people, my diff has just given up on me the other day. I have a '98 V6 estate wagon, 2.0l 5spd. This is the squareish looking one. The rear diff just shat itself and i need to replace it as soon as possible. I've tried calling most wreckers in melbourne and no one has one, so thought you guys ...

G'day all, Just recently the 'old girl' (mum) has been commenting on the amount of time she spends at the servo. Don't get me wrong, we're not bitching about the running costs of the cruiser, but just curious if this is the same for everyone? We have a 100series petrol. (biggest mistake, we regret ...

Thanks for the info everyone, i thought just as much but now i can pass on other peoples views aswell. I think he will still end up getting one anyway, mainly for towing and touring. He wants the turbo deisel 8, so should be good fun to drive!

thanks again

G'day all, my boss is thinking of buying a suburban as his next car. He asked me if i knew anything about them offroad wise, which i dont. So, if anyone knows anything about them i would love to hear it so i can pass it on. He is not intending to do serious off road, more touring/family camping but ...

Unfortunately the V6 and 4cyl have different chassis so the bars are incompatible. its a pain in the arse but the 4cyl one is cheaper anyway, so i guess thats good for you.
good luck finding one

are you after one for the V6 or the 4cyl model? i have one on my V6 which is for sale, but may be willing to separate the bar for you? its an alloy East Coast Bar, its about 2 or 3 years old, no dings

G'day all, My mate has an '89 sierra that has been a bloody great toy. Although when i told him to top the oil up, he really topped it up!!!! I'm talking to the top of the rocker covers, i guess he figured it was topped up! Any way, no need to say what happened in the next few months..... the engine ...

yeah, i did hear that they can cause headaches, but the main problem was the inlet manifold doesn't flow effeciently. does this makes sense? apparently you can get the manifold flowing well and it should make a big difference? i don't know too much though. any companies you know of may be able to ...

ahhhh shiat!

sorry, was thinking about it but obviously i'm a stupi head.

its a 4.5 litre petrol angine.

thanks,

G'day all, Lucky for me my old man owns a 100series cruiser with a whole host of touring options. He is contemplating putting an extractor/exhaust system with a finer air filter on it aswell. Does anyone have this done already? Are the increase in power/torque noticeable, or worth the cash? What ...

seems like the 75 series is a bit more of a tougher rig?

looks like i'll be spending some time trying to find one huh!

cheers boys,

at the moment the engine i will build with a mechanic i know, will have a few modifications done to it, like headwork, cam etc. so basically i want a BIG phucken chev with a lot of Hp in a toyota! i see a couple of older 75 series utes in the trading post pretty cheap, but being pretty inexperienced ...

Thanx for the pointers guys, at this stage i still need to do a bit more research on the swaps, but also the possibility of swapping one into a 75 series. does anyone know which would be cheaper, (i dont know too much yet but have the want to do this) i dunno which i'd prefer yet? as for the smaller ...
