Outer Limits 4x4 Board

A big thanks to on all 4s for another well run and organised event. Mel and I had fun taking the rattler around the tracks. Hope to see this event again next year. Top work.

Hi, just wanting to find out if access to the camping area is 2wd friendly?
Cheers

Agree with what thunder said. A mixture of willowglen and Toperi rules and regs would be a good base to work from.

Another great weekend put on by the Canobolas 4wd club. Tracks were awsome ! Weather was great !! And the atmosphere amongst competitors and officials was really good. Had a fun weekend guiding the rattler through the stages. Cant wait till next years Toperi Challenge , best event on the calander.

Any update on what was said about entries possibly not being limited to 2x2 car teams per club.
Cheers

Hi, not sure about currently but i got one done 3 years ago with shackle reversal and spring over. had an engineer in sydney approve it.

The Motorex 4x4 Club from Bathurst had a blast driving the tracks. Big thanks to the Brindabella Club for the weekend. Cant wait to come back and give the 4bys another workout. Definately well worth the drive down.

x2, it is rather frustrating paying your money and not getting any reply for months. And even then it takes us contacting you to get a reply.

Yea it is a full floater, was trying to get up a rock step when it went bang. Running 38's with ARB air lockers.Been running the 38's for last 2 years with no problems until now, hence looking to upgrade axles. It was a clean break / shear where the axle meets the end flange.

hi, was out 4wdriving today and broke a rear axle, therefore am looking at upgrading the rear axles on my bj42 . was wanting to know who makes and sells stronger axles and if anybody is using them.

Cheers

Hi , am looking at fitting a thermo fan to aid in cooling radiator on my toyota landcruiser bj42 and was wanting to know what was best, should the fan push or pull the air through the radiator?

Thanks

hi, i had the same problem with my 40 when i did the same mods. i couldnt find another tailshaft to suit and anything custom made was going to cost the earth. i ended up having a new shaft made using some 65 and 50mm RHS that slid inside one another giving me over a foot of slip. works well and has ...

hi all, looking to upsize tyres and was planning to upgrade the rear brakes from drums to discs. the front is already disc. it is a bj42 1982. what options do i have to do this considering that i am still running the standard 40 series axles.
Cheers
Chris

Hi all , i appologise if this has already been asked but i was wanting to know what everybody had done to lift the steering arm up over the leaf spring packs when doing a spring over on a bj42 running 40 series steering. Any suggestions would be great

Cheers

hi all, a friend of mine has a soft top toyota landcruiser Bundera 1985 and wants to put a hard top on it. my question is did toyota make a bolt on hard top for the bundera ?. something sort of like the FRP top mid wheel bases. we have had no luck finding anything so far. if not does anyone have any...

Hi , the Motorex 4x4 Club of Bathurst would be keen on attending your event. if it is anything like what last years event was it would be a great event to attend.

hi, i have a set of the seats and seat belts up in the back shed. i might be interested in selling them.

thanks for that. i was thinking that 4.88 was the ones to use. my next question is where can i get them from? can they be found second hand out of another vehicles diff , if so what vehicles. or do u have to buy them new?

hi,
i am looking at running 36 inch tyres on a bj42 1982, and am wanting to know what ratios i should use. the truck is mainly used off road and it has the 3.4 litre, 4 speed. any info would be great.
chris

thanks for that, yea i would agree that a 6 point cage would be better, seeing that my shorty is now mainly used for 4 wheel driving. does anyone sell a six point cage or would i have to get one made up?

hi all, i am looking at getting a rollbar for my bj42, 1982. the little truck and i have been on quite a few "interesting angles" i think it is a 4o series thing that they dont like having all wheels on the ground at the same time, lol. i am wanting to know if i should go 4 point roll bar ...

thanks for that BJ and bad_relig, much appreciated. the reason i asked was because my rear diff appears to be making a bad "wine" noise whan driving and i was thinking of replacing the crown wheel and pinion, but i think i will first try some thicker oil and see if that fixes it. hopefully...

hi all, i am looking at putting new crown wheel an pinion in my bj42, 1982 and was just wondering what the factory diff ratio is? Someone told me 3.7, is that correct? I am currently running 33's and was also wanting to know if i should get a lower ratio , the car is mainly used for 4 wheel driving,...

thanks for that, i am thinking that a 5 speed would be the way to go. does anyone know where to find one and what sort of price they are?. I am assuming that you can only get reconditioned ones?
