Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Some of the Prados we have been looking at have what I believe to be pretty high Km. We would like as late a model as possible but starting to think an earlier one with less mileage would be better. What is the kilometre lifespan of each type of motor? I'm guessing 300 odd for the petrol, 400 odd ...

dont buy the diesel mate!

Is this because it is underpowered or generally not a very good motor?


edit: ALso the only differance I can see between the GX and GXL is colour coded bumpers...........What else?



.

Looking at buying a Prado..... 2004 or slightly later model. Just starting to research them. GXL or VX if we can afford. Is there anything I should be looking for in the way of trouble? Petrol / Diesel? What is the engine life of these. ( Looked at a GXL 2006 diesel today which had 300K . Guy wanted ...

some other bogan in their hillbilly GQ

I've got a GU

good looking website. well done.

gday Mick, hows your truck coming along. Was thinking of getting the 2dextreme arms , but will look into the oondy ones,
Will try and google some info on them.
I'll be running 4" lift and pushing the diff forward an inch.

Was thinking of running 3rds rear arms, any comments?


.

so......I suppose they are all competitivly priced. Im quessing they would all be around the $1200 mark. Anyone?




.

oops.....nissan gu

who do them , and is there a price/quality comparison I can get from somewhere.

I run a reverse pattern in my hq tonner. B&M shifter. Best thing I ever did for that car. No more slamming it into neutral a 6500. The bracket came with the shifter. You can install the forward shifting bracket ....or the reverse one. They are basically the same but one is inverted, if you know what ...

Well , I reckon you should re-stump, extend out the back , slap on a deck
and put in some of those nice seven way bi-folds.......oh, hang on
Wrong forum




.

same as mine. did you manage to clear the fan unit on the other side? I didnt bother filling the gap under the plate.



.

slide the gearbox forward an inch



.

So let me get this straight! Some dood came up with a Xlink...or what ever. That same dood has been trying to market said x link on outers. Then some other dood rips off his idea and has problems........Then comes onto the same forum with the same patented x link and wants to know how to fix it ...

Those sliders look great. Wanna do some for me.
Be careful not using gussets near the chassis rails.
A decent wack, and they will fold up,and push big dints into your chassis rails.




.

Why are you so keen on it been fuel injected?

Because we are not in the dark ages anymore




edit: off camber/climbs sucks with carbies....unless you run gas of course.


.

200kw? Engine or rwkw.
Cant see how you would do it without a turbo.(or nos)
If you go the turbo route, leave the compression low and
up the boost.



.

hahaha....my bad (the gas thing)
I should learn to read properly.



But still go for the forced induction (with less cr).




.

sounds way too high ( 14:1 ) to run on pump fuel unless
you are running a fuggin huge cam.
But I'm more holden than jeep.


Rather than fork out thousands on the stroker, force some air into
it with better results allround.



.

hahaha.
just saw you are in alice.
might want to put a fly net on that pre-cleaner.



.

bend the stick.(heat)
Pre-filter? Do you mean the one on the end of the snorkel?
If so, ditch it unless you're always in the dust.They look shit anyway.

Well done on the lift. They do tend to take longer than you think.
Pics??

nzdarin.

got pics?



.

the loom under the pass. seat passes through the body and onto the chassis. Just keep a careful eye on all these type of things when jacking the body up. Keep the original body mounts. If you remove theses your 2" bl will only be 1". It is standard procedure to keep the originals in place. .

Disconnect your battery first.
Go real slow while jacking each corner checking for stretched bits
Mind your fingers.
Should get it done in a few hours, bar moving sliders/bull bar/rear bar.




ps. keep original body mounts in place




.

You are trying to get the stuck bolts out with the others still in and
torqued?
I wouldnt try the ezi out , unless you can get it into the threaded part
of the bolt.


Drill the bolt head off.





.

Unless you are wanting a 24v alt. to run winch etc. I can't see the point
as most dual batt. systems are isolated from each other
with ignition off anyway.
What are you up to?

Show off

My engine has got 11.1 comp,cleaned up heads, flat top race piston, 1.65 y/t roller rockers, crane 286 cam

Why so much compression on a relatively small hydraulic.
With that comp. should run a solid stick

try prying the top of the door a little and with a long coat-hanger , try and hook the keys
good luck.
