Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi all. Got some nylon rod @60mm dia. and will prob get around to doing the body lift (2" lift) this w/e. Q is, it would be good to know the length (and size) of bolts so i can get them prior to pulling everything apart on Sunday... bit hard to drive down to the local bolt bloke with nothing holding ...

Thanks Nick

Good thinking B-Stu, I like the flipping of the bolts. I haven't had a chance to pull the lining out yet - where the bolts go through, is there some sort of strengthening bar/rib that runs down the length of the roof (underneath)? Just what do the bolts bolt?? Or is it just the same as the rest of ...

thanks guys will probably make up something - weld lugs/brackets to the top of the bolts in the frp, which will allow me to customise to suit the camper. The link of Kevins with photos, aaarrghh! sorry, but i lookedandlooked, and still couldn't decipher the images...bloody phone cameras with wide ...

Hi Guys, i have downloaded the manual for the rocky in the Faq's section, but was wondering if someone had a manual for the F78 model? I'm particularly interested in the front diff/ifs setup... looking at doing some mods - already, damn it!!!
Thanks

Thanks BRC, one of main reasons for the larger tyres (as well as clearance) was to drop the revs a bit. Tourque seems plentiful from around 2000rpm up, but cruise speed sees me doing around 3000-3200 @ 110 kph ~ (on standard rims/tyres, 255/70x15 i think, which is around 29"~)... so if i could lose ...

Hi all. Firstly, thanks again murcod, the Rocky you linked me through to turned out to be a beauty - 80k, well looked after, no leaks etc. '99 model 4 11grand! :D Interesting car to drive. I've had a couple of hiluxs, an 80 'cruiser and a 100 series that was modded - chopped rear off, made an extra ...

Very much appreciated murcod, I'd looked on Thursday for Rock'y, and either this one hadn't been advertised yet, or I'd missed it. Either way, it's now mine!!! :D :D :D -'Course I still haven't seen it yet, but low k's, '99 model, apparently an older gent owned/drove it (80,000 k's / 5 years ...

I did see it - yesterday... Went to have a look, it was in good to v/good condition overall, but when i started talking money with them, they weren't interested in the slightest bit of negotiation. hmphh me - no rocky on the market is anywhere near this price, most are around the $10k mark, even ...

Looking at a few Rockys to buy (only 1!), And the most promising one seems to be ok, bar the owner saying there is a slight oil leak from the turbo, which "might need to be looked at in the next 12 months"... Not sounding so good :cry: Airfare to Qld, find it's a bomb.... :roll: Anyone have any ...

Ok, have found a few Rockys, one especially seems promising, in Qld!!, but apparently has a slight oil leak "from the turbo" which "doesn't affect the performance/motor, but might need to be looked at in the next 12 months".... Hmmm. :cry: Anyone had issues with turbos and oil leaks? Thanks Just ...

It looks like the Rocky is going to be the one - seems that most people are happy with it/is reliable, reasonably priced etc And for the price it looks like a good car to keep for a few years - so long as i dont catch the bug that most owners seem to have (big lift job, bigger donk, new solid axles ...

Thanks for the feedback guys. Seems to be a rough consensus on the Rocky... Most Rocky's have got around 200,000 k's on them, is this still a reasonable time to buy them, or will i be in for an engine overhaul at these sort of k's? Ditto for the turbo? I find it hard to imagine a turbo going this ...

Hi all. New to this forum, but it seems to be the best place to get ideas/answers... I'm planning on travelling for around a year through outback Australia, leaving early/mid 2006. Have done this many times before, originally in other 4wd's (hilux's and landcruisers) but more recently on off-road ...
