Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I think they will look a whole lot better on the iveco, being that the front "large" bumper is black as well as the trims could a mat black be a better option- sort of match the mirrors etc rather than the gloss, but still appeal to the market wanting machined and black? have you got a stand at the ...

That d8 is a lgp dozer, it is a special build, made to order by CAT We also have d6 and a new d7 electric swampies Will confirm the width of the ground plates tomorrow There wouldn't be too many in Australia of that size due to specialised use, pushing slurry sand Compare the photo of the d8 on the ...

love the rims 4wd26 age 40 as pictured (guessing graphite machined) for a silver iveco- shame the colour choice in the Iveco range is so limited (my first choice) maybe black machined on a white or Panama Yellow another thing that I would be interested in would be a central tire inflation system to ...

cannot wait

have you taken notice of the going bush site in regards to the brakes overheating, something to be aware of.

oh and hope they don't cost in the range of $700/ rim

The skid for the crane by itself weighs 14 tonne finally got the pic of the 8x8 man http://publicgallery.stevenbowden.com/albums/album29/IMG_0634.sized.jpg there is another one on site that is a service truck- it has proven a bit top heavy, and does not like side slopes these things go pretty well ...

Rather than clog up Bru's build thread I thought I would start another. Where I work we have access to some pretty unusual vehicles due to the environment we work- namely sand and lots of it. This is not your usual flat beach sand but rolling hills of the stuff. An assortment of vehicles that passed ...

Not sure if it's yours 4WD26 but that front bar looks wrong. In my unqualified opinion the tube needs to be an inch thicker and the design could be a bit nicer on the eye too. not mine- just one I found on the net in answer to another guys question- mind you I havn't seen a nice bar on these yet ...

I'm working out the design of mine in ...

could look to retro fit ARB canopy windows, wouldn't be too hard

looking forward to some news on the alloys dealing direct with Iveco should enable you to fit the 37" tyres without the speed rating in the ECU being dropped? I'm really looking at one of these with a camping box on the dual cab and still tow the offroad van- as such I don't want the rear ...

4.1 is the ML triton standard ratio, this vehicle runs the 9.5" rear diff.

BUT we have been able to successfully fit the 4.1 ratio into the 9" diff (usually 3.9 in the MN triton)

I know its on another forum- but a guy in sydney is selling a 9.5" diff out of a ML triton that has a factory locker. http://www.newtriton.net/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=11371 you might have to sign in to the forum $1000 but it is low kms. you will have to use your 4.6 crown and pinion (as the ...

Will it matter if the challenger is an older model?
Looking at the dash pics I would think early 2000's, trying to fit up this to the ML triton which is a newer generation (and would not share the chassis with the older challenger)

Well I have driven on the new MTR's today. They are quieter than the MTZ's engine noise is louder than the tyres and they also don't exhibit the "blockiness" where you feel each tread block at low speeds. They do "growl" a bit like the MTZ's did all the time when pushed hard into a low speed corner ...

I know what your saying about size but i thought it would be good for other things as well as being just a gps system. I have found another one that's smaller it has a 10" touch screen. Also turns into a tablet so wouldn't take up as much space with the keyboard. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI ...

I've ordered some MTR Kevlar in 265/70/17 size, should arrive from Melbourne next week.

Will be replacing MTZ's in the same size so I hope they are alright.

If they were off a CAT truck they would cost double and have the CAT logo on the lens. These were off a CAT dozer

Alright, your on a budget and want a 2" lift. Now in my SWB gen1, I run the springs from a gen2 wagon, progressive supple and get my 2" lift. yourself look at getting patrol wagon springs (BUT not heavy duty) If you want to be real cheep look for these from a wreckers. I run EFS shocks and got them ...

I don't know if you can manage it funds wise, but while the mechanic is doing the diff would be the time to add a locker?

as you are putting in the V6 diff (arb do a air locker for that diff )

I think you'll fint the 32" tyres a good comprimise. I run 33" tyres on my import with 4.9 diffs and 2" suspension lift. It goes alright once the turbo comes on but uses a $hitload of fuel. I think the ARB locker in the rear has a * notice may not fit rear of diesel import vehicles* Someone needs to ...

Yep,
Unless your getting rub from your tyres I would be hesitant to raise the body.

some body protection (sills) and better approach and departure angles would be better for the stability of the vehicle as well as allowing you to 4wd off road.

I had the same problem, it was the kickdown cable and when adjusted there was no more adjustment left. SO if I ever have the problem again I will have to look at getting a new cable (has not stretched) I don't like my chances of aftermarket though, and I'm sure Mitsubishi won't miss me with there ...

genuine only- and thus expensive.

You can retro fit an Australian air filter box, as there are some aftermarket options for these, depends on how much the surround costs.

Cheers

you have pm

I'm loacted in Brisbane. Its all starting to look harder than I first thought. I was aware of other conversions to autos but unaware of the problems, hence the original post. The vehicle would be unsuitable for wrecking as there is not a straight panel, but as a cheep? runaround with touring and ...

Trade me is the site in NZ I personally have not used the site BUT there seems to be an abundance of pajeros getting junked see link http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Car-parts-accessories/Mitsubishi/Interior/auction-105960493.htm?p=28 This is a gen1 guards are available as well as factory 5 ...

Yep found out today its the TD5. SO is it a hard thing to swap the auto into the defender? The mine I work is a sand mine (so no rust in the chassis from sulfuric acid corrosion as found in those from the coal mines) BUT it was the exploration drillers ute so had a very tough off road life. I ...

Depends on what you expect out of the vehicle. I don't tow anything so with 33" tyres and being SWB its not too bad. That said if your looking at the LWB and towing you couldn't look to get large tyres raise the vehicle etc as it would already be nearing its capabilities. Mind you the cruisers with ...

The bloke in the 4wd monthly mag finaly showed up on the forum http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/viewtopic.php?t=112472 The Paj is for sale. see previous post for all the questions people were interested in http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/viewtopic.php?t=58529&highlight=4wd+monthly Cheers not my vehicle ...
