Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I ended up putting 100w HID's in the super oscars and they are super bright.
Now will 140 lightforce 100w HID set to spot give much distance?

cheers.

I am wanting to run two aerials for my CB, one gutter mount and one on the B/Bar. Is there a switch that I can get or can I just use an ordinary DTDP switch?

Cheers.

I have not checked the globe but will tomorrow, I have an after market monitor that tells me the volts and what the alt is putting out.
battery is 12.7 and alt is 14.1 when driving.
I have no idea where to start looking for a fault.

cheers.

I have no charge light on dash when ign. is switched on, where do I start looking for the problem apart from the globe.

cheers.

I have a set of cibie super oscars spread and love them, I have some room for a pair of 140 lightforce. I would like to know if I put a HID kit in them (50w or 100w) how would they go as a spot beam with the oscars?
Would they stand out or are they not so strong?
Need for driving capital to capitals ...

these are the gauges.

Was real easy to fit but needed to retap the hole to NPT.
the gauge is digital and got it from the states, about $100.00 with prob.
I wanted to keep the gauges the same as the ones I already had.

I have fitted my coolant/engine temp gauge now and need to know what is normal for the temp. It seems to be sitting between 65 and 70deg C or 160 and 70deg F.
This is a digital gauge and its on a 2000 GU 4.2 TD.

cheers.

Does any one know what the thread size for the GU oil sender switch? 4.2 TD

cheers.

Thanks Lightbulb, I already have one on the main battery in the patrol but there is no insulation in it, air just blows in and around the battery.
If this is not what you mean let me know.

cheers.

Has any one come up with a good way to insulate there second battery under the bonnet? We all know that engine heat lowers the life of the battery so was thinking why not insulate it.
The insulation would have to be thin but highly effective, if there is suck a thing.
Any comments welcome.

cheers ...

Thanks for replies guys, OK what i am doing is putting airbags with coil outers directly under the the chassis rail. To do this I have to remove the original bump stops.
I do not want to have no bump stops so I am going to weld a new bracket next to the one on the diff housing and fabricate a new ...

Thanks for reply, I know you can weld them they have crap welded all over the place but not shaw how thick. how many amps to lay into it.

cheers.

As stated I need to weld to the diff housing next to the bump stops.
I have a mig but not shaw how thick they are. I am putting another bump stop bracket next to the one thats there.

cheers.

HI all, I have a warn XD9000 and would like to add two more solenoids on the in side. could some one put up a diagram on how to do it please.
cheers.

Hi mate, I have sorted my problem, I must have pinched a wire when i jacked the tank up in place.
I did have the same problem you have when i had the original sub in, I ended up getting one of ARB's turbo timers and it solved the problem straight away. I hate buying anything of ARB as i find them ...

Hi all, would anyone know what pressure the subtank pump puts out?
sheers.

I have spent the last two days putting in an aftermarket sub tank. after installing it i started the patrol as you would and seen that the sub tank light came on. I disconnected the power as stated in other threads with no luck.
I have noticed that when the light has come on other times it is with ...

thanks for that mate, i understand that now.
cheers.

thanks for replies, but i might be missing something here. I was more interested in the physical size difference.
cheers.

I have been fitting a 2nd alt to the GU today, I got one out of a patrol and the other off a hyundai excel. Both were 75 amps but the hyundai one is less than half the size of the other. how can this be if both are putting out the same?
cheers.

after turning off gu then getting back in, the clutch peddle is hard, then goes soft after started like normal. its been fine for 3 years but just started this. any idea's?

does the gu 2000 4.2td have a warning buzzer to tell you when the pads are warn, as in when you put your foot on the peddle the buzzer goes off?

does the track measurement of the patrol taken from the outside off the dics or the centre of the tyres or is this the same.

just mild steel and mainly 1.6 tube.

is there going to be any problem with penetration ( this is my favorite word)

my question is can you use argon for welding mild steel as i want to weld ali and dont want to hire two bottles.

no just some stuff for shed, the cheapest one i found is 1100.00. must be an old design out there that does'nt cost much to make. only want to cut 1mm.

does anyone have any guillotine plans for sheet metal?
