Outer Limits 4x4 Board

MY 2cents worth BFG M/T's on the Zook they where BRILLIANT!!!! My Mate has had Coopers STT on his Prado already scrubbed from a year and a bit maybe two years he replaced them with same.... I got BFG A/T's for the 80 Series and they a great..... why did I get them!!! COZ BFG are so SLLLLLOOOOOOWWWW ...

Hi Guys n Gals...Went for a drive in the 80 Series did a few bog holes no choice really.... :roll: Driving home warning lights popping up like a Christmas tree...from left to right oil can low warning light came on the Fuel Tank Light ,Clean or Replace filter and the A/T Oil temp lights were all on....

If your 80 is pre 2/ 1995 it is most probably the 02 sensor, as this sends back signals to adjust tune and doesn't usually set off a fault cose, just goes out of calibration....other things to consider as well is brakes dragging??? jack the wheels up and try to turn them/see if they are free....rer...

100 series 4.5 petrol Auto, 33's,bullbar,winch,etc = heavy / aerodynamics of a brick. Just converted to gas 500 km ago, so far figures are Petrol - 20lt per 100kms = $34.00 Gas - 25lt per 100kms = $14.50 Both Highway figures. Wont take me long to pay off the $925 for the gas conversion. Thanks Rudd...

Air Filters and Fuel is easy plugs are the Platinum type but will have a look.. Is there an easy way of reading the fault codes? I h...

Thanks Highway-Star got the Bearings today at CBC the kit cost was $58.77 each includes the wheel bearing the ring cover and oil seal. The Kit from CBC rear wheel is KIT CZ293 Rear replacement bearing and seal kit. I bought in my axles to compare and they where the exact replacement. I thought it wa...

Well it had to happen ...The left rear bearing or oil seal is passing diff oil... Considering the minor pounding not to bad. Has any body got a low cost supplier of Rear wheel bearings and oil seal plus the spacer? Im in Geelong but Mel is fine... Local bearing place wants too much for them.... Also...

Do they come with replacement tailgates? This will cause a big increase in load on the gate. Most Hard driven sierras I have seen already have cracked tailgates or torn/cracked hinges. This will greatly speed up the process. Strengthening the tailgate, IMHO, is very important when you go to a large...

Thanks nicbeer how much did it set you back?

I'd buy one if it was here in Australia.... Anyone got time to price one for the zook parade?
Id buy one if it was not to pricey.

Whats the best Battery to go in the zook SJ70? Im mean the biggest that will fit in the Battery holding area
Thanks

Well Im an FM station 104.7...kilos that is not Mhz and in the old school book 6ft. I fit in the zook just have the seat right back on the travel.
You gotta get one they are fun............

Yes a complex question really but have a go on doing it yourself... I use OME Shocks very stiff though *( the ones suited for Suzuki Sierra) More reading in the bible and threads....If you are going to some real bog holes major ruts and some knarly hill climbs , then springs shocks with softer feel....

Has any body tried that "Start you Barstard" ...But the rev and place the hand on the carbie generally works....

Thanks every body for your replies will post my outcome after I have had them reseated and cleaned.... If they stop leaking whilst not playing in the mud.. Then there is issues with these tyres... Might put the sealant stuff in or may go tubes... Hate pumping the tyres up every day!!

Zute wrote:Yeh, mine do the same. take it to a shop and get it cleaned and reseated. You could use finny leak, but than the tyre shop will hate you.

Hi Zute whats finny leak? Thanks in advance


Thank you all for taking the time to answer the question much appreciated

FWIW, my BFG muddies (getting close to 100,000km no :shock: :shock: ) have suddenly started rapidly deflating seemingly at random :? :? . I pump 'em back up and they're fine again for a couple of months.... :? :? Try running them at higher pressure (30-35PSI) for a bit to see if you can get 'em to ...
