Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Was the crown wheel... 8 teeth smashed. new diff went in today.

so if i have done a CV joint I would still be able to drive it home in 2 wheel drive on the black top with no noise or vibration? 4WD was still working when it started making the noise.... how much will it cost me to get the CV replaced? Could i do it myself?

I hope it ain't the diff. with the hubs unlocked and in 2H, I drove the 40km home without any knocking. grinding, it drove as normal.

I have a 2000 hilux IFS and was doing some very mild 4wding yesterday (high range 4wd, hubs locked) and started hearing a knocking sound coming from the front end as I would speed up, I think it may be the hubs as when I unlocked them it stopped. Can anyone shed some light on this for me, and if its ...

Also of topic, anyone how the 4.8 goes on gas?

Does anyone know if the seat on GU cab chassis can be moved back somehow? Is there room behind the seat to do this? I am thinking of buying one but I am 6'8 and knees hit the dash, so more leg room would be good.

ACT

G'day all, am pulling the tub of my LUX and building a tray for it. To get the tray higher do i need to use certain material for lift blocks, so it is legal?
cheers.

G'day MK, I would go the pedes if your going to do some of the harder tracks, traction is what you want up there and the pedes will grip a lot better than old style BFG's with 50% tread.
When are you up there? where you heading for? I am going up next week.

Nice tray bubs, just what i am after. but im down in the ACT, so a bit far.
cheers mate

thanks for the replies fellas. would rather pay for one than build it myself and its not the effort, just that i am bloody useless
cheers

I am after a tray for my dual cab Lux, can anyone tell me how much a aluminium or steel tray will set me back.Which one is better??
cheers.

Dubs, 14L per 100km you say?? that seems VERY low for a 4.5 Yota. Especially if some of that is city driving...

Which one is quieter????

G'day all , not sure if this has been asked before, just about to replace the boots on my 2000 LUX. just wondering how big l can go without them rubbing. the IFS is wound all the way up and it has 31's on it now and they clear everything comfortably. will go BF M/T or WRANGLER MTR's depending on ...

G'day all, l am after a tray for my dual cab hilux. does anyone know any businesses in canberra(as l live there) or sydney(if l have to) that make good quality trays at a reasonable price?
