Outer Limits 4x4 Board

thanks for all the info
found the problem -- the pinion shaft itself was worn -- new shaft new bearings and seal all fixed-- $350 later --

thanks for the reply guy's!!! I had a 60 a few years back and same thing once lifted (springs and shakles) it brought the diff forward and the same result back then- the tail shaft was to long, i ended up fitting a fj55 shaft as they are approx 1" shorter so will prob try that 1st and also fit ...

GUDDAY ALL!!! just brought a 60's cruiser off a mate, now he has had it for a while and it has had issues with the rear pinion seal and bearing's it keeps chewing out seal's and bearing's it has had approx 4" lift - 2" inch heavy duty load carrying springs, 2 inch snake racing extended shackles, the ...

I agree totaly..... i was unable to make a few of the turns early on in stage 2/3 and was not able to get to the sections to have a decent go, it was very annoying becuase i would been able to drive the harder sections, just unable to get there, its as if they punishing people that dont have air ...

I think I told you so, just go for a drive fix's all

that has to be your wobble oslelator

had an old MQ that had the same prob no matter what I tried, did the death woble thing about 40kph-70kph then one day found that one of the springs was slightly bent near one of the eye's !!!!!!
not saying thats what wrong with yours though

good old QIM there is 3 type's of motor's
1. petrol
2. diesel
3. QIM

take it back until they get it right knowing QIM they will might get it right around the third time if your lucky!!!!!!
sorry to here of your bad luck!!!!!!!!!!

whoever you got it off gave you the wrong one, have done this mod numerous time's with my own 60 and also on mate's 60's

I am trying to find castor wedges to fit a 60 series cruiser with 4" suspension lift. The lift has made it so my rear tailshaft is too long. Can anyone let me know where I can get them. go to your local 4x4 wreckers and get a tail shaft from a fj 55 there the exact length you need and same spline ...

IMHO mud, deep water, is all part of four wheel driving so if you enter in a FOUR WHEEL DRIVING COMP thats what you get maybe comps should have both mud and deep water crossing's BRING IT ON :armsup: :armsup: just my 2 bob worth :cool: (i drove to both comps competed in everything then drove home ...

:D Yeah, cheers mate!! Felt a bit ballistic at the time I can tell you!! But it really took it's toll on the driver, he had a bad shoulder to start with and I thought I might get to drive Tree's Revenge after that :twisted: You guys seemed to go okay. Actually I was watching some of the red MK's ...

Can i put unleaded petrol into a diesel patrol?

yeah had a great weekend was my first time competeing had a good day sat then broke on sunday :cry: :cry: but all good still had a ball hey buddha maybe the reason your didnt break is because we used mine as a ginnie pig and then by the time we did everything on yours i had more practice, or maybe ...

thanks bunyip, If I go the way of getting the tailshaft from the 55 series will I still need to by the wedges? had my 60 for 2 year's was running 35's, 350 chev gave it hell everywhere i went, didn't have diff wedges never chewd uni joints infact never changed uni joints mate also has 60 with 4 ...

used to have a 60's with the same problem after 100mm lift (4 inch) the diff is actually closer to the transfer becuase of the ark in rear springs.
the easy fix!!!!!! go to a wrecker and get a tail shaft from a FJ55 perfect length and same spline

radial claw's are a great allrounder keep them for high speed dirt and touring dirt roads and not to bad on tar either, then get some proper hard core bias ply tyre's

have completly towrn a lug off a simex jungle trekker2 and sliced through 3 off the six ply side wall, was getting wheel spin on a very sharp rock ledge. lucky they were bias ply though any radial would of been
f@$%cked

just wondering what tyre pressure gauge's poeple are using????
I usually use the pencil/slide type but the other day just out of curiosity tried 4 differen't one's that i had lying around and got 4 differen't reading's that ranged from 35p.s.i--22p.s.i

34 JT2s

xxxxx4444444

nothing at all is anywhere near canberra ( besides snow!!!!!!)

I run 34 JT'S aswell and often go wheeling with mate's that run claw's/mtr's and found the difference is what pressure to run. radial claw's bag the sidwalls nicely at 18psi same goes with mtr's I run 9psi in the simex JT'S and they still dont bag as much as a radial tyre but mould nicely cut a long ...

,in all honesty they would not have out performed my bfg allterrains. [/quote]
