Outer Limits 4x4 Board

i priced the full extreme kit a couple years ago from rovercraft and it was around $7000to$8000 can't remember exactly. all i really wanted was their front comp winch bar (around $1200, coulnd't find anyone here to fab one for me.), still got that though, and love it!!! :twisted: i was looking at t...

is being dropped into my 93 (200tdi) D1 as an easy replacement after the death of the original engine. It is being pump tweeked for a little more power and i might play a bit more as time goes on but.....my question is should i do anything (or get something done) immediately to overcome the known ti...

Just been looking at the Scorpion racing (extreme) suspnesion kit from the UK. http://www.scorpionracing.co.uk/ . looks the goods and comes with everything from shocks and springs to cranked radius arms, trailing arms, dislocation cones and shock turrets as well as bump stops and limiting straps for...

this is also posted over on AULRO as well so appologies for those who read it twice :oops: i need some landrover supporters to try and talk me out of a very hard and somewhat painful decision.... in all likelyhood my disco engine is dead in the water and i'm looking at my options (see post in tech e...

has anyone run silverstone MT117 xtremes ( the ones that look just like Pedes)?
how do they go?

cheers for the good advice guys

I was wondering what spares you guys think are essential to carry for a Disco1 (200TDi) on an extended trip?

thanks for the tips guys...
i'm leaning toward stearing clear of them!!

i've been offered some 255/70R16 Mongrel recaps on a set of disco rims for $285 a corner. Are recaps worth considering? i've not heard of mongrels before, are they good tyres? they look a bit like one of the simex's?? would i need to do any mods to fit them under a disco (series 1) with a 2" sp...

thanks guys, i'm not far from braeside i'll give them a go

Hi, can anyone recomend a good garage/mechanic to service my 200TDi disco?? Also what is a reasonable price for a service on a TDi this is the first 4x4 as well as the first diesel i've owned? It just needs a decent service and check over but I don't have a small fortune to work with at the moment. ...

thanks guys

i would like to run 32's but have been told before that there is an issue with torque and gearing if you go bigger than 245/75R16 which i believe is 31"?? so i will probably go those.

Hi guys, i was wondering whether it is possible to run different size rims on a series 1 disco (late 93 built). it seems that there is a much bigger choice of 2nd hand tyres to fit a 15" rim out there than 16's. i'm guessing if u can that it follows that you can run 32" tyres without too m...

hey thanks for that the eyes on the front I was alking about are as u described and on a ARB bar, I thought they looked like they should be good to recover from. the eyes on the back are very similar and are bolted through at the rear connection points for the tow bar to the sub frame. I reckon thes...

thanks guys
reckon i'll be getting some rear recovery points made 2moro

my vehicle is a landy disco series 1 (200 Tdi)
i've seen those square tube recovery points that u can buy to go into the tow bar, i guess they really wouldn't be that hard to make up urself eh?

Hi i'm just new to 4B and am looking at setting up my vehicle a bit more than it is... I was wondering if it is imperative to attatch tow hooks front and back for recovery, if so where is best to connect them and how? I have noticed that there are welded/reinforced eyes attatched to both my bull and...

it seems to do it in all settings not just 4 min.
thanks for the URL and info

thanks,
i'm in seaford, i reckon i could travel though. what time is the meeting?

thanks for the help guys. hopefully i'll be able to get it sorted.
ps do you know if BES have a web site, i am struggling to track them down with online searches!

thanks guys. i'll post a pic when i've got it sorted. is anyone a member or the landrover owners club of vic? is it any good i am thinking of joining with my girlfriend we are both late 20's and new to 4B would this club suit?? we are likely to join the hilux club as well as we have friends in it bu...

hi guys. just bought my first landy and for that matter my first 4x4. it has had an after market suspension upgrade (OME) and appears to have been raised by a couple of inches. It has 16" wheels and 205R16 AT tyres fitted. If I were to by a set of wheels and tyres specifically for off road use ...

I have recently bought a landy disco 200tdi which has a BES brand turbo timer fitted. the lights all work on the facia unit and the timer changes from 0.5 to 5 mins in sequence when the minute button is pressed but the engine stops immediately when the key is turned off whatever the timer is set 4. ...
