Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Okay I will answer some of the questions.

We did the work for the owner its not our truck.

It runs full 80 series front end including radius arms,steering box,coil towers panhard.It also runs a Dobbin Engineering Crosslink very similar to Chads.(professor).
Cost wise as its not totally finished ...

any apics of this hilux? Ive got an 07 running 3inch lift and 33's and will be looking into some gears this year and trying to squeeze "skinnier" 35's on it too. more likely something like 34/10.5x16 swamper LTB's for offroading but would like to see pics of this one.

is this the bronze coloured ...

Can anyone tell me the size of there touring tent when packed away. The wife just go me one from boots for a present & it only folds down to 900mm square. I don't remember my uncles being so large packed away.

Then I looked into other brand mono tube shocks & found edlbrock shocks. They are American made N looked liked the shock for me. Not only because they have IAS, some heat distribution stuff N up travel response thing ( you look it up ). But they are already factory inverted. So the part of the ...

Bilstein Shocks are a mono tube shock. They are proven to react faster to up or down travel than a twin tube shock eg Ranco. So performance wise a mono tube will out perform a twin tube as long as they are valved for their intended purpose.
However, will a mono out last a twin in durability? That ...

All extra cab hilux came out with IFS. N Only the new one has turbo.

Thanks again for all the info & pics on the sway bar
So I'm going to these sway bars ront n rear. Even though most of you just have them in the rear. This is because at the moment my font is softer & out flexes my rear. As I have 80 series diff with x bar in front & standard hilux leaf rear. Which ...

I Had seen currie industries vid n also stu offroads install. I was just wanting to hear first hand from people who have them fitted ( prob jeep people).

hope it helps

I thought that a prado ran an 8" cown just like the hilux.
Can any one else know?

Does any one know if it's worth doing? Or hasn't anyone sent a gear set to get hardened.

Pipes... given that you have an 80 series front... why not stick with an 80 series rear... or will the offset stuff your driveline angles? The only bad thing about a patrol rear end IMHO is semi-floating axles... wheel bearings are $180 a pop per side.

Keep it all in the family :D

Yes I am ...

The x link is sweet. The only thing is I need 1" longer bump stop or go down to 33 or cut the front of my quater pannels. The front out flexes the rear.

Thanks killalux. I saw the pics n read your story.
By using the short shafts on each side does that make the wheel width the same as standard. How did you go with getting engineered.

is it engineered? what is the width of the wheel track now?
can you post pics

Has any one put bigger diffs in a hilux (coil)???
I was thinking some thing like Landcriuser or patrol.

Sorry lads I haven't got any pics to post. However the hilux will be in octobers 4wd monthly & a pic is already in septembers 4wd monthly. It's on the last page advertising for next month. So check it out. I will take some pics when I go 4bying sunday n post them.

Hey mmaaxx,
The pic off this site doesn't look like the same bolt on set up as ozy luxes. As my front end is sitting in the garage after getting a sas done to my lux. However I could be wrong.
I've heard that big lifts with independants has problems. Ulimate sus are advertising 31/2" lifts If ...

Oh yes there are problems to be sorted like the front wheel rubbing & setting the suspension springs right. However it's all about getting through blue slip right now ( the RTA pits ). So hopefully I will be able to post some pics up. Until then thats the last of my concerns.
If everything goes ...

Thanks Tiny Ill give them try.

I can't say Ive really looked that closely at a horses asshole. Is that what you do with your time?

do you need moulded fibre glass flares? do you need justr rubber or other to cover wheels? be more specific with what you are after.

if you are just after a flat flare for covering tyres for road use then lawn edge from bunning come in a heap of sizes inc 140 mm. this would do the job well and is ...
