Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I'm half way thru wiring a winch challenge truck from the ground up and i'm startin to with I never started. The main thing to remember is our trucks get smacked into trees, driven on rough surfaces so all your connections have to be A1. Keep all the unessential stuff like wipers, blinkers hazards ...

I am fairly retarded though.

Any electrical wholesaler, AWM ,Middys L+H Auslec

Ask for Mal.

Or, just bolt them on and the bits that rub will eventually remove enough rubber and ha presto.

I had a set on my work truck and hated them. They wore out quicker then any other tyre ive ever had, noisier and worse on road then swampers or simex's. It used to lock the front wheels up in the wet. Worst tyre ive had.

Lokar do nice flexi dipsticks.

The problem with MAF airflow meters in 4wd applications is if you dunk it under water and happen to get moisture thru to the airflow meter your motor will probably see it as a fault and go into limp home mode.

No comparison. Hella 4000's all the way. Lightforces are only good for roo shooting any way.

We'll be sending entry today, good stuff Rudi and Hobzee the pursuit is always a good event.

A Q78 on 16x7 mechanical beadlocks measures at 35.5." tall.
I've had both and prefer the swampers allround.

DBA's website has all the part numbers with descriptions in a PDF file.

Iv'e seen a few of these setups at events. Would also be keen to hear if anyone on here has tried it. If the above formula was used you would have a long distance of cable out in the open running near exhuast etc.

Were in.
Will be nice only having to travel an hour and a half up the road instead of the usual 4 to 5 most comps seem to be for us.

I received my card and newsletter on proposed rule changes. This is the first newsletter I have ever received. First of all who put forward these proposed rule changes? I'm not able to get along to CCDA meetings but I would have thought that all members would be consulted or made aware of such a big ...

DAS Fibreglass Warrnambool Vic
0355614619 i think. He does glass or kevlar bonnets and guards and reasonably priced. Ask for Ray.

wish they could make up there mind then stick to it. sick of having to keep changing things .

no other form of motorsport has to go through the changes we do. they all get time to make changes, and when entries are being accepted for events the rules and guidlines are set down first. not changed ...

There always seems to be a bit of carnage/ repairs/ retirements at the Simex and its good to have a second car when your repairing or recovering. But individual times for the SS's would be great.

Try DAS Fibreglass. They do heaps of Nissan and some toyota stuff but not sure exactly what.
55614619. Ask for Ray

Dingo Auto sports Warrnambool
0355614619
They do fibreglass or Kevlar guards, bonnets etc

So who won and what were the placings?

I take it you can't read Rainbow Warrier.
Refer to my previous post ya tool.

So back to my original question, if anyone has heard of this conversion can they let me know

cheers Andrew

Someone was asking about these a while back but has anyone come across the company in Adelaide that did a crank for stroking a TB 42. I was told it was out to 6 litre. I need more power and this sounds like the go.

There shouldnt be any voltage drop if you put an isolator in the main power cable to your winch solinoid box, and theres no way this would fry your motor???. Voltage drop is caused by cables that are too small run over too long a distance and crappy connections. Just make sure you use a good quality ...

Was talking to Sandy at AUS4WD about stroking a TB42 a while back but he couldn't track anything down. He mentioned some of the safari racing guys were using a 6 litre stroker TB42 a while back. Will ask around and let you know if I find anything.

All I did on mine was make an adaptor plate out of 3mm alluminium sheet. It bolts to the back of the radiator. You have to cutdown some of the plastic shroud thats on the thermos then screw it to the alluminium. Its a bit of messing around but works well. I just wired mine to come on with the ...

I agree, ask your local electrical inspector. ALL socket outlets now have to be RCD protected. The rule about dedicated circuits went out ages ago.

I got a 120 amp unit from the local auto elec. It was HQ holden mounting pattern. The only mod to fit it to the TB42 was cutting the bent section out of the adjustment bracket. Apart from that it bolts strait up.

No offence but next time go prepared, or just don't go down tracks if your not sure. The ammount of people that do the same thing as you, aren't well equiped or experienced and have to be pulled out in the Otways is amazing. Just join a club and go on club trips.

You'd be surprised the ammount of ...

I'll be there again in my black GQ shorty. We have about 7 or 8 cars from Warrnambool going up
