Outer Limits 4x4 Board

If Ashdown Ingrams don't have them I would also try Iveco themselves. Most OEM plugs can be bought straight though the dealers and there not usually very dear. Most genuine plugs are copyrighted so places like Ashdowns cant copy them.

Led is very over rated for spot and headlights. Those Truck lights are crap compared to projector HID and I'm yet to see a Led spot light that comes close to a decent HID not ebay carp. I've swapped a few guys over who where running the Truck lights. There next to useless in rain or fog (because ...

Yes if you are putting 12.6 volts into them you should be reading about 7.14 amps. Just remember though there are heaps of variants. You should be measuring the volts at the light not the relay so you know there is no voltage drop at all. The other thing is the quality of the gear your using. I have ...

Some of the Lexus headlights are already $7000 each so I'm guessing these will be a heap more. lol

You see a lot of concepts that never get off the ground though.

One of the Audi's new concepts are the whole tailgate is a full LED screen with all sorts of crap going on.

Cheers Mick

A lot of the light bars can cause some static on radio frequencies. This is caused by Pulse Width Modulation. This means the leds are driven by small strikes many times a second. If you could record a LED light bar and slow it up they look like a strobe light. This is supposed to give the led time ...

Hi mate There just like led bars. They have a great light but short in distance compared to HID spots. There not as wide a beam as most light bars though. If you want decent light in a round form True 100 watt HID ballasts with CBI osram bulbs or philips HID fatboys will crap over any light bar or ...

PM sent mate

Yes we can

County Floats. We mainly build horse floats but will basicly fabricate anything.

Who has done this in NSW? What's the process, does a engineer draw the plans and I just build it and he inspects to give the ok? I got on google and I couldn't find the rta specs the trailer needs to be built to I could only find a form/ application to get it registered. I want to build it with ...

For the record, I have a pair of 100w halogens (Roo lights), a pair of HIDs (self modified Cibie Super Oscars) and a 44 inch LED light bar, bought off a member on here. Something to remember when looking at pictures of light bar outputs is, if it is a shot amongst trees, like those above, then the ...

I have a 50" rigid bar and it's the ducks.... In reality, it's fine for 100kmh highway driving, as the actual reflective range and visible range is better than 300m as suggested. Off road, it kills 100w hid kitted XGT's, which gave two bright spots so bright they were a pain on my eyes after a ...

What are you after distance or spread?

A light bar is great for up to about 300 metres even the biggest and brightest of them all. A decent HID spot light or Projector HID will be good for a 700 metres then some.

Cheers Mick.

The Bionic blue your referring to is actually a pearl from memory but you need to look very closely to actually see the pearl. I got a small sample pot mixed up and I am pretty sure it is a solid colour, from memory there is a similar ford colour which is a little bit lighter which has a light blue ...

I am building up a ln106 1990 hilux dual cab and trying to decide on paint colours. Initially I was dead keen on the new toyota colour called graphite (charcoal metalic) but if I went that colour it works out to be around 2grand in paint by the time I get primers and clears etc vs a solid colour ...

Thanks for the reply Mick, good to finally get a response form someone who has actually used it. I do a bit of airbrushing and use waterbased acrylic paints for that (autoair) which is why I thought it may be a way to go but from the sounds of it not for a hack like me. I would be keen to get a ...

What's you thought on water based paints expected life these days? I know the early ones were terrible - aka falcon EL etc... where the undercoat fell apart under the top coat on the bonnets / roof. I love 2K, and use it wherever I can. The water based paints these days are great. They cover better ...

Hi mate I've been using water based automotive paints pretty much since they come out. It's not something you would want to attempt especially using in the back yard or even an automotive painter would stuff it up with no training. What you get taught with solvent based base coats and clears goes ...

No dramas mate.

If you get stuck or have anymore questions let me know.

Cheers Mick.

LIC 40 is the most durable 2 pack paint available these days and dries harder then powder coat and requires no etch primer. It sticks better to a freshly sandblasted surface or bare metal that's been sanded with 80 grit. If it's a painted surface then finishing off with 240 dry is fine. When I did ...

As we are moving to the country in a few weeks the g/f will be doing a little more country night driving. The standard headlights on the Tiida are pretty crap so i'm looking for some upgraded globes for now. I went into Supercheap and they have Narve Plus 20,50,90,100 and 120 globes but they are ...

There's an easier and cheaper way. As mentioned above give the boat a good clean with a red or green scotch brite and Deoxadine and make sure you follow the instructions and use the right safety gear with this stuff. Then Paint it in LIC 40. It's a 2 pack paint that doesn't require etching and is ...

Redhead only needs right boot at the entrance because half the clowns there use too high a tyre pressure and chew it to shit. I run 5psi in my zook and can 2wd it without wheelspin. Mates in cruisers/patrols run 6-8 and can do the same. You don't " need" a locker on the beach, but on dune climbs it ...

I build horse floats and trailers for a living and the best advice I can give you is to ring Marshall Engineering and speak to them. They sell everything you will need cheaper then anyone else in Australia and will happily give you all the advice you need including the correct offsets and speed ...

Yea flex mate...obviously.. I'm aware of the options on offer although I cannot justify spending that sort of money when I can build something for a fraction of the price which has the potential to flex alot better. Would love to hear from someone who's gone for a 3link+ panhard or 4link, which ...

Cheers Mick I wish I had 4 grand need to sell my turbo falcon then and start saving. Where about did he say he was getting them from? Regards Mitch You would be better off PMing him about it as i'm not 100% sure on that mate. Here's the thread where he was talking about it. http://www ...

I'm pretty sure Matt was getting his for about $4000 both steer diffs with factory lockers and I'm pretty sure he can get more for that price. So when you look at the price of GU diffs and then add lockers the Mogs are probably cheaper. There's just a lot more fabrication to get them to work though ...

My first thought was you have probably over tightened the belts. I'd loosen them off a touch and see if that sorts out your problem.

Cheers Mick.

My point was the cost factor of getting a GU diff or 60 series diff to handle rear steer is dear to start with and will still fail. I personly would wait until you can afford to do it properly. There is no point in doing it on the cheap and blowing $1200 on entry fee plus all the other costs just to ...

Yeh I'm not to keen on putting toyota gear under a patrol chassis. As for mq knuckles they make it high steer right. Pretty keen to see a patrol rear steer just might have to sort out a deal on rams so I'm convinced to buy 2 at once andy more info would be great Thanks guys Regards Mitch A patrol ...
