Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Ahaha I knew that. Hmm might not be such a bad idea, prob hasn't been done in 21yrs.

which side is the right side? i think i have it on the side with the most amount of wires going to it.

no bottom end is fine. at one point i did have it running like a top with the pertronix and pertronix flame thrower 3ohm coil. then it suddenly started idling really high and dieseling at shut off.

hey
the head on my TB42 is gone so im going to buy a brand new head off ebay and replace it myself. but im unsure of what other items i should get. i know i need a new head gasket. but what about vavles, springs, stem seals, head bolts?
whats the process for replacing the head?

also, ive installed ...

well ive decided im going to do both. first do the patrol up, have some fun in that, then step it up and get the next series up 1998-2003 F150, like the one in that thread then i can properly work on it without worrying bout not having a daily driver. im fully keen to build a prerunner...caged front ...

uve already owned a hundred series, a hjz105r. also i want something that i can buy bolt on long travel suspension products for. i know that the gen2 prados have kits for them.

i like the slower rock crawling stuff, but i prefer the dunes and beach and where i live right now there aint an abundance of rocks to climb, more dunes and beach tracks. but i wouldnt mind being able to still do rockcrawling, which is why im still thinking of the gq...try and get best of both ...

hey all

im at a bit of a chrisis of sorts and i figure i better have this re-think before im too far in and then regret it.
work is due to start on my 1989 GQ LWB with a blown tb42. my end aim is a nice looking, well presented 4x4 that can handle high speed duning, desert and on road driving. i ...

i want to replace my standard tape deck in my 2004 HZJ105r
anyone done it before?

just get your leaf springs reset 10cm lower.
a suspension sho will do this for.

would they do this type of work?

yeh, after putting it up on the hoist and doing some measurements and that, its not really worth it to do it while trying to keep the rear cargo space standard. would only be able to install a 8" travel coilover in the rear.

got my eyes on a old patrol ute for free which would be a perfect ...

round here its not much 4wd tracks, more whooped out sand tracks/fire trails that are a blast to hit at speed. the ironman suspension i got now is only capable of handling medium hits at like 40km.h. so i want a setup that will soak up hits at speed and yet still be a competent 4wd setup.

i also ...

yeh real serious.

but, just had a look under the rear of it and it dont look too promising. theres not alot of space under there before i have to start cutting into my floor.
the front will be fine, plenty of room up into the engine bay.

more width=more rubber on the ground.

hmm, no love for this subject then.

i guess im flying solo.
can anyone reccomend a workshop in wa that would be able to help me?

285/75 or 305/70

about 33inch and either 11.5 wide or 12.5 wide.

im going to be upgrading my suspension soon and am looking for something a bit more than your average suspenion setups.
im a big trophy truck fan and am interested in incorporating a coilover setup into my hjz105r.
reason being is so ican have more travel, relatively low ride height and lots of sag ...

does this look a good place to start for a cheapo gps hack?
it has navteq mapping, does that mean it has some offroad tracks already?

the kingchrome one is great from what i remember. that was my weapon of choice when i did my traineeship. nice and light and plenty enough power.

ok, so to recap and get all the info in one post.

35's will fit with a 3 inch lift if the sill cap is removed and rear bumpstops are dropped. longer shocks will gain back articualtion after bump stop drop.

but wouldt that limit flex?

drop the rear bump stops???? can you please explain that a bit better

is it standard or GXl?

ive got a standard hjz105 and am looking at putting some new tyres on the 16" sunnys.
ive decided on maxxis bighorn but i dont know wether i should go 305/70r16 or 315/70r16. with 30mm coil spacers, will the 315 fit? or will i need the 3inch lift im planning first?

also, what gearing is best ...

so do you know of anyone that has used the downey LT torsion setup?
cause it does look like about the best kit available, especially with those porche CV'x

i was actually looking at the camburg upper arm kit, but since its for the 98-04 tacoma which is different to our hilux, i dont think they make one for me.

the total chaos would be nice but i really dont want to run such a wide and illegal setup.

hmm, and i dont want torsion bars either. i really ...

ok, well then il hit them up and see if thats true about it being more like the 89-94 US pickup than the next gen tacoma, makes sense cause yeah, the tacoma uses coils.

and to spongerx, i hate to be a nuisance and i really appreciate those pics, but wuold it be possible to get a pic of the upper ...

bump

im currently away from home at work and would like to order some suspension parts from the US to fit a tacoma.

they are asking for a couple of pictures of the front suspension to send the right parts. would someone please be able to snap a couple of pictures of there front ends?

cheers

does anyone know if the hilux and american tacoma are the same truck?

my only clue to them having the same suspension is that OME offer a lift kit for the US model, but im unsure if they are same part numbers as a australian kit.
