Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Mine gets 10l/100km constantly, but i am light on the throttle.

Mine is a '93.

My 4runner has split rear seats...

Excellent thanks for that. Is there any special paint that I should use, or
will standard auto paint work? I have heard some people say the heat
resistant paint is better, but I am unsure.

I have searched, and got a vague idea, but I just want to confirm. I have
a Alloy Bull bar that I want to paint black to match everything else on the
car. DoI just clean, sand, etch prime then paint, or is there some secret
that i am missing?

Or can I not paint it at all?

Thanks for all the help guys. Dumbdaunce, it is a '92 4Runner and Northern Sydney is Wahroonga.
Sorry it took so long to get back, too much work!

Nothing major, I just want it tuned, as I have had it for 50k and I know the last previous owner had it for many years and did not do so either.

who can tune diesels in the northern part of Sydney. We have a million mechanics up here, but no one seems to be diesel specific. The old 4Runner could do with some lovin' from someone else but me..

Morning, has anyone had any experience with these tyres. They are to go on a 4Runner. I would love to tell you that I do 4wding everyday, but i would be lying! I do probably 70/30 road/dirt. The dirt driving is mostly touring, sometimes stuff a little harder, but i am still looking for a some what ...

I get 10L/100km around town in the diesel, dropping to 9 or so when touring.

I have a mate who is looking at getting a Defender as a knockaround. It is in the dealership near his work, and is $9900. It has 205000 km's on it. what should he, or I (if i go to look to) really be on the lookout for. Just standard problems that we should see so we know to stay clear or take it ...

My 3L 4Runner does 2900 at 110km/h approx. so i think this is pretty normal. On long trips, i really long for a 6th gear to be honest.

I use it, as I have a servo on the way to work with it, and I have found that the car blows a lots less smoke, but in saying that, I feel that the performance has gone to the wayside for this. and I need all i can in a 2.8!

Redzook, you can find the lengths of racho shocks on the us site www.gorancho.com

as for procomps, i would like to know too.

Yes, i know it is some what of a given, but it is not good. It is a 3L 2.8 Hilux. It has 245,000Km's on it, and uses no oil at all, and compression is very similar between all cylinders. The injectors were changed about 70,000 Km's ago, and the previous owner had the injector pump rebuilt about ...

Does anyone know where i can find the compressed/extended lengths for OME shocks? Their website does not show it, and i have found my shocks to be hidiously short!

Would any one have the part number, save me from pulling them out to maesure them? it is the front wheel bearings.

Morning all, I have 180 sized spots on the front of the car, and they are on there last legs. I just wanted to know, if I put on 220 sized lights, will it affect the cooling of the car. They are going on the standard mounting points on a '92 4Runner bullbar ,so just the same as a Hilux. Thanks in ...

Morning all, Please help! I have a vibration in the snorkel area(3l motor) that comes around 2200-2600rpm. On the weekend i took it all apart to give it a clean. I ran up the road with it all together, bar the front cover of the air filter, nor the element. Low and behold , no noise! Put the filter ...

I just need to know what size socket is required to remove the wheel bearing nuts. Is it 50mm or different. Just need to know, so i dont pull the car down without the correct socket.

Afternoon all, I have a '92 4Runner, and i just wish to pose a few questions. It is lifted 2" with OME stuff. Now with all the driving i do, i realised i do a hell of a lot more touring than rock hopping. I want to keep it the same height, but I am looking to make the axles move a little more than ...

Morning all, Driving around the other day and had a clunking sound from under the car ( '92 IFS lux). Got out and found the cause or so of the noise. The driveshaft to the front hub is rocking up and down, only 1/2 inch or so, but enough to bang over speed humps on the passenger side. i can't wiggle ...

Sorry to harp, but I will be going this weekend to look, so any replies would be good.

Morning all, There is so much conflicting imfo on this subject , that I am requesting some more to frazzle my brain. I have a '92 4Runner. the previous owner put in a 2" lift, but it appears used standard shocks ( the kit is OME). It was dropping the rear wheel a shock length of 56cm, which is its ...

Thanks for the info. Did you guys find it made a big difference, or am I just wasting money?

Yes, Snake racing do them, but not for my car.

Does anyone know where I can source the above, front and rear, for a '92 4Runner? I have done a search on the net, and people seem to have them, but I can't find where to buy them.

Morning all, now before everyone arks up, I have searched. Now I jacked up the car ("93 4Runner) yesterday on a fork lift, and the front wheel articulates 2" before it stops. If i continue untill the back wheel comes off the ground, it is still 2" short of the bumpstops. It supposedly has a 2" OME ...

Both are the 2.8L diesels, so i presume they would be the same?
