Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Thornbirds come in that size too. I love the look of fat tyres but they are completely impractical. Even my 10.5 wide tyres just scrub my springs with max offset desert rat rims and the cops have pinged me for being outside the gaurds.

I haven't done it on a g series engine but I did change them on a wrangler recently. I just knocked them in with a small punch in the middle. I then just reached in with pliers and pulled them out.

Yep spotlights got them. They are pretty standard studs. Should be able to get them at plain old crafts/sewing stores.

Unfortunately its no longer going to go into my Sierra though bcause as of this morning i just found out i am benig given a 1.3l WT LWB from its single owner come september :finger:

Nice! Are you sure theres no first born child or soul clause in there? Maybe the owner has horns and a pointed tail ...

i now consitantly get 48kws :armsup: . i thought it was a mistake but after calibrating it a cople of times, and running the same stretch of road as last year i know thats it right (same weight etc)


Do you mean 48hp? Originally you were saying you were getting around 30hp not kw. Maybe Gutless ...

You can get pipe that suits second gen (probably all non ifs) hilux bushes perfectly Brendan. I know as I built new spring hangers for my lux back in the day.

Thanks Steve, havent been on here for a while, too busy setting up the new company.
We are the distributor of the Boss flares for Sierra, Vitara and many other makes and models.
Pricing for Sierra is $395 plus Gst for non members of the Vic Suzi Club and and $350 plus GST for members.
Or if your ...

There was plenty of coolant in the overflow so I originally assumed the system was full. Thought it could have been an airlock so I took the rad cap off and realised that it was only about half full. Explains the temp gauge. No milky oil so probably not a head gasket. Found that one of the welsh ...

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to diagnose the GF's TJ. About a month ago we noticed steam coming from the bonnet. It was coming from the rad cap. The temp gauge was normal so I replaced the cap thinking it was stuffed. Just now I've noticed a heap of steam coming out from the bonnet. This time you could hear ...

I can't picture where your talking about. If they are coolant passages could they be for an autochoke

Yep Í'd check all the vac hoses.

Thanks Spike but I've already got the SC12.

Hey Nic. To start with I'll run it full time. The MS does have the functionality to turn the SC clutch on and off dependent on engine load, rpm, etc. Might keep it simple to start though.

By G16A I mean the earlier carb's 8 valve model which I converted to throttle body injection. The 16 valve G16A ...

Hybrid, any idea on what supercharger you will be using. The jimny crank pulley is 125mm, is 4 bolt and uses a 4pk belt configuration.

With an AMR300, this creates 5psi throughout the rev range (800rpm to ~5000rpm) on a 1.3.

Any more details on your build?

Sorry Spike only just saw your post ...

Thanks Shep but I can't quite make out the vin plate hehe. Think I'll stick to the GTI pulley. There should be a fair few of them about the place seeing as the red line boys like to go with aftermarket underdrive pulleys.

Thanks Santos. Don't suppose you know if they are a direct fit or not?

I'm looking for a 120-125mm crank pulley to suit a G16A. This is to make a little supercharger project I'm toying with easier At a guess I would expect any of the G model pulleys would fit. Does anyone know if there are different pulley sizes between the vitara, sierra, swift, GTI, barina? Also are ...

When I got a new thermostat from repco on the back of the box it had the range of vehicles that it fitted. It's probably a long shot but if you check out those vehicles thermostat housings you may find one that fits.

Bit harder to put your foot out the door and reverse in a sierra than a gixxer lol.

My missus just bought a TJ from the Auctions. The mechanic tells me that the welsh plugs need replacing. He wants $700 to do it. I've done plenty of engine swaps on sierras and hiluxs but really didn't want to do too much work on this one. Is this a whole weekend engine bay strip type job or just a ...

Just as a side note, shouldn't all ally radiators be rubber (or some other non-conducting material) mounted?? I was led to believe that ally radiators mounted to the body or chassis can corrode or oxidise due to current passing through them. Or have i been mislead?? I hope not, I played for ages ...

Yep

I thought you could buy a seam sealer that is basically like putty. You see it used in stock cars. Provided all your stitch welds overlap though I would have thought he was talking shite too.

bought one for my lwb ute back and top no complaints and fit well dont leak flap at high speeds got them for $220 lady who makesthem lives up the road

cheers jesse

Yeah that's MU Canvas (Maria). She will also do repairs on soft tops like changing out the windows but Perth to Tamborine for a ...

the standard radiator is not rubber mounted? do you think that the way its mounted from factory may absorb some or more or enough vibration so that its not damaged?

I would definitely try to rubber mount it ADSport. Aluminium hates vibrations. It fatigues and cracks a hell of a lot faster than ...

I know where your coming from Steve but unless someone with an engine driven fan and a suitable shroud tries it nobody will ever know (the thermo and lack of shroud being the main thing that could be causing the 20 degree change in my opinion). What made you go with the rear mount camry radiator? Is ...

yeh i'll have a better look at it then this w/e. its not as bad as i 1st thort an my mate said his 89' sierra had a similar amount of play. it starts 2 steer earlier than i thort 2. might be something else screwed coz it wobbles around a bit at like 80km/h over bumps. but i prob just need 2 get ...

Thanks for the info ADS. I think you'd be right about the new price being pretty scary. If only Perth wasn't further away than the moon hehe.

Awesome work man. I'd really appreciate it if you could source a part number or what mower model it came off too. I think I'll need some extra cooling as I'm adding a supercharger and since its shorter than stock I'll finally get some clearance between the rad and power steering box.

Cheers,

John

No probs. I used their rebuild kit and didn't have any dramas.
