Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I had a dodgy earth from the trans to the body. In combination with some other suspect but not totally shite earths (resprayed body etc) it cause the accel cable to earth the motor, letting about a bit of a smoke they put in there...! Cracked earth strap somewhere that doesn't appear to be bad on ...

Searched, didn't find too much. Sorting out a lowmount warn, and thinking about running some air into it. Got an airline at the front bar already, and was thinking about tee-ing off it and running to a regulator to drop back to 2-3psi and leak that into the winch... From the search I noticed ...

thanks for the tip.

I've got a pair of SAAS dominator seats that I want to use in my 80 rebuild. And I want to pass an engineering inspection, as well as be safe. In the past I've had them mounted to landcruiser rails, but there is some manipulation required that doesn't make them potentially up to spec. So I want to ...

I could, but it would take all the turbo and all of the diesel, and maybe even the rest of the kings men to get it moving

hang on, just to get back on topic, I'm chasing a product to do the wheel arches (underside) and the trans tunnel (underside) whilst the engine is out and the car is apart... No painting floors, nothing like that. I;ve got dynamat for the inside floor and panels, just chasing the extra 1% whilst ...

Running dynamat as well...

thats not a glowing endorsement is it...! hmm... I've read a bunch of other says its awesome blah blah...

Got the truck in bits and want to quiet it down a bit for those long days touring. Need a product (perferrably sold online) to paint onto underside trans tunnel, and wheel arches. Will need to be durable for stone chips, but more importantly work to reduce noise. Done a search, but haven't found ...

sadly, I'm about to enter this world of write offs, and have a question. I've rolled my truck and need to sort out a solution to get going again. It was a keeper truck and I want to try and get it going again, one way or another. Its getting assessed at the moment so I don't know if its going to be ...

dunno, I'll have a look,

like the idea tho!

Cheers,

Got a ghetto setup for a water tank, but the way I've got it arranged is starting to fail... I've got some crappy plastic hose with a bunch of elbows to keep the hose nice and tight in to the tank, but on the outlet side of the pump, we use the hose as sort of an extension cord I guess, and the ...

went the hitachi, will see how we go.

cheers for the replies all, and good luck with the shed o envy Bru, I'm sure it will be a cracker! Press, brobo, and a host of other toys - get that ICV thing going!

And you will be chosing which brand to satify that criteria, or are you going water/fluid cooled superdooper thingo?

I guess the real question is - who makes the best clamping mechanism on the generic saws, the rigid looks to be bit on the pricey side for a glorified angle grinder (700ish).

Cheers,

Chasing some thoughts on a cutoff saw - Just need it to whop up tube, SHS etc but need to be able to clamp angles up to 45deg. Making some tube work, gate frames, that kind of thing. Something like this, interested to purchase once and only once... Ozito need not apply... Anyone got preferences ...

So I did it a different way. I've got a simple 2 way toggle mounted under the reverse lights on the spare, and that turns the lights on and off. I also have a relay in the rear quarter that gets a trigger feed from the reverse lights to fire it up, and thats what runs the lights when reverse is ...

Thought of that, they run solvent atm. Don't blame them really, imagine washing out a few CV's a day, you'd be off your face!

its going to take years to get through 60l of fuel in a mower!!

I don't have a yard or corner big enough to get rid of 60ml of fuel far less 60litres, so 'dumping' is out...

I guess I'll see what the council have to say, although it was a local council run tip that I tried to get rid of it at..

My local tip isn't interested, this fuels been sitting around for a few years, not used on a boat trip somewhere, but now I need the drums... Where do I get rid of it? I don't need to light Australia on fire, weeds are pretty much under control, so where else do I take it? Inner SE Melbs if it helps ...

I quite like my halogens - much higher draw but I"ve got LED's that suffice for most of the time in the truck, and the downlights are really only for working on the tailgate, seeing in the fridge etc. Wired second batt as you'd expect, but they were donated and suit the task admirably :) http://i268 ...

Best I can work out, the wire weights only 12kg...?

.18 lbs per foot, 150 feet, makes about 27lbs
27lbs is about 12kg..

Thats not as good as I was hoping eh...

or it could be slipped into my ski gear bag, and freighted back home with a whole bunch of other stuff from other people :armsup: :) Happy days! the wire would be the main weight component so taking that out of the equation would bring it back to being MUCH more acceptable. Not light mind, but ...

Got a US trip planned for late jan, figure with the dollar doing what its doing, might be a good time for a big ticket item... I've got a delivery address in the US I can use, so I had a bit of an idea. Want to order 8274 himount, preferably with the motor upgrade, and rope, strip the wire for ...

power distribution block. One feed in, 8 fused feeds out. MUCH neater and potentially safer/reliable.

got 'em, love 'em.

Cheers,

the thing is going in the f#@$kin bin....

That is all.

Just thought I'd flick up some more information, in fact all that I have, in the hope that the magic bullet is found. I've yet to have more of a look at anything, just thought I'd throw these up to see if they help... Cheers, http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj11/ash_on_mtb/page2.jpg http://i268 ...

thanks for the tips guys, it'll definitely help! Re: the orange wire, it looks like it has a switch aligned with the brake pedal. There is also reference in the destructions to the alarm being triggered if the brake pedal is depressed. Now I don't know if that means that the wire can be left out, as ...

http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj11/ash_on_mtb/Alarmschematic.jpg SO I've gotten hold of an alarm, but 15 hours later and a pile of fuses later, we're no closer to an install. I've got some questions someone can hopefully help me out with, sight unseen. The truck is a Diesel 80 series, 1HDFT ...

Found narva product to do what I need at $40 retail, just struggling to get them in hand... http://www.narva.com.au/products/detail/8-way-standard-ats-blade-fuse-block-with-transparent-cover-and-single-power-in-terminal/noheaders/1/?KeepThis=true&TB_iframe=true&height=500&width=720&modal=true&parent ...
