Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Steve. Wellsprung club didnt get notified, I tried calling and was told to email but havent heard back..

Scrap that I got a email back saying were in

Josh.
You will need to contact some local clubs and ask them if you were to join whether u can get a spot to compete within that club.

Alot of clubs have there regulars that compete but you won't know till u ask.

You join a club and compete under that club you have joined.

Brad

At this stage im not competing in comps req certified cages as the only one that did was toperi. Ill just make it out of the 1 3/4" cds as its better to have something then nothing. Been waiting for rules to be a bit more clear and not keep changing but its pretty clear there isnt gonna be any ...

Wellsprung 4x4 club will be there

Has there been any updates to the exo changes yet?

Im just gonna start building one in about 2 weeks with 1 3/4" 2.6 wall cds

I thought u couldn't have shs as a slider the a, b pillar hoop mounts to but I guess u can, a hilux competed at tt with one?

Brad

Do you check oil pickup screen every oil change?

The d4d motors have a major problem with the injector seals starting to fail causing carbon in the oil and blocking the pickup

Look out for smoke on cold startup and rattle when cold, there will be no loss of power, no extra fuel consumption but if ...

I went from 3L to 5Le so i know a little.
What exactly do u have, not enough info to give info on.

Sounds like you have a ute with a 5Le and want to take the electronics off? Is that right.

Brad

I've been through 4 clutches in 10 years of having my lux and the only one thats lasted is the excedy sports clutch. Safari tough are good as well

Brad

Yeh had seen it in a zook diff with factory side gears but not in a 80 with shims..

As long as it can be used..

Brad

.....

Building an internal cage for ccda spec is better and then have the nb pipe exo has if you get to bad a dent in the exo and its your only cagethey can stop you from competing until the piece is replaced

Do you mean if I only had a NB pipe exo? I'm gonna build both but the exo will be segmented ...

Well i was told over a year and a half ago CCDA were going to be bringing out a design/ set of specific rules and still nothing has come out of it..

I'm just going to build a 4point (or what ever the min is) internal cage and build a exo from 32nb to protect the body..

Seems to still have alot ...

Wierd as I've never seen or heard of one like that.. Kinda looks like a lock rite centre but obviously isn't and with LSD shims on outside not sure how its a locker at all..
Sorry I know it doesn't help I'm just confused as to what it is

Lol, well what the hell was the point of that comment?

Another one following your sound theory

Too bad your an idiot

But luckily your a genius

I dont have a v8 but assure u they don't last behind diesels, so it will not last behind a v8.

I wouldn't be loading it up too much or tramping it or you will be in trouble, and really you have a v8 as if you arnt gonna wanna give it a boot full.

Up to you see how it goes but if you have no coin ...

I've interchanged g52 box's between my 2.8 and 3.0L a few times using 2.4 box's, its the petrol g52 i had to swap the bell housing on.

Brad

I think ^^^ is the go above, my buds housing had that problem and buddy had to cut down the spring perch height so it cleared better

Hi, im looking at getting one of these from a local supplier $980, has anyone heard of them/ used them as i tried to google them but dont find much feedback about them

Ah the stooge season has begun!
Good to see you back Tex, I love reading all your informative, well spelt and well punctuated posts that are full of valuable knowledge at this time of year. You never let us down, especially when TT is mentioned by someone.

Tex, in NSW comps tend to follow what ...

A high pinion centre gears are reverse cut.

Ok so here is what I know

A standard solid axle hilux are low pinion centres front and rear, the rear will be stronger then the front because of the side the gears drive on. Effectively in the rear the gears bight into each other and the front they try ...

Yeh thanks for that Evan, ill hold off and see what happens

At the end of the day i need some sort of cage, at willowglen i nearly put it on its side on the top of (I think it was) spider track bonus line and steered into it and it came back down but it had the potential to roll back down the hill ...

Yeh that's pretty much what i was told earlier in the year that more info will be released but im now a bit out of touch with it living in WA, i would like to have another go at Toperi (not this year but) but prefer not to put in a internal due to the extra protection a Exo gives you..

If anyone ...

So, I heard earlier this year that CCDA are going to bring out a new Exo design which will need to be complied to that was coming 'late this year'

Anyone know about this, I did a bit more damage to my truck at Willowglen and realise now its time for a Exo.

I know its a grey area and its pretty ...

Yeh if that's the case you will be fine getting 600km/tank. It's not that far between drinks up there but will just have to plan out the distances.

But the cape was great just August/sept when we went it was really really windy (easterlies) so the east coast was pretty much a write off.

Brad

Diesel, and a couple of crossings are up to/just over the bonnet (late in the season and levels were down a bit) personally I'd put on a snorkel but I guess u could get away with it but I wouldn't risk it for the little they cost.

Are you taking into account low range n revving, deflated tyres, a ...

:popcorn: I did cape york in 2012 in a 2" lifted 100series cruiser with 33" tyres, Snorkel, winch and sliders.

Make sure you have good shocks as the corrugations will give them a hammering.

I put bilstien 5100's on for the trip and didnt break any but wish i had spent a bit more on some better ...

I have the duals with 4.7 front and 2.28 rear which is a bad combo as it multiples the torque on the rear case input by 4.7-1 when front is in low (broke the input shaft to second transfer at willowglen)

But I only use standard shifters and is really easy to use, but because I have 4.7 front I can ...

I just recently did the best tracks the cape had to offer over about 4 weeks and had a ball

I did it in a 06 prado with a 4" lift and had a heap of clearance for the tracks up there.

With a 2" lift you will definitely do the cape and with some good tyres, should be able to go 32's- 33's on that ...

You will do most of the stuff up there on 2" lift but i wanted to fit 33's and have a bit more clearance.

Checkout prado point as there is heaps of info on there
