Do you have a part no. for these, or the Honda model they suit?

Good work Dan.

What's going on? A new soft-top? Still got your green hard-top?

Or stock WT flares, with a wedged shape rubber strip between the flare and the guard.

39/8

Thanks Joe. At least I'm half way there...

So I picked up some X-90 carriers today - hoping the R&P's would go straight into my diffs. :?

Should have done a bit more research here - they're different sizes :cry:

Which one will fit into my WT? The front or rear? It's ...

I've been running Couragia MT's in 235x75R15 for just over a year now.

On road they are a little noisy, but who's Zook isn't noisy anyway.
Since buying them, I've done about 8500 kms, mostly road, with frequent 4WD use too. Wear is barely noticeable.

In mud, they are awesome, I don't really drive ...

You're moving the diff back, so you'll be using the front hole on the perches.
So, put the plate on the perch with the middle holes lined up. Mark it where the front hole is, then drill it.

I bought a set of Federals in January. Got em for around $150 a tyre in Brisbane.

They work very well in the mud down here in Tassie and seem to be wearing quite well too.

I'm retarded with electronics.

When i turn my lowbeams on, only left headlight works... High beams on & only right hand headlight works... :?

Dee, I had similar problems when wiring up spotties. Something to do with negative switching. This thread might help - http://www.outerlimits4x4.com ...

Hey.

Another quick question regarding the seal on the rear axle assembly
after you've taken the bearing and retaining ring off and drum backing plate

you put the Drum plate on first, then the seal with spring facing the differential side, then bearing with spaced side facing drum and then the ...

Engine / gearbox / t-case mount?

Locktup4x4's site states that they are "DOT approved".

Is that DOT approved in America or Australia? They are two different things.

Taff, I installed my chromo axles a couple of weeks ago. They definitely would not fit through the steering knuckle.

Better to wait until they arrive so you can check, before bolting everything together.

Cheapest I could find in Launceston was $44 per line at NBC. Enzed and other hydraulic places said that legally they can't do brake lines for road registered vehicles. One place said they would do for "off road only".

It all depends on what equipment the particular shop has, and their method of ...

Buy a 1.3L t-case.

Sell the 1L t-case. The one you have can be quite hard to find, so there's always people looking for these.

Buy some 4.16:1 gears from http://www.lowrangeoffroad.com/samtcase.htm

Easy...

Exactly.

So the most "comparable" way to measure tyre diameter, is to measure them unloaded, with some sort of indication of tread wear and pressure. So you don't have variations of different vehicles (Sierra / Vitara / LWB / SWB), and extra weight (pax, fuel, cargo, etc...)

If you really want ...

4.16:1 transfer case gears.

These will bring high range back to stock, and give you a good reduction in low. I have these with 235x75R15 tyres, they are perfect.

It will be easier to find gears than it will be to find the right 1L t-case to bolt in.

Federal Couragia M/T 235/75R15 on 15x7 rim, 26psi, unloaded (spare), minimal tread wear (near new).

Measures 28.5"

Real easy, I did it yesterday.
Just put a block of wood on the inside of the ding and bash away.

Yours rubbed on the WT springs at full lock didn't they Jas? What offset are your rims?

I'm running these in a 29" in Tassie.

They cost around $150 a tyre. I've had them since January and there is bugger all wear - they look almost brand new. :P
They have a nice, open tread and even though the "side biters" are small ...

I ran 235/75/15 for a few years, I hated every minute of it.

5th gear on the highway was useless, unless it was a very smooth road surface, with no headwind.
I never used 4H offroad, if I did, all I could smell was burning clutch.
Driving around town wasn't too bad, but I did have to ride the ...

Put your axles in the freezer and leave them there overnight, they will shrink.
Put the collar in the oven for about half an hour or so, it will expand.

Should make the job quite a bit easier.

Sounds like a pretty good compromise.
I'll be interested to see how they perform.

Jas,
What car are these springs from?
How much lift do they give?
And did you redrill the rear spring hanger, or just bolt straight in?
