Outer Limits 4x4 Board

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have found that one of my off road buddies makes army uniforms. He just finished supplying 10,000 uniforms for the Saudi Army. Our first product will be off road trousers. We are looking at light weight rip stop for ...

Well after being out of the country for a few weeks I dropped into the workshop this morning to see how Frankensan was going. 1. New chassis getting prepped [old one is too far gone] 2. Reconditioned CJ7 power steering unit standing by 3. Spring over axle conversion has just started. The turbo ...

As well as the 5 point Crow harness FrankenJeep has inertia reel belts as well which I very rarely use as a 5 point harness isn't illegal here , mind you most people in Indonesia don't use seat belts. The inertia reels do come in handy for running up to the shops or when I was out on the town on a ...

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid39/p49244752dd05137ab8f78a90ee9b954a/fd0baec6.jpg A 6 point cage, high back seats and a 5 point harness saved me and my passenger from being dead or at least a trip to hospital , we walked away without a scratch but some bruising after falling 2.5 metres ...

Dana 25 10 spline - Lockright - no problem, a pig to drive in heavy mud with no power steering

Dana 44 19 spline rear - Detroit 'No Spin' locker, comes in with a bang sometimes when it was new 18 mths ago but no probs.

Pretty hard to break them with 90 hp [optimistic]

Autos are very rare in off road vehicles here in Indonesia. Apparently they don't like being operated in 0.5 to 1 metre deep water for long periods which we do here on most trips.

Anyone had experiences with submerging an auto ?

I am heading back to Oz next week [I hope] for a few weeks and I want to pick up a couple of commodore V6 engines, wiring looms, computer etc to drop into my Willys Jeep. [1 engine for spares] Can someone recommend good Holden wreckers in Sydney and/or Adelaide ? Are those V6 crate engines still ...

"Bubba Wear" ... complete with velcro fly in the back!

No, that's called 'see u in jail' wear ....

Make the sizes generous to fit the larger offroaders

What size is the average 'Cruzer Bloke' ?

When you say the size 7 varies is it just tight or unwearable ?

I speak the language and know a fair bit about the culture and the temperaments of the various Javanese ethnic groups [ there are basically 5 different cultures - East, Central and West Java, Batawi and Banten - all different values and 'hot buttons' ] so I can get around ok. I have only EVER had ...

I am using 2 Yuasa 80amp wet cell marine batteries - They cost about $70 each and they last 18 mths running the winch, cranking the Jeep on the starter sometimes and now a ton of spotties, radio and GPS

When I rolled they didn't leak

Sometimes rivers are the only way through certain areas - no roads - thats why my Jeep ends up in water a metre deep for half an hour or so. The locals don't seem to mind - soemtimes a whole village will come out and cheer us on ! http://groups.msn.com/_Secure ...

I am trying to get the jetting right with my SU 1.75" on my Willys Jeep 2.2 litre 4 cyl.

What metering needle do the 2.2 l [2.5 l ?] Landrovers use ?

Indo Jeep and Toyota pics



More here Java Jeep on MSN

they look to run allot of similar type terrain to what we down in Victoria see

Is Sky a Mexican based company ... ?

I had mine made up - stronger and cheaper than off the shelf stuff

Whats the wheelbase ?

How does he fit all that stuff in and keep the driveshafts at workable lengths ?

Those autos are LONG

Cool !

The transfer case is Zook or another manufacturer ?

ive got a pretty healthy 202 and trimatic with a 4200rpm converter and a vitara case in front of it and no probs smokin' 38s (all 4)

In what vehicle ?

I'm surprised no one has dropped a Holden V6 into a Zook as it would be an awesome set up.

Point taken !

With aircraft landing lights from light aircraft such as Cessna's we used to use the lights on approach and depending on the situation with other traffic switch them off just before touch down - I have lost count of the number of landing lights I have seen blown just after landing - they are a real ...

Budi , the guy that owns it , has a steel fabrication business so the frame is hot dip galvanized and everywhere you look the workmanship is top rate.

He seems more busy working on other Land Rovers now rather than working on real jobs

Can't remember the exact model diff but definitely coils and radius arms

The red Zook on the right runs Toyota Prado diffs and an Isuzu Rocky turbo with no mufflers - it really whistles and is a great off road performer http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0RQBSAL0TQpdZKxlwpqMq*FoO8L!qtS8nmEdbuhnULdpo8MFPgfV1fXa4hLbDqz4FWa6LgMlL6SlqsLkQ70mBQ9*q3X!emp00kaErFAC5LPI/DCP01297a.jpg
