Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I am having problems replacing some fuses in my HJ75 landcruiser. In the fuse panel there are 2 large oval shape 10A and 20A fuses. Does anybody now where I can get these from as I went to the local auto pro and they did'nt know what I was talking about.
Cheers

I have fitted one from 'FRP' in queensland. Cost was close to 500 and some of the holes did'nt line up, but otherwise was fine.

Recenty my HJ75 has been leaking fulid out the clutch master cylinder. It is weeping out of the piston inside the cab. Is there a rubber seal in there that can be replaced or is it a throw away sealed unit.
Cheers

I bought the same shackles of that seller about 2 months ago. They are pretty good, and built well. The only thing I have found is the polyutherane is quick squeeky. The best bit I like about them is the nipples are receased so out of harms way.

I am in adelaide..

I did do a search prior to posting but could'nt find all that much info (3 topics).

Cheers

The leaves in the cruiser are getting a bit tried, so I have looked at getting a new set, but the $$ have me lloking at restting the old springs. Has anybody had their springs reset. If so what was the cost and was it any good, or was it too harsh, or did it sag.

I am looking to buy some lengths of solid polyutherane (or similar) in SA to make some body blocks out of and have''nt had any joy so far. Anybody know of anywhere.

Cheers

Did a search and a google on Jaxon tyres and could'nt find anything. Good/ bad? Your thoughts.

As the title says, I am wondering if a 78 series bull bar will fit a 75 series without changing the mounts.

Cheers

You can start a diesel without glowing, but you will find it is hard to start, and it is'nt any good for your engine/starter. Just turn the key to glow, and wait for the light to go out (you should be able to here the solinoid go click). Then just turn the key and start.

HJ75: I try to rev to 3000rpm just about every gear change and try not to cruise much below 2000rpm. Now and again i'll have a squirt to 3500. In 5th it sits just over 100km/h @ 2100rpm. If i let it lug around town for too long it starts to drive like a pig. -Stu :) Just curious. Why does it start ...

Shadow, my 75 come out with 32, 7.5 splitties, so putting 31 x 10.5 on them is illeagal. just found this. Are you sure wider wheels were not optional? they certainly are on the new 78 series utes (RV spec comes with 31x10.5) if there is a factory fitted optional 31x10.5" tyre, then you can legally ...

How is it going get that engineers certificate going Scott. I am thinking more and more about getting one.

my car is legal with 33x11.5R15's (89 HJ60) so i dont know how you can say most 4wd's with 31x10.5's are illegal. pretty sure all landcruiser/patrols came standard with 31"/32" tyres. Shadow, I believe that you may have a false sense of security in believeing that your HJ60 is legal with 33x11.5's ...

I just did a quick google and the 88 honda prelude was sold new 'unroadworthy' as it was to low, not complying with ARD 24, as the wheel clearance was not sufficient.

Woah slow down there, what vehicles have come out of the factory new and sold to people in an unroadworthy condition for a new vehicle? what car maker would not adhear to ADR's and sell a car? The only car that I can think of, off the top of my head is the 'Blue Bird'. I have also heard stories ...

just because everyone else does it doesnt mean its ok. if its not legal you gonna get all thats comming to ya Surely I am not the only person out there, who is concerned that their car could be considered unroadworthy. Cars have come out of the factory with defects, and you hear people not be ...

I was looking at get my cruiser engineered, but cannot justify the price at the moment. Is it not heavily modded, with lights, body lift and 33's, but none the less under SA law, deemed unroadworthy. My question is, has anybody had a run in when it comes to insurance. My concern is that if I have a ...

Thanks mate. I did have a look on there but it all appears to be american, and I presume that there could be a difference

Spefically ADR 24 and 42, and the one that relates to the distance that the light must prodrude in the from of the vehicle, (e.g. roog mounted light).
Thanks

I have done a web search and an OL search , but can't find want I am looking for. Does anybody now where I can get the factory specifications for an 88 75 series 2H Landcruiser. The reason I ask, is that I am getting my ute inspected and when they say the the tyres are to large, wheel track is ...

Does any one know where you can get a copy of the Australian Design and Regulations from. Transport Dept wants $74, to email me a copy.

I had an 85 swb petrol nb. I think that they are a totally under rated 4wd. But it depends what you are looking for and what kind of driving you want to do.

It seems like a lot of money. I can have the 33's and a body lift, all legal and be covered by insurance, but the tyres can be more than 8.75inches wide due to the 15mm rule. I was involved in a acident a while back with 31x10.5's and nobody asked any questions. When you think about it 31x 10.5 is ...

How much has it roughly been costing you bundy chick, for just getting suspension and tyre mods engineered.

Thanks for the updates Scott. I look forward to seeing how you go

Thanks, I just wanted to clarify that, before a do change tyre size.
