Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Don't listen to the Live axle naysayers mate, I would recomend you keep an eye on the 4WD action guys and this trip where you will see how the Current model Hilux I drive stacks up against the live axles.

Greg,
Cant seem to be able to add pics here and not sure if your looking for just Vits or GV's as well, so check this link and you'll get pics there but only if you login.
Anyway, it is your body Lift kit.

Greg,

Did some major digging and found these.

I know the initial enquiry was for an older model but thought I'd clarify this.

Prado diffs went to 8" from 09/02 on. The 8" diffs are compatible with the 2005-2009 Hilux. However to fit the 8" Prado front diff to the Hilux, you need to also change the fornt diff carrier for ratios of 3.909 and up ...

Boof,

Not counting Cool95 and myself from the newHilux forum, it looks like that at last count there is another 5 orders over there on the thread I posted earlier. I spoke to Booksy about infills today, I will send you a PM about that.

Cheers

Rod

Boof, don't know if they have registered interest on this thread but there are three orders on the New Hilux forum here:

Thats's why I put my order in too, the guys over there told me about this offer from Brooksy.

Rod

Been meaning to get on to Brooksy to make me a set of sliders shortly, so better add me in while he's on the job.

Would not mind checkerplate to match the ARB rear step towbar on mine.

Yeh, cubelock is amazing stuff. I am debating using it to make a storage drawer system for the back of my ute after I did this using it in my Vitara:

There is a guy somwhere on Ebay that sells plans for draweres fro about $60. Not sure if he has plams for your rig

Luxy, I'm interested, You are the right side of town. PM me a price. I know what you mean, RYNO conned me into a set of Swampers on Mickey Tompson rims which were awesome. Shame they were the ones on the vehicle.....

I drive about 50km a day on busy roads, but hell, if I forgot to take the Swampers ...

Hi Guys, I got a question but I thought i'd introduce myself first as I have been on Outers but on the Zook side. However that will change on account of a steering failure on the Cunningham Highway last weekend that speared me head first into the largest gum tree this side of Warwick, followed by a ...

Thanks CJ, I'm too old to worry about performance all that much. That was pretty much what I thought..

Hi Guys.

I've got the opportunity to buy a pair of diffs complete with axles with ARB lockers installed (and the front diff is steel :) ). To fit them, worst case I will need to change the front CV's to 26 spline.

I have a 92 LWB with a 4 speed auto gearbox. As near as I can make out, that means I ...

I'm not keen on the strut mount flip myself and have just received a set of strut mount spacers from low range offroad in the US (postage was USD $40). They will add 38mm to the strut mount (not the 2" they mention) See here:

Look here and you'll find out all you need to know. You can do it yourself pretty easilly.

http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=112847

Just get onto Just cruizin with a PM. It is best if you do it yourself becasue it can be quite time consuming to fit.

BTW Vitara's are never too ...

Thanks mate, After I posted here, I think I have found the steel housing with an ARB locker installed, so I think I'll find out soon enough. Amazing what you stumble on on thes forums The stuff on the mounts was useful info

I'd love to see that in the bible so take pics please!

Their catalog said mandatory on newer model, but optional on the older model. Sorry can't remember the years. It could also be becasue the regulations say you can't alter the suspension travel by more than 1/3 of stock, so a suspension lift might break this rule without the bump stops installed. ARB ...

To get the LWB tank in, you'd need some modifications I think. I tried to fit a SWB tank guard to my LWB with no luck. It mounted onto the existing tank mounting brackets. I found the tank is longer front to back on the LWB, so the extra width in the chassis won't help you.

Some people lift the ...

Thanks cj. Ordered two sets this morning, ARB list price $26 but got them for $23 each.

Cj thanks, if that's all they are worth, I'll order them today

Sonds like a funny way to package a kit though, who does one side?

Stinky

Can't see you will have much problems. I have a standard 1600 Vit which had 16" x 6" factroy rims on it and has 205 R16's on it when I got it with stock susp. Your 245's are only 15mm bigger. I think either a body lift (from Just Cruizin on this forum) or the suspension lift (just) would ...

cj, SiKid,

Interesting feedback. I'll try not to hijack. I've got a 4 door JLX 4 speed auto that came with 16" rims. So what you are saying is that it I should not have any drama putting 31" tyres on it cos it has the 5.12 diffs. ATM, only got 29" swampers with 15" rims on it 'cos I got them at a ...

ca18zook I think would probably halve your tank price, but you'd need to check with him.

I swapped out a 1.6 efi in a vitara for an import. All I had to do was to go down to QT and advise them of the new Engine Number. No charge, no plate, no pits!

I think you could get away with just advising them of the new serial number. They won't know what they are looking at the counter.

It seems nobody has a long range Vitara tank. I spoke to Brown and Davis in Melbourne once and they said the guy who did all the zook tanks had left and they did not know what fitted what but if I dropped in they would be able to sort one out.

A long way from Melbourne, but you could PM ...

Thanks guys, eaiser said than done to keep the weight down in a Vitara. second spare = 20kg, Jerry Can = 20 kg, Oz tent = 20 kg, Roof Rack = 15kg; 75 kg all up. I would have liked to get an extra jerry can or maybe a gas bottle up there, but not to be I suppose. I was thinking of putting on a third ...

Hi guys,

Does anybody know what you can carry on a Vitara LWB roof? Thule Bars are rated 75kg (I got a pair), Rhino Rack track mount are rated 80kg, the Calmini 2 door Roof Rack is 200 lb (90kg) and somewhere in the web, I saw that the factory rack could carry 200 kg.

Does anybody know the real ...

Mine is fixed. Needed a new Air Con fan which cost around $220 plus a new receiver driver and regas while we were at it. It cost about $500 to get it all done. The air now comes out at 8 degrees acording to the air con guy. They did use an after market fan but only because the old one was not ...

I moved my diff forwards to fit 33"s on and i have the same death wobble at 60ks only noticeable since fitting the standard rims back on i thought it may be as a result of me stuffing up the measurements of the holes.

Mr Rocky, Did you do what they call the Hagen Widening mod to move the diff ...
