Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I use a Marks Adaptors variable speedo ratio box on my 07 hilux.

you wire it in in series between the speedo pickup wire going to the dash from the pickup itself.

there are 2 settings so you can do one setting for daily tyres and at a flick of the switch have it set for your weekend tyres.

I got my brakes sorted recently. Dual diaphram booster, standard 13/16 master cylinder. Got a shop to do it as I wanted a professional brake bleed. I fitted larger calipers with bigger pistons by the way. The shop found out that when ARB did my diff gears, they didn't adjust one of the rear drums ...

Theres a member on here that tried them on the rear of his 80's solid axled hilux. His name is yamaha_308. this is what he quoted me via a PM ages ago - The coil front end leaves are not actually longer than the IFS ones, but the pin location is different. Standard: 530mm front half, 670mm rear half ...

Ive been running the 150psi solenoid on the small compressor on both lockers for the past year without issue. i dont crash lock it, but the extra pressure to keep it all engaged I think is a good thing.

Im in the exact same position. Tried fitting bigger calipers along with my dual diaphram booster and couldnt get any pedal pressure even after bleeding it properly. the factory 13/16" master cylinder is too small to pump the extra fluid pressure required. I bought a prado 90 1" bore master cylinder ...

If your going to run them on road they are hard to balance yes, my tyre shop groans when i come in and there is always a massive amount of weight placed on them and i can never seem to keep them balanced for long. I run the same size on steelies. been almost 2 years now. Absolutely love em. They ...

The current generation of Marlin adaptors allow a full 360 degree of rotation ability. not that you need it, but there is not need to lift the drivetrain when you can clock it for a flat belly.

with 2" bodylift there will be heaps of room to clock it for a flat belly.

If you have the patrol 16x8 +10 offset wheels these are ideal for running a 285/75x16 on these trucks. You'll have to remove the front mudflaps and depending on what suspension you have if you do manage to get full bump travel your tyres will just touch the top of the guards on compression. Fitting ...

Hi guys,

thanks,

Black Bull wants to build a race truck.....can the front diff be center mounted in a race truck? Black Bull, what is the donor vehicle that will be used for this? You may have problems running the front tailshaft to a 100% centrally located front IFS diff, depending on the transfercase setup of ...

200 series cruiser front diff, they are 9.5" in size and run 34 spline driveshafts.

Bolt on a current tundra Total Chaos or Camburg or similar long travel suspension kit and you'll have a great performing setup.

Aftermarket diff gears are available aswell upto 4.88:1

PM sent.

Mine was 8.5" extra

budscustoms FTW

there have been a large number of tough dog shock failures in current model hilux's......so much that a mate that used to stock them has said some retailers are taking them to court to recoup costs that Tough Dog wont pay the stores for warranty claims made by customers.

Pretty Tight if true.

Test drive a new Ranger, I reckon they will be excellent for towing, mountains of torque and good gearing. Really? Mountains of Torque? Carbuddy quotes 380Nm, whereas the Nav D40 is quoted as having 403Nm or 550Nm, dep on spec... Ranger: http://www.carbuddy.com.au/car/values/specification/default ...

Ive run mine on a typical 3 " lift for 80,000km without a problem. Ive fitted the monster rides kit now and have had it in for 5,000kms without problems. Their diff brackets can be adapted to any other lift aswell to benefit from cv angle reduction. I have heard of cv's being pulled out but almost ...

Bip Toyota in Caroline Springs

am running 305/70x16 MTR kevlars with 3" Monster Rides Kit...... No problem with cv's. with a typical kit you can run 3", Monster Ride suspension kit includes the diff lowering mounts so at 4" of lift the cv angles are the same as at 2.5-3". front diff is 8" and 30 splines driveshafts...alot better ...

so looking at the picture comparison above, if the factory 4.8 ring gear is thinner does that mean that it is weaker or it still has the same strength as the other ratio gears?

i work at a ford dealer in bundy and its my understanding all engines are run in ie no k's on the clock so most likely done during assembly of engine (well probably after its put together) that said id clock up a few k's before really pushing it, just a personal opinion I work at the Ford factory ...

Why not use a chain driven hilux transfercase?

High range is 1:1 in them and low range is 2.56:1 and they are strong as.

If you need any more reduction then mate a Crawl box infront of it......either with another set of 2.56 gears or 4.7's.....

would increase your torque immensly to the diffs.

So did you have to pay any customs tax etc in australia? this is an area that is a bit confusing to me. so the customs value is the tyre cost only, not including the postage cost? someone mentioned something about a $1000 limit tax free? is this correct? so if i was to go over this limit then would ...

Just for your reference guys, I got a quote from TireRack on a set (4) of 305/70x16 and 35/12.5x15 MTR Kevlars - 35/12.5x15 = $1310.62 not including any tax, tarrifs or charges. =$327.50 before charges 305/70x16 = $1509.22 not including any tax, tarrifs or charges. =$377.25 before any charges I dont ...

Hey all, Looking at ideas for upgrading the front diff on a IFS surf. First of all I am not interested in a solid axle swap, This truck will be to go fast and turn corners, not crawl over boulders. Anyway, I have seen the supra 8" diff swap, which is good however was thinking its still no stronger ...

4.11 is correct. You are very mistaken sir.... TMUZZA, go to your local toyota dealer and he will prove to you that your turbo diesel (1KZ) Manual (G52) came out with the 3.727:1 diff ratio. The 5L - 3litre diesel came out with a 4.556 : 1 diff ratio The 5VZ 3.4V6 came out with the 4.1:1 diff ratio ...

Congrats on 10th place Napsta....also congrats to Campbell racing and winning KOH 2011 in an IFS equipped Buggy. Hopefully IFS vehicles will get abit more respect now...thou I doubt it :finger: I know, Shannons buggy is well set up....but could to see someone persevering with a setup against the ...

Name me one 4x4 where you can switch the SRS airbags system off via switch.....there arent any...if its fitted its mandatory that it be operational at all times.

Well I dont like people telling me "I cant do this, and I cant do that" Id just ditch the airbags. But thats me. That is a totally irresponsible comment. You ditch the airbag, have an accident that May not have been your fault but somebody dies in your vehicle. Vehicle investigators see that the ...
