Outer Limits 4x4 Board

matey ive seen a ...

Ok, my airlocker was leaking around the brass fitting. I fitted a new olive and rubber ring and tightened it up. Turned it on and NO leaks for at least 5 minutes (pump never came on at all). So i decided to jack the car up and spin the wheels. They seemed to do the same thing both times (airlocker ...

Yep they are 34/9s

The bar is a ARB non winch bar I believe you can get them in the none winch or winch type. It has been cut at the guards.

Yep Shit loads of chopping to get those tyres on there and now thanks to Danks help the fire wall has been trimmed too. Also big bump stops required, still ...

Looks the same as mine, minus a few mods of course

Clean or spin your battery terminals, if you get nothing at all.

So Squik, extractors are the go on the M13A as well?!? Since I have gone to 34's I am laboring the engine a little more at higher speeds. I already have a 2inch ish exhaust.

It has about a 1/2inch b/l. Came down from a 3 inch B/L and kept the rubber tops in there.

34in :shock:

Pics please :shock:

Ask and you shall recieve!!! They are 34/9.5 swampers. BTW, they are Jimny difs now with twin Airlockers and only 3 inchs of lift. It is Robocops old rig.

Still to do short term.
Fix bumpstops/rubbing
Upgraded CV's

When i have more cashola.
Winch
Cage
Axles ...

Ok I have my 34 Swampers on my Jimny. I have almost run out of gaurd to cut and they are still scorching the firewall over bumps and stuff.

Whats involved in moving the dif forward 10-15mm? Is it as simple as drilling new holes in the drop arm brackets at the chassis end? I already have a drive ...

hey guys...the Transfer case i have in it now just has a whine in it as soon as you change into 3rd gear then it just keeps whining all the way through the top gears. i just want to know if i get new gears will that stop that noise? i will put the gears in myself and i have heard from people that a ...

I am interested in the seats .

is there anything smaller but still has the 9-9.5 wide? around 31-32ish?
The 34x9.5s tend to run quite short.
It is more like a tall 32 than a 34 (from the ones I have seen)


According to the website it is more like a large 33 at 33.8inch on a 15 inch rim. Which is the similar to the rest of the ...

Ahh yes lighter steering, handy but too much drama with P/S .

Already have 15 / 7's pushed out about 15mm. Not sure if you can comfortable fit a 9.5 on a 8inch rim but then i could push it out past 25mm. I am not a fan of wheel spacers.

Well almost at the point ready to buy bigger tyres for my jim and was thinking about going a nice skinny tyre (ie skinny swamper 34/9.5). Got a list of good and bads for skinnys, I wanted to know why there would be any other reason to stay with a fat tyre (ie over 10.5) I will be getting twin ...

We used metal putty to perform a field repair on a radiator hole on a certain Jimny and that radiator was going strong actually is still ok after about 1.5 yrs...

EDIT: laziness of the owner meant it stayed like that. I would only use it as a temporary fix. definitely good stuff to keep in the ...

Got it all back together with top quality coolant (red nulon) and a new water pump. Still starting to over heat sitting in the shed on a warmish night (25c). The water in the rad is boiling which i assume means that the water is being pumped around the engine correctly.

I think i will have to bight ...

Thanks everyone for the help, i will check it out tonight.

Scooby, thanks for checking those things outs for me. Will take some balls to hold the fan while starting the engine!

Yes spamwell,

It is a M13a which has the viscous coupling fan.

Got me stumped? Maybe the fan doesn't slow down straight away?!?

The question still remains 'how do I drive from the passengers seat'?

Had a few issues with the cooling system on my Jim. First off I put a hole in the Rad and steam came pouring out. I replaced it and the fan which was missing fins from scorching the rad.

It still overheated on hot days. I did a coolant system flush then pulled the rad out again and took the water ...

Hi Mate,

On my Jim I run 31/10.5s with -15 15x7s. They rub in the guards a bit but clear everything else. I only have about 3inchs of lift and some cutting. You could even try to go a little wider as you have twice the lift of me. Hard thing to guess as every set up and tyre width is different.

Hey Rob,

Really pumped to come home, the Uk is cold and miserable at the moment. We will grab a few beers for sure and of course hit the tracks.

Yes this car will be a weekend warrior only. Will settle back down in Aus and buy a decent DD. Can't wait to get my hands and car dirty again!

Thanks everyone for the input. Looks like I might have to bite the bullet on this one. Makes sense to spend 2-3k on a Bundy set up then spending 5k on a jimny dif set up.

Dank, send me some details on those bundy difs and might even be able to put some money in your account to hold on to em for me ...

Ok, coming home from the UK and keen to get back into the bush in my Jim.
Want to put some more mods in it (to keep up with the Jones's) got about 10k to put into it. Here is what i want, would love to here some ideas about what sounds pointless or what else I should do.

Currently has:
31 X ...

Thanks Everyone, don't know why I forgot about the relay option I have done something similar before. It will be perfect, as I am installing a new stereo at the same time so can use the acc off that.

Of course if the girls were "my type" I would be running the Van and probarly getting a free trip ...

Ok, I am kicking it over here in London. My house mates have decided to fit out an old bus and tour around europe for a while. They have the old battery and a 300w inverter that they have salvaged and they both work.

There is a live "constantly ON" connection with a sutible sized cable for the ...

Steve and Dan are spot on!!!

Hi all,

Does anyone know where to get rear replacement shoes from for a 2001 m13 jimny? I can only find OEM and would prefer not to pay through the a$$.

Thanks
