Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I love my highmount winch as its easy to repair, rebiuld. It's also able to have 50mtrs of rope/ cable compared to 30mtrs on most lowmounts standard. If desired faster gearing and extras can be done to make them stupid fast. There is a reason they the most popular on comp vechicles! Biggest issue is ...

Defintely worth upgrading the harness you can now buy relay upgrade kits for as little as $120 ish I have had mine fitted for years now (made myself with good mate whos a fussy auto elecy) and ran 100/130s massive difference now have gone down to 90/100 still sh#tloads better.
I was running the 90 ...

Just got home. This was a great run, had a lot of fun and managed to drive all sections and hard lines on checkpoints (although some sections of the track I reckon were tricker than the checkpoints).

Ho Chin MIn track (now have a name for it) was a blast. The only breakage that I know off was was ...

What makes you think they come standard with 4.6s :?: My old 88 TB42 manual patrol came with 4.11 and my mates 89 TB42 auto came with 3.9s, I now own a TD42 manual which comes stock with 4.11s. I'm nearly certain that they didnt jump up to 4.6s for the efi models :shock: 4.6s are an ideal size for ...

From the small amount i know is that you will need to use your TD42 gearbox as well, as the bell housing is slightly different. Also look to see if you use the same engine mounts as the petrol (early ones) were different to the diesel ones (I owned an 88 TB42 now 92 TD42). Not sure what may need to ...

I just got quoted $490 for a starter motor for my tb42e. Can anyone recommend somewhere cheap in Melbourne for a starter? Would prefer new but will go second hand at that price.

brissle sorry to hear you bad run but a mate has been running Iron man for a couple of years now in his Jackaroo and flogs it along the beach etc and has had no faults at all, hence i have since put in my patrol (2" springs and foam cell shocks) and i also have had no trouble. Only thing i notice is ...

I have been running a twin globe (2 55watts) Hella rectangular light which came off some heavy earthmoving vechicle (Mines) when i was workin for an auto electric mob. They were updating so i got it for free! It works extremely well and nice broad light, Narva make one nearly the same so look around ...

Thanks all for your help will get to a truck joint for some did some research ad found you can pick up a 6pack of them for stuff all! Awesome!

G'day all just picked up my new Patrol today (a 92 TD42 wagon) and noticed the fuel filter doesn't seem to be same as stock Ryco i picked up for it! Here is a pic of the filter on it any help would be appreciated as I am new to diesel Patrols as have owned a TB42 for over 8years.

I'd do what truckster said. Once that tank is done replace the fuel filter.

I was reading the other day that many of these additives can actually break down the bonding agents in the filter media used in many fuel filters causing them to break up and cause problems.

lovely :cry: I'll be running ...

Righteo! Thought there would be more response on this issue due to diesels nowadays? all good

My old man swore by additives thoughout all his ...

When i got my bighorn 35x12.5's, i read up a bit and most places recommend to mount them on a 10'' rim to make the tire crown less and wear more evenly on the road.

Even on my 10'' rim mine still wear more in the centre and i usually run the recommended pressure of 35psi...

just because it is a ...

Novus at Slacks Creek have been a great help for me but never needed that rubber so just give em a call!

Mine was the one from Autobarn after some low life stole my bush ranger one :bad-words: What a piece of sh^t, couldn't do 4 33s from 15 to 30psi due to thermal cut out, also had connected through a tank and even set up a fan to blow cold air over it and no better :bad-words: (all mounted on false ...

I had 4" coils 30mm spacers and 30mm body and my set up worked ok with 36x12.5x15 swampers but some guard chopping was needed still and 4" extended bump stops in the rear (with still light scrubing).

The rear had 3rds lower arms (which are a little longer???) and put adjustable upper arms in and ...

v8zuki wrote:you can fit every thing out of a corona with the 18r or use the celica parts as well
some mods to be done to make bits fit but the compresor will bolt on
make sure the evaporator is flushed before use as any crap in there will destroy the pump

Cheers!

Hi all, ive been a loyal toyota fan for many years, but unfortunately have come to realise my hilux does not cut the mustard off road.
My plan is to place my t72 turbocharged 4.0L lexus v8 into a GQ patrol to get the best of both worlds - unbreakable suspension, diffs, gearbox and a great v8.
Now ...
