Outer Limits 4x4 Board

No, It's got different splines you dickhead !

I busted the rear RHS axle today in my 80 today. It had the hub stud holes bored out to accept the 100 series hub studs ( which are 10mm not 8 or 9) Could I just get a 105 rear axle and slide it straight in without having to do the hub stud bore-out, like what I'd have to do If I get a stock 80 ...

Totally awesome thread mate, in fact one of my favorites across all of the forums I visit.

Earlier on you were saying you take customers on tours, do you still do this ? There's something captivating about those Rainforest Jungles.

Dunno If it's just me but the video links just go to the youtube homepage. I tried putting the link into the toolbar but that didn't work either.

Tetapi terima kasih banyak. Saya kira bahwah mobil-mobil anda amat bagus (maaf bahasa saya)

Love your build so far mate.

I'm sure the wait will be worth it when It's finally done.

It's going to be a weapon off road

Bit off topic, but can I ask you what's going on with the RFC ? Just saw the 2012 movie and some footage of 2013 and competitor numbers seem to be way down.

Dunno about roadworthiness but you could buy the seats you like and then just make your own swivel base, or get an engneering joint to make it for you.

If it's any use a mate mentioned his Mitsubishi Delica has swivel seats, they might be worth looking into ?

Yeah I've got the 93 and the 105 pads go in no probs, makes a fair bit of difference too.

On their website locktup say to use 10-15kg of force on the pull scale for tyres over 33 inch. This is without the felt on and with the swivel housings free from the tie rod. I just tightened mine up with the shims that were already in it, it seems a bit firm but kinda has a nice feel to it. I don't ...

Top and bottom bearings are exactly the same part, and both just sit there, what is holding it captive? Cheers mate, that clears it all up. I thought there were two different types of bearings, but looking at it now the lip on the top one is just the cone bit that the outer race sits on. ie I'd ...

Yeah I've done that, just can't work out how to get the bearing off. The bottom one is fine as it just sits there but the top one is held captive. Edit : So I ended up hacking away at it till it came off. One of my manuals says you need a bearing press to put it back in but I'm hoping it will just ...

How do you get it off to replace it? I thought it might have something to do with the 2 bolts that anchor the pin, but apparently not. I mean it's easy to get it off by prying it over the lip of the pin but I'm sure there's a proper way to do it, and I need to know how to put the new one in without ...

Forgot about this thread :lol: Light must just represent a fault being deteced. I was lucky enough to borrow the scanner from work and 3 fault codes came up, the main one being the camshaft sensor. Replaced the sensors, cleared the fault codes, good as new. I was a bit intimidated by electronics in ...

It's a red flashing hand with a symbol of a car in the middle. The mrs was driving home, and after stopping at the shops, she got about 100M after starting the car then the ignition cut-out. She managed to pull over. After a minute she started it up no probs and drove a short distance home. The ...

That's pretty wicked mate. Good luck with the rest of the build

Keep your updates on here too, I and a lot of others don't do FB, cheers.

My current 73 series has 35" pedes on 15x7s, and I need 2 inch wheel spacers to stop them rubbing. On an old 73 series, 36s on -22 offset 15x8s rubbed, but didn't when I put them on -22 15x10s.

Look quite similar to the 3 centre lug Simex ET2s, only a bit more road friendly and possibly less tread depth ?

I had a similar issue with a NA 3B. Replaced the radiator, did a few cooling system flushes, replaced the thermostat and temp sender, new viscous fan hub, re-installed the radiator shroud, new water pump, spaced the bonnet with washers to allow better air flow through the engine bay, then put twin ...

I think it was Evil73

My current midi has 2" OME suspension and shocks. They're Ok, nothing special though, I'm sure they'd be better than stock ones.

Have you looked at the EFS range ? The last 73 I had with those was pretty good, I'd even recommend them.

Go the Treps !

would it be cheaper and more viable to do a v8 conversion? Then youd have to get it engineered, adaptor kits etc. I think some came from the factory with a 1HZ, that way you wouldn't need a certificate and it would be a good simple engine for the middy IMO. Don't know what would be required for ...

Nice problem solving, I'd still be happier if their was some type of valve gaurd around them, like a piece of right angle welded over the top with just enough room to get the top off the valve. How do those gauges work remotely anyway, is it blu tooth or wifi or something like that ? Pretty techno ...

I took the easy way out today. The screw that holds the door light switch in place acts as the earth. Couldn't find any plastic screws that fitted, double sided tape didn't hold, so I just cut the wires and screwed the switches back in. No more beeping :armsup: (or interior light activation by the ...

Find a car stereo mob and ask them to wire an additional switch to turn the radio on independently of the ignition? It'd still beep when the doors are open. I suppose I could tape over all of the door open/closed switches that operate the interior lights so that the car thinks the doors are always ...

Help me make it stop :twisted: We have both 2wd and 4wd versions of these vehicles in our work fleet, and they all beep when you open the door and the keys are still in the ignition. This is a pain for me as I enjoy having the radio on with the door open when on site. You can stop it beeping by ...

It was made at Millweld in Bayswater, Vic

This is mine

I rekon go the cruiser ! Even after the lux is fully kitted up, after all that time and money you've still got a slow fourby riding on leaf springs. Sometimes its hard to make the break as you can get pretty attached to trucks you've put a lot of time and effort into, but you'll like the cruiser ...

The 92 petrol 80s came from the factory fitted with big block chevs (which is what yours is), however most people retro fitted the 1fz-fe engine with minimal fuss.

Check that the bolt hole for the panhard mount on the chassis isn't flogged out, and that the bolt itself isn't worn.
