Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Dont let anyone know from the yota side, but im considering selling my 2.8 turbo hilux and getting into an older GU coil ute. I will only be looking at the turbo diesels and im not prepared to spend huge dollars on a newer one, so likely it will have 300-350,000km under its belt. I will then put ...

im after the opinions of people that have run both simex extremes and tsl swampers,which one is the better offroad tyre(mainly mud),the size im thinking about is 36 x 12.5 x 15.any advice would be great,thanks 36 pedes are good in mud with better cross tread. swampers are also good but better on ...

searched to no success, have a factory locker here came out of 4.2l with 4.1 diffs. wondering if i can put it into a rb30 with 4.3s. im guessing diff gears could just be changed and intake manifold would have to be modified for hose to vacuum locker, or can the one of the 4.2 manifold screw ...

Is there anything wrong with welding 25mmx25mm angle 5mm thick to the underside of the diff? cheers If you are going to weld that on the diff tube youl need to watch how much heat you put into the welds. its best if you strip the housing and get it done right or bend up some steel to suit the ...

Im looking at a TB42 engined GQ ute, my question is, what sort of fuel economy are people getting? Is it actually cheaper to run a V8 than one of these? It does come with LPG, but I was looking at either Turbo TB42 or injected 302 windsor also on LPG? Any thoughts? Cheers, Dano. tb42 will go like ...

As for GQ and GU TD42 motors manifold being interchangeable there is a reason, they are the exact same motor.

Really?

Funny that!

Not a chance!

GQ and GU TD42 will interchange though.

And remember to check your rear main seal for leaks and housing for cracks, if you need either use genuine as i have found that the aftermarket seals leak in recent times fairly quickly. rear main i thinkn was around $50. these are the sorts of jobs you only want to do once cause its a shit of a job ...

Rhino liner will catch fire from mig spatter, it is soft enough to push your thumb nail into it. I know of a bloke who does poly urea coatings, its very similar to rhino but cures fully. This bloke does it for an industrial coating, silo's, rooves, inside tanks (chemical and water), he has also ...

Rhino liner stays soft and burns very easy, poly urea would be better and goes hard it is also available in colours. Yer i was going to mention, is there anyone out there who has any first hand experience with the rhino liners.. maybe in the ute back or what have you to give an idea on its ...
