Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Modnam,

I had 80 series Landcrusher all round in my Disco. Fronts needed the towers raised about 1/2" as you say, and the rears bolted in upside down. That doesn't worry Bilsteins.

Seems to work quite well as a package.

What are you measuring? Outer edge to outer edge?
Measure from safety lip to safety lip. That'll be the 6.5"

Check out the equivalent of the Associations Incorporation Act. Every state has one. There should be some model rules in there. If not, the NSW model does. Just make sure theres a non-profit clause in there i.e. a ban on distributions to members. There should be a clause to the effect "in the event ...

Has anyone got a decent clutch setup in a Tdi? Mine's gone after 12 months. One before didn't last that long either, but the original went 190,000 kms. Apparently a custom multi-plate setup will be $2000-3000, or a button clutch could go in. Got a button in the race car - great for dropping the ...

So what's involved in cranking the radius arms? Just heat and bend? Any strength issues? Any rego /engineering cert problems?

The Rovertym ones appear to be plated as well.

Who can do this? Anyone in Sydney?

Looking at again, I think the front drive shaft will hit the bar once Sam's bushes go in on my car. So, its back to the drawing board.

Thanks Sam

Mine arrived this morning


Can't wait to try them out

What do you guys think of this design? m Seems to me to be quite neat. Easy to use, and no hassles with tying up the bar out of the way somewhere. Only problem I can forsee is whether it might bind as the bar ends are forced to move through an arc coz of the panhard rod. Ive got a Selbys item on the ...

Make sure you get the vacuum tank, switch, light and all the lines with the Maxi.

The early design isn't intergrated. So heat only comes from the demister and floor heater, as you say. It gets worse. Noticed how useless the air con is on the fresh air setting? This just sets the recycle air con to the low fan setting, and draws fresh air in from oustside. When it gets warm inside ...

G'day Ben,

Early Rangie wheels are 6" aren't they?

I've got 235/85/15 MTRs on the Disco, 2" spring lift. Standard bump stops doesn't touch anywhere after the rear guards were trimmed.

Discos need the corner of the rear guard taken off, I had a panelbeater just follow the Rangie profile.

Isn't a 12,000 just a 10,000 with lower gearing & a bigger diamater cable?

Seems to sit a long way forward. Whats the approach angle like? My hi-mount is only just clear of the grille - sits wholly withing an ARB bar.

Together with Lightforce 240s, it very efficiently blocks air fow. But thats another problem next summer.

For the answer, go to the Landrover anti-FAQ at

or drive around Sydney at the moment. When's the rain going to stop?

Instructions used to say hook it as close to your main battery as possible.

Once the main is topped up after starting, the solenoid will close and link the two.

FWIW, I had trouble with mine. Wouldn't always disconnect when you stop the car, never trusted it..

You're not having much luck with diffs..

Front one fixed OK?

Roly,

Theres a conventional 2wd dyno at Salisbury Road Hornsby. John Scott Motors. I've had 2 cars done there.

If you want / need a 4wd dyno, try Graeme Cooper at Newtown. He's done a few Nissans.

McNamara also makes 4.1s but I was advised to stay away, Not as strong, uses spacers etc. Ashcroft ones are apparently the go. I ended up swapping the Lt230 1.2 hi range gear for a defender 1.4. Same effect, although defender transfer cases are getting hard to find. And I had the maxidrive crawler ...

Sounds like its tramping under power. But if springs were the only thing changed, it shouldn't be shocks or bushes.. The nose up might be the answer. Does it tramp both ways, left & right? If not, its probably something to do with the panhard rod. Is the angle excessive? My guess is if it tramps ...

Talk to Matt or Brad at KLR, Sydney. There's are chassis mounted, and strong.. Ok to hi-lift off.

I've got the 30% maxidrive crawler, and I'm impressed. Rockcrawling is much easier, more controlled. But not only the performance, the quality seems better. No backlash, but they do howl. (I assume they're straight cut?) Looked at putting 4.1 diffs in, but the maxidrive was cheaper. And Hi range is ...
