Outer Limits 4x4 Board

ok have put on a cork one dry, will see how it goes.

what tension for the bolts?

is the cork gasket fitted dry? is the adhesive only to aid fitting?
the other pan i have looks pretty good, hopefully it will be right this time, its a real prick to get out past the exhaust

i have a spare pan which looks better than the other, not sure y i didnt use it before

so you reckon cork is the go?

has anyone used silicone with good results? not sure if i trust the cork now, but probably the fault of a rough pan.

does the cork compress and need retightening?

Hi
I had a cork gasket but it leaked on my auto sump/pan so i tried silicone which leaked too. I may have filled it too soon tho (about 24hr, pretty cold down here) but have noticed that the holes are pushed out so there is more pressure around the bolt holes than between.

Will fix this but wanted ...

so for doing what i want (up to 5-6mm) the 170 is probably the go?

people say go mig, go mig, but i dont think there is a point.

a gasless mig might be handy for doing sheet work if that is ever needed, but its only a possibility, definately need some sliders!!

Just went to the local wleding supply sotre and they currently have these on special for $480 inc GST, or the one with the tig attatchment for $900. Not looking at that one tho.

Any idea what thickness this would weld, min to max?

Would there be a reason to look at a gasless mig instead?

A bit off topic but what are these small cigweld units like?

the light works, i found the pin for it on the 4wd ecu plug, just need to find one to hook it up to.

there will be nothing going to the front diff, will do the hose clamp mod.

I went to the wreckers and traced the wires and cut off the motor plug and the plug for the transfer indicator switch (which didnt seem to make a difference). luckily the motor wiring colours and my diagrams matched, so i wired it up. The motor now runs for a second and the tailshaft cannot be ...

In a 4wd action mag a couple of years back im pretty sure the just straps performed better than the big name straps

will need adjustable panhard rod or drop bracket, or the driveshaft hits the fuel tank. if you flex it

im pretty sure they are in v6 4runners

this is a common mod for ingine swaps. but it looks like mine was modified to sit on the inside of the firewall. not sure if this is easier or not tho

how come the spacers didn't work?

i have standard 80 series springs in mine and i got about 3" lift. needed an adjustable panhard rod too, and matched it with procomp shocks.

i had a safari on my 4runner that was on there since new (92) and still looked perfect. Unless things have changed since then you cant fault that

I had an hour or so to have a look at the wiring. thought that it was all looking good and I should be able to get it sorted.

no such luck. none of the wiring matches up with the diagram I have been trying to use. I have checked against the add relay, the wiring is not matching the pin outs ...

ok have been looking around a bit to see what i do have to connect and what i can leave out.

according to this http://www.4x4wire.com/toyota/tech/add/ i can leave the ADD indicator switch off, and dont need any wiring to the VSVs. (will have the diff perminantly in drive position)

i would also ...

yeah you might be right russ. this way i assume that I will need the sensors on the front diff connected. that should be easy enough.

I was thinking that the transfer would be a more reliable option, but might not be as easy as bolting the new one on by the sound of it.

multimeter time again

i bent up some aluminium, pop rivited it to the pillar and clamped that with hoseclamps, but mine has rubber bends

thanks for your reply Dougster.

I have the computer, but none of the wiring exits the cab. It terminates behind the dash i think.

i thought about just wiring something to run the motor, but ideally should utalise the limit switches, without it can cause damage to the motor, and I want it to be ...

sorry i thought that was in my sig, ill try again.

Its a 91 Surf, has a 1UZ with lexus auto and standard push button surf transfer

when the motor was put in they pulled out all the 4wd wiring and i cant find a way to get the motor to work properly, even with the diagrams, short of wiring the whole ...

Hi everyone

I cant figure out how to get the motor on my Surf transfer case to work (no wiring), and am looking at getting a mechanical hilux transfer.

What are the differences, is there a particular model I should look for? I have been informed that the input is different between the hilux ...

Gday

I have a Surf with a 1UZ :D , ADD and electronic transfer :cry: , when the motor went in they pulled out all of the 4wd wiring :roll:



I have the ADD working, but is there an easy way to run the transfer motor without having to do the whole wiring up from scratch?


Im pretty sure that ...

i made mine from 3" stainless with rubber elbows from the truck shop, and flexible hose from purple pig, with lots of sealant just in case. Brackets on the A pillar are aluminium and is held on by the hose clamps. mine goes down into the guard and into the bottom of the airbox instead of straight ...

Try this, hopefully accurate!

there is no doubt that the front will be the first to lift a wheel with the ifs and can certainly benefit from the extra traction.

im about to put a lockrite in the front of the surf, the only thing that worries me is slippery uphills where there is drive to both front wheels and it sliding ...

sorry champ all i can find is the programming sequence for the transponder keys

but im sure there must be an easy way...?

im sure we can sort something out. i will check on our database tomorrow (seems i cant cut and paste, dang legalities..!)

hopefully i can get what us locksmiths call the "chicken dance" method for u, but no promises, toyota dont like giving sh!t away...!
