Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Might also be worth having a look at the injector pump for leaks, mine was doing something similar for a while and then one day the whole thing went and cost $1300 as i had to get a new injector pump.

While suicide doors may look cool they are a pain in the @rse to get in and out of, even if you thinking about for a winch truck....

So would i be needing a hi-steer kit for only a 2" lift on 91 solid axle lux?

I was told i would need one, but so far have had no issues and lift has been on for 4yrs now.....

around the 500 mark is about right, I got mine replaced 2mths ago, but had to get a new model which has the vaccuum pump under the alt instead of at the rear (or something like that) also needed some reqiring done to fit the new alt. Apparently they have changed the design since mine was new 1991 ...

I have a 91 DC lux and ended up going to a RidePro suspension, I find the shocks are great and slightly bigger bore than other shocks.

I think for everything, included bushes, steering dampener, shackles , u-bolts etc etc was about 1400 and put it myself with a mate.

I did my tyres the other day and run then at abour 40psi, from memory the sidewall says 50psi for loaded with 1000kg.

I find 40psi fine for driving around town but certainly need to lower when going bush.

Yeah if you get a snorkel you should be fine, I have been through water where the water was just below the windscreen which was a bit scary, but if you keep a constant speed and dont change gears while going through the water all is good.

from my understanding the rears should be fine, but the fronts will rub.

However, with wheel spacers they will be OK, just be careful on which states as i think some states wheel spacers are illegal, eg: Vic

Yeah I remember the LF stand, the was a XGT under each corner or the jeep.

Yep x2 for the Starter Motor solenoid, else the starter motor iteself.

I put in RidePro about amonth ago and very happy with em so far.

Hahahaha, its not a HT Monaro or Phase III GT, hahahhaa

Hey guys,

I am looking into getting a custom bar for the front of the lux, anyone know a rough price range for getting one made up?

I know it depends on what your after but a rough price range would ne fine.

Ummmmm, the subject says IRONMAN Lift kit, I didnt think that Ironman did a 5" lift????

Yeah x3 for Glenmount.

Contact Kent on 09544 4000

I got some suspension off him last week and he was a great help and great prices.

Sounds about the right price, I am looking around at the moment for a 2" suspension lift for my 91 DC lux and got quoted 1500 - 1600 for the full kit supplied, this included, Springs, Shaocks, Stearing Damper, Gerasable shackles, greasable pins, bushes all round and new U-Bolts. How ever in saying ...

Although I am not really in the know about the cruisers, as i have a lux.

However, I second the advise of Glenmount Auto in Glen Waverley, Give Kent a call 9544 4000.

He really knows his stuff and is great to talk to.

Going to be ordering my ridepro gear early next week.

Cheers

Yeah they can be a pain to a pain to get off, I had to spear it with a screwdriver to get mine off as well.

OK thanks for that, yeah these are rough prices on what I was quoted for bushes and shackles.

all front bushes - $55
all rear bushes - $50
all front shackles - $150 (standard length)
all rear shackles - $150 (standard length)

So thats is like $400 extra for new bushes and shackles.

Cheers

Hi Guys, I am looking lifting my 91 dc hilux, was looking at getting a OME full kit from ARB, however, a mate can get lovells suspension at trade prices and we will do the installation. Is there any feedback on Lovells suspension setups, do they only do springs or the full setup including shocks ...

Sorry guys forgot about the details of said vehicle.

It is a 91 DC lux 2.8 D.

Hi Guys, Wondering if you have any ideas on this one........ When i drive around city driving, the idle sits on about 7 - 800 when halted, however, when driving for a while on the freeway or long stretches of road at higher revs about 2800 - 3000 and coming to a stop, like lights or intersection the ...

Sounds like the exhaust manifold hasnt been sealed properly using the gasket, this was the same problem that I had when I had a broken stud.

easily fixed though.

Hi Guys,

I've got a 91 DC lux with the 2.8d and love it, but the biggest things that sh*ts me is the lack of power, especially on the longer trips.

Hi Guys, OK, I have my lux for about a year now and the front springs have started to sag, so time for a suspension upgrade. I am looking at getting a 2" lift all round so obviously with 91 lux it is leaf sprung front end. So i have the following questions for you guys 1. What brand would you ...

Great looking lux you got there, would love to see some pics of it in action

OK, just to clarify, I havent over filled my lux

it is a 2.8D lux and I was just curious would there be any adverse effects it say I ended up putting say 7.5 ltrs of oil in.

I think from memory the capacity is about 5.5 or 6.

Not a problem guys, but generally more motors are the same, that was my experience with the commo v6 so I assume that a toyo 3.4 v6 will be much the same.

Anyways all the best with the power quest.
