Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Do it, you will love it. I run a Falcon compressor and it has lasted around 8 years by pumping a little grease in ever now and then, it is only just now getting noisy.

For Masters last year I did 3mm Alloy sheet. I got a half sheet and had them cut it to 1200x900, I wanted it to go from side rail above door to other side and from screen to roll bar with no gaps and to look like a normal roof. After marking one side where it needed rolling I placed the sheet with ...

I found that rather interesting too, they were Calmini axles.

upgrade ur front ones, i ran 33 jt2s and never had a problem, also ran cromos in the rear and broke them, ya better of with standard axles in the back. You reckon ? Your saying you busted Chro-mo's that are undeiably way harder to kill that the standard units ... but you recommend standards in the ...

Me and the other bloke
(providing I get the new gears for the transfer that spat some teeth )

Been a while but from memory the cable won't fit into a wide track lever (some 1.3 cases still had transfer brake, maybe all NT cases??) Get the lever as well to be sure. I would look at all options for rear discs like the Subaru, Nissan etc. I had the Sierra discs on the rear with Vitara vented ...

Have we got the results? Shaun and John John drove excellently so wouldn't be surprised if they took out that round. But also Denny and Charles were rather impressive so it would've been close. That was my first time out at the Masters, very impressed with the tracks. Big variety of terrain. Makes ...

ARB and others sell frames for their seats that are approved. Most aftermarket seats use a common rail spacing and mounting system. You will need an engineers app to make you own. Bazzle Even if using the "approved" mounts you will still need to have it certified in your vehicle. (NSW Definatly ...

Remove all carpet and underlay and strip any underlay from the back of the carpet, then using soapy water and a scrubbing brush wash carpet and hose of then hang out to dry (will take 1-2 days depending on weather) then visit a local trimmer and buy some new underlay and cut to size and glue back in ...

Yeah i did put the Shim plates back in... But it is still loose? I did not change or remove anything apart from the King Pin bearings themselves... I didn't actually even replace the king pin runners (What the bearing run on)... So possibly they need to be replaced with the newer ones which came ...

I've received a reply from the petition starter; The main reason for this petition is that the RTA has had meeting with Delegates from the Australian Street Rod Federation and have told them (even showed them a draft copy) of a new system. However they will not release this information, Hence the ...

there wasnt much info about the recent time when they tried to stop all 4x4 suspension mods when i came across them either but guess what,all the car communities in australia stood by the 4x4 drivers and signed the petition and had it thrown out.i suppose when the going gets tough you know who your ...

I would use an unbacked carpet or boot liner, it will make life a heap easier and if glued using a spray contact adhesive will last a long time and look neater. It is made of the same material as marine carpet which generally has a heavier backing and a slightly higher UV rating both of which are ...

where is the link?
any further info or vsi numbers that we can give to the association to chase up through the the necessary channels, rather than them or us barking up the wrong tree.

Looks OK. An option for mounts are the Honda engine mount, these will give you a 25mm lift only but are bolt in and seem to be quite strong.
the part number is MT8330 from Repco, Honda accord engine mounts

Must say a big thanks to Diff Technics at Kogarah, they sleeved my axle as a temporary repair on Friday night and called me at 10pm to pick it up! I am still a little stunned by their service, especially when they, like I, knew it had been that way for weeks so why leave it to the last minute to fix ...

Results are up on the Masters site

Just got back from diff place and when they set it up to check it they said it was not bent, so we removed the bearing and all was revealed. It turns out that some bright spark had previously turned down the axle and then decided to sleave it, the sleave had then worn and was breaking up causing ...

I have a Bundeera rear diff in a Sierra, I have just discovered that the short side axle is rather bent, (been blaming Silverstones for being out of round...) I have also just discovered after an hour on the phone that there doesn't seem to be any left at any wreckers, this led me to ring a diff ...

If you go by the (Internet) chassis drawings a NT LWB rear spring hangers are shown at 965.5mm apart where as a WT SWB is shown as 975.5mm. However when I measured my 86 NT LWB they were 975.5 so I don't really have any solid answer. Interesting thing is that my rear mains are too short and it ...

just wondering if a Vitara brake booster will fit in to a sierra Yes it will fit.. sort of... The studs line up and the pedal fits in the shaft but the center diameter of the hole on the body is around 1mm under-size for the booster so some die grinding was needed to get it to seat nicely on the ...

Here is a converted ARB bar,

Here is the build thread with pics of the bar and winch fitted.

Thanks once again to the organisers for another great day, congrats to TLCC and Bong Bong who from what I saw had some awsome drives. We had a mixed sort of day some silly mistakes costing us points and time. But we are yet to roll over and give up......... ;) (well we may have rolled over but we ...

Thanks for the results, very happy little campers here

Zooks 1st in Tuff Truck and 1st in Masters, well well well

Thank you to 16EM and all associated for putting on a great day and for having the balls to start what I believe will be a great series. I know our team had a fun day and the Suzuki club is looking forward to the next one. I can't really fault much with the day and found the pit area to be a top ...

How long is temporary? 1 week or 1 year?
Contact adhesive is what you need, apply to both surfaces and let it get tacky then stick, but it wont weather well and exposure and glue quality will dictate how long it holds.

If its the long type of temporary then urethane will work but very messy.

awesome - ill give that a crack for sure =) $120 to replace a window is hell steep - can most likely buy a new back for that (its a 3piece top from MU canvas). I should note that I have buffed windows before but they were extruded clears much like what you would find on a factory top, higher priced ...

If I am correct there was a rule about wearing long pants, is this still in and will it be enforced?

Car polish can be used, also Mr Sheen, there are proper clear polishes but they tend to be pricey. If it is quite bad have a trimmer replace the window (~$120) or get a buff and cutting compound an buff it like you would on paint.
