Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Yeah, that's the issue i have been looking at. There is little enough room with the spare in there as it is!

Puk

Yeah,
I found out about their thirst already.
One quote i have received is for about $2000 after the $1500 rebate.
I think it will pay for itself pretty quickly though, and i plan on having it for a while.

Thanks,

Puk

Hi guys,
Sorry i couldn't find this on search.
I just picked up a 96 XJ Cherokee Sport with 165,000 klms on it.
Are these a good candidate for an LPG conversion? (It is my DD as well as fun bus)

If so, does anyone have any idea of the approximate cost?

Puk

I know it's the soft option, but i took mine to an auto elec. He had to machine some off the back of the sierra pulley to get it to sit so the belt was flush. He checked and connected all the wires, bench tested it all. As long as i took it out of the 'zook and put it back in, he only charged me $30 ...

I know what you mean about the brake booster. We put one in my maruti when we did the engine and 5-speed conversion. I'm glad we did. Makes a big difference.
Puk

P.S. most 'zook stuff will also bolt up to a Maruti. Geez, for $5500 you could have mine.....

What are they wanting for it?
Puk

The metal channel inside the door that the window is supposed to be guided by has broken free of the door and is now hanging off the rubber/felt lining, rattling and tapping annoyingly. I have to get in there and rip it out as there is no way it can be re-welded in there. I just have to lift the ...

I watched the wrecker take it out of the door. That was all i needd to know to put it back in mine.

Of course it turns out that the regulator wasn't the actual problem.....

Puk

Dammit Grimbo, you beat me to that one.
I only have a 4-burner Zook i'm afraid.
But i strike a lot of snags. I gave the body a bit of a chop. There was just too much at steak. It needs more beefing up though. I hope it doesn't get t-boned.......

Puk

Try the border track Moph.
Up near Pinnaroo, 2.5 hours run from Adelaide. Good fun. Don't do it alone.
Yep Steve, it's almost in Victoria....In fact, spit out the passengers window and it lands in Victoria.

Puk

I got an upgraded wiring loom from potter on this site. $75 inc postage. It was well made, truly plug 'n play into your existing headlight sockets etc, and a i also got narva h4 insert headlights. I went to 55/100w globes, but am thinking of dropping back to the 55/65's, because they are almost too ...

dont all the 1ltr ones have the handbrake on them

No, i had a 1L one in the maruti and the handbrake is on the rear wheels.

Puk

Yeah, i reckon it is the f10a.
Well it was before it came out and a g13a went in there!

Puk

Oh. Bugga.

Puk

Hi all, I n searching i have found that what i have may be a Bailey channel (?) issue, but i need some advice. My passenger window is RS. I thought it was the mechanism, which i replaced with one from the wreckers, but the problem is still there. The rubber/felt channel AND the metal c-shaped ...

I have been waiting for a mate to do it, but he is busy as, and i need the shackles for the back of the ute. I can't get to a place to do it myself. I am blinding everybody with my low beams, and constantly driving uphill!

Give me a price. I have the bolts. We'll negotiate.

Anyone?

Puk

Search button! (beat ya Grimbo!)
Or maybe try this thread that is currently running:

Could be a touch more than 45. But not much.

If anything i will go about 1 inch over standard to see what happens, but yes they are the standard 70mm.

Excuse my ignorance, but what are the problems i am likely to encounter if they go much over the 45 degrees?

Puk

yep, just re-drilled the hangers. It all fit quite nicely, and is a LOT better behaved on the bumpy stuff now. As i was undoing one of the lock-nuts on the top of the existing shock absorber, the shaft sheared off. I am SO glad i replaced them. It all looks pretty stock anyway, as i have a big ugly ...

The front shackles are actually the standard ones. they sit at about 45 degrees forward on flat ground with the 2" lifted springs moved about 35mm further back in the hangers. I know you lose the effect of the longer wheel base, but it was easier all round, and i didn't want too much extra height in ...

thanks for all the help and advice on here guys. yesterday i put the 2" lifted Rears up front, 35mm further back on the hangers, with commodore wagon rear shocks, and the little beast has never ridden so well. I put a 1" bumpstop extension into it, and it is going great guns. I didn't have time to ...

Sorry to un-hijack this thread
, but i have bought from them and had no hassles. I just got a pair of rear 2" longer shocks (not heavy duty) for $110 the pair, which i thought was pretty good.
shipping is always fast, too.
Puk

Thanks Steve.
I'll give them a look.

Puk

My accelerator pump (the little doover that gives a squirt of petrol when you floor the accelerator) is buggered. The "boot" over it is cracked and perished, and i don't get the little jet of petrol when floored (i have checked). Fixing this should help with the hesitation also, shouldn't it? Are ...

I have searched and read all about which rear shocks to go with 2" lifted springs when you are on a budget. However, i only have 1" lifted rear springs, which are nice and soft (i needed that because of how light the back of the ute is). I did a RUF with 1" lifted shocks as well (which were closer ...

I was driving along the other day when my ute started roaring. I was close to the shop that put the muffler on for me about 3 months ago, so i crawled around there and we had a look. The muffler had cut cleanly at a weld about half way along. It wasn't hitting anything, and all the rubber mounts ...

He did it for $75, with 2 relays and a big fuse block, all soldered, and said that he could do one with wiring for spotties as well for an extra $20. Perfect for someone who knows nothing about auto-electrics, it is truly plug-n-play. :armsup: It even removed the "negative/positive" switching ...

PM Potter.

Puk

P.S. Now that's some cool alliteration

BTW,
I ended up buying an upgraded loom for less cost than i reckon i could make one for. No soldering, just plug it in and bolt one wire direct onto the battery.

The difference in UNBELIEVABLE!

thanks Potter.

Puk

Hi all, I have a friend who has an lj80 as a paddock-basher for the kids, and they need a few bits and pieces (handbrake bracket, passenger window-glass, etc.) I know we are talking OLD now, but does anyone know where things like that might be found? I will put the request in the WANTED section, but ...
