Outer Limits 4x4 Board

well ive put a 400 chevy in my 60 and i do not regret it one bit
shits all over my old 2f offroad and crawls all over my mates 12ht
so far its cost me about $2200 and ive just done everything myself
halfway through certifying it now and there has not been one problem at all
as for 1000 for wiring it ...

isnt that the petrol motor from an 80 tho?

yeh i was pretty certain t6hat the 2f had more tourque but i just basically wanna now the interchangability of components from each engine?
it looks as if they are pretty similar
i was jus lookin at rebuiling the 2f and givin it sum extra grunt maybe a low blow supercharger?

i run a 2f atm in my 60 but its really quite tired and i have the option of buyin a 3f thats had a lil minor work in the grunt department
my question is what are the major differences between these engines
i know the 3f is a 4L and has more power from the factory but will it slot staright in place ...

does it matter if you dont use a relay?
i jus simply wired mine up with power to switch then light to switch with a ground in there somewhere.
doesnt seem to have any problems and the light is bright enuf
is this wrong?

g'day all,

Ive fitted a Marks Adaptors Variable Ratio Box, that allows you to adjust settings for two tyres so that you can ran your road tyres on setting A and your offroad tyres on setting B, and toggle between them at the flick of a switch. It cost me $165- comes with instructions how to fit ...

yeh if its just to fit tyres jus go a body lift with a minimal spring lift
i run 3" in the spring 2 in the body and 2" in the shackles and i fit 37's no drama
most probs wit bigger tyres cum wit the offset of the rims
if u run a biggish offset then u'll start hittin the front of the guards
and the ...

haha shit
didnt read that bit
oh well should pass on my local arb number anyway lol

just ring up local arb shop and quote the serial number on top

no doubts that way

yeh mine is similar as above cept i run the furthest end down to the ground as anyone who has tried sleepin in the high country durin winter wood no u need everybit of wind/rain protection
sorta give u an enclosed tent without one end

yep

i jus stuck my two locker switches next to the steering column and then where the ash tray use to be i made a blanking plate and stuck sum thin alloy there which can now hold 6 other switches includin my comp switch
no photos but im sure u can use your imgination

i was lookin at a four inch system but i believe it ends up being to firm the ride is rough and there is bugger all flex
of course there may be variations out there and ppl who swear by 4" but IMHO they are too tight and offer bugger all flex
i went the 3" route which gave around 2.5" in real life ...

is it best to weld or bolt in a bar between the shackle???
like in the middle of the 2 shackle mounts????
i jus got 11mm steel wit no bars

my 2f is already on gas and i preety much run it on that all the time and im still fillin up twice a week doin about 180 kays or so
im certainly headin towards a 2h or a 12ht if i cood get one cheap
wood it be best for me to stick in new diff gears say around 5.11s then do the converison coz the big ...

just ring up ateco and quote ur serial number
theyll tell u the exact date it was made
as for load rating just check on top of the gearbox above the serial number

yer id prolly look at buyin a wreck and take it from there
that way i think it makes the swap much easier when everything is there
if i do go the 2H route how hard wood it then be to stick a turbo on the side of it?
wood a intercooler be beneficial or should i jus concentrate on fuel delivery and ...

well thats the thing
i have researched the road legal requirements for any of these conversions and the 2H is so easy its jus not funny
no engineers report is required for the conversion using either the 2H or 12HT as they were both options on other 60's
all that is required is a declaration by any ...

ok i pose a question
im runnin a 60 series atm which has a very worn out 2F
im lookin to a conversion which gives enough power to spin my 37's and a reasonable fuel economy
2H seems a sensible option but would it need a turbo?
the 12HT gets great reviews but it might be too $$$$ for me(at least ...

just a question on changin seats
if i take the mounts off a hilux seat but keep the runners is it possible to then change over to another set of mounts which are the same width and mount them onto the hilux runners???
does any one follow that jargon?

pm camelux

use stripper leave it one for bout 30 mins
that softens it up a bit then scrape it off
for the harder bits use a cold chisel it should just chip off
or use a wire wheel on a drill
