Outer Limits 4x4 Board

SWB legally wont carry 5 people, the rear seats are split 50/50 and only have 2 seatbelts, making it a 4 seater, but as you say you rarely carry 5 people then all you have to do is say "no"... SWBs definately are cool looking and very capable offroad, I say go for it!! :cool: I myself will be ...

As long as the engine can breathe you'll be fine, just make sure your windows are up and your diff breathers are either plugged or extended so they don't suck water in.

So my 5spd manual has died and I'm looking for opinions on the best way to repair/replace/wreck. Paj is an 92 NH with a 6g72.

I have called a few wreckers and almost no one has any boxes to replace this one. I got one price of $1250 which is a LOT for an un-reco'd unit.

Questions:
1. Would it be ...

I use Caltex Havoline because my awesome diesel mechanic brother hooks me up with his "workshop supplies" and tells me this will do the job.

yeah you can get j-tops here but if you look at the 1st piccy i bought it for 3grand. then changed it offroaded it then got board so rather than buy another j-top thought just make one, be the only one in the uk that i know of, so just a little diffrent, my roll over bars are thicker than a j-tops ...

Nice work. They are some insane beadlocked tyres.

Although I must say I don't really see the point in chopping it when you could just get a J-Top and weld it up.

You going to clean it up a bit before you bolt it together for the last time or not going to be bothered?

I have gone without one of these since my body lift. It makes the cabin a little noisier so I might give these things a try too.

Coulnd't be too hard to pick up from a wrecker though eh?

Welding diffs is illegal for good reason. Unless it's a vehicle that you tow to events and only drive on anything but concrete or a sealed road then go ahead. But if you weld the diff and drive on the road you don't have any slippage so when you go round corners the inside wheel wan't to travel as ...

You should check your foot also. It may have significant lead deposits. This is often just a byproduct of inserting a P where the L used to be.

That tray looks like arse. It reminds me of a ssanyong.

Well i replaced the starter on Friday and now she kicks like a mule when you turn it over. Pretty safe to say I picked the right part to replace.


KL - have they looked at the starter at any point?

I had a problem with my startermotor. Sometimes it would start, sometimes not. Ended up taking it to the mechanics, he pulled it off and it was full of mud.

Are the electrics fine, ie can you hear the solenoid engage when you turn the key?

Yeah All I can hear is a click and no start. That's why ...

So my NH shorty won't start. 6g72 engine.

I thought it was the battery but it wouldn't even jump start so I hill started it and that worked. The battery earth seems fine and it started this morning.

So, any thoughts?

I have no idea what I'm talking about really, but have you thought about diesel gas?

Do you have a locker in the front and it's trying to engage maybe?

That was my first though although probably wrong.

Damn that looks nice.

I wish I could have done something as neat as that. What did all the materials set you back?

I wouldn't bother trying to tweak and rebuild the current engine, it'll end up costing a bucket load more than just swapping in a fresh 3.5 or holden 3.8.

some pallets for a bonfire?

Mechz, your could also be the idle stepper motor - also common fault. Leads to poor or non idle.

Why these fail is that are pretty delicate and the crankcase breather going into the intake just before it so it gets full of oil vapour from the crankcase leading to fouling.

I tested the resistance ...

Can you provide me with the link to those picures you posted above? I would sure like to get my hands on those fenders and learn more about the 4th link. Thanks in advance.

I'll take some like on the black beast too please.

Interesting way to set that up. I like it.

Thanks for the heads up guys.

I let it idle for about 25 minutes this morning and it's doing ok at the moment.

I'll check that idle stepper motor next weekend after I splurge on a creeper and some ramps.


Thing is with the AC, I took it to a specialist and got it back last Saturday after they ...

Funny you should bring this topic up, I'm having the same ShortyIQ problem. I keep mine going by locking the choke out so it idles at about 1000.

With mine, it runs fine from cold then if you stop it and restart the engine it will cough and splutter then stall.

And it's decided to blow aircon ...

How long did that take you to do?

Reminds me of that Lambo in Cannonball Run 2 where they hose off the white paint to reveal the real red duco underneath.

If you use the towbar just drill a hole in the middle for one of those eye bolts. It really won't affect anything. I just used a new piece of plate because I bent my towbar from previous recovery attempts and don't really use it.

I made this to bolt in place of the towball.





It cost me about $20.

Yes to all your questions, depends on which model you want.

If you have manual hubs I don't think you'll have a problem because they won't have any resistance against them, hence they won't bind up.
