Outer Limits 4x4 Board

The key lock on the outside of the drivers door won't unlock with the key anymore. One day it was working now it wont. Anybody know why or how to fix it??

Maybe one of the rods has come off. You can pull the door trim and get at it from there.
There is a horseshoe shaped clip that keeps the lock ...

Hi Joel,
Thats my understanding, I think its only required in sub 0 temperatures. Perhaps another member can clarify?
Regards, Bucko.

Its an anti pollution device to cut the hydrocarbons from a cold engine by advancing the timing on the pump.
As the engine warms up it melts the wax in the ...

Hi Guy's
New to the forum and have been reading some of the posts and now would like some questions answered.

Who manufactured the Arkana? and are they still around? Did a search and no luck

Low oil pressure at idle (no reading on Dash guage or other fitted) and 40 -60 psi at 2500rpm is normal ...

T

x2 You can use a cable off any Toyota thats long enough.
I put a $25 Hilux cable on 4 years ago after the needls jumped and its been perfect ever since

I don't think the front and rear centres are the same. I think (?) the front is a high centre diff so it may be different to the rear.

Maybe I'll just go with the front locker then. Unless I can find an open 4.11 centre in good condition and no too many $$$.

Correct ,the front is a high pinion ...

awww crap.... anyone know a way around this?

Use a non computerised pump from a 1HD FT if you can find one

Hi Nik .If the pump just needs an adjustment on the dyno ,they charge about $150.
I think the turbo diesel injector nozzles cost about $100 ea with labour.
Just ring around and see what prices you can get but I doubt they will vary much.
The injection shop I use says the Toyota 6 cyl diesels are a ...

The black smoke is nearly always bad injectors or the pump needs some adjustment.
Spend about $600ish on a diesel fuel service and the problem should be fixed.
Th injector nozzles are probably dribbling fuel out rather than spraying it.
In the long run it can lead to hot spots on the piston and burn ...

Ya Mine hasnt got Realy anything done to it i.... just got a bad reputation and the "Alpine" Sticker across the back and the "Globe" Sticker across the windscrean doesnt help... think the P plates are the main attraction to them wankers tho and my Record :P

Oh My God YOU HAVE GOT ALPINE AND ...

I would be checking the fuel cut solenoid 1st. It should make an audible click as it switched on/off.
Its ok to run a temporary wire to the battery

as soon i get around 80kms it gets a bad wobble in the steering , that bad that my old mand driving behind me can see the front tyres vibrating and there is also no sighn of tyre wieghts missing and all the bushes and shocks are brand new as well as steering dampener
any help will be appreciated ...

I dont think the cops in WA are too harsh on the 50mm rule. There seems to be plenty of 4x4 getting around with closer to 100mm combined tyre and spring lift.

They dont like SOA or anything that looks untidy though

Just so everyone knows,the last model Coasters used the 1HD FTE engine but that has now gone out of production and has been replaced by the 15BT FTE as of 07
Maybe a few of these gems will end up in cruisers;)

Yep ok thanks. So mine with mid range oil preasure is fine but my mates is to high. What is the problem with high oil preasure. what damage can result?

The gauge and sensor are unreliable in these. Before you make any decisions ,check it with a mechanical gauge that can be plugged into the engine ...

I read somewhere the new models(only sold in Europe) were using an Aisan gearbox ,the same as fitted to Suzuki Vitara

When you get that EGT you maybe surprised at the temps inside your combustion chamber

If your LSD still has an effect I would use it. If it doesnt work its pointless paying the extra

Hey all,
After reading all this, i checked out the tojo website and that new FJ that they have on there looks more americanised than ever!!! Its also starting to take the shape of a down right pethetic excuse for a 4wd! A Jeep! haha :D N yeh totally right in saying that they are turning ...

Is that 2 transferr case levers ????

Yep,it allows you to use low range in 2wd without unlocking the hubs.
You can buy the shifter off the shelf in the US

How much is the reserve though? And it is in NSW. Bloody eastern states have all the good deals.

Just went looking at some others before, and an absolute ...

It was probably http://www.birfield.com/

They were all shut down for a while but they seem to be up and running again.

Buy a Gregorys for $29,pretty good for the price or watch out for the FSMs on ebay.

Ive had them on my 73 series for 4 years and they are still ok.
I adjusted them back to the softest level the other week and it made a small but noticeable differnce.
I think they are good value for the price

I also have a FJ73 fitted with a 1HZ diesel and the toque difference is amazing.The old 3F was getting tired and had lost of power in the lower RPMs.
The 1HZ can plough through anything including soft sand with ease.
It was a fully rebuiilt unit using Japanese pistons and bearings.
The pump was also ...

BEANZ "Rosco, see if you can isolate the wire harness as the problem. Go back to the factory manuals and see if you can run temporary wires from the sender to the gauge. If you can ...

And the final job,well almost if you dont count those 1/2 dozen niggling little jobs that take as much effort as the installation

Aircon is not shown as it was too hard to fit the old compressor so I bought a new one and it all works fine now

Heres a pic during the instal

I recently pulled out the old 3F from my FJ73 and installed a fully rebuilt 1HZ with a rebuilt injector pump.
Everythings fine plenty of power ,torque. :D

Only thing is I havent been able to get right is the oil pressure gauge
The 1HZ and the 3F use the same type of sender unit that screws into ...

I'm in the process of ordering some 2" springs for my middy. The options are 7 leaf or h/duty 8 leaf pack. The front are the same as a 75 series, the rears are the same as 60 series. The question i have is the H/D set would have to be designed for a 6 cyl troopy or ute front and 60 wagon rear which ...
