Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Thanks for the quick reply

One last question, is there 2wd access?

I'm keen on attending but have a few questions. Mainly from the point of bringing young kids along

What are spectating points like, do you get to see much action?
Are stages along way apart?
How much walking is involved?
Food and Drinks vendors?

Mudzuki wrote:Who stocks them at that price?

There often on ebay for $250 in a 35

Cheapest place my mate found them was at Widetread Tyres in Ferntree Gully

My neighbour bought a set of these a few months ago in 265/75/16 and for the price they are absolutely awesome. Driving the same tracks i have the old BF muds he does everything a little easier and to compare both tyres after a mud hole they are poles apart, my BF muds are clogged and his are ...

I didnt know they stopped the LTB, i ran them for a while and loved them.
Doesnt leave a lot of options unless you can track some down interstate?

Not keen on the 34x9.5 Narrow S.S?

If your not hell bent on a true 35 what about Creepies in a 255/85/16?
They measure about 33.5 x 10?

Depending on how long the shocks are you may need extended brake lines and you may need to retain the springs.

Glenn Elliot ran a black Landy Hybrid Ute a few years back in the Ateco, i didnt get a close up look to notice how the cage was done inside the cab.

Pretty sure DaveS3 from here is a mate of Glenns, maybe shoot him a PM he might be able to help out a little?

I'm pretty keen for details too, anyone heard anything its normally on in about 4 weeks

Ok so its a 285/75/16 or a 32x11.5x15 if theres a rim to clear the brakes.

Thanks heaps mate

Thanks for the reply Scott. No it wasnt a 96 the dill didnt even know what year his car was

I'd be very keen to here from anyone regarding the fitting of 15" rims, makes buying a 2nd set of rims and tyres a little cheaper for him.

So a standard Patrol rim with a 285 will fit?

First of all i'm a Pajero noob and know very little i'm a Land Rover nut but please dont hold that against me :lol: , i pm'd Scott and he asked me to post it up so everyone might learn something. My neighbour has a 98 LWB 3500 V6 GLS Pajero. The Paj is bog stock and he wants to keep it that way but ...

Been an 82 it should be a 4spd unless its been changed.
Could be the vacuum actuator, i had one crap itself out in the bush one day and i couldnt disengage the centre diff.

DO IT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEcIM-J7NH4&feature=fvw

Why not consider something in a 235/85/16 only a fraction wider and taller than a 7.50/16 or if your after a bit taller 255/85/16

The 235 will open up a lot more options and if your looking for something more aggresive look at the skinny swampers there an awesome tyre.

on further inspection there are a few damaged teeth on the crown wheel. Have fun installing the KAM! Yea I think its beyond us. If he goes down this path he would get LRA to do it. Having a look at the yota kits and its all starting to look a bit expensive when you factor in buying the diff and you ...

I really dont like the idea of having to grind and weld the pumpkin to get a KAM locker to fit.
Anyway have a read here theres a bit more info

I reckon if your dad is happy enough with performance i would stay with the original 3.54 and run Airlockers with the Hi Tough Axles. I'm not really up with the diff pegging but my guess it stops flex. This set up should be good enough for a rangie on 33's, CV's will be the next thing to start ...

Good stuff mate

any ideas guys.


cheers brett

Check your lift pump

Its a lot of coin, just had a look at his website $ 540-00 http://www.lrautomotive.com.au/index1.html

Unfortunately there about the only thing available that looks any good.
With the good dollar maybe look overseas?

If you were to buy a kit like the LRA everything is included. If your a tight ass like me and want to do it yourself, make sure you space the supports for the cargo area to suit your bodylift.......Under the rear wheel arches above the spring perch is where i'm talking about, i've seen a rangie with ...

If their factory is built like their cars, someone would have to 'SLAM' the doors

They wouldnt have to turn the power off though it would go off all by itself

Have a read of this thread, he converted a 3dr Hartop into a ute.

Yep thats the turbo Ben GT2256V, its the same turbo as on the TGV2.8 Another turbo option would be the TD04 Guessing by Guru saying not too exspensive a new turbo might be out of the question. Guru Triumph Rover Spares sell a replacement cooler but its 700 beer tickets and they claim some real ...

I did the pump mods on my 110 then added a 2.5" exhaust from the turbo back, no muffler or resinator its a little loud but not unbearable even in a 110. I really noticed the difference when i did my pump, the exhaust i have no doubt helped and it sounds pretty good too :D Make sure you have your EGT ...

Gee i dont think LR ever sold a single cab Defender Ute in Oz, someone correct me if i'm wrong? Plenty of tray backs but i'm not sure on utes. What you can do Gee is buy a 3 door Hardtop and unbolt the roof,rear door and the top half of the sides and bolt on a single cab roof and rear window and ...

Yes the 300tdi is a little more refined than the 200 but has no electrics so cant be chipped....most common mod is tweaking the fuel pump and a free flowing exhaust but still no powerhouse. That ute on MR's site looks like a 90 SWB or possibly a hybrid 100 but someone on here is sure to know that ...

There were also a few kits done using ford or chev pistons out of which engine i'm not 100%, think the ford was a 221 as piston bore size is the same as a 3.5 rover

Hava i think standard rods are 5.7" centre to centre but i did read somewhere the LR changed conrod length at some point in time

Just found out the crank is a 4.4 leyland, by the number on crank. Still waiting on conrod info. They could very well be standard rover rods and pistons may be standard rover with the crown reduced to compensate for the extra stroke? Pretty sure this is how Ritters did there strokers Edit The ...
