Outer Limits 4x4 Board

the only thing that got to be about this test was lack of information. I'm about to buy an ARB Deluxe for my Colorado when Aunty Julia gives me my tax back. In the test it says that this bar requires suspension mods. What mods? a simple torsion bar tweak? or something more.. In this case more info ...

ive just passed 2000k with mine and cant report any faults yet.. touch wood. I'm still getting around 480 ish from half a tank..

try replacing the switch.. mine in my 86 runner used to die every 6 months or so.. $7 rocker switch from jaycar fixed it every time

ive just pick my new rc colorado.. same engine as the dmax.. and i've gotten almost 400km on half a tank. half freeway half town driving.. and about 50% air con on/off.

ebay ebay ebay.. i got a set for my 2L for 40bux

i had a similar problem with my 86 4runner. problem was that when i did the wheel bearings i left the outer gasket off (the star kinda shaped one). so the hubs were disengaging but that few mm less clearance was causing them to stay on.. just.

Goes much further than that, Section 79 of Torums
That section covers the offences of drink driving and if you look it up you will see that it just mentions

Offence of driving etc. while under the influence
Any person who while under the influence of liquor or a
drug—

yer brake fluid is handy. Brake light is a level sensor in the resoviour, the handbrake has its own light "park brake".

i disconnected the park brake sensor because it kept coming on when the handbrake bounced when offroad.

"they do this out at willowbank/qld raceway after street meets and drift days.. Willowbank only has 1 way out, so they sit there pinging people for going and doing stuff legally.."
Not correct they are pinging people with unroadworthy cars

correct.. i've seen people get pinned for having bald ...

legally speaking.....

Park in question is in QLD.... I am in QLD.. Fitting tyres more than 15mm larger diameter than stock is a NO NO up here.

Back to TOPIC.... I have heard of Dept. Transport sitting out at Kilcoy or closer to LCMP waiting for modded vehicles but never seen it first hand.

theres a thread in the manifold under the alternator which is for the factory dash temp guage. Me personally on my commy, i have it in the top radiator hose.

i could definately notice a difference between repco ones and genuine ones.. the clamps with the repco ones were useless. repco $16, genuine $70

mines a 01/86 and it's IFS. i think the <86 were solid tho

mine is bouncy cuz of the torsion bars being wound up to match the rear. But as i said further up playing with tyre pressures remedied this.

i slapped a heap of ironman gear in my 86 ifs 4runner. torsion bars, rear leafs, shocks, steering damper etc. quite noticible going from saggy soft springs to new stiffer ones.

I found the ride a little bouncy at first, but playing with tyre pressures is slowly reducing the bounciness. so far i ...

cancer mostly around the front window/A pillar. Mine had some on the wheel arch which started cuz of the stupid chrome strips. Also around the windows of the canopy and under the canopy where it meets the body can be a cancer haven.

Check the canopy is sealed well at the front (b pillar).

Check ...

ive just noticed the same thing. while putting verything back together after replacing wheel bearings i noticed another split cv boot. this repco one lasted about 12 months. Last time it split i replaced both the inner and outer. inner was a repco one, outer from a cv joint (genuine supplier i think ...

i use rainex on both my cars, and on my 4runner i use the twin blade wipers.. works a treat

a lot of the rear leaf springs i've been pricing are sold as a 'rear end kit'. spring, bushes etc.

try the switch itself. i had the same problem in my 1st gen and it turned to be the rocker switch. $6 from jaycar, $120 from toyota.

Oil pressure feed line on my 2L has split near the banjo fitting. According to toyota they don't make spares anymore. Pirtek quoted me $70 to make a new one. They also said there was no fittings available with the same thread to ditch the banjos all together.

Surely theres enough 2L engines out ...

i only got em in december.. traction wise they seem pretty good, tad noisy being m/t.. Did an 800k trip in them last weekend and had no dramas.. for 160bux im more then happy with em

Ace Tyre & Auto at murrarrie.. i got my pedes from em before xmas. $160 for 31". They seemed to be one of the few places left i rang that could actually sell a set.

unless they pick up the defect on the new safety cert.. unless u get a dodgy of course. So to QLD transport if it passes a safety cert it *should* be safe..

i got my centipedes from ace tyres.. thats whos got the 33" bighorns for 230

u can get 33s for around $230 a corner if that helps

the Adventuro MT posted above look alright.. theres some on ebay for $193/tyre. i was looking at getting a set of these in 31"..

there is also a few places ...

poke around with a test light until you find one

hammer and screwdriver.. hammer the top in and the bottom will come out.. thats all i did for my 86 4runner

have you tried another set of glow plugs? i'd try rule the smaller possibilities out first..

In my commodore it seemed like i was losing spark at high rpm.. checked plugs, leads, coilpacks, injectors.. everything.. pondered for a bit and thought of the fuel filter, changed that and bam..

it can ...
