Outer Limits 4x4 Board

The rover cages (and some nissan ute cab cages) 've seen have the A pillar hoop inside the cab, with the main bars beside your head exiting the cab joining to an external B pillar hoop. This was a while ago, the CCDA rules are fairly clear. It would be worthwhile sketching it up and speaking to them ...

I saw this on the weekend as well.

Pulled the pinion flange out, without un-doing the nut from the tailshaft.

The one i saw was nroken in easy conditions, most likely fractured before as per slunnies post.

So put in one of many after market ball joints with more travel and reinforce the mount???

Do it.

So many reasons why.

Having used the cubelock, I wouldn't use it again.

I would use steel & ply for draws.

The cubelock flexes and creaks even when well braced.

4"

Greg,

Whats the diameter of that airbox??

Need a new one, and this would suit but it may be too big.

Cheers
Dave

$24 per 6.5m length from capral.
Joiners are about $1.50

Bunnings sell the stuff, but at about $18 per 2m

I've just made some this weekend.

Cheers

These ones are around 75-80mm wide so im told im keen also for a set of these also time to dig and get some more specs me thinks http://www.paddockspares.com/pp/RANGE_ROVER_to_1985/Accessories/Flexible_Extended_Arches_for_Disco_1_5dr_and_RR_Classic_5dr_-_set_of_4.html Has any one fitted these ...

If you want to comp it, cutting a few holes in the rear of the roof will be the least of your worries.

Cheers
Dave.

A mate mine runs one in a S3 truck cab (Very similar dash layout) He has had to do lots of dash work to get the a-pillars right. His set up is basically external 4pt + a pillar bars which come in through the roof. Its to tight to get a internal 4pt, hence the external + internal a pillar bars.. Make ...

The snorkel itself is the same but the airbox connection will be different.

I've just started this conversion. I'm using adjustable rear control arms to ensure that the GQ pinion flange is parallel to the TC output flange at ride height to reduce / remove vibrations. I'm also using GQ tail shafts, as the uni's are also bigger to combat this issue. For what I paid for both ...

Hi, a GQ axle in the back is always a problem because the drive shaft. But anyway i am speak about the clearance under the front diff ( ~1.3" lower than RR front diff). Greetings Chris No worries. I'm not sure where you got the 1.3'' from but anyway. I'm dubious on others conversions as they CAN be ...

2) No. 4.10 to 4.11 is 0.0024% difference (ie negligible) Surprisingly, not as negligible as you might think: http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/phpBB2/ftopic130440-0-0-asc-.php There you go - interesting that there others running 4.1 to 4.11 without the same complaint though. As is a comp car, I'd run ...

Hi, 1)the diff of the GQ is so big that you need 3" bigger tyres to get the same clearance under the diff. 2)And to get the same ratio nissan/toyota you need a diff centre from the 75 series in the back. 3)Stay on the maxis or do a toy conversion. Greetings Chris 1)No. You loose 10mm under the diff ...

I ran 14 usually with internal beadlocks then lower if required.

Just be careful with them on 8'' rims. They would suit 7'' or even 6.5''.

Groove the centre lug too.

Cheers
Dave.

15's or 16'?

Sams done well with your old ute.

Looks nice at the moment, just needs bigger tyres.

Dave.

Please Do.

Are you using the GQ rear diff as well?

Cheers
Dave

this thread wasnt a Engel Vs Waeco debut i have a Waeco 40L fridge & its not suitable for my needs so now i wanted an Engel end of story thanks to the guys for there helpfull information but i have now purchased what i needed & yes its an Engel regards rod If you buy a cover make sure it is an ...

Trust me - Rays can get whatever you want out of Engel. Don't take no for an answer - it is just a 'special' customer order. Engel are great to deal with - I wouldn't be blaming them. It is the retailer's problem from what you have described. Cheers Dave. (Who is an Ex Rays employee :oops: :oops: )

I know of one in Vic.

PM me if interested and I can chase it up - No sure on $$$ or postage but could be worth a try.

Cheers
Dave.

New Bar Treads

I'd be interested for sure.

Dave.

G'day guys. Still haven't fitted them yet :oops: Gone back to full time uni so it has taken precedence over most things whilst trying to earn a $. Finish this week, will be on the truck within the next month for sure now I have some time. Who's interested in them??? I can organise another buy if ...

255/85/16 as said.

I think BRT has Compasses. I have a set of compass 2000 on my front bar that are getting a HID kit soon. Really easy to convert as the have a seal back which is bolted on. Metal case, and reasonably priced - not the same light through out standard as other makes but with a HID kit they are great. A ...

RangeRov in Mitcham CAN get the spacers. Triumph rover spares in Adelaide sell a complete kit on their website for about $450. I just ordered Defender Calipers (Bigger pistons-46mm)from Paddocks in the UK at 60pound each, so with some other gear they are on their way to my door at bong on $500. Ends ...
