Outer Limits 4x4 Board

BTW you don't want to get rid of your stock rims with 31's do you?!

Top truck there, mate!!!

Now where did that money tree of mine disappear to

Picked up a new Triton last week Needs bigger tyres

cheers mate - that would be great if you are happy to do that - I sent ya a PM on the 4wdmonthly forum too, wasn't sure which forum you hang around the most!!

your LEDs look great fark the whole truck is awesome

any luck finding the power source for these lights, ray?

Cheers

Who was your supplier, Andrew? Was it just plugged in and off you go, or was their a dyno test involved just to check that all was OK?

Thanks for the feedback!

Cheers!

No prob, I would tell the potential buyer anyway as I don't believe in trying to hide problems. The only thing wrong apart from this solenoid(?) is the rear brakes shoes probably only have 10,000ks of life left

I'm sure whoever buys it will be happy even knowing this!!

nope, will be sold locally

Well the oils all check out OK, and were replaced with the correct grade at service time. Holden dealer tells me it could be a lazy solenoid on the electric front hubs (how can a solenoid be lazy, it either works or it doesn't !!!) Anyway, the Rodeo is being replaced next week with a new Triton so I ...

and old mother roothy loved it

love my old one, surprises many with it's lsd, about to buy new one

already ordered GLX-R being prepared as I type!!!

I'm a Coopers tyres fan too

Hi grimbo, it was basically the 4WD monthly article AND a similar test done by a farming mag that killed my interest in the Navara; without articles like these I could have made an expensive mistake - the Navara drives very nicely on bitumen roads when you test-drive a new one, but it certainly ...

I have driven them all and will be ordering a Triton GLX-R, although I was amazed by the Mazda BT50 which is something of a quiet achiever (albeit an ugly one). I drove and would have liked the Navara STX, but the reviews in 4WD Monthly and Kondinin Farming magazines scared me off - I just wasn't ...

PM sent to Dan

I'm interested in getting a Steinbauer power module for my new diesel dual-cab (Triton or Mazda) when I get it. Is anyone using one and care to comment on it, either positively or negatively I'd just like to know what you think.. Value for money etc.

Cheers!

hi mate, thanks for checking up - been under the whip a little at work so haven't had time to investigate it

cheers!

hmmm we've been in drought for a while, so I'd say around 5 years

but seriously I can't really put a time on it because whenever I have had to use 4WD in the last 2 years or so, it's been engaged at low speeds, or stopped (eg. boat ramp or pivot irrigator wheel-track )

yeah will do, but I still suspect it's somewhere in the mechanism that actuates the auto-locking hubs (vacuum?). Like maybe it isn't actuating early enough for 4WD to engage while on the move? dunno, I'm clutching at straws here

very small town, so yeah, but it's worth asking him what he put in I guess

gud tu cee

thanks for the help so far

just recently had all the oils changed and it made no difference

They might be truer words than you meant

PS: yew speld Triton wrongely in yur signeture

Normally I would back off the throttle and it would engage 4WD straight away. But now I have to slow lower than 10km and even then it doesn't engage smoothly

Less than 10km/hr - on this model Rodeo Shiftonthefly enables you to engage 4WD at speeds up to 100km/hr (not that I used to do this). Previously I was able to hold some gentle pressure on the lever and it would slip in even going as fast as 60-70km/hr. Now it won't. I can only describe it like ...

I have noticed lately I can't engage 4WD easily unless the vehicle is nearly stopped - seems like the auto-locking hubs aren't working properly. Once in 4WD, everything works normally. Tyre diameters front to rear would be about the same, so I'm guessing its somewhere in the actuation of the hubs ...

Your telepathic and clairvoyant powers are failing you

I've got an idea mate... buy my Rodeo

Hey Robbo, it sounds like it's the exact opposite to your old 'Cruiser!!

Maybe the engine has been installed upside-down

Hope that helps,
Holmesie

Drove a Navara ST-X today (thanks to Mik from another forum :cool: ). Very impressed with the torque, and the 6-speed manual gearbox works very well, although the throw seems V E R Y W I D E. Good looks, comfy seats, nice interior, deep useable trayspace with built-in tie-downs. I would be happy ...

I plan on test-driving the Triton, Navara and Rodeo - after various comments on this and other forums, reading the reviews and talking to owners I don't have much interest in the others for varying reasons
