Outer Limits 4x4 Board

went and got one today, hope i got the right one, its not the shape i was expecting really..

okay cool thanks, cos ive also got oil coming out of somewhere on the lhf side, so far it sounds like good news, am i better off doing anyrthing else while its apart? bearings and stuff?

this might be a stupid question, but where do you buy the genuine seals from? and how do you know whether its just a seal or the whole swivel hub is leaking?

i dont know much about swivel hubs and front axle seals so can someone elaborate a bit more maybe? thanks

thanks a heap mate

thanks mate

oh, forgot to mention transfer case oil too. does it differ to gearbox oil?

is there a difference between front and rear diff oils?

just finished doing a massive search via google and gained further confusion.

and outerlimits wont let me search so you cant flame me for that.

thanks again..

hey guys, gunna do a bit of a service on the mav now that i have it.

just wondering what oils everyone uses, the turbo is running about 7psi if that makes any difference.

looking for advice on:

engine oil (engine has about 230 on it)
gearbox oil (5 spd manual)
front and rear diff (standard ...

Replace the radiator cap every 12 months with a genuine one.

how does this help? not doubting it but i havent heard anything about this method.

cheers.

The GQ overflow recovery system pumps coolant into the overflow tank as the engine is hot and if the radiator cap is faulty it will NOT suck ...

BP Ulltimate is my choice. car runs so much better.
just all round better, not chugging or spitting and carrying on.
i know im not technical but it makes a difference in buick 3.8's.

3.9

thats an awesome thread.. ill have to show my dad christmas day.

just remember it could be a tourer with genuine low km's or it coulda had a lift kit etc which has been removed, so it may have been used as a serious offroader aswell. but if the body is in immaculate condition then this might not be the case. just remember, you've got as much chance of buying a ...

one word.

hideous.

too clean, too chrome, and looks like a rollerskate sitting on 22's. hate it. although i do like the motor.

2" spring
2" body
33s for tyres

and your body lift has to be approved from DoT to be legal

i dont understand this, how is it possible to own a decently modified 4wd in QLD and drive it as a daily driver. i mean, 2 inch body, 2 inch spring lift with 33's would be a decent mod for a hilux maybe ...

as far as i know it is legal, as long as the exhaust is further back than the rear door. someone please correct me if i am wrong. lol

my dad used to have a woodgrain one in his old GQ. the ones you buy at autobarn etc. much better than a GQ steering wheel.

i dunno if this has anything to do with it, but our ford sedan's clutch was not installed properly and we had to do the same, go back through the gears to get it into first, only on occasions. how long have you had the car for? and do you know if the clutch has been replaced at any time?

ERPS systems dont just get used on vehicles. major companies have used them on steel frame houses/sheds etc that are close by sea water, aswell as on jettys and piers.

i'd like to know what size motor would actually fit in an L300. if anyone knows.. hehe

also put some dry ice into an empty coke bottle, and about 1/4er water, put the lid on and throw...

as chopper says...F*CKIN' BANG! :armsup: :armsup:

and i also wasnt aware that it can wreck your freezer...lol sorry.

EDIT: its probably also a good idea to get a facts sheet when you get your ...

ive been there with a mate. awesome fun. great river crossings and mud as said. and lots steep little play hills on the property being built too.. the wombat holes there make for some great articulation photos too... :D

if you are wanting to rent, try thrifty. they have locations in both hamilton and horsham, and am pretty sure they hire out 4wd's.

there is a list of locations there.[/b]

the dry ice will keep better in the freezer than it would at room temp (obviously)..but because the dry ice is frozen at -75 degrees and freezers are generaly around -4 degrees, it will still 'melt' a little. but being that it is kept in an isolated area it wont be so bad. freezer woud be the best ...

i think the VP and VN engines are the same, but the VN's engine wasn't fitted correctly, which they fixed in the VP. i cant wait for this build up, i'm a big sierra fan.. and adding a holden motor tops it off.. hope all goes well.

my dad used to own an L300, lifted (slightly) and mud tyres. said it was capable, and picking lines was super easy, but used to cack himself going downhill cos it felt like you were gunna topple over forwards. quite understandable really.

Otis is running a 3.8L Holden Commodore VP engine i'm pretty sure.

is it a 3.8L or the RB30 3.0L engine you are putting in Tiny?

if you are worried about your esky buggering up, you could always go the foam option, depending on how much it will get thrown around. im sure you would be able to get ahold of a big enough foam (polystyrene) box to fit a fair amount of food, just depending on how deep the foam boxes go as to ...
