Outer Limits 4x4 Board

thanks zoltan, ive got a spare set of arms in the shed, may be worth swapping them over and see if there is a difference, its a quick test to do.

hey all, i have a 105 1hz turbo and it suffers from bad rear axle tramp on hill starts, ive checked all the rear bushes and they are ok, and the transfer pinion angle-tailshaft-rear pinion are pretty much in a straight line. it did it in standard form and is slightly worse with 2in lift and a bit ...

Hey mark, dont worry about the temp, its always sat on 220 and never missed a beat in 8 years that i owned it.

hey guys, thanx for the replys, i should have explained my situation better, i wish to put tanks more central in my car to spread the weight better as i have a ARB rear wheel carrier, blackwidow draws, cargo barrier, fridge, rooftop tent, etc. but also when we do some of the bigger trips i put a ...

hey all, i want to put a water tank or two in my cruiser and would like to see what others are using, ive been looking at 'THE LONGRANGER' 35L stainless tanks that go up under the sides but at $700 each, 'OUCH'.
Any ideas and pics would be great.

Thanxs Dan.

I was thinking of a 3 inch but so many people have said 2.5 inch works better, i want a bit of noise but mainly want to get the engine breathing better, did you guys notice any difference in the way your motor goes with a bigger exhaust?

hey guys,
just wondering what size and brand exhaust people are running, i was just thinking about running a straight thru 2.5 inch from dump pipe to back with no mufflers? Any suggestions would be great. (im only running 10psi boost).

cheers dan.

just thought id add some info on a diesel 100 series, mine is a 4.2 1hz with turbo, 2inch lift, 33muddies and setup with front and rear bars, draws, rooftop tent and all the goodies, (thanks to working in a 4x4 shop), im averaging 13.5L/100km and using the original tanks (145L) get 1000-1150kms.

hey guys, im looking for some alloy wheels (16x8) for my live axle 100series and would like to see what other people are running (brands and price) and pics would be nice.

hey all, my 1HZ 100 has a rattle from motor when cold, but it only takes about 2-3minutes of driving and the noise dissapears and never hear it again till the next cold start up, changed my oil and added a bottle of nulon deisel oil treatment and made no difference, does any one have any ideas or ...

and 10 months rego

hey rick, the 70 series bar mounts totally different to a surf, u need a hilux of 4runner bar.

oh well, i think i might as well put it up for sale, so if anyone is interested plz pm me.

Yeah ELMO, Im a mechanic and i manage a workshop who specialise in 4wds (ARB stockist) and we too have this problem with poeple who come in and tell us that they heard this and that about all these rules and regs, which funny enough have been in the grape vine for over ten years that ive been a ...

FULLY ENGINEERED, from headlights to tall lights.

yeah brighty, i was thinking of doing that, just wasnt sure what i should ask for it, it would be a shame to get rid of it its been a tough and reliable truck and has done some pretty big trips in the past, and i'll miss the heads that it turns.

its an 84 hilux dual cab with 73,000kms since ground up rebuild. fuel injected V8 commodore motor (motor was brand new at conversion) with pet/gas,rebuilt and toughened th700 auto, extractors and sports exhaust, 4in suspension lift, 2in body lift, 75 series front diff,cross-over steer,arb locker, 60 ...

yes. redarc start smart, about $160ish.

are you still using the factory auto hubs? they are known for causing probs like you have described.

hey everyone, just after your opinions on running the trepador radials? how have you found the to perform on and offroad, tyre wear life, etc?
im currently running 35' wrangler MTRs but they are just about stuffed.
Also what would be a reasonable cost to pay for 35/12.5/15 trepadors?

the cable MUST spool in the direction that is indicated by the sticker on the side of the drum housing and must pull in a straight line off the drum and thru the roller fairlead, so if u look thru the rollers when the winch is installed the cable should go straight to the drum. AND i install winches ...

just thought u might like to know what some modded electric winches are capable of, maybe 1MAD ENGINEER may also want to update hims info too. My mates winch challenge comp rig (a orange 40) is running twin 9.5hp 24v motors, twin gearboxes, modded drum, etc, would easily pull at least 42m/min under ...

hey muddylux where r u from?

hey gravel, is there a small blue wire with a clear cover coming off the solenoid?

Hey all,
has anyone fitted or seen a CAPA turbocharger kit fitted to a 4.8L petrol patrol?

Hey DIDZ, yeah mate i had these exact same tires on my V8 hilux, they were awsume for offroad traction, BUT, they suck so much more power and fuel out of ur car that it wasnt funny, i picked up about an extra 100km per tank when i went back to 35/12.5/15s. AND the cops hounded shit out of me all the ...

just looking at the pics u posted and noticed the angle of ur panhard rod and the steering arm, i bet the car wonders every bump u hit, am i right? the greater the angle from horizontal (the steering arm) the more bump steer u get, i found with my lux (4in lift springs and cross over steer) that ...

for starters LPG MUST be fitted by a qualified fitter, (not your backyard mechanic), its a bit more involved than just bolting on parts and turning the key, and the rebate does not apply to second hand conversions, why not just get it done properly as for a basic system on your lux the rebate would ...
