Outer Limits 4x4 Board

When at the Cape a few years ago 2 Trackmaster made it to the top without any problems. During a Simpson crossing saw a Jayco suspension fall apart, leak dust badly every day. Wouldn't touch one of there on or off road vans. If going for that length of time and funds are not too much of an issue ...

The good ones are good (Kimberley, Track etc) but be careful of the ones that advertised themselves as offroad trailers when they are nothing more than a standard trailer with a set of sunraysia wheels. not talking about trailers mate. talking caravans here. i understand the good trailers will be ...

i am doing a top end trip from cairns to broome later this year with a mate who has a couple of young kids (3 and 1). we have debated over the best way to go. i am using a swag but as he has the family he wants to tow a carravan. We want to venture up the cape, arnhem land and kimberleys. Because he ...

luke

What you are saying makes alot of sense.

i have a cage question for those ppl in the know. I have heard that the CAMS and CCDA cages are different and each wont accept the other. i saw also that a couple of guys (sandy bowman may have been one) did the condo 750 this year. so am i hearing wrong or has CCDA allowed aproved CAMS cages?? It ...

am doing a top end trip in a couple of months, and i am after some recommendations for a light truck tyre to fit onto the rim. i have never ran them before so have no experience. really looking for some thing that has some aggresion. not after a road tyre as i will be off the tarmac alot of the time ...

got a problem with 98 tj jeep.

the idle is running @ around 1200-1400 rpm, this is obviously high.

i am a diesel mech, but don't know alot about efi petrol systems. i was thinking maybe the TPS sensor. any oner ideas???

luke

fantatastic idea. i for one would build a truck to these rules and race with mates.

what about shorty 40's on coils???

wondered if any1 could tell me where i could get a set of lifters for a TJ wrangler. tried poly 4x4, repco, bursons.

thanks in advance.

since outback was won by a toyota chassis with a suzuki body.

that was kinda my thinkin but without getting into the "obc 07" discussion.

i guess it will be easier just to use th patrol body. then i comply.

yeah that is what i was thinkin. but had thought it had been done before.

so to get coils i can use a latter model landcrusier chassis #80 or #100 because it remains a toyota landcrusier just different models.

i know it may sound like a stupid question.

challenge class rules 4.5.14 body The body of the make of the vehicle shall be readily recognised and shall be the same manuafcturer as the chassis. the combination of body and chassis may be updated with body and chassis elements from later models of the same make of vehicle. taken from revision 7 ...

done two tyres.

uniroyal muddy - tanami track -> not really sure, thinking a rock tore the side out of it

cooper st - darwin -> caught the side wall on a sharp large log end during a river crossing punctured a fair hole through the carcass

sierrajim, do you understand the rules for full hydro on a promod??? from my understanding you still need links to steering wheel - because you need to be able to turn the wheels with the ram disconnected. is this right??

luke

yep its for a rock crwling buggy - no driving home, only trailer. the reason i carn't go two airlockers is really just funds. so i was curious witch diff would be better to be selectable. not worried about cutting brakes either (at the moment) Thats what we have, with disconnect of course. with ...

thanks for all the replies, but for the price am just geeting tojo 60 seris diffd with longfields.

these are for a buggy (promod) can get either 5 stud or 8 stud - 8 stud supoosedly stronger. don't know much about them, but alot of aftermaket ratio's and chromo gear for them avaliable from the states.

what do ya think??

luke

in a buggy is it better to have a manual locker in both diffs, or just one either front or back and a cig/detroit in the other??? if usingonly on air locker is t better in the front or back?? also does the hood for pro-mod have to be from a 4wd drive?? reading the WErock book it dosen't say it has ...

is there any difference between the strength of the gq tans and the gu????

thanks
luke

thanks tiny, exactly what i was looking for. guess i shoulda just done a search.

any1 know how to plumb up the rear locker so it is activated by air not vacumn.

thanks
luke

gotcha that makes more sense then. :oops: i was just assuming that the seppo's referred to axle wheelbase as width. really feel like a d[ck. was wondering why you couldn't change the axle width. while i have every1 attention is there a efi 4cyl out there with a good auto that runs rear wheel drive ...

ARRHHHH you better believe it. And thats what we will be running in our pro mod class buggy gu rear with portals and gq front with portals. now we just have to fab them to fit. in the pro-mod on the WE ROCK site it states; limit the use of axles to any production OEM axle 5.1.1 - military style ...

can any1 confirm that oz rock uses we rock rules???

maybe cheezy could chime in??

thanks luke

it would be pro-mdified for WE-Rock and modified for OZ-rock. The two seater, no portals full body job. i got confused when people started saying they could run portals. the OZ-rock rules in front of me state NO MILITARY STYLE DROP /PORTALS for modified class. could not access we-rock rule book so ...

thanks for that chris. i got over-excited with the modified/pro-modified thing and led every1 down the wrong path. i have a couple of zook transfers i wanted to use but wasn't sure on their strength, i got the download vid from somewhere (double low films) with your buggy in it. was wondering what ...

got confused with the orginal post. will be running in modified class. so no portals for me.

on the #75 the rear is a full floater, is this the same for the #60???

if i can get the 60 in full floaterr i think i will opt for them.

the main reason i was thinking mq was because i seen cheezy put them in that moon buggy (rodent???) build up[ he did in dirt/comp.

thanks luke
