Outer Limits 4x4 Board

if its spitting out the overflow it just means that the coolant is boiling. not specific to a thermostat. it just means SOMETHING in your cooling system is not doing its job properly.

no clues on not starting properly

yea let me know if you want a hand to wire it up, i have a 17 yr old brother who would love to show you how its done. btw, his dad has a mercedes, are you impressed?

i f'en love how they've done this into a ute.
IMO if cuiser wagons are going to be cut into a ute, it needs to be styleside otherwise it just looks alittle out of proportion.

285/75 16r is approx 32.8 x 11

food for thought

just dont say we didn't try and stop you

im not saying that they are the same at all.

you skew what im saying to dismiss my opinion but then excuse the same principles (being the fact that a lux drivetrain will destroy the lightweightness of your car) to to back yourself up.

sounds like you're only going to hear what you want to hear.

i ...

with all that lux stuff you wouldn't have the lightweightness of a zook at all

just be warned. theres .'n awesome fishing

^^^^dear god that is scary.

treps FTW
dont come in 33 tho.
dont know much about trols but couldn't you just extend ur bumpstops so that the 35s come too far up into your gaurd?

u dont need big mates to pull the block out.

he has a zook for play.

road tyres go sweet on the beach if thats all the offroading you're doing.

i got the buy 3 get 1 free deal on 33 x 12.5 MTRs just before christmas
this was from the goodyear on the nicklin way, sunny coast.
i had to get them ordered in.
p.s they've had a set of 37s instock for AGES, i bet they'd still be there

how can you say that coils will make his car bad to drive on the road? the springs will make it better to drive on and offroad. but in saying that i wouldn't spend that sort of money on an 84 lux.

ive got 2inch springs and moved my diff forward 35mm and it rubs a little on full flex and full steering lock. 33 x12.5inch width. 10.5s wouldn't rub at all.

i know of a 93 single cab on 33s for sale, only want $9500. 2.8 diesel with 164xxx ks. 2inch lift, front diff moved forward (reversable), rwc, a/c, ,p/s, remote central with alarm and immobiliser.
pm if interested

x2 i am so over going slow

mates N/A diesel patrol on 31s easily holds 130 on the highway and still has more if he needs it. my 2.8 only got to 130 down steep hills with my foot to the floor.

if i was in your position, id go the patrol (actually, id buy an 80 series) over the hilux.

hiluxs arn't made for touring.

i drove 8 hours straight in my 93 2.8 hilux at christmas last year and near the end of it the transfer case was heating the cab faster than the aircon could cool it down.

id go a newer 3ltr TD but goodluck getting one for under 20g so you'll have to buy a N/A one ...

speedo - i think you can buy something from snake racing to correct it.

easyier way would be to pay to have a 50mm spring lift put in. easier, but a hellava lot more expensive

try this - http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/ftopic152894.php

it helps if you have the right offset and your tyre isn't too wide.

cheers for the heads up.

got my centre bolts from pedders, had to take an old one in as an example so they could match it. cost of new bolts - free

got the ubolts from TJM, they were half the price of pedders (15 each) , made from forged steel and about 10mm longer than what pedders could find me.

thanks for the quick replies.

hey all, im adding a couple of (very very short) leaves to the pack of the back of my hilux to bump up the height to match the front.

what im wanting to know is where i can get a longer centre bolt for the leaf packs.

btw, am i gonna run into any dramas with the handbrake or anything doing this ...

I really cant see the need to move your diff forward to run 33's though.. i only needed to move mine for the 34's cuz they are a big tire, but i ran 33's and didnt need it...

i needed to do it to fit 33s. i have 2inchs of spring lift. dont buy a few sizes thats a waste of money. just buy the 15mm ...

Have been thinking of doin this aswell.

How far forward did you move the axle?
Where abouts did you get your shortened/adjustable draglink from and how much?

Thanks, dan

moved it 35mm. - one of the perches is already has a hole in the right spot. all you have to do is widen it.

bought the adj ...

mike vine does quality work

you should never compromise your starting battery by using it for aux purposes

Yep so easy to discharge it and it won't turn the starter motor.

Also a pain in the ass when you want to have a fridge running and you only have the 1 battery, do you take the risk or rather know you'll be able to ...
