Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I just did my clutch in an 88 hilux and having done many clutches in the past, and never in a workshop, I thought this would be an easy task. ( at a mates workshop with full use of hoists tools lifts etc ) If someone can do it for a few hundred dollars for god sake let them do it ! I am glad I did i...

Don't you just love cars

It is a good feeling but when you get it all right. Good luck son !

Where can I buy a lock rite locker for my 88 hilux ? For a good price I mean. locktup4x4 gave me a good price, and I will get one from someone, I just thought I should shop around a bit. His price was $395 to my door. 10 working days for delivery. So if yas know any Aussie sites, or places in Aus I ...

Paul Smith cheers heaps. Email sent.

thanks guys. I will check out them sites when I get home from work. big lux I will be installing it myself yes. Is it better to buy from the states at the moment ?

Cheers, Turbz.

Cheers for the replies so far. I mainly use it for camping and road etc. I run 33's maxxis muddy things. But I do a bit of 4wd still, though I am very light on the pedal and look after my 88 lux as good as I can. Are lockers cheaper from the states and if so what is a good option and what sites can ...

Sorry I know this topic has been smashed, but each post I have read turns out to be a slug fest between people on manual vers air and lokka vers ARB etc.. So please keep this simple. I don't want to spend much money on my 88 2.4d hilux. But I want to actually get somewhere when I three wheel. What s...

I had to put mine in the tray. Damn filter is huge!

If you wanted to have a smallish one under the bonnet I'd say it wouldn't be too hard. But to fit a full size you would need to move some stuff around.

Check all bolts, wheelnuts first. Could possibly your uni joints but. Check the angle they are on. I'd say your rear uni's are now on a big angle due to the 2 inch lift. I know 2 inches aint huge, but it was enough to knock mine over the edge and start shuddering.

Good luck bro.

I drove 400k's on my front dif only. Bent up my rear shaft so bad I had to take it off just to move the car. Decided to drive it home on the front. Only damage ( that I know of ) was that the power steering box now leaks. Just got hot that's all. So I am assuming, as long as your front dif isn't loc...

Ask waeco. Doesn't matter is bought second hand even. They will surely help you. Good luck yo !

Yer I haven't really pushed it like that. I have driven on a flat and dropped it with a little extra revs and it grabbed fine. I am pedantic ( spelling? ) with my car so I don't wanna go away with an injured car. I will try the hill option next time I am on one. Thanks.

I have an 88 dual cab lux with a 2.4 diesel. Lately I have been noticing that when I let the clutch out fast I get this little screech sound. I am concerned that it maybe the clutch on it's way out. I am off to cruiser park with my 2yr old son in a months time and don't want it fail on me. Anyone kn...

Any other info ? Do you have a second battery ? If so is it in the front or rear ? If you don't have a dual battery ( deep cycle ) that 3 way fridge isn't designed especially for 12v so it will run your main battery down in like an hour possibly. ( my old mans chescold did. ) So you just running off...

Test it for sure using test light or multimeter. Then you can rule out fuses wires etc. Check earth maybe. Pull the unit out and wire the earth and power directly to the battery. If it doesn't come on it has a problem. If it is new return it.

How do you know what size your standard light is ?.. i..e 31mm etc

where can you buy narva products etc ?.. do they have shops at all ? Or can you buy it all online via the narva website ?

Cheers bro. I will fit this 20amp breaker tmr. As you said, if it trips I can just reset it and buy a bigger one. This one only cost me $6 from jaycar.

Interesting. My aux battery is a 75 amp hr. Total amps going to be used from that aux bat is no more than 15amps/hr ( that is including an initial 5-10amp spike from the fridge starting up, and 2 spotties that get turned on every now and then. ) As long as the 20amp breaker can handle the charging s...

Sorry if this has been covered but I want to know asap. The jaycar guy just sold me a 20amp circuit breaker for my dual battery setup. My maximum draw should only be around 15amps ( with a couple of lights and a fridge ). I was about to put this between the isolator and the aux battery, but I see th...

hahaha... poor guy.. this post hasn't helped him i'm sure of it ! Everyone is taking turns which brand they prefer :P Well I bought some ziel? lights.. they are cheap, like $50 each for an ok looking spotty with 100 globes, and they are much better than standard !.. but I wish I had spent more and g...

Yer I think I might go to jaycar and check out some stuff. I am so slow with electrical work. Dunno why but it takes me ages ! I love my work but. I'd rather be slow and do an awesome job, then quick and rough.

I should leave my cc home if I go to jaycar looks like they got some stuff !

I just searched for this topic and found some info. ( I always get excited and post before I search ) Bus bar is what I meant. Should I run thick arse cable to a bus bar, them from the bus bar to the blade type fuse box, then to ciggy plugs and lights ? My 32L engel has a 10amp fuse. Should I run th...

I have just installed a 2nd battery in the rear of my hilux. I have some ciggy plugs in the rear now also. Should I fuse the ciggy plugs ? Should I fuse everything ? If I do fuse them, should I run a wire for each plug to the fuse box, or use one of them bars ( I forget the name ) with the screws in...

whoa this is getting too heavy for me.. BRB BEER!

I also run a 32litre engel. But to update things, I emailed Matson about it and they swiftly replied with a nice understanding email. They said " Your alternator will have no problem keeping up with your 2 batteries, it should put out around 14V- 14.4V. It’s also a good idea to give the auxil...

I just installed a dual battery setup in my hilux. The aux battery is in the tray at the back. My question is,... 1. Do I need to install a circuit breaker/fuse to the battery ? 2. If so, do I need to install one for each battery, and how big should they be ? 3. What about fuses for other 12v applia...

I thought there may have been a circlip or something holding the fan onto the shaft. But even if you got the actual fan off, not sure if you could grease the bearing or not. Try spraying the bearing assembly with wd40, see if it makes a difference. wd40 is thinner than lanotec etc so try it first. I...

ooh.. nice work. I LIKE IT I LIKE IT!

Is there an equation to work out what sized wire you require ?
