Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I have done a quick write up on another forum with some pics and yes you use the factory arms.

G'day Nic80. EFS don't make a long enough shock for a 5inch lift or above. The longest they sell is a 690mm front and 695mm rear. Your shocks would most probably be maxing out. My mate has a Dobinson 4inch lift and is running 750mm fronts and 770 rears. I have a 6inch Dobison lift and run 846mm ...

Unfortuantly, Longfield does not sell diff gears, they just offer cyro treatment to gears you send them.

Oh and forgot to mention that everyone said those solid spacers were a must!

I have to agree with most of what '1madengineer' said. I have owned my 80 series for 4 years now and within the first month of owing it I broke most of the teeth off the stock 4.11 front crown wheel and pinion gears. I took advantage of the bad situation back then by installing arb air lockers, 4.56 ...

1FZ-FE's defiantly run a timing chain and not a belt. I would be removing the rocker cover and having a look as you should be able to see what has happened. Very intertested to find out what has gone wrong, pictures are a must!

MAV_RIK, My old man has gone from a 1994 4.5L petrol manual 80 series to a 1999 4.5L petrol manual 100 series and then to a 2003 4.7L V8 petrol automatic 100 series. He has owned them all from new and has had them always serviced at toyota every 10,000kms. The fuel economy in the V8 Auto 100 series ...

I had the exact problem a few weeks after I fitted my 6inch dobinson coils, uncontrollable violent steering wheel death wobbles. A VERY LONG STORY SHORT, all i had to do was replace my tie rod ends and all was fixed.

I personally wouldn't worry about it but I would recommened getting your valve clearences checked and adjusted if you havn't already in the last 40,000kms or so.

8inch lift! Can't wait to see pictures!

With the shocks, whats the longest currently avaible? Iv got 29.5's pro comps for my 6inch lift. not to sure how much longer you can get.

Caster correction and drive line angles is going to be your biggest problem... Have fun and keep us informed.

G'day Guzzla My crawler gears from Marks 4WD Adaptors arrived today. Im already in the process of dismantling the transfer case as I started to fit their part time kit aswell last weekend. Now, I don't have any experiance with the insides of gearbox's, transfer case's, diff's, etc but being ...

Yep, still on the 33's. Iv been holding off buying my next set of tyres as the 33's still have some meat on them. In the mean time Im spending that money on stuff like this new clutch, part time kit, etc. Still waiting on crawler gears from Marks 4WD Adaptors, thought i would take full advantage ...

{Quote = DGS4WD Hey bluey, pulling the front driveshaft out and going for a drive was the first thing i tried. Make just about no difference. I even tried it the other way round (front in, rear out) with also little difference.}

Andrew, as stated earlier, rear unis are new and besides driving with the rear shaft out made no difference to the noise which i also stated earlier.

Cloughy, I think your getting confused. When fitting a part time kit you loose your ability to engage center diff lock by replacing it with another part... therefore also loosing the cause of the problem noise and gaining the ability of having 2WD. I have no need for center diff lock now having ...

Hey bluey, pulling the front driveshaft out and going for a drive was the first thing i tried. Make just about no difference. I even tried it the other way round (front in, rear out) with also little difference. Iv also spaced the gearbox/transfer case cross member down 10mm making the driveline ...

Iv got a good reason tho... Since my 6inch lift, im getting bad noises coming from my transfer case espically with CDL engaged which wern't there before. The cause is apprently a worn center diff so instead of replacing or rebuild the center diff, Im going to fit a part time kit instead. Im picking ...

So basically a GXL with all 3 lockers engaged is equal to a standard model with only the 2 lockers engaged?

Just wanting to know as I was getting confused as to if I fit a part time kit that I was "downgrading" its maxium capabilty.

As you most know, I own an 80series GXL (factory fitted with center diff lock) with front and rear ARB diff lockers. Im about to fit a part time kit but here's my question. Does the center diff when locked help you in any way while 4WDing with front and rear arb lockers in... Or is it just like ...

The air line inside the diff must be damaged. The air being pumped into the diff will now be filling the whole diff housing and escaping throught the weekest point... your breather.

Hey all, im hoping someone can help me with a problem my uncle has with his 1994 75 Series Troopy Carrier 4.5L Manual. His vehicle is currently engaged in 2WD and we cant select anything else, as in 4WD High, Nutral or 4WD Low. The transfer case lever is all loose/floppy. You can move it forward and ...

Hey, Iv got 4.56's and Im still running on 33's (waiting for them to run down in tread). It revs about 1000rpm harder than factory 4.11 diff ratio's and factory 31inch tyres so its nothing really to worry about but am looking forward to bigger tyres.

Yep, 99.9% sure it will be your TPS (throttle Positioing Sensor). You need to seal it up with a tube a silicon. Did you just give your engine a wash? Is your dual Fuel? I had this exact problem when I first got my 93 80Series. I would splash through some water and it suddenly wouldn't rev past ...

Regarding my 1993 80series GXL, Im wanting the factory front & rear diff lock instument claster dash lights to come on when I switch on my ARB front & rear diff lockers.
Has any one done this that could give me some hints on how I can achieve this. Thanks.

G'day sniper, if you don't plan for your 4WD to be a daily driver then spend the extra couple of dollars and buy the 6's, I just have.

Unfortunatly 'rezpkt' is a good friend of mine but don't listen to him... hes just jealous that he bought 4's and now i have 6's, makes his look stock.

What lift size did you put in?

I have just purchased 6inch Dobinson spings and will be fitting them this weekend... so ill more than likely have a few driveline issues to over come myself.

Excellent! Thankyou, exactly what i needed to know.

Am wanting to know if ALL 80series front and rear springs were the same from factory. Eg early model 80 series springs would fit is a later model 80series. Thanks.

guerd87, how much did those 5inch dobison springs cost you? Your convincing me to try new 5inch springs because my current 4inch springs that i bought the 4WD with are more like 3inch now and could do with a replacement. I already have longer shocks, adjustable f&r panhard rods, extended brake lines ...

Thanks guys, not wanting to change my diffs because have recently spent a bit of money rebuilding them both and putting in ratios and ARB lockers BUT and am liking the looks of the ones that RV80 sent me. Cheers.
