Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi guys, I have recently bought a 40th anniversary 80 1HDFT with the viscous coupling, with fitting the switch will the centre diff lock engage in high range ?
I noticed when in low range the abs was disengaged, will this happen in high range with the switch activated ?
Cheers Rob

My TJ has High Pinion (a massive benefit for saving driveshaft damage and clearance) D44/D60 which are both way stronger than any Patrol diffs.. hmmm i wish i had spare coin layin arour for a 44/60 swap :bad-words: So is this true, is a stock D44 stronger than a Patrol front ? If so I would be more ...

Thanks GUtripper I didn't know that about the autos.
Will give Bill a call
Cheers Rob

Thanks for the reply jeepjk. The more I research the JK Wrangler, the more Questions I have ? I have been on the ausjeepoffroad website, and most of the guys on there love their jeeps, but I would also like an unbiased opinion. It appears that the Rubicon only comes in a petrol, and I've read very ...

Lol Simon, might have been their marketing that got me thinking mmmmmmm ............. don't hold back

thanks GUripper I'll have a look

Hi guys, I 've been looking at buying a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, and not knowing much about Jeeps, I thought I would ask owners instead of sales men what their thoughts are on these ? What is the fuel consumption on the 3.6 litre Pentastar like ? What size lift do I need to fit some bigger rubber, ie ...

Hey Oldmate did you fit a part time kit to your cruiser. I'm thinking of doing the same thing, after changing my drive flanges and cv's twice in the last 3 years now.

I ended up replacing the radiator and thermostat.
Its all sweet now

The old radiators tubes were blocked up a bit reducing the flow and not working efficiently.

I run 35 x 12.5 x 15 MTR's with a 2 inch lift and 30mm coil spacers and they only just touch on the rear, but on the front they rub when flexed up, and bind my steering.
I'm looking at putting in a 4 inch lift,and extended bump stops .

I'm having trouble with my 1HDT 80 series getting warm while freeway driving with the air cond on :?: . I had flushed the radiator put on new hoses and coolant, after finding a slight leak on a heater hose, then 2 months later on a trip it started playing up :? there is no sign of a head gasket ...

They weren't for a Cruiser, they were for an old holden, so the price would be different.
I was very happy with the price , quality of his product and his customer service.

give Rod a call at Maximun Performance Headers on (02)42717820

or 0413745661 or go to www.maxheaders.com.au

I bought a set from him for another project and his headers are one of the best quality Aussie made one around.

Newcastle Landrover Club

We will be there for our first Willowglen

I ran 5.29's in my Lux for a while.
They came out in Toyota Stouts, the gearing was great with 35's but the pinions are alot weaker than other hilux ratios.

Its better running 4.88's, they're heaps stronger.

Thanks to the Nissan Patrol club for another great weekend

I had some good runs and some not so good

and a few sherbets with the fellas

but in general I had a ball talking to other competitors and watching the action.

The minister for finance just approved a set of 30 splines for my lux after Sundays break
the money I have spent on cv's in the last 12 months I could have already paid for a set of these

How much stronger are they than the 27 spline

Are anyone breaking 30 spline aswell yet

cant say ive ever tried wrist restraints, what are they like, id imagine they would be a pain in the arse, how much movement do they allow, is their a max. ammount of length allowed for comps? i could imagine them getting tangled up around the wheel and the column. ive never ctually seen a set ...

:armsup: Less than a week to go now :armsup: :D looking forward to meeting like minded 4b nuts :drinking: and checking out their rigs :cool: Wendy are they still using the old format of one car off each team to each track, or are each team car going one after each other, together . I remember last ...

Getting close guys

so who's competing off Outers, in what rig and what class

I'm in open class in my Hilux

Miss Wendy,

are there many team positions left

did I post mine in time

cheers Rob

Our club will be there

no. you will find most standard cv's will have this.

Joel, Without a doubt this will be steering orientated rather than the tyres themselves and more likely caster than toe. Remember all the suspension mods that you have made will have affected caster and the hilux wasn't originally designed with bias tyres in mind. Take it to a truck aligners to get ...

The lux in question is mine, after reading the replies here and talking to a couple of people it very well could be the dampner and the wheel alignment (tie rod is slightly bent) ill recitfy these probs first and see if it makes a difference. I have standard shackles but with custom front leaves ...

I found my old Iroks to be better than my TSL SX's, but they do get better after a good warm up.

I wonder If it has anything to do with weight/width or bigger lugs.

NickR

nyet .... styrene is whats in resin as a monomer (carrier)

acetone is a solvent - cleaner.

I have a steering box, if you are interested pm me.

Rob

I wish I had noticed this earlier

are there gonna be anymore group buys.
