Outer Limits 4x4 Board

yeah the 4.2 (1hz) came out late 1990, apparently the early ones had a few bugs, that were obviously fixed as its not uncommon to see 1hz's getting around with 500k plus. ive got a 2h and yes they are a little underpowered. mine was rebuilt 100k ago, i got 2.5inch exhaust extractors, hiclone k&n...

yes, there are a few blokes on here who are running 36" pedes.
id say 2 inch suspension, 2 inch body lift should clear 35's. might have a little bit of scrubbing. ive never done it personally but there are a heap of people who have done and are happy with it. try a search for more info.

im running 12 volt. im thinking it could be a bad earth or something, ill have to check it out soon. from my interpretation of the wiring diaram, on two solenoids are uesd for foward and the other 2 for reverse, is this correct? so ive replaced the 2 forward ones and yeah sometime it wont sppol in b...

thanks mate, i might just not be a tight arse and swap all of em, there about 15 years old. i was mucking around with it today and it wouldn't spool out on occasions too so yeah probly do em all. thanks again.

cheers

basically i want to know if warn winch solenoids have thermal overloads as sometimes when winching in and i stop, and want to go in again all i get is a click. i wait a few minutes and it goes again. i have recently replaced the two "spool in" solenoids as one shit itself the other day. is...

i had the same problem as you mate. a mate told me it was easy to rebuild my box, and it doesn't look that hard, until you pull the main shaft out and all the bearings fall out, and then the 2 main nylons get munched by the thread. im no mechanic im a sparky, but even talking to a few mechanics i ha...

Did a search all i can find is info for hiluxes and zooks. basically i want to know is if i run longer front leaves like 100mm, can i run standard length shackles in their standard location??? and if yes would there be that much benifit if any?? im thinking that in doing so it will allow my shackles...

thanks lay80n, thats what i thought. will ruf effect castor etc?? i guess it depends how they are set, ie curve of them? anything else to look out for when doing ruf???

cheers

so the point of RUF is to put your shackles on an angle therefore allowing greater droop. i have a 75 series and my shackles are straight up and down due to 2 inch lift. RUF and new longer rears will give me same height yet more angle on shackles, is this correct??

take your shocks out then flex up your truck and measure the distance.

dont mean to hijack but would a top mount be very effective, with a bonnet scoop. obviously not as good as a front mount but would it still make a descent difference. i'd just be worried about front mound as it may make it more prone to damage, in saying that almost every turbo truck at obc has fron...

personally i'd go the deisel. not only personal preferance but the v6 is thirsty. i think you would be lucky to get 13l for 100k realistically. the petrol's are not that much faster, with the diesiels having ample power to tow, and pretty much anything else you can think of whilst using a lot less f...

not 100% sure but last time i checked no one made 15s for 78/79. although this was a while back. also this might be due to clearance of brake rotor/caliper, although dont hold me to that. as for clearance, im no expert but i'd say just a decent lift should allow enough room, like 3 to 4 inch suspens...

i had a similar problem with my ute, had 2 wheel aligns from different mobs, and still had shake/wobble at 80kms. took it to a truck wheel alignment bloke, he spun them up on his machine and found that tyres were out of round, there were getting on a bit anyway. (BFG AT's) so got some new muds and t...

could possibly just be the regulator. not sure if 40's have a built in one or not. also could be your poles have lost their magnatism. it ends up being less stuffing around if you just take it to an auto sparky. save time and inevitably money.

found these greaseable shackles on ebay they seem to be alright, anyone had any experience with em, $265 is alot better the $400 that TJM quoted me. also gonna run snake racing rubber bushes, rubber is better then neoprene right??? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Landcruiser-60-75-Greasable-Anti-Inversion-Sh...

spoke to a few more people about it, and i think it will be worth it. plans are 1 inch body lift, move front diff 15 - 25mm. that should do, cutting guards is last option. i run sunrasiers they are the widest offset you can get without going custom. currently have 33 X 10.5 bfg muds, looking at goin...

i have a 75 series, Just wondering is 1 inch body lift worth it as i have been told that 1 inch body lift requires nothing to be changed ie fan shroud/radiator, transfer gear stick etc. is this true? just after a bit more clearence but didnt really wanna go 2 inch due to the mucking around. any inpu...

have a search on ebay under toyota grill, i saw some on there new for i think about $150. they got black or chrome and will fit yours. as you probly know anything up to a 99 will fit. also the 4X4 wreckers on hartley st in cairns has em but ebay is cheaper.

Until you forget to flick the switch - then things can go VERY wrong.

very good point... note to self, remember to flick switch.

depending on how you want to use it. if you want something simple yet effective, like the boat swith would offer, why not use a solenoid. probly as cheap as a boat switch to buy but probly a little harder to wire. an easy way to set it up would be wire the to batteries together in parallel, (ie posi...

not the best looking truck out there, but the way toyota is going it's no suprise. (ie new hilux) atleast they retained live front axle, heard it was gonna be ifs. nearly enough to turn you to nissan

yeah i think i might hold on to the 2h, im not going for heaps of power all i want is something that will sit on a 110 comfortably without dropping back to 70 on a hill. and in the future turn 35's with relative ease although diff gears will probly be changed also. so would it be safe to say that wi...

gday all, i need some guidance and as im sure alot of you may have been in a similar position before and will be able to help. i have a 85 cruiser ute, running a 2h which has been rebuilt about 50K ago and i was looking at a turbo or supercharger for it. question is, is it worth spending all the mon...
