Outer Limits 4x4 Board

there is lots of information on what you are asking and a search will provide you with your answers. I just did a search on the term toy conversion and came up with 58 pages of results. Here are a couple of relevant ones that you may find enlightening. http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/viewtopic.php?f=6 ...

A 4WD club I used to be a member of & cant wait to join again really needs you to have the BIG rubber as almost every1 is running 37's & over my old ride I used 36" Simex centrepedes & I was the smallest on most trips. The size of your weener is not measured by the size of your tyres. Just remember ...

anything is possible, it just depends on how much money you want to spend. IMHO you dont need 37's on a rover and 35's will do you fine unless you want to do something like tt. To run 35's factor in diff ratio changes, bigger axles, stronger diff centres and stronger CV's. Put all that together and ...

Have you tried AMV in Ringwood?

you might do better asking this question on aulro

How often do you have to top up your radiator?

The frequency will tell you how much of a problem you have

so how many km's is too many. I know it is like asking how long is a piece of string (but there is an answer) I've seen a couple of well kitted 100's but they have 230 - 250,000 km. There are others around with about 150,000 km and even one or two down at the 100,000 mark. So adding up the cost of F ...

Have recently sold my rover and was looking at replacing it with a cruiser and in particular the hdj100r. I have noticed however that I can get a VDJ200R with the same or less k's for about the same price (and in some cases cheaper) than the 100 series. So is the 100 that much better than the 200 or ...

yep. early D1's had 10 spline axles. From mid 94 the upgraded to 24 spline. A slightly stronger axle but not enough to cope with 35's. The diffs are 2 pinion with 3.54 ratio's in both.

If your going to run 35's dump the diffs and axles.

they get a bit of rust around the alpine windows but as said it is the same as a range rover. Back lash wasn't a real big issue for them. That was more common with the lt95 gearbox in the old range rovers.

how does LED compare to HID?

Kermit was originally an old 2 door rangie - I think a 79 model and was dark green. It was reincarnated as a ute using my old 82 4 door rr when it also changed to a much lighter green. After it's first event in one of Metcalf's comp's in qld the ute body was dumped in favour of a tray. Eventually it ...

that doesn't sound good Nat. Have you busted the disco diffs?

as swamp said.

A new indicator switch should fix the issue if the old one can't be repaired.

from memory also if you decide to put the indicator stalk on the wrong side of the steering column (in this case being the right hand side of the steering column) then the cancel mechanisim wont work also

There is a bloke on ebay sex god steve who parts out series 1 discovery's. 0412 075 002. last time I was there he had about 12 of them. located in franga.
I paid $50 for a leather front seat including base.
His prices are higher than spovers great offer though.

Ye i know what you mean t robbo i was thinking of doing what you said you reckon the best way to get tension would be turn shackles? Thanks Adam sounds like a good solution. you will probably need to play with tension as if the cables are too tight I expect the will snap and if too loose wont ...

well done Adam.

The only thing I would say is that it looks like the bar work over the roof lights may well catch lots of tree branches.

Have seen in the uk mags the guys run thin wire cables up to their roof racks to help clear overhanging bushes.

if you want cheap i suggest you rebuild your engine with a aftermarket cam and maybe some porting this will both increase power and effiency. i would steer away from the 304 only because it is cast iorn and would ingrease the weight over your steering axle. i'm troying with the idea of the 4.6 into ...

budget rules out engine conversion as they always cost $$$. rebuilding with a 4.6 block isn't cheap either but everything will bolt straight up and look standard to mr plod. The 4.6's have been known to slip liners so you have to make sure your cooling system is top notch. More HP and torque ...

To remove a tyre from a rim you have to push the tyre sidewall in towards the centre. To mount a tyre to a rim the tyre sidewalls have to push out to create a seal. The wider the rim the further out the tyre sidewalls are pushed before they make contact with the rim and create a seal. Conversly the ...

My concern with an exo cage for events like ateco is the very high possibility of a tree branch getting wedged between the cage and the body which resultant consequences as the tree acts like a lever. In the open air not a problem but tight bush work will create problems and most vic events use this ...

Well done Gouldy.
I know how much work goes into making these events happen and getting big sponsorship $$$ is never easy.

Oh wait a minute, I thought Rowen was talking VW tdi turbos, not TSI. Yes the 2 litre VW turbos will work on a 1HD-T, but they're smaller than most other 2 litre petrol turbos. Borg-Warner/KKK/Schwitzer make them. Based on the topic heading he is talking about the 2.0 ltr tdi engine. Having owned a ...

I'm looking for a uhf antenna to fit to my d3 and was considering a glass mount antenna. Has anyone had any experience with these and how well do they work?

a body lift would probably help with fitting eveything under the hood. You can fit a SB chev with HEI dizzy with 40 mm body lift.

inside the tyre is also a great place for stashing booze on your way into music festivals

A narrow rim will help reduce the incidence of popping beads at low pressures.

I ran 34 x 10.5 JT2 on 7 inch rims and had no problem with beads breaking even at 8 psi.

So if they fit I would put them on an 8 inch rim.
