Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Not if you know what you are doing and how to do it. The ducting through the cab is 32% larger in surface area than 4" pipe in the engine bay. This allows for possible restriction in distance between the inlet and air cleaner and the bends in the ducting. On paper this is more than enough. If ...

Tell me how the @#%$ twin snorkels would have prevented this situation?

Thanks Luke.

As I stated I am very sorry for the inconvenience caused and if I could get around it I would. I realise this has stuffed a lot of people around and it was never my intention to do so. My only other option is to postpone round three untill further notice or cancel round three ...

As promoter of the ASCC in Townsville I would officially like to advise all that due to a conflicting date with another major event in Townsville (2-3 October), round 3 of the ASCC has been moved to 9th and 10th of October.

Unlike LMP, there is a considerable cost to hold this event in ...

Sorry to hear about the g-box Singo! Sounds like Mechanic failure not mechanical. Have you got it back yet?

GREAT NEWS especially the roof mounted spots!!!!
Thanks for the info Locky. Do you know if or when these specs are going to be published by the promoters?

Forgot to add also that harnesses will be required for next year. They will decide at the meeting whether they will be 5 point or 4 point!!

Shane you will have to get rid of the swampers now and run 30" A/T's!

Thanks also for the axle mate!!!

I spoke to Sharon Vanderhorst about this today and this is what she said;

"The cheif scrutineer for the event has been working with the competition since the beginning and as he is the man who is ultimately responsible for the scrutineering of the vehicles, he wants the vehicles to comply more in ...

The boxes made by Gough Plastics are well made and very good quality. I have been fitting these to mine vehicles for a few years now and they also make all of our bonnet's, door skins and mudguards for our vehicles. They have also done a bit of plastic fabrication work for us in the past but that ...

Yeah I thought that when I turned it around. Problem is you can only turn it 90* then it hits the door. I have never turned it around before and never worried about it. I run a Donaldson air cleaner and when I checked it it was bone dry!

Funny Shiat!

I know what you mean about trying to stay on the track Kev. Driving the big wagon in the mud run was like trying to drive a tank around a go cart track!

For anyones interest, I ran 35" pedes under my GU wagon on the weekend with 4" suspension lift, johnny joints in the rear control arms and front and rear sway bars off. Went really well. No scrubbing on the front through travel and only the normal touching of the rear tubs under full flex. Tyres ...

Yeah it was tricky trying to accelerate and use the clutch with the crutches as well as steer!

Arms up Mike and Gordo!!! You guys put in a lot of effort and we had a top time. Thank you! What a laugh watching John sing and dance around the fire on Saturday night. Never seen a hilux get so ...

Team Kowari will be there!!!!!!
BRING IT ONN!!!!!
Can't wait. Will be a top weekend. Mud or no Mud!

Matt.

i'm thinking about getting 33" super swamper tsl's for my nissan patrol, is there any problems that might happen in doing this?

The major problem I can see is 6 weeks later you'll wish you'd gone for 35's What model patrol mate

I agree!!!!!!
Research it, and cool 9off before you make the ...

Righteo, problem solved. Sprayed the new elbows at the rear shocks and sure enough tiny bubble appeared. Swapped gaskets on each shock and this fixed one of the shocks, the other I removed the gasket all together and is working a treat. For peace of mind, also faced elbows towards tyres, ie ...

Just bought a new GU TD-6 and thinking of putting a 4" lift kit. Has any one had experience with the wizzard gear Was going to use Rancho shocks but have heard some bad and some good reports Should I pay the extra and get Koni shockies. It's a good truck and I want it to run nicely for day to day ...

BTW,

How is Jake's form!!!!! He has a prior commitment so he turns up later in the day, about 12:00 noon. First go of the last semi - modidfied track he does a big wheels up!!! Absolutely scared the shiat out of every other short and mid wheel based vehicle that was there!!! Good to see. Way to ...

It was a great weekend guys. Thanks to all who came along. Remember that this is a taste of what the ASCC has install. Good feed back also. Let it be known that I am tired of all the different 4WD clubs in the North that seperate from each other and hold their own individual events. There is no ...

Great hospitality from the townsville team, some fun tracks, and home with another honorable battle scar!
good pics Kev

Mmmmm - mikey needs power steering...

Hmmmm, Mikey needs power steering or Schwacheneeger biceps!!!!!!!!!
Love the Zook Mike! Cool rig!

I have had a few of the check valves leak on the compressors. There are two connected to a T, one for the front and one for the rear system. They are a tapered needle that seats on an O ring and they do leak. I have even had new valves leak from new. The valves can be pulled apart but you are ...

That REDBACK shorty cruiser was UNF***ING believable. I have never seen anything accelerate so quick (off road). The thing sounded like a nitro dragster!!!!

He put on a great show, and drove well!!

What Killeraxle said!

I agree totally. Well said. I have also found that people who bag the 6.2-6.5 know nothing about them or have not even seen them in a vehicle let alone know from experience how they perform. Funnily enough, people that I have done a conversion for, and people that own them ...

JAKE wrote:awesome i want some gotta a ptrice yet?

Jake I sell these and have them on my vehicle. Come and see me and I will show you.

Good report Luke!

Hats off to Singo, Luke ...

Thanks for the replies. I will investigate and post what I find out.
