Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Yeah still haven't gone ahead. I couldn't find any info but I am sure if i bought a whole wreck most things should swap over. Whats wrong with the engine in your car? We bought the RA from the auctions with a tool box on the back for work but it obviously hadn't been well serviced and it drinks oil ...

For buying chargers locally if you have a Total Tools close they advertised their brand of charger to suit all the big name cordless tool companies. I looked at the hitachi charger for my tools and the charger is identical to my australian charger with Total Tools sticker on it. Just a way of not ...

Just wondering what you are going to do about engineering for the CCDA rules for challenge class or have I just read into the rules too much? This sort of slowed me down a bit as engineering in SA is hard to get done and expensive compared to the eastern states.

Cheers,

Hi, Im interested in seeing some pictures, I started to build something similar and lost motivation at the moment. I have the spring and shock mounts off the gq welded on the front of the rocky chassis and cut the back off the cab ready to turn it into a ute and it has stopped there at the moment ...

Just worked this out the hard way to, trying to put a gq gearbox in my mates GU. Any chance some one has a picture of the top of the gearbox from a GU to see if there is any chance of swaping over the top selector hat between the two? We have pulled the box back out and removed the gq selector but ...

Just wondering if anyone can help. We have a v6 extra cab rodeo which has 140k on the clock it drinks heaps of fuel and a heap of oil. We can get a written off RA turbo diesel with reasonable kms on it for a good price and we are wondering if the engine will bolt in using the diesels cross members ...

I was running hilux diffs and had no vibration problems at all. The only thing i can think of is did you make sure the diff pinion flange and the transfer case flange are parallel? Im not sure if this would cause low speed problem tho? I was strugling with flex as well but it was mainly to do with ...

I have done the conversion with hilux diffs and is good once it is done. I am actually looking to sell my full conversion if you are interested as i have a pair of GQ diffs i want to put in it. It has a high steer arm with moddified steering arm to match the rocky steering box to hilux hi-steer. It ...

I have a black steel bar for a rocky, not sure what brand. PM me if you are interested.

I have an 86 daihatsu rocky with hilux diffs with spring over the car is available for sale as is or I will part it out. Parts Available -2.8 Diesel in good condition was meant to be rebuilt before i bought it but i have no proof from previous owner - Near new radiator (3000km) - 5 speed fully ...

Ring Bill at Turbo tech for a price. With turbo tech they will set your car up properly on the dyno and the 2.8 responds really well to a turbo not only power wise but normally better fuel economy as well. Mind you they are pretty busy. The Denco kit comes with a schwitzer turbo and is a good kit ...

The 4wd systems kit is $499 plus freight comes with free wheeling hubs and spacers if your car is 94 on. Comes with better instructions thank Marks and is just as good a product.

Have been quoted about $800 change over for my power steering box on my 93 80 series and think this is crazy since the seal kit is about $40. Has anyone rebuilt a power steering box and did they have any trouble? What do I have to look out for and are there any special tools needed.

Ben

Have rocky diffs for sale in for sale section. Any inquiries email me at bplatten@adam.com.au

I work at 4WD systems in SA where they manufacture their own locka they charge max $350 to install that is removing and refitting the centre and its not going to take much more to do the seals so $500 might be a bit rich. Its not hard if you follow all the instructions properly and just make sure ...

There is a diff specialist out north of adelaide who told me he used to make lockers for early model rockys. He said if you supply him a centre he can make a pneumatic locker for anything. I dont know how much. I looked for his number in the yellow pages and I think his business is 4x4 transmissions ...

If you swap to hilux diffs at the same time with the standard 4.8s ratio or whatever they are 35s will be perfect. I have 33s with spoa hilux diffs and the top speed is about 90kmh comfortably you can push it to 100 but you start chewing the diesel.

Come and play in the quarry and tracks around morgan. It is about an hour and 45 mins from the servo at the base of the freeway that some one else was talking about. Its good fun and my Rocky is at my parents place about 25 mins from there and Im putting a new diff in the rear and then I can come ...

Recently I was in the high country in victoria and had to get some parts for my Rocky. I travelled into Mowell which I think is only 150kms from melbourne. There is a wrecker there that I found called Louges 4wd wrecker or something like that and he is importing a heap of half cuts from japan ...

Its not that the wide body rocky flares cant be made to fit but I can only find two out of four flares in adelaide one front and one rear. I dont mind having to modify the feroza gaurds slightly just wondering if someone has had any luck.

Has any one had a go or suceeded in mounting wide body feroza flares onto a rocky. I need to cover my jungle treckers cause I have hilux diffs in my rocky. I have looked at wide body rocky flares but the gaurds are different and they are hard to get hold of. Any help with some wide flares would be ...

Hi all, Just finished modding my rocky as you can see in the avatar. I have just rebuilt the gearbox because I knocked a couple of teeth off one of the gears also fitted new clutch and machined flywheel. Did a few seals to fix all the leaks. Fitted a new radiator. I fitted hilux diffs with 33 inch ...

Can I see some pics as well

Hi All, Im rebuilding the gearbox in my F70 Rocky and have found the counter gear shaft has a chipped gear. So Im looking for a new shaft, If anyone knows a wrecker that you can actually buy seperate parts from or some one who has a spare box they will sell parts from. Please email me bplatten@adam ...

Unfortunately I wont be able to come up as I have just pulled the rocky off the road to rebuild the gear box and diffs (hopefully change to Hilux diffs). The way to morgan is you head out of adelaide on Main North road/sturt highway, thru elizabeth and muno para. You turn left to freeling off of the ...

Yeah it is legal to go there and we go there quite a bit even with motorcross bikes etc. with no rego. It is good for all types of vehicles to muck around in and I reckon its a really good place to learn. I have seen standard new suzukis out there on some of the stuff. There are so many acres of ...

Hi

I have a 85 turbo diesel rocky with an inch or so lift. I would be interested in a day trip depending on what weekend and a few of my mates might come as well. I know a really good spot at morgan about an hour and a half minutes from adelaide. Heaps of area to muck around on.
