Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Depending on the weight - simple over ride brakes might be easiest. I needed to upgrade my box trailer to carry 700kgs making the GVM about 1 tonne which is easily towed and braked by my car but to be legal needed brakes so I put overrides on it.

The brakes do not actually work because there is not ...

I have 315/75 R 16s and find them great both onroad and off. They are wearing well and not all that noisy. While a mud they are still a compromise between road and offroad and something like Simex will be better in the mud but crap everywhere else. The KM2s are one of the best muddies that can be ...

[quote="awill4x4"]I wasn't charged for GST as the price of the tyres came in under $1000 but I probably should have been as the air freight pushed it over by around $300+.

My Haflinger is now up and running and back on the road - I took it for its first trip up into the Brindabellas and it ran quite well.

This is the aftermarket fit on a Disco 3

This is the OEM fit on a Disco. The OEM is not as good as the aftermarket

Nope but if the vehicle is old it may not be relevant.

The simple answer is yes but the mount will have to be ADR compliant. Cars like the Discovery 3/4 and RRS have them as and OEM option.

Use a auto out of a early Disco 1 update - it is still hydraulic and does not require major electronic controlling.

Mine has Fiat 14" rims on it with Hankook M+S tyres on it. I can get Maxxis muddies for these but I think they might be a bit tall.

I might put some tractor tyres on the 12" for use in the short distance heavy offroad stuff.

Any one know where I can 165R12" muddie type tyres for a Haflinger??

[quote="mattc"]Update - not a very exciting video but it runs under its own power. I still have a binding brake issue to look at and needs a tune up but feels like making some progress.....and it has seats now! :)

Hi Matt - any further ...

What about using a Range Rover P38 tfr case??

[quote="Simo63"]There are a number of other issues as well and to be honest I would recommend you get a later 4.6 block and build the motor from there as I would think you would have a far better result for the same sort of money. In fact it might be cheaper.

The RR Classics/Discovery 1 (basically the same car) will have the 3.5/3.9 V8s - as mentioned the most common engine mods is to go up to the 4.6 - expensive mods can take the Rover to 5.2 litres. The other most common mod would be a let Chev LS1?? crate engine. Some of these mods will mean you will ...

eeeer, aaaah, Land Rovers and Range Rovers, I didn't come here to swear at you so I don't mean those other things made in japan :D[/quote]

What sort of Landrover??

Series 1, Series 2, Series 3, County, 110 ...

I was at the local branch of the Battery Factory on another matter and I asked about deep cycle batteries for the RRS. The issue is the physical size of most decent sized Ah batteries. Optimas fit but have low Ahs and are expensive at around $400. 60ah Allrounder batteries will fit in the ABS box as ...

You can also fit a smaller physical sized battery such as an optima in the space just in front of the starter battery.

[quote="Ye Olde Rangie"]what fuel are you running it on? my old car used to ping with the cheap 91 octane fuel in, i put the 98 in and it ran great no pinging[/quote]

That is treating the symptom not the issue. The V8s have not issue on 91 Ron.

Timing should be 3 degrees BTDC but you can go advanced to about 9 degrees without issue. TDC is too retarded.

As far as I am aware there is no way the systems can be turned off. However there is aftermarket gear that can trick the car. For example the sensors that detect height can be modified so that standard highway height becomes the offroad height and off road height becomes something higher. I have ...

You should not have had a problem if you stay below 50kph - as I guess you know, going faster will make it drop to highway height and then it has to pump the car back up again - all this going up and down makes the compressor work harder and overheat - there are kits that allow you to exceed 50kph ...

No wheel less than 19" will fit - as you have indicated the limiting factor is the calipers - even a custom jib will have to be 19" or more

Sounds like an ignition lead problem with the LPG. With old/dirty leads the high tension charge from the dizzy firing to a cylinder can jump to another cylinder and fire a gas mixture in the inlet manifold via the other cylinder that is sucking in a gas charge in preparation for firing.

[quote="zuffen"]Lexus powered Range Rover that shows 235.2kw at the wheels.[/quote]

235.2kw at the back wheels means something like 320kw at the engine. That ain't no standard Lexus/Toyota V8 - what mods have been made to the engine?

If yours is a 91 it will have 10 spline axles. The changeover to 24spline was in late 93 to early 94. All updates are 24 spline but late pre updates are a mix.

[quote="ashtrans"]Hi,

we have found a few bugs but are working on them as we speak,

currently not working with firefox,

LT77 ratios all showing the same for different varients,

the 'other' diff option looks OK to me, when you click 'other', a box comes up for the ratio to me entered in,

I do not have a listed diff ratio so hit "other". When I hit "Go" it asks me to enter a diff ratio but there does not seem to be any means of doing that.

The strongest landie CVs are those in the 101 but unfortunately they do not fit in any other landie except a series 1 tonner.
