Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Also creates some ground clearance and considering the rock rash on the front of my radius arms clearance and castor correction is enough reason for me to do it

I get it No, I don't think you do get it. Your analogy of lowering the handle end of the wheel barrow arms is not the same as simply flipping the radius arms. With flipped radius arms, the chassis (handle) end of the arms are in the same place whether normal or flipped. In your wheel barrow analogy...

I get it
You're trying to sell your product

You can calculate and graph it as much as you like, but pushing a loaded wheelbarrow with your arms in different positions will prove beyond doubt that my example is 100% correct - try it for yourself. your comparison is similar to a 2" lift compared to a 10" lift...... have a REAL think ...

If your making a custom stainless one then you should be able to mount it so it clears the aerial

I'm not 100% certain but I believe that there is a notch molded into the snorkel around the aerial and your aerial should come straight up not have that 90 deg bend in it so i'd say thats an after market aerial. So I'm going to say maybe you have the wrong snorkel for your particular model, just a t...

Have you done anything else like lengthen bump stops etc because my 35s just touch in the rear with 3in

I know that I don't need to run a 4inch lift to fit 33's and that a 2inch lift will fit 35's snug but I still want at least a 4-5 inch lift all up. Mainly for looks than anything :) . Looks is never a reason to do anything to a 4wds suspension, you should be aiming to do the smallest possible lift ...

I'm about 99% certain that running standard 80 coils in a Pootrol it gives about 2in of lift so if 80 springs lift a a runner 4in and a patrol 2in then i'd say patrol coils would give you about 2in in a runner
and kyro i'd say your 2in sus lift is the torsion bars cranked up

Can someone please tell me what auto gearbox is in the 3.0TD Surf.

On mine the front mounts lined up perfectly just had to drill the holes out a little bigger the rear outer mounts i just welded a bit of flat plate to them and ad to drill the hole back a little further and the ones against the transmission tunnel took a little fab work but i'm really happy with the...

I'll measure the chassis tomorrow aswell but the arm mounts sit about half on/ half off the chassis with a gusset over the top and no the diff isn't modded mines 79 draglink and 80 panhard, the 80 panhard is shorter than 79 when I got my 79 housing it had no hubs, discs or calipres at all mine are 8...

Heres another bloke using a79 front in an IFS lux http://www.4wdmonthly.com.au/forum/s...ad.php?t=58243

They're the same it's the set up i'm running I'll try to remember to measure for you tomorrow

Nice work mate
I used the IFS box when I did mine and I'm pretty sure Dougster did in his aswell I just remounted it forward a little and used a steering shaft extension but this just goes to show that theres more than one one to do it

Hey Andy this is the link to the thread for the disc set up I'm doing on the lux if you have a look through it I'm pretty sure theres a guy somewhere in it thats done a disc rear on his 60 try PMing him

Next time try searching dude

its all gone I just cut most of the way in on both sides and then flexed the backing plate back and forth until the last bit of metal cracked and snapped so the backing plates in two pieces

can someone give me a update on how it done PLEASE

Press it all off then press the bearing/retainer and collar back on.

I just cut the backing plates off with the 4in

Is that tray build coming up soon I hear Shaneo?

use 78/79 series cruiser front with 80 series hubs to take it back to 6 stud its the same width as ifs lux the cv's will be 80 series which you can get longs for and the bush at the top of the arm is eye not the pin type that bundy has so it flexes better and if your really keen you can get superior...

MY brother and me did my front in the shed at home as long as you think about what your doing and ask the right questions to the right people and do your research it's not that hard

I've got a Cruiser front end in my lux and I just have lux shafts I just measured my IFS lux single cab shafts and they won't do it for you but I have a vauge recollection that the tail shaft out of an early 90's model surf comes close to 1100

Because the X-link is so beefy it does a lot of diff gaurding on it's own

[quote="ferrit"]When i can track down the front cut of a bundera, thats the next stage :twisted: I want full coils damnit! :cool:[/quote I used a 79 series front cut and put 80 series hubs on it to make it 6 stud again 79 has eye mounts at the chassis end in stead of the pins so it won't b...

send me a PM Hanko I live just near you at Penrith and I have the set up Sic lux is talking about you can come have a look if you want

I've got an 03 3.0td single cab and it has a factory one piece
