Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I got quoted about $700 in sydney, and that was for me to remove and take it in.

If its just that cap with two bolts on the lower drivers side of the pump just replace it and keep going. Thats what mine was, $1 and 10000ks later still dry.

I had a fj40 and upgraded to a GQ 4.2 turbo. I gave the 40 a hard time off road and was on the bricks constantly I give the GQ death off road and yet (fingers crossed) to break a thing in 3 years Best thing I did. Get the 4.2 TD if you can. Coils, air con space... Wont be going back thats for sure.

I just installed the same gauge and I dId recall it saying somewhere not to shorten wire. I just bunched it up and cable tied it. I did it by the instructions and got it put into exhaust before I tested and it works fine.

Can't see how that would damage the gauge.

Just thinking outside the box for a moment, what are the brakes like, I mean you haven't got a lazy or sticky cylinder on one side? This question is for both DEZ and tailpipes. I've never seen this or experienced this because of a locker, hubs or transfer case. The pulling to one side you describe ...

Ive got the same issue as yours. As l don't think its your auto locker.I tried new and used genuine hubs x4 sets, New and used genuine cvs including long fields and yuri x3 sets,x3 sets of new and used axles, Had the arb locker striped and inspected by ARB. They couldn't find any thing so i put the ...

Did you set the clearances correctly for the auto locker. What you describe is typically and auto lokka working intermittently in 4H. I had a similar issue, took the lokka out, replaced the springs and dowels as they were broken and reset the clearances. No problem anymore. A front auto lokka is ...

Mate I'd be checking your ratios front and rear, easy to do. Mark the prop shaft, jack up both wheels (front or rear), with the box in neutral and in 2H with hubs locked in. Turn a wheel 10 full turns and count the number of times the prop shaft goes round, (with the locker in the front , both ...

Ok so im still looking around to find out this issue. I had the entire front end apart when putting in the locker, and did swivel hubs and bearings ect, and everything was fine. So it doesn't leave much but the transfer??. Is there any adjustments or tests that can be made?? Maybe I should call a ...

You haven't got a different ratio in the front have you? Or different tyre sizes front to rear? Both my Cruisers had a detroit locker in the front and had the rear welded and I NEVER had issues with coming out of 4WD or the hubs unlocking. Nope I have 33s on every corner same tread. Im assuming ...

Are they auto or manual hubs? you say you have to reverse and wait for the hubs to disconnect! if they are manual that should be happening! I would look at your auto locker. Manual hubs, it seems to come out of 4wd straight away when i reverse, dont think its linked to the hubs. Auto locker is new ...

Td42, manual, standard gearing/transfer, manual hubs, auto locker front, 3" lift, 275000ks When I go off road and select 4H, the steering goes all over the place, shoots left and right and is heavy and hard to control. The Cvs, diff centre, swivel area, tie rods, arms are good. About 70% of the time ...

I've got a TD42 with extractors and a 2.5 inch system but I'm after the same deep sound as a turbo TD with 3 inch exhaust (obviously I won't have the turbo whistle sound). I'm looking at shortening the system- I'm going to put a 45 degree bend off the back of the muffler so the exhaust blows under ...

in a gq there is a space next to the drive shaft and i was thinking of a custom made water tank for touring, has any one had one made up in sydney? does any one have any info at all? what capacity????? There are sub tanks made for that positon on the drivers side of about 60-70L, so something to ...

HAHA exaclty what i thought, until i read down

is there any power gains to be had by upping the fuel a touch after fitting a snorkel and extractors?? When i got my snorkel (ditched pre filter), extractors, 2.5" exhaust and lift pump fitted up i wound it in twice and still doesnt blow any smoke, I got some really good gains, so much i dont even ...

power gains - yes i got a much better reving motor = more usuable power, not massive but deffinatly noticeable for me. I used a facet pump, whilst yes its not as high litre per min than others, I think its more than adaquate for n/a. There is no need to fit by-pass as it free flows without much if ...

mine is n/a and my mates and turbo and dgas ive driven both and whilst yes the turbo is quite nice to drive, I dont seem to have a problem maintaing 110 on freeways. In saying that when i first got it, it was slower and have since done exhaust, fuel and air mods and gotten noticeable gains, and as ...

Yes, but aren't we talking about torque, not power? Max torque is WAY LOWER. Torque is what pushes it through the gears. Who drives through soft sand at 3600-4000rpm? I do it about 2000rpm with a TD42 and 3000rpm in a ZD30, 'cos that's where the TORQUE is. I had my na td42 on the beach on the ...

gday i think my situation was simular but little different.. the more you rev it the more it didnt want to keep going up the rev range (3k plus). Anyway i looked for the filter from other posts and nothing in there (worth checking), i fitted an electric lift pump. Now it revs right through... big ...

yeah but isnt that stuff more of a tempory fix? i mean if you want to do some big long outback trips would you really feel comfortable with a seal up?

Im sure it works but is there i chance that it can give?

hey guys mate of mine's td42 has had excess water flowing into his overflow bottle and bubbles comming from radiator. After damaging the radiator (didnt know) it lost a bit of water and started to get hot. Now my understanding of these point to a head gasket so want to know a good diesel mech in syd ...

well good to see i opened up a great debate on the wheel in the air topic. I think i can say question answered! = my mate wrong

great thread guys thanx

they have the worst turning circle known to man. Just wait till you get into a tight car park even you'll get the sh*ts even the long bonnet screws you up. Its not a shopping trolley anyway

gday guys I have one question, im considering getting a 4wd systems lokka for front of the gq. Now my mate reckons that if you have the opposite wheel in the air and you stop, the locker will NOT provide traction the the spinning wheel. Is this correct? he tells me its basicly another lsd? dont want ...

i think most if not all mavericks have the silver rocker cover motors. These had stronger internals made for turbos. Where past 93 patrols went to the black top td42s which had lighter duty internals although better reving apparently.

[/quote]I run a toyota steel cap of a 75 or 80 series.
They are ment to be better![/quote]

ah right is that just a 1hz rad cap?

daniels, did you just cut a new rubber and fit it? how much thicker?

anyone know of a different cap that solves this problem?

Dez

gday guys I have recectly upgraded my rad with a atrad (i think) copper hd 3 core. Now i seem to be loosing water into the expansion bottle (nearly full). I thought when the cap reached a certain pressure it then would release water to it? ok so when i squeeze my top hose i can see water flowing ...

hey dez the best way to get some heavy duty draw slides is to get a bit of rhs on either side of your draw and then run some bearings top and bottom of the rhs this is what is done on my draws that are in the back of my 80 series if you need some pics to see what i mean let me know cheers lee ...

gday guys just at the next stage of my drawers for the gq. Now runners are next, ive seen heaps around on ebay, what have you guys used? what works good?

most importantly im in sydney where can i get a couple pairs of these local? need to be 100kg rated

cheers dez

ok few different replys more say leave it on lol i dont need it really just be sitting there keeping itsself cool raising the power bill. I spose there isnt a 100% answer so probably cant hurt doing either ay

thanx for the replys
