Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Thanks fellas, sounds like I'm not too far off then. Was a bit worried that hammer fit might have been too tight. I have been marking the plates when clamped on the chassis, then setting up on the work bench to spot weld and have made up spacers of the required width to keep my spacing whilst ...

I've started making some sidesteps for my 80 using 40x40x4 for the legs and main step, with 2mm checker floorplate on top. The brackets are 50x8 in a U shape with bolts on top. My question is this: how much clearance should i allow in the bracket to enable easy fitment without making it too loose ...

thanks for the advice fellas car overheated again over xmas so ripped the radiator out. took it to a local joint to have it rodded, they called me back and said don't bother, its too rooted. was only a 2 core with 4 rows (ie 4 front and back) permanently block, and rest were full off crap. doubt ...

I'm in the market for a new radiator for my 80 series as my car is overheating badly on sand, up hills etc. I have already changed the thermostat, water pump, new oil in thermo fan housing, hoses and fluid. So, what type of radiator do I get: Copper and brass tanks Copper and plastic tanks Aluminium ...

I have a 3" lift to clear 35" simexes, with small cutouts of inside of plastic flares. Another option is 2 + 2

how durable is this cubelock stuff? what are the connectors made out of? i want to make a rack for above the tray of my ute but want to keep it light weight and i can't weld. rough cost per metre? cheers 2 people on exploroz forum made a rear shelf/drawer system and after their first trip they ...

i have the 285/75/16 on my 80 series, came with the vehicle when i bought it several years ago. really good tyre but they are loud, i reckon louder than my 35 radial claws. quite good offroad, had no problems to date on road. i have bought some 35 simex's for play tyres, the silverstones stay on for ...

I have a 285/75/16 under mine with no problems (on road). Offroad it will get you hung up on all sorts of things.

thanks to Mr Rudd i'm the market for some toys, err for the kiddies, and was looking at getting a 40l Engel. Anyone know of good deals going on?

double clicking. umm, don't know. still central locking, its central locking from switch inside drivers door. can't honestly remember if it works from key on outside, been ages since i tried. pretty sure that key on outside passenger door won't lock/unlock all doors

i've only had a max of 36" tyres on one of my cars, but reckon any more would really be pushing the friendship of braking capacityesp on a 40 series (bar engineering to overcome) and cop magnetism (bar dodgey town/state)

if you flick the switch on inside of ddor then all the doors lock. if you use key in drivers door or passenger door, i'm pretty sure it only locks those doors respective doors only. i may be wrong, had a few beers. hmmm, beer

i put in a mongoose alarm, model 80 or something to that extent. worked brilliantly. i have 2 ac delco batteries in the car, i had no end of problems with batteries going flat. even down below 7v for maybe a day or 2 not being driven. pulled the alarm out and more problems. stupid thing, i hate car ...

From what i have read the solid ring is there to make it quieter on the road. It kinda makes sense if you think about it :? i boughtg my 80 series with some 33 silvertone sports, about half worn i guess. quite good offroad, not too bad in mud, pretty good in sand and rock actually. i had 35 radial ...

thanks for finding out Mark, pity it won't fit. i recently replaced all my handbrake parts, new drums, barke shoes and all springs and clips. adjusted it all and i now have a handbrake that will stop the car rolling away.

this shits me. use gps on occasion for work trips. bloody thing plays up and tries to send you where it feels like going to, and wont let you program it when traveling more than 4kmh. will look into the software option next time why can't they put in a rear mounted button, so you have to push button ...

:? I don't know what to say to you mate but if you think you're making yourself look good by posting all the crap that you are, think again. I have known Andrew for many years, as have hundreds of people on Outerlimits that he has helped with information and guidance over the years. I have bought ...

92 80 series would have been 15" rim 6 stud, so doubt they'll fit a prado. the 80 went to 16" 6 stud couple years later, 100 series replaced them with a 16" 5 stud and then prado's started coming out. my bet is the prado is 16" 5 stud

not 100% certain, very doubtful though

only if absolutely everything goes through the ammeter. this is easier when you only have one battery or they are at least mounted near each other. ideal setup is both, if one only get a voltmeter

voltmeter, just make it a good one with decent accuracy and resolution. my voltmeter is to 2 decimal places, can't remember accuracy but is very very close to my fluke dmm, and it is self powered (ie powered by the circuit it is measuring). ammeter are a bugger to wire in, although wiring a shunt in ...

mine maxs out at 14.45v, give or take a few .01's (have a good digital meter on the dash). 14.8v and above would be doing damage to the battery. oh, and this would be a problem of the regulator as its job is to set the output voltage (may be inside alternator or a external one)

as a price reference, the toyota filter for 1hz is just over 41 bucks. haven't bought a fleetguard for a 1hz yet, will look around who sells them

hope setting the preload isnt to critical, i was just planning of putting original shims back in. was only one shim on top, toyota and thickness etched into it. do i: 1 put them back in how i found them, or 2 replace with new shims of same thickness, or 3 some combination of above and set the ...

beebee and ausyota are right. i'll be buying one on monday

sic lux, is that the brass bush in the back of the stub axle? you are right, it doesn't come in the toyota kit, well none that i have seen. job for next weekend then


any ideas on the swivel hub bearings?

doing swivel hub bearings, seals felts etc and i'm stumped i knocked out the bottom bearing race before noticing that they are both worn unevenly, like it was wearing on one side of the race making it elliptical. or they are meant to be like this? my question relates the replacement bearing in the ...

thanks guys. as far as i know these are on hiluxes (disc with caliper) or older split transfer case cruisers (drum brake). the split cases are on 40, 60 and 70 series cruisers.

can a transmission handbrake from a patrol (GQ/GU) be put into my 80 series landcruiser?

has anyone used these on another car?
any ideas on feasibility


cheers

that's huge

hope it has had an engine conversion to lug around the extra weight

as a matter of interest , and i'm about to do my 200k service, what oil do i put in the transfer case? the same vmx-m 75/85 or something else?

oh, it is an 80 series, diesel, manual, full time

i sometimes think that the expensive drawer options would had more weight to. this is more of a feeling i have rather than actually measuring drawers versus shelf + boxes
