Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I just replaced the 2 lowest diff studs with bolts and use them for draining the oil.

So I've got an old set of tsl's which have been sikaflexed at some stage to the rims. 3 out of 5 were leaking so I've broken the beads and given them a good clean with a wire brush, and got all the mud off. Now I'm ready to re- sikaflex the beads. Now I've read a lot of the threads mentioning ...

I got 28m with splicing of 10mm syn rope on my low mount m8000 comfortably.

A picture tells a thousand words, but I reckon 94lux is on the money. You need to remount your box further forward. Or you could move your diff back if you dont need the extra firewall clearance from the ruf.

Ive used the drop pitman on mine and sas'ed 4runners ive done. Why do you guys recommend the flat arm?I think the dropped arm clears the chassis alot better. I guess it depends on where your steering box is mounted but ive found if using the standard mounting points on 4runners to use the dropped ...

Definately flat.

you can get them out of china if you just want cheap as posiable they are $470 per kit it includes 1x locker centre ,switches ,compresser,air lines but the freight would be about $220 per diff but you have the option of sending it sea frieght if you wanna wait 8 weeks but it will be about $80 all ...

$669 bux :shock: there is defs a cheaper way mate Not that I know of if you want/need the pumpkin centred. If there is please share, I am keen to know. Get a prado rear diff and you can even bolt in your hilux centre. Adds width, disk brakes and still has the drum handbrake setup inside the disc.

Another option is a prado diff. Not quite bolt on but allows you to use the standard centre from the lux, adds a fair bit of width too. It uses the drum handbrake setup inside the disc which is easily modded to use the standard handbrake cable. Having said all that, I haven't done the install yet ...

It will be a 5 stud (same as ford stud pattern), unless it's from a import 4wd hiace, they are 6 stud like a hilux.

joeblow, what was your setup mate?

v840 I miss the LWB After throwing spanners around with the vitara again today... I'm looking for another LWB sierra

yoger, I'll have a measure of the backspacing on the rims for you tomorrow if I have a chance, I'm guessing they are around the -20mm

I've pretty much just done exactly what you wanna do. LWB vitara, cut guards like you did, roughly 50mm bumpstop extensions on the rear, 30mm spacer on the rear spring and 15mm spacer on the front springs (not that they are actually necessary but I wanted a little lift for the time being), and ...

did anyone see the 80 roll today was a good one, dont think they know what there doing when it come's to the recoverys there did more damage trying to get it back on its wheels :shock: jimbo Yeah, I seen the 80 tumble. We had one car left in front of us before it was our turn when that happened ...

Another brushed on blue hammertone. Roughed up the old paint with (80 grit?) sand paper I think, and rolled on the paint where possible and then brushed on the rest (most of the car :lol: ) Easy to touch up after making "contact" with things too :lol: http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/7779 ...

Sanger, save some time, and get rid of the inner guards altogether like I did recently Heaps easier to do everything and a lot more functional

Well we had a pretty average weekend. On the saturday we woke up to wet seats and then no front locker on the 1st track (air tank empty and with a blown fuse on the compressor), then had carby problems (problem ended up just being the choke flapping open and closed) and had a ok crack at the courses ...

I braced the long arm with 6mm plate and made a new short one from 6mm also. Has been a reliable setup so far :) Of course to do this it will raise the transfer up a few inches and unless you have a BL you'll have to do some major cutting :twisted: http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/6372 ...

The little vit done well

I think you only went well on the saturday because the tractor in front of you was making the courses easy for you

A massive :armsup: :armsup: :armsup: to the TLCC, sponsors and competitors for putting on a massive and entertaining weekend :D Apart from the dust storms and gale force winds. the weekend was tops with some awesome drives all round :armsup: Agreed!!! :) I finished in at 3rd place in trophy :armsup ...

Another custom design...

Indeed. But it's had a lot done to it sine then (even though it might look the same!) What have you done to it? And get it on some rocks :twisted: thats where it belongs ;) I'd just go 4.5's or 4.88 in the diffs. Or better yet go bigger tyres :D Nah, just change the diff gears, 37's are plenty big ...

SPECTATOR ROLL CALL: - MissForby + 1 (possibly +5 actually) - Alexcliffo + 5ish - BigCat + 5ish - Playdoh + 3ish with me + 10ish from the4wdzone.com - Gribble + a few (11th is my B-day!

Just thought I'd add the vid of myself and CAPSIZ off the forum doing some track testing prior to the event

I filled it up again today. It took 111 litres this time. I'm averaging out at 14.4l/100km (1/2 freeway, 1/2 city driving) and I'm quite happy with it atm

EDIT
Also how do these engines go with gas? Just thinking it might be a worthwhile conversion at the moment...

Thanks for all the replies, pretty much what i was expecting

Why

It looks like a white 4 runner with a bullbar

Might post some later on in my members section if I can be bothered.

I've just purchased a 91 3.0 V6 4runner and it has a long range tank. I'm hoping to be able to tow my zook with this to comps and it's my new daily driver. I wanna know what the capacity of the stock tank is and what it is with the long range one under there too. I filled up what I thought was all ...

Looks good

You aren't by any chance the person I spoke to in Penrith on a little trail earlier in the year?

The pics make it look nuts, but in the video it's not as bad. Pretty cool, nice work with the buildup too mate, good to see it being used

Sounds like a cool build

keep us updated
