Outer Limits 4x4 Board

100 series 4.5 petrol Auto, 33's,bullbar,winch,etc = heavy / aerodynamics of a brick. Just converted to gas 500 km ago, so far figures are Petrol - 20lt per 100kms = $34.00 Gas - 25lt per 100kms = $14.50 Both Highway figures. Wont take me long to pay off the $925 for the gas conversion. Thanks Ruddy...

Should have gone an EFS kit as I have heard really good after sales service if anything goes wrong, and I reckon they would have replaced it had one of their leaves broken. (that is if it wasnt efs and I'm not talkin through my ASS) :D I wonder if ### would still have used the overloading excuse eve...

Try Umahaurs ARB in Geelong Vic. They make them for GQ/GU and may make them for Toyatoa as well? Worth a try.

Mine is in the dump pipe after the turbo.

I know I know, its better to have it in the manifold before
the turbo. I'll get round to moving it one day.

You have just contradicted yourself by bagging the EFS Extreme
shocks ????????

Maybe you should start your own thread asking about "what shock to buy" or "should i buy EFS Extremes"

How come when someone asks about a product on here it turns into a slagging session.... : And he only asked where to get them from, not if any one had problems wiv them Because its an OPEN forum here where we can voice our opinions and experience on anything for the better of everyone. If you've ha...

If Vicroads say it needs one then it needs one. Everyone else can say what they like but their the ones with the power. My talks with the Engineer were "If thats what Vicroads specify then thats gospel no matter what I think" Their GOD. end of story. Still sucks I know. Mind you if its alr...

chpd80 did you have boots on the shocks? and did you bother to take them back when they played up. Yep had boots on the shocks and were in good condition, No I didn't bother persuing any warranty on them as SO many people were having the same probs as I had so I just put it down to experience, but ...

1HZ with factory 1HDT CT26 turbo fitted with top-mount WRX Intercooler. I can get my pyrometer to 550 deg. no prob by accelerating hard onto the highway and all the time the factory temp gauge will NEVER move. (its only gone up once after I filled it with mud and tried to drive home, doh!!!) Remembe...

Not sure about the engine but I know for sure in Vic. you cannot just get a certificate for the engine mod. The engineer has to give a certificate for the WHOLE vehicle. So if its lifted, diff wheels, bullbar, lights, gauges, seats etc etc etc they have to do the whole thing along with the engine mo...

Had tough dogs in my cruiser for less than 12 months, and wouldnt touch them again if someone gave them to me. They worked great when they were brand new but faded real fast and ended up with their hardest setting being same as their softest setting. Had lots of people say the same after trying them...

Try Andrew Cassar at ON-TRACK.
I'm sure he does them.

At the last 4x4 show in melbourne the LightForce stand had a
Jeep Cherokee parked on top of 2 Lights straight out of the box!!!!
XGT's i think, didn't crack them?????

Sorry but I have to agree, it was the worst run event I have spectated at :x I went with another guy who had never been before and I spent the whole day appolagising saying "its usually much better than this , honest!" I think it may have been run by a different club this year than the las...

Wow. You've certainly done some homework on that. I agree what your saying in getting techincal with the word "locked", but for all intent and purposes "locked" explains what your feeling, and in a round about sort of way what is going on with your tyres climbing a rutted hill fo...

Its a Toyota thing

I've turboed my 1HZ with a toyota CT26 turbo off a 1HDT motor, I'm not sure of the compressor wheel size etc, but it spools up nice and early and doesnt seem to run out of legs with high revs. I'm only running 10 pounds boost for the sake of longevity. Some turbo fitters wont fit turbo's to non fact...

I was just worried about the sudden locking tourque thats all. I know you didnt want to be told how they work, but you need to know that they are ALWAYS locked until one wheel tries to go faster than the other (like on a roundabout) then they will UNLOCK not lock. The clicking noise you can hear is...

Gidday Glen, Sorry to hear your winch still not going :cry: Don't really know were to get that bush your talking about? I thought the shaft would have been the same for warn motors. (ya learn something new everyday) :D You'll probably pay around $500 for a 6hp motor plus the adapter shaft. I bought ...

I've got 1HZ Turbo Intercooler, and I now drive diferently after fitting a pyrometer (in dump pipe). Example; Hills that you had to drop down to 4th or 3rd to get up before you turboed you will find that with the turbo you can stay in 5th and power up the hill. This is where the pyro changes how you...

Was up at mt. howitt 2 years ago, on December 27th (yep December) No service stations were selling alpine mix at that time of year and it was stinking hot at sale when we filled up. Drove up and camped at hut overnight and had 2-3 inches of snow, :armsup: thought it was great until we couldnt start ...

So Darren, have you definately decided against Toyota's V Nissan.? Theres plenty of toyota's around that I'm sure would love to have a chance to compete and help this catagory take off! Would be a shame to see such a good concept be limited to one brand. Their has always been great rivalry between T...

How good would it be for spectators (and the industry for that matter) to see well built capable trucks competing, knowing that they can definately afford to build and race something like what their looking at? Seeing that you dont have to spend $80,000 + to go and compete and be competitive will be...

There's some for sale with Walker Evans beadlocker in the for sale
section down lower!!!!

Man great idea. Dont get too stressed with getting the formula perfect from the start, like V8 supercars you can bring in changes to rules as they become problems. Kinda be a shame to limit it to GQ's only, at least allow a GQ/80 series comp. Cruisers will always be outnumbered by GQ's thats just th...

Thanks heaps mate, now I know how it works. Pressed off steel
ring and shaft came straight out, no need to get end cap off.

Thanks again.

Need to remove brake shaft from high mount to put in drilled and tapped shaft. What is the easiest way to get shaft cap and shaft out.? Was planning on hammer and brass punch, but am having trouble getting the inside cap off before punching out the shaft :x Any ideas?? ps. the cap I'm talking about ...
