Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I love it when old threads get reborn :-) As for ARB, my father spent stupid $$$ with them on a cruiser. They damaged items and didn't fit it all properly. I.e. how about filling up your brand new shiny truck with glowing ARB bits proud as punch and having diesel pour all over the ground because ...

yeah I have a 1993 LN106 with a meridian safe N sound installed.. it was professionally installed (wife wanted to pay someone to bolt it in for her peace of mind)... its bolted directly behind the back seat on the wall... as the other guys said, drop the back seat the holes are right there on the ...

those that know of them deserve to drive on them, those that cant find them, shouldnt be looking for them! Says it all really.... I so wish I could find a forum and friends who thought me deserving of a more manly trail, maybe they would share their tracks with me as the super tough elite grade ...

Awesome. isn't this a forum? in Canberra a while back the folks tried to get a weekend going a few times and it never happened. So yeah, great advice... I'm already on a forum .. thats what this is I thought? as for idiots or wankers? mate wake up ... the point of my post was simple... they WILL ...

Aaah the wonderful sound of secret squirrels, don't tell anyone where you keep your acorns..... all the other squirrels won't find them ... its not like they will drive in the bush .... nope most 4x4 owners just hang in the city and take it to the cafe for latte. yep I love folks who hide their ...

Would be interesting to see how long your oil could be re-used after processing from a centrifuge to pull particles out.

in other words, how long until the additive packs are consumed...


I wonder how long until we all start going to a depot to reprocess our oil and top up the additive packs?

I could be wrong, and Pongo will no doubt know...

but can't you mix diesel and the oil to help thin it out .. say a 60/40 mix?

I just take the airbox cover off the hilux when in town and when I hit dirt or go a water crossing put it back on for the snorkel to work.

a lot more induction noise and it feels like it is a little more perky down low - but only subjective.. no dyno testing of this.

Thehanko,

I bought my gauges a while back - and they ran some ridiculous deals initially.

Even with the current prices, the exchange rate makes them a quite viable option.

I bought mine with a safari kit installed. check out fleabay - the surf kits seem to go for about $500. for gauges, I bought an EGT, Boost and Oil pressure (all electric) from here http://prosportgauges.com/blue_performance_gauges.aspx landed for about $120 thereabouts. they are stepper motors jobs ...

TTT.

you get a price?

I know one exhaust shop that would argue that point with you..

Weld a manifold or replace the lot - bit of a difference in price.

not the bolt kind - but that kit is indeed a nutsert/rivnut tool.

It looks the same (diff colour) to my avdel one.

It really is similar to a pop rivet gun

Yeah there is a kit on egay that is based on that idea (the bolt one).

Surely someone in Melbourne has a kit you can borrow - if you come to Canberra I'll help you out!

Modified Toy,

whats your take on why the duragear would be better than the 80/90?

Cheers

I use in my LN106 '93 Hilux

Gearbox, Transfer and front diff = Castrol EPX 80-90w
Rear Diff = Castrol LSX90

And have yet to add it but will put some MBL8 into front diff, gearbox and transfer this weekend.

Cheers

Thanks Midi73

Anyone got the LN106 dual cab Hilux diagram?

Ruffy,

thanks for the insult - I was flipping the search function, good to see you took it as directed at you.

did someone leave the gate open? the sheep are out again... Everyone knows front & back is better than one. This thread and poll was to discuss which was better, front or back - a valid consideration when you first buy a 4x4 as not everyone earns enough cash to be able to slap them both in on one ...

Mate,

ask him when those repairs occurred - the ad said 'recently'

so did he do them all in one hit? (i.e. was it off the road - if so .. why?)

or are they spread over time (common) if so .. how recent is recent...

LOL @ love_mud :D I am in the same position, with only a factory LSD in the rear of my Hilux, the pennies are being saved for a front locker. I figure that the back end is doing *some* work and the front does bugger all.. so at least if the front is able to pull then I'll be a bit better off than I ...

I buy Caltex, have been told BP has a higher quality of fuel but the local BP stations don't sell enough Diesel to keep me happy. The Caltex I buy from services the local industrial area so goes through a lot of Diesel which I figure has to be good - if they ever sell a bad batch of fuel then ...

I know this is an old thread, but if you need cast iron welded I know a bloke in Canberra who can do it properly.

He is ex RAAF with all the appropriate gear.

Guys, its BS. just like Kowen being closed unless you get a key. http://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/PDFs/north_tallaganda_draft_operations.pdf The above link is a 6mb PDF map download... on the website it publicly states to contact the relevant offices to find out how to get a printed copy.
