Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Ooohhh…. details??

No idea but provided it physically fits surely it can't be that hard, you'd think.
If it's cheap just grab it and try.

Pretty sure 106 is just the model designation for that rounder shape that came out in 1988 and ran to 1997.
The LN was diesel and the RN was petrol.
What is it in the VIN your trying to figure out exactly?

What tony said old mate, couple bits of info and a pic and can most likely help you out

Hang on a minute... RN106 and 2lte? That can't be right unless it's been swapped? The RN woulda had a petrol I'd have thought and probably just a G52 but if they swapped in the diesel then don't know whether they swapped box too... Um so first step I guess would be to find out what transfer case you ...

Check your compliance plate but probably a R150f or R151f

If it's standard car then what gearbox you have will be on your compliance plate, if not then it's a bit harder but still doable.

Once you figure that then Marlin crawler website is always good for tech info like that and usually has the parts needed too as he rebuilds boxes and sells exchange boxes

First decide on your budget then that will tell you what brand to run with, Trail gear overall will be cheaper but Marlin make better stuff so totally up to you. You'll need the Chain to gear drive adaptor to be able to physically bolt up the gear drive transfer. You'll need a top shift conversion ...

Yeah it used to be real common 10 years ago and I personally loved mine. Everybody knew someone with a horror story but that's like anything out of the norm. His is a bit different to mine tho, see how his 3/4 leaf is actually bolted up, that in my mind would make it a lot easier to drop down for ...

Hey Chris, all the comments above are dead right, I just thought I'd say it a bit simpler. All diffs are measured in WMS to WMS, which is Wheel Mount Surface to Wheel Mount Surface which is the mounting face that has your wheel studs and your rim sits hard against. Your std diff will be 1400mm WMS ...

Hi bud, Not sure if you got this sorted yet or not. Can't help with wiring as it's not a swap I've personally done. But as for steering shaft, I would suggest getting one out of an LN106 as th chassis is the same between LN65 and LN106 so steering box will be mounted in same spot, it's only cab ...

The firm pedal is pretty normal until you go bigger calipers again.

Definitely do the V6 calipers as they have 45mm pistons instead of the standard 42mm pistons that you have from factory.

There are other little things you can do as well but that's a good start

Hey Bundy Whether you get the R105 or the R151 is purely up to you as to what ratios you want in 1st and 2nd as that is the only difference. R150f: 1st 3.830:1, 2nd 2.062:1 , 3rd 1.436:1, 4th 1.00:1, 5th 0.838:1 R150f: 1st 4.313:1, 2nd 2.330:1 , 3rd 1.436:1, 4th 1.00:1, 5th 0.836:1 I can't vouch for ...

Hahaha it's all good, I'm doin it to wind him up!

Good news. One thing. How do you run an outlaw class with rego?. Do you check rego papers? Being closer we might be able a few of the local tuff trucks to come do a working bee with your club and test the tracks :) Easy. You put a long arm kit on a patrol means it's an outlaw, you change spring ...

Totally concur with what brad said, it just won't hold up long term bud. My suggestion is while your doing the motor swap change the box as well. Best bet would be an R150 or R151 out of the Surf's, or at the very least a W56. Both have chain drive transfer cases too which unless you need reduction ...

Too easy bud, that answers it perfectly.

Thanking you very muchly!!!

P.s. I like the old bullet

You could do either bud, I've taken them out both ways but you have to take gear sticks off obviously. It's really 50/50 either way. Personally I'd probably do just the engine tho as it just saves having to muck around with driveshafts and crossmember but just remember to hold up the front of the ...

Bit of an update fellas. Since the last post I've located both an R151f and an R452 so happy days!! The R151f I've already picked up and gotten home whereas the R452 is getting bought over next weekend from out west so can't actually start yet but should be a good thing. Ozrunner - thanks for ...

Hey guys, Just a quick question, I'm pretty sure I know the answer but I just wanted someone to reassure me. The bellhousings for diesels in the Gen1 (79-83) VS the diesels in the Gen3 (89-97) do they have the same pattern? Ie: could you put a G52/W56/R151 etc straight onto the Gen1 motor and vice ...

I think you took that a little too seriously

Frikkin awesome!!!! Personally good on you for getting another road registered event happening, stuff the unregoed cars they have enough competitions to compete in, just cause it's a comp doesn't mean you automatically have to cater for unrego!!! See how my circumstances are travelling, you may see ...

Hmmmm that's a bit of a predicament. Haven't seen it so only picturing in my head, but 3 immediate things jump to mind as possible ideas. * Could you outboard the springs a little to drop it down off the perch? * Could you cut in to the diff centre housing directly under the spring perch and lower ...

Any idea which companies were the ones that do that?

Ironically the R box is the weak link in the 1hz 105s and 70s :D Oh really? So it probably is the same then, strong for us, weak for them. Another option might be to get an engineering firm to make up some gears for you, if all you want is the taller 5th and are happy with the other 4 (technically ...

Oldmate you mentined the Safari overdrive replacement gear for the R151? Have you any more info on that? It is still on their website http://www.safarisnorkel.com/turbo/1hz_76/5th_gear.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; But another site: http://forum.ih8mud.com/70-series-tech/345599 ...

Thats awesome bud, thank you. It just seems all too easy, looks like the R151 will be the go, more so for second gear as with the 5.71's i used to take off on the street in 2nd all the time, albeit slight clutch slip if it was hilly and the R151 is slightly lower in 2nd as well so should be even ...

Cheers again for the replies guys, I'm really appreciating the help. It's sounding like the R154 might be worth holding until I pursue the R151 option? Purely due to the bellhousing effort. Although the 0.63 sounds lovely!! I'll definitely give the jap wreckers a go, any idea which are the companies ...
