Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Best of luck to all. Murray, Julie and the 2 kids can't make it this time as we will be in Alice Springs by the time the weekend rolls around. Hope to be back in time for the next GPS competition. See you then.

That's strange mick, I've never seen that happen before. The rim protector is outside the tyre's bead, so unless you were getting lots of dirt or sticks caught between the rim and the bead I don't see how it could happen. Anyway, I'm not here to argue with you, everyone to their own opinion. As for ...

It goes between the 2 filler / oil level bungs. When the seal between them is shot, the oil pumps from the transfer to the gearbox. As the gearbox fills up the oil runs out of the gearbox level hole back to the transfer case. A little bit of oil will run back to the transfer when you go up a really ...

For this sort of stuff I can recommend Redlands 4WD Centre, 30 Steel Street Capalaba 4157 3823 3990 http://www.redlands4wd.com.au/.

Talk to Peter Kitchin, if there is a problem he can find it. Peter looks after touring 4WDs as well as Competition Rigs. He himself competes in off road events.

I just put some on the back of my 100 series. I went to clark rubber and got some 6mm x 300 mm wide insertion rubber of the roll by the metre. 300 is the widest they have. It's about $42.00 a metre but it works well, the mudflaps that I put on the 60 series are still fine after 10 years.

Thanks for the tips. Appreciated.

I have some major re-wiring to do. I want to control some of my wiring by relay ( the small square Bosch ones). I have occasionally seen mounting sockets for these relays that can be bolted to the firewall, quards etc. This would mean that to replace a relay I just have to unplug it and replace it. ...

Hi All, I have a 60 series with Maxxis Mudders on, so I can compare tyres. I could also be accused of being biased, as apart from the Maxxis on the 60, I have been running BFG Muddies since 1990. Anyway - Original MTs. Took a set to the Cape on a re-built 1975 FJ40 with a fibreglass body. I agree wi...

Gidday Hosie, I answer your question without all of the $HIT that goes along with it. I'll just answer your question honestly with my opinion. I have a 60 series with Maxxis Mudders on as well, so I can compare tyres. I could also be accused of being biased, as apart from the Maxxis on the 60, I hav...

Hi Stirlo,

It'll only be me and Julie-Anne this weekend to marshall. Rhiannon has to work and Ryan has had a better offer involving an XBox, so we'll be up there childless (woo-hoo!)

I bought my camper trailer with independent coil suspension from a place called Streamline Trim at Beerwah. He is an agent for a trailer manufacturer on the Sunshine Coast and he does the canvas work. He is on the corner of Steve Irwin Way and Roys Road (I think) in a small indusrial estate. The guy...

The switch in in the upper tailgate. it is part of the catch / central locking mechanism. Just open up the inspatcion plates in the upper tailgate and look for the wires, they are the only ones up there.

I put the VMX into my 60 series and I couldn't believe how notchy it became! I tried a couple of other grades and have come back to 80/90!

I have had extractors on both a 2F and 3F and they are different. As indicated above, they look similar, but the bolt pattern is slightly different and the base of the extractors will probably sit well below the chassis line. I have never had a problem getting extractors for my 3F, and as my 60 is 2...

As far as I know the chassis dimensions for a 105 series are the same as an 80 series. Just remenber that the 105 is a larger, heavier vehicle so the lift may be a bit harsh on an 80. Most lift kits are suited to a particular vehicle, I know that mine was designed specifically for the load that I ca...

congratulations!!!!!!!

All the best to you and family from the marshals from the SSS.

heard LCMP got hit pretty bad last night. Don't care about the weather, still coming up for the comp. Hope everyone is OK, see you this afternoon.

Hi Guys. We will be up again to help out with marshaling again. See you all up there. Good Luck to all !!!!!

PS. Hey Jacko I am still getting the dirt out of my shorts from the hill you drove on the last SSS! Looking forward to seeing more.

I called him on his mobile the other night! It worked fine!!!!

I'll be there on the weekend (got to see MMM take his medicine).

Cheers

Look at the TJM ProLocker. It's a licence-built McNamara locker. I have them in my 105 series and they are nearly unbreakable! They have an actuator inside the diff that is seperate to the actual diff mechanicals, so it won't leak oil like an Airlocker and is easy to replace if it ever plays up.

I have over 300,000 on my 3F engine in a 1985 FJ62 Wagon. Never any problem with the camshaft gears.

The MC on the orange 40 series above is the model used in Australia between 1975 - 79 on early model boosted brakes with 2 wheel cylinders per wheel set up in a leading shoe - trailing shoe configuration. Proportioning is done internally in the MC via a spring separation between the 2 pistons. This ...

I have....................damn, never gunna get that image out of my head!

Anyway, roll on September, we'll be there again all week to watch.

Hell, I've had mine forever. I have a 1985 FJ62 with a 3F motor. Watch out for rust in the inside of the "A" pillar and around the roof line just above the gutter, especially at the back. Otherwise, bloody reliable truck. I also have a 100 series but can't bear to ger rid of the old bus, i...

I'll add my 2 cents. When I did my 60's front hubs up I also replaced all the seals. If you replaced the main rear hub seals (the ones that you hammer into the back of the hub itself) they run on the base of the spindle. When they are new they are a very tight fit and can give you more than the reco...

I've got an Opposite Lock twin carrier on the back of my 105 Series and it's bomb-proof. I reckon that I wouldn't have any plastic bumper left by now without it. It has hi-lift mounts built in to the sides and no plastic bits, all steel. The catches are simple over centre clips, low-tech but never f...

What's wrong with a 3F??? Reliable as all hell, mine still goes fine in my 60 series. A bit thirsty, but still good!
