Outer Limits 4x4 Board

What I did was remove one of the bolts from the spare wheel carrier and using a lathe I drilled a hole through it just big enough to get the wire through. I coated the wire in sikaflex then fed it through the hole. I have had this on the 4B now for a couple years without any problems even with the ...

Thanks for the replys guys.

I eventually drilled a hole through the spare wheel mount and ran it through where you couldn't see it.

I'm about to put a rear work light on the back of my 4B and am trying to figure out how to get power to the outside of the rear door without drilling holes in the panel.

Those of you who have already done this, how have you done it?

No problems.

I don't get on here often but when I do I like to help people out.

Cheers

Have emailed you instructions for latest Patrol which is almost identical to what you have. The only difference is the location of the switch inside the cab.

You could try the genuine nissan alarm, part number B2600VD000AU

They would most likley crack with or without the covers. It is because of the heat in the lamp and the cool temp of the water.

I found this out the hard way after cracking both Hella Ralley 4000's with covers and my headlights on a dark cold night crossing a swollen river.

Thanks mate.

I'm just round the corner in Quality drive!

Hey YankeeDave

What sizes do you have? In looking All I can find is flute length, max dia and min dia. None of the reamers listed were sized in degrees.

Also where abouts are you located?

Does anybody know where I could hire a tapered reamer or have a steering arm hole reamed out in Melbourne? I am building my own high steer arms and need to ream a tapered hole to suit Patrol tie rod end. I have looked at buying a reamer but it is going to cost over $150.00 and that's a bit too much ...

Go for it!!

There is pleanty of clearance so rubbing won't be an issue. most likley you will have 4.88 diff gears so you won't notice a loss power.

Just wondering Madmont if you had to get the shaft rehardened after you did the machining on it? If so who did it and was it expensive?

Hey Madmont

How did you shorten and re-spline your output shaft? Did you do it or did you get someone to do it for you??

I'm about to make my own adaptor to put Hilux transfer case behind a Holden Trimatic and it will follow along the same lines as what you have done.

!!

Your weak point will be your axles.

I chose to go to Patrol axles but it has been a lot of work and dollars

Hilux stuff is cheep in the for sale section here so just drive it until something goes BANG then fix it.

Here is a pic of my hanger. It ended up being 50mm forward and 70mm lower. The only prob I have found is that I had to hack a heap out of the radiator support panel to get the steering box forward enough to align the steering rod. Note: On this pic you wil notice that the spring mounting points are ...

I second that! I have used GJ Drivelines a heap of times and they have been great. They are good on price and are deliver on time.

Hi shark1e I have access to the European Fast cataloge which is the parts catalogue for your vehicle so I may be able to help you out. I tried putting your Vin in but it didn't accept it. I know in australia all our Vin's are 17 charactures long but unsure of your Vin's. Can you check and confirm ...

Thanks for that.

I'll load pics elsewhere and link to them.

Hey what's to go with image attachment now. I went to attach one and I don't have that option box any more [/img]

I have looked up the parts catalogue and the diff in question fits an R50 Pathfinder. It's spec is H233B 2 pinnion with 48/11 which means a ration of 4.363. Looking at the Patrol catalogue the only difference between it and the R50 is the Patrol has a 4 pinnion H233B diff. I don't know if the two ...

Thanks for the info Daryl I'll look into this but I'm not sure if it will suit my application. I intend to run dual case which increases the drivetrain length by about 6 inches. This along with the distance required for the drive shaft between the trans and t/case may make the drivetrain too long ...

I would like to adapt a trimatic auto to a gear driven hilux transfer case. The reason for this is I have already got a holden V8 engine that is trimatic pattern and want to put this in the Hilux. I know I can get an adaptor to go to turbo pattern but I'm trying to keep costs down. Does anybody sell ...

Below is a link to a dealer that would sell parts online. The part number you require is A6575-VB001A and has a list price of $280 AU.

If you have trouble getting one I could send one over for you. Just PM me if you need help.


Cheers

I got it fron Nissan here in Australia.

I only just noticed that you are from Texas in the USA. I know that the GU Patrol that it came off was not sold in the USA so you may have trouble tracking one down.

You may be able to buy one online from a Nissan dealer in Australia.

Check out my 79 Lux in the thread below. I fitted a genuine GU Patrol snorkel to it. It fits so well that when Love_Mud came over and looked at it he couldn't believe it wasn't meant for a Toyota. I have since changed the "Nissan" emblem for a "Toyota" one and you wouldn't know it a Nissan product ...

Thanks Hypolux

Thanks for the info Hypolux.

Is there anything that you can advise me to do or not to do as I'm starting this weekend to put the Patrol axles under the lux.

BTW I'm still trying to find out how much wider than std your hanger is. I've worked out that I need another 120mm in the width.

Hypolux

From you comment I take it that it was quite difficult to fit the axle using leafs. Was the end result worth it or would you go a 5 link if you did it again. Also, how much wider was your spring hanger than std?

I don't want to highjack this thread but I'm in the process of putting GU axles under a lux using leaf springs not coils. I read somewhere on here in the past about the dropped hanger Hypolux made for his rig and how he made it wider than standard to accept the Patrol axles. I've searched for the ...
