Outer Limits 4x4 Board

All ARB bars are designed around the Warn and Bushranger range of winches. In having said that the V6 diesel is somewhat different to the rest, but from memory a Mean Mother winch fits these bars.

I ended up making my own, they just bolt around the chassis. These are for a LWB but this design could also be adapted. http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs226.snc1/7331_148203124519_500854519_2455737_5430554_n.jpg http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs206.snc1/7331_148203139519 ...

Interesting, as I checked mine against a few GPS's too...

Petes Paj- Sounds like you have an Escape model, yours may or may not be the same but my NL Escape read about 5% over (i.e. 100km/h indicated was actually 95km/h) with the stock tyres. Now since upgrading to the 31's the speedo is reading about 1% under (100km/h indicated and 101km/h actual). Hope ...

Yeah to be honest I'm not expecting much, just thought a quick flush might do something. Will be putting in some good oil afterwards, was thinking either Fuchs or Penrite.

Well ended up putting the oil in it, if I don't notice a difference I'll try the engine flush. Am not expecting much after 190K's on it.

Thanks

Cheers Steve,

By cleanse I meant more of a flush. Do you think you will be able to notice a difference after running the diesel oil through it?

Hey Guys, Has anyone ever used diesel oil in a V6 petrol to give the engine a bit of a cleansing? A mate recommended to run some diesel oil for a 1000km's or so to give the engine a bit of a flush which should hopefully quieten the lifters down too. I know diesel engine oil has a high detergent ...

Slighlty off topic here, but has anyone tried the Maxxis Trepadores in a 31'? The only reason I ask is becuase I was originally planning on getting the Bighorns but can get a set of Treps for only a few dollars more.
How do they Trepadores go for wear?

Bit late I know, but I just put some 15x7's (off a Navara) and there is about 2mm clearance between the rim and the caliper. Not sure if my escape has the upgraded brakes or not (it's a '99) but there is not much clearance at all.

McGyver- They are exactly the same, was more wondering bout the ideal focus pattern off them, because as you screw them out you get a 'dark centre' so was wondering whether the best way of focussing is to have one a little wider/open and the other pointing inside the 'dark centre'... P.S. Sorry ...

Cheers Scott, that makes sense, guess i'l keep hunting around then...

Mousie- Could be the Photo News, they had a couple of pages for the challenge in it. If you like i'll have a hunt around for it, hopefully someone hasn't thrown it out...

I've got the 180 Roo Lites, they're not too bad a light actually and I paid $230 for them in Canberra. The only 'problem' i have is that i'm undecided on the best way to focus the beam, it's pretty close to being wound most of the way in (spot beam) but still has a really wide range. How has eveyone ...

Had a crack at it this arvo, but could not for the life of me get the front diff or gearbox drain/fill plugs off and that's after spraying them with a very liberal dosing of WD40. Will have to go get something for it tomoroow, any suggestions? Also, when you fill the tranny/diffs/gearbox you just ...

Well at the moment i've got 15x6's so just thinking i may just get some 15x7's and a nice set of tyres. Was just wondering if there was any other particular reason for going 16's, but at this point in time i think i'm leaning towards the 15's primarily due to price...

Cheers for the replies, will get into it this arvo, will let you know how it all goes.

Is there any advantage of a 16x8 over a 15x7? Reason i ask is because i can't seem to find any 16x8's second hand and new they're around $125 compared to $65 for the 15's plus i've got a spare 15 that i can use saving me from getting 5 new ones...

It's because i currentyl have 6" wheels. Will have to hunt around for some pajero/patrol rims now...

Cheers,

The ST's and MTZ's were on the list too although i thought they'd be a bit exxy...how much are the ST's roughly worth?

Is there a difference between the Pajero and Patrol rims i.e. offset? If so is it detrimental at all?

Hey Lads, Sorry about all the questions tonight. Recently been thinking about new suspension and tyres, thought getting tyres would be the better option as there's no point having greater flex/comfort if you can't get the traction. But this is where i have a slight dilemma. The type of driving i do ...

Hey lads, I have a '99 NL Escape which is coming up for its 170,000km service. It's currently got about 168K on it and (unfortunately) i'm driving around 700km's a week so hopefully i'll be doing this next week. I only got it at 162K. Now my question is: should i do all the oils now i.e. motor ...

I have a '99 GLX and in the handbook it says there is 11L when the light comes on...

Hey Lads, Just bought a stock '99 NL Escape...stock as a rock apart from a bull bar. Now it's time to finally hit the dirt :D http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/pp345/GOONBERRY/DSCN1151-1.jpg http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/pp345/GOONBERRY/DSCN1149.jpg http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/pp345 ...

Well after reading up on the lifter noise it seems its not too much of an issue and i think the price was pretty good too...so now i own a '99 NL Escape

Thanks to all you guys for your help too!

It does have a service history, well it's stamped so i'm presuming it's been done. Regarding the lifters, when i first started it from cold there was a slight ticking noise but it disappeared after a few mins. I put it down to not being driven for a while...is that a big problem or will it sort ...

Thanks crh, Well i can get it off the dealer for $8500 but will try for 8K and see what he says. He is also giving a 3 month/5,000km warranty with it too which covers absolutely everything and there is no dollar amount on it, which i will be getting in writing as well. Is there anything else i ...

Cheers lads,

So that sounds like it's not too bad hey...will have another look at it this weekend if i get time.
How much do you reckon a rig like this is worth?

Hey Guys, I think i've found the one...maybe, i have done a bit of a search but can't seem to find any specifics about any of the pajero's regarding issues and things to look out for when buying. I've found a 1999 NL Escape model with 165,000Km's, manual, few scratches but nothing bad, most tools ...

Not really the best way to do it, but what i do is lock the drivers door, so when i jump out and the door is locked i know my lights are still on...
