Outer Limits 4x4 Board

After 10 Glorious years of ownership I am finally letting go of my '92 NH Shorty Jabber ........but don't despair I didn't jump the fence - I stuck with Mitsubishi and splashed out on an ML triton, 2008 model 3.2ltr turbo diesel.

For anyone that is interested in a highly capable weekender it's up ...

You always did drive like a girl though Frank - too afraid to spill your drink.

Add some carwlers gears to that and you can DRAG the smiles from their faces

Head down to Toyota and get a tube of the replacement oil for the fan coupling - remove the fan from the vehicle, dismantle the coupling and get rid of all the old fluid inside - replace with the new tube of oil and reassemble and refit.

I chases an overheating problem for ages and this solved it ...

By memory it was one of his mates who fitted yours Scott - I borrowed your old case and fitted them at home with some help from my "old man" then gave Frank my old case.

It's kinda like a little lurve triangle we had going :D

If you can get your hands on another case it makes a world of ...

tray or ute?

Would also love to do this.

Lots of photos please.

I second the starter motor not releasing quick enough - remove it and give it a clean; it's not a hard job.

Have a late 92 model tj auto (low k's) - have to say it is mighty nice to drive.

Had a drive a couple of years back of a manual and was not impressed at all ( that's not to say it was a good example).

For onroad driving I really enjoy the auto - for offroad (not in the same car - non jeep ) I ...

no way ..... it's about the only thing that still works (I think)

Your mate has an antenna growing out of his head....watch out that it does not get caught in trees - that would hurt.

Welcome him to the family.

I run Motul Oils to the book specs - not cheap.

As for the sender dying - it's brand new.... and the one before that was brand new aswell.

It just anoys me that it registers a pressure then dies off.

Not the only - I have Franks' old one.

Just to give a general idea of how far out it is at normal driving position.

I have a similar problem with the oil pressure switch/guage not working.

I am 100% certain that I have good pressure and nothing is internally wrong as the motor is still fresh after being rebuilt.

When starting the car the oil pressure guage in the dash comes to about half way then after a couple ...

Bit of a rehash of an old thread here - but has anyone have any luck finding an off the shelf spacer since this post was first created?

Was looking at mine today to track down an oil leak which was coming from the output shaft seal and noticed how far out the prop shaft is sitting (approx 50mm). I ...

This is absolutely 100% correct ...... centipedes will cause all breakages.

Use any other tyre and you will be fine...

+ the needle bearings in the rear of the discs if you wish to go this far.

My opinios is ......if you are replacing them anyway do the whole lot (mine fell out and were shattered beyond recognition - needle bearings that is)

Best to spend the money on the gears before the treads.

Borrowed a mates 35's a couple of years back and put them on the shorty..........yes they look cool and you sound like a small aircraft at high speed but it is shiiiiit offroad if you are playing semi serious. Runs away downhill and uphill you ...

Upper control arms - can be removed, cleaned, regreased and reinstalled.

I generally have to do this annually or when it becomes to annoying to ignore.

Will you paint the springs pretty blue in this one aswell Dean?

Put a bid on it but it went a bit high for me aswell.

Would have been a nice addition but in the end would still require more money to be spent to get the whole setup operational. As it stands the motor in my car is worth more to me than the car itself if I was to sell it (after two rebuilds and ...

And thats coming from you Andrew - you're the definition of scary driving

front wheel bearings ??

yep - go the front locker..............it will get you to more situations where you will need the bar and winch ..........and then you can justify the $$$

I'll have one for it tonight

I had four last night in memory and think I will double it tonight to appease (spelling ??) the Jabber gods.

R.I.P. (not pieces) Jabber 01.

I have and will always stand by the ranchos - they have been great for about the last 5 years (not cheap but in my opinion worth the money)

One thing to watch is the diameter of the base of the shock - if you get "good" articulation or use the car for "decent" offroading the shock does/will foul ...

AWWWWW..... Frank......

Sell the Kids...not the car !!

This hurts - I've seen how much you have put into this car (sheet - I own half the original parts so I should know)

Willing to freight to "Shitney".

Check the main shaft of your idler arm is not bent.

Mine had the same problem with the steering wheel being out of whack all the time - the idler arm assembly was the cause.

Killer Caterpillar.......

Hard to tell but it looks like it's got a "spring over" rear end....?????
