Outer Limits 4x4 Board

the first step of vehicle modification is knowing WTF you own.

An Asia motors Rocksta is not a Jeep, it is as far from a Jeep a sponge is to a hospital patient, they may touch each other briefly but thats about as far as it goes.

Swampers and transfer cases are sooooo 2010, next years tuff trucks will have a bit more of a high tech advantage



combustion engines are a thing of the past with these

I needed extra oil of olay with skin repair after lifting those babies!

sure the oil of olay's not for self pleasure?


They don't weigh that much.

I'm interested

If you're a fat bastard like me Sam, a Defender is too bloody uncomfortable :x :x the seats are narrow, I don't like the idea of being wedged up against the door and the bloody handbrake is just awful to drive with.

I drove a couple of defenders, no thanks I like my Rangie classic.

The engine also came out in the diesel Jeep Cherokee


Prick of an engine from the 3 I have seen.

If you have a very thick rim centre with double the amount of wheelnut holes each second hole having the taper on the opposing side. Sounds to much like hard work.

WTF is a BOR? Good luck with the sale. :armsup:

Everyone knows what BOR is. There was a very informative post on it not long ago. Good pics explaining it all too. If you dont know what BOR is your probably one of these old touring/caravaning types in which case you might find this forum a little ...

[onsidering a few good mates have rangies/landies, With out spending a shit load of money to get arb/maxi drive lockers, better cvs, better axles etc, There drive line is shit, There on like there 8+ centres, Ones went gq diffs to stop the troubles, The other one sold the pos.

And for bringing my ...

Yeah Range Rover and strength shouldn't be used in the same sentence.
Probably work out cheaper in the long run to get an 80 or a poorol.
80's are nice and are heaps comfy but heaps dearer.
Every man and his dogs had a gq, Parts are easy, And when you doing gnarly 4x4ing, thats what you want. Easy ...

OK if you say so

mainly for offroad ability and drive line strength... both 80 series and range rover will require engineering ... i wanted to stay with the lux body because i like the look better and it is lighter than the other bodies

someone used Range Rover and driveline strength in the ...

so do you think that the range rover chassis would be just as good as the 80 series?


For what? Wank value, off road ability, on road handling, strength?

Mounting a Toyo body on a Toyo chassis would probably be easier due to the posibilty of common parts and body mounts between the two vehicles ...

what do you mean bad on the coils?

cheers for the ideas fellas. i know the left caliper works cause iv tested it. there are no leaks or anything. didn't touch brake line so i no that i haven't lost pressure in it. so thats not the problem. probably just need to wear down the surface rust on the disc and should b fine. ill drive it ...

Surely there must be some nationally accredited engineering signatories? Even if they were twice the price you'd still be making a profit

I spoke to Vicroads before i went ahead with the purchuse, and all i had to do was get a rwc and change the reg over to Vic rego, is was very straight forward.

Grant.

IMHO thats all that should need to be done nationally.

If my legally engineered vehicle crosses the border from NSW to any other state due to the paperwork not being recognized my registration and insurance becomes nil and void?

What other names could the hypothetical vacuum could be called.

Grimaces suck hole?
Grimaces worm hole portal of death?
mum?

Would you be interested in a joint project, with our chassis and your ...

It would be interesting to see how the mega flex system work with our prototype silicone injected chassis rail system. I was discussing your product with my associate and design partner and we are considering a purchase of your system For R&D. Our problem is we are not sure how well the two systems ...

That is just plain wrong. LMAO

I wonder how many trees were harmed in the making of that Jpeg?

Yes it was an adventurous journey.

It's not that they were or were not hardcore, I know of a few older blokes who did similar things back then, I think it's more that the world has gone to soft.

Dependant on what model you drive and what size tank is fitted you usually have about 9l left when the low fuel light illuminates


There is your new fuel gauge, I have known of someone using a piece of dowel in the tank on there series.

Gauges are not that much.

I'd say your sender unit has ...

Try pressing this button, it is the master control for the CC, if the LED illuminates you may have cruise control

Hmmm, maybe you could fab the mount slightly up and over the swivel something along the lines of how Stinkyfab did this coilover mount.

Slunnie, it's porno.

The old Long Range Patrol Vehicles had motorbikes mounted sideways across the back, so some trail bikes will fit. Bolt on extentions to the rear crossmember may be an option but it would block back door access into the vehicle. the spare could be mounted on a roof rack.

I love my isuzu powered 110 and wouldn't want to drive anything else. Will be even better when I have finished fitting the turbo.

A mate over here bought one a while back. On a recent 4x4 trip, he sais his brand new D3 has just sat in the garage since he has bought the isuzu 110. He prefers ...
