Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I'm hoping to keep the airbox I have but once I get the intercooler in there I may need to run the snorkle mounted type. I want to run either a 450/500/600 x 300 x 76 top mounted & when I turn the compressor housing I reckon I will be running short of room. http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii35 ...

I ran a k&n on top of my 4" snorkel. It was tapered, I can find the part no if you want

It will be both as it gets driven around regularly.

I found a K&N RD1460 that looks like it will do the job, just worried about the filtration qualities it has.

Found this fella. Reckon it would be suitable?

I will make a shield for it to keep the rain/weather off.

Still open to other ideas though....

Looking to free up some room in the engine bay & wanted to mount a filter to the top of my 4" stainless snorkle. It's on a comp truck so will need to be of a good quality. Any pics or part nos, etc would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jaz.

Have a look at the below ol mate.

no 06 was the update and they are pulling really good money second hand, 60 plus grand. fuel economy is around the 10/100, that is unreal for a near 3tonne wagon. im keen on this model but hear the hydraulic suspension is a pain.. lop sided and towing, hard to set the vehicle up level I'ive got an ...

G'Day All, I have a 4.6mt ally runabout that I want to tidy up a bit before I sell it. At the moment it is just plain old weathered ally that has never seen paint. Just wanting to know if there is a paint/product (in white) out there I can spray or roll straight over the hull with minimal ...

Titan & 604.



You know about the wastegate or the atmospheric sensor adjustments?

I'll stop hijacking now....

My old Titan had 520 on the ground out of a 3406E 550 driving through 2 boxes & double reduction planetaries. Keep the Cat

Jaztaz do they rev to 2600 reliably? I seem to recall 2100 is standard? Is all that's needed the bigger squirters? Any idea what gains you get and fuel usage? Currently bout 15t gets 3ish to the litre of a 6 speed box........... Geez an overdrive would be nice too :D Don't quote me on this as I'm a ...

100mm squirters & 2600RPM??

Do you mean splice the loop around the drum or splice a loop in the line then choke it around the drum?

From what I've observed crimp on eyelets are next to useless with synthetic rope. That's what I would have thought as the wraps around the drum do most of the securing. How about though, drill the end out of a lug then run the rope through it doubled-up? If there was any load to go onto the lug ...

G'Day All, Just wondering what is the best way to secure synthetic rope to a hi mount drum. Do you crimp on a ferrule the same as steel rope, pass the rope through the hole & let the wraps of rope around the drum do the job, or a combination of both? Why I ask is that I have found 50mts of 12mm ...

My VDJ79 did a lot of towing from new & got driven normal to hard the whole time. Got around 17lts/100k up until 50k (also on 35s with a 5" lift) then dropped to around 13lts/100k (33s with a 2" lift), gearbox also freed up around this time. Uses no more than 1 lt of oil in 10k service interval ...

Wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole.

Far too many horror stories from that mob, experienced & witnessed.

Ok, thanks mate.

Would you be able to tell me where the venue, Cathu State Forest is please as I have just moved into the area. Tried google maps but did no good.

Would love to come out for a look.

Here is the ARB commercial high mount bar with under radiator protection plate for my 79 GXL, hope you can get what you want out of the photos. http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii35/jaztazpara/025.jpg http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii35/jaztazpara/P1010023.jpg http://i260.photobucket.com ...

Roller nose bars do tend to split if you don't do the right thing by them, stick with a solid (bull nose) bar, you can keep them tidy a lot easier & they are more reliable.

Most important, do a course in chainsaw usage. They don't cut you, they remove flesh from your body when they bite. Get some cut-proof trousers as a minimum & learn how to sharpen it properly as the rakers aren't always your friend. Have seen lots of horrific injuries, even by very experienced ...

Anything with Stihl written on it. I used Stihls religiously when I used to fall hardwood in Tassie for a living & never had any dramas, even with warranty issues. Tried Huskies & thought they were a bit fragile & their warranty sucked. Still have an 044 that is 16yrs old & going just as good as the ...

I have 2 mates up here that spent between 20-25K each on 6.5 conversions (done by a WA mob south of Perth) & they both reckon it was a complete waste of money. Use way too much fuel, one dropped a valve (supposedly rebuilt engine before conversion by said WA mob) after 8000ks, starter motor rubbing ...

Maybe an Isuzu (or something comparable) 4 or 5tn light truck. Ramps on the back & racks for all the gear.

Without looking into schematics, would I be right to assume that if you used a closed centre orbital valve you could run a switchable front/rear/both steer arrangement like a Pettibone, Manitou, etc?

Have airbags in my VDJ 79 & they work well.

Don't want a ute?...

Caterpillar 3208 (N/A 175hp, turbo 210-250hp) & 6spd Spicer or 9 spd Road Ranger, although IMO an Allison 6spd auto would be great.

mine has 46000ks on it now, no probs at all other than being a bit thirsty.

Here's mine,
