Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi, I bought my high steer from Trailgear. Yes you do have to weld in the steering box reenforcement. When the aussie dollar was around 89c it cost me under $900 delivered to my door. (Shipping was around $350.) I dont remember any one else offering high steer kits for under 1200 when i wanted to do ...

Heres the link to my hilux. If theres anything else i can help you with feel free to pm me.

Agreed willy, mine was just a toy. Thanks for bringing that up mate.

Hi, i had an yn 67 single cab and it had no power steering. When i did it i bought the crossover steering conversion from trailgear. I then bought an IFS steering box, lines and pump from All 4x4 parts. Then sent that straight to Yuri and he reconditioned the pump and box. Also when i bought the ...

thanks for that will check it out this weekend.

will have to have a look at that.

already thought of that
But sometimes you have to go through.
Thanks for the reply though.

the turbo wont fit unless you get a manifold custom made for it.
The return pipe (i believe) is best run straight into the sump.

I have a 1986 Hilux with a 4y electronic dissy motor. My problem is everytime my alternator sees dirty muddy water it plays up. It is either the brushes get stuck or the external rectifier plays up. Both are brand new. I went through some dirty water today and staight away the charge light came on ...

1986 yn67 lux.4y petrol. 2" spring, 2" body, 33's and i drive to brighton (north side brisbane) everyday from Currimundi on the sunny coast and am averaging 11L/100Ks. But that is straight up and down the highway.
If i pick up a mate in redcliffe then those figures go to apprpx 14L/100ks

hey mick. Ya seen the light :finger: :lol: :lol: The standard tyre size they came out with was 205r16. Maybe 205r15. Can't remember exactly, but i know it was 205's. :? Also what does the plate say on the firewall for your diff ratio. that will tell you the code for it. First number is the gearbox ...

agreed. the springs are stuffed. Get some new ones or maybe reset the old ones.

Don't think in QLd extended shackles can be certified legal

Hey mate, we use to own a 89 hj75 troopy. Speedo used to bounce round a couple of mm too.

Cool. Now i understand it better

Thanks for the input to all.

Firstly do you understand why the Tourque rod is actually fitted?

Sort of.

Just doing a poll to see what other forum members reckon.

As poll states. Are they needed or not?

I don't reckon they are.

Any comments welcome too.

hey mate. I live at Currimundi. I have a 86 lux that is runnin 33's. If you wanna come see, pm me and we can arrange a meet.
Cheers

be careful with going to that higher ratio as i have been told that the diffs are weaker than the 4.875.
I run 33s and have the same truck (yn-67 4y-c) and don't have any probs with the ratios.

most likely place is a wreckers. Try fester at All 4x4 Minden.
Or someone who has a spare hilux lying around.

Mate i got an 86 2.4 petrol with standard gears and diffs and running 33's. Hardly noticed the difference at all. so doubt that it would make that much difference as well apart from scrubbing on the gaurds with the fronts.

mate, just wonderoing how old your rugrats are. My 4 1/2 yr old daughter doesn't have a booster seat in my single cab 86 lux. You can get a safety harness that looks a bit like a 5 point harness for them. that way you don't need to use the shoulder straps. Talk to RACQ or a child saftey seat fitter ...

prob not so much lift as you will be able to get better travel out of them.
You will need to get extended rear shackles to run them and also rear diff will move back 40 ish mm.

remember to have a good look inside both corners of the firewall inside the cab at the top.
Prob check the windscreen rubber as well.
good luck

got a hilux, that has the same problem.
Mine leaks from the firewall in the top seam. prob rust, but need to pull dash out to find it. The last hilux i had had the same thing too. rust in the top seam of the firewall.

i run 33s on my lux and did a 2 inch body to make sure i cleared the rubber. real easy and you can do it in 1/2 a day. Prob easiest option. Also with the adjustable torque rod, i have gone high steer conversion on mine as it was gonna cost me $1000 for the power steering kit alone, but only ended up ...

i got a 60 ltr trailblazer and hasn't missed a beat. even after my 16foot caravan rolled over the top of it and left a hole the size of your head in the van! Mine usually lives on the back of my 4wd even when we are out doing stupid things. Regardless of mud or rain, the fridge is on the back. The ...

might just be easier and safer to get another petrol sender, as i am not to sure about it either.

Check your compliance plate. The first code on the trans axle code is what the gearbox is

Also forgot the radiator top hose will need to be replaced as it is not long enough. I replaced mine with a flexy one from supercheap.

Depending on who you talk to, The clutch line mount needed to be inverted on my petrol one. Not sure about the diesel.
Otherwise most of the stuff on the lux will stretch enough that you don't need to worry about it.
