Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey guys, thanks for all your suggestions.

Yep - I checked all joints & wiring, isolated each feed etc, even made a new earth back to chassis - no change.
Like Leeroy said, it must be a thing that some cars just do.

Fitting a 21w load resistor works perfectly and in this case removing the symptom ...

Hi guys,

No brake controllers, nothing else.

It's just a Jap ute. When I installed the tray I cut the light wires before the plugs (so old tub was easy to install for new owner).

I did have problem with the horn recently. It came on all by itself, was a dodgey relay. Maybe this is something along ...

G'day.

Brake Lights are always on, but dim!

Much brighter when brake pedal is pushed, nothing to do with tail lights.

Have just swapped out old school taillight packs from trayback with new LED kits. It seems there is a small amount of current in the brake light circuit, even though the 'car is ...

Trading Post, Wheels & Parts etc, type in Challenger??
You'll get a list of the wreckers who have stock on hand.

No reason. As suspected they are indeed interchangable...

Howdy gang.

Can anyone here today give any reason why a FRONT DRIVERS Brake Caliper from a 2005 GLX-R would not lawfully fit a 2002 GLS?
They both have the exact same wheels as standard, the only difference is the GLX-R has ABS.

I can't get a part locally, need to have it shipped so just trying to ...

Hi there,

Regarding 'something else', I had a bit of noise (odd clunk not directly related to road undulations etc) coming from the front end of my 2001 MK. I temporarily removed the swaybar and the noise disappeared completely. I replaced outer swaybar bushes which appeared quite worn and while ...

What makes drum brakes emit a squeal - under light pressure only, not heavy braking?

I pulled the outer drums off and blew out a heap of brake dust - they still squeak but not as badly. Should I have roughed the pads up a bit?
(Plenty of material left)


Ta,

Hardy

Yep - British Off Road.
They've quite a nice array of Landies in the back paddock, many a ripe for the picking of bits 'n' pieces.

What about a Tablet PC?

I've got two of 'em - they cost me more than I'd sell 'em for - not factoring in time spent working out way to re-install OS.
One is PII 500mhz 64MB W2000 other is PIII 600mhz 128 MB XP1 both w/ 15GB HDD
$330 & $550 respectively.
Old School but compact, cheap AND THEY HAVE ...

Want air? - Yeh Yeah!

I have pdf specs sheets on mine:

Arnotts Inc:
http://www.arnottindustries.com/

Aussie dollar has changed a bit since I last updated site, could probably do slightly better pricing...

Hardy

Yep, that would be the Arnotts GenIII's

Lots of travel, nice and strong, lifetime warranty.
Dual spring rate - FREEWAY versus OFFROAD settings, as per the EAS.

They're designed for P38a (MkII) Rangies - top and bottom cap/piston fittings feature a 'D' shape knob, secured by an 'R' pin.
It would be ...

Hmmm, usually only 35psi.
I might experiment with your idea of 45psi, see what happens - Ta.

Caterpillar tracks are good. I usually only deflate on sand when the 'de-bogging' of some lesser vehicle is required...


Hardy

Had the Maxxii for about 4 months now, so wear is neglible.

Very rare size, especially in a mud pattern.
Price was great - about $225 ea I think.

All round performance is just fine.
Grip in the bush is dandy, better than any other tyre I've had.
Rocks haven't bothered them, not like the Cooper S/T ...

You decide...

Look, this may sound stupid but how about lining the new ply box with egg cartons?
It's the 'baffle factor' that counts. Shunt the sound waves around until they dissapate into nothing.

Or even that lumpy foam you see in fancy camera boxes.
That stuff used entirely inside the enclosure would work ...

Howdy,

Would anyone know what air pressure these shocks require for each setting?
Has anyone already made their own in-cab kit?


Thanks,

Regarding model variances, check this out:

http://www.rangerovers.net/modelspecs/


Regarding electrical reliabilty in general, the 98's were better than the 95,96 & 97's but the 99's on were much better again, due to input from Bosch / BMW. You still get the odd stupid problem though.

Aftermarket ...

If the EAS Rangie Compressors are anything to go by then answer to filling tyres would be NO, not really.
They have a 10L (approx) reservoir, fine for pumping a bicycle tyre or running a locker provided you have a regulator of some sort (set between 80-105 PSI)
4WD Tyres - would take WAAAYYY too ...

Another consideration is the NOISE !!

I have mine in the boot - the area beneath the load space where the spare tyre was, mounted with 8 (4x2) springs - all isolated with rubber and plastic, no metal on metal.

This location muffles the noise a little but you can still hear it REVERBERATING through ...

If you do buy a regulator - buy a good one.
SMC have nice little in-line jobbies, about $50.
Good quality locking rings, accurate and they don't leak!

While you're there, pick-up some other bits like push-in T-pieces, gauges etc and see if you can get some spare line.

You'll need a gauge to set ...

Have a look at this site, go to the gallery and check out the bobtail P38a - it has a body lift. Maybe send them an email, see if they give you some info.

Ricks 4WD, Nerang - 5596 6662.

Rick is the man - worked at MD back when they did servicing/fitting (Key 4WD)

He doesn't do the actual diff lapping himself but will take care of the install, hands tied. Just take a number, wait in line. They're usually booked out 4 weeks in advance.

He looked ...

Did you talk to Bilstein in Moorooka (Fulcrum) or Bilstein in Sydney?

I found Sydney mob rather helpful. I've been working on long travel Bilsteins shocks to go with my air suspension mods for the Rangies. They do charge for modifying standard shocks - the starting point, which is fair enough. It'd ...

Body Lift should be pretty straight forward - all various components look neatly tucked and separate.

But not only do I not know of anyone who's actually done one, I don't actually think it's necessary. I'm mean all that weight up high.
You can fit 33" with a suspension lift, which is more ...

I don't know much about tracing circuts etc, but I'm assuming you've got a P38a? (95-02 RR)

Do you have testbook icon on HEVAC display?

Have you tried swapping relays 6 & 7 around, even using an another yellow relay from something that's not being used?


Hardy

Yep - 1999 on is the go, as long as it's an XA series (last 2 letters before last 6 numbers in the VIN) WA's aren't too bad really.

Yep - I've got a bit of stuff, although need to update my website a bit.
GenIII Airsprings are the go. Good 2 stage profile for on/off road ride, good travel at the ...

I got mine in, just.


I set it up not just for tyres etc but as a primary supply for the EAS (LR Air Suspension) each on their own air circuts. A solenoid valve on the old compressor power line feeds already compressed air into the system from the tank in the boot.

I couldn't get any 35A fuses ...
