Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I'd be interested...been looking for a boss kit for my rangie as I want to change the wheel for a smaller one.

I'll buy it on the proviso I get my money back if it dont fit....

Angus

Both are very tough tyres, the Simex and more commonly used down here in VIc for the sloppy stuff, but the swampers are good too. Personally I run 35 x 10.5 pedes and I find them better for mud as being thinner they cut through the mud better. When it comes to it though...it comes down to cost and ...

Engine mounts? Transmission mounts?

Angus

Nice...cant wait to see how it turns out. Keep posting!

Nah I dont think its worth that much. Its a two door and youve taken the goodies off it. I got mine for $8k and it came with F&R lockers, jacmac axles, lift, winch etc etc etc.

Its worth about $2.5-3 I think...

Angus

Depends on the tyres I guess. Check the manufacturer details as they will recommend the minimum rims width...

Angus

Also check wheel bearings. They wont cause major issues, but I tightened mine up and it improved things a bit.

Angus

I had a bad head shake in my classic rangie. After replacing all bushes panard, radius arm still did not fix it. Ended up being swivel hub preload was not right. :x

Yep, check your preload and also your steering dampener. Also, have a look at your wheel bearings...they might need tightening ...

You could also check out the TJ Jeep ones...Ive seen them fitted to a defender before.

Angus

Yeah I have been in touch with Bill, very helpful guy. He really took the time to respond to my emails.

I am thinking of getting the new 4.14s he has. They bolt straight in and are supposed to be even stronger than the 4.11 due to a lower and coarser tooth count. I can get these for around $1000 ...

Hi All

I am wanting to get some 4.11s for the rangie, but apparently there is a backlog with Ashcroft so I cant get any through Rovacraft for a while.

Anyone know of any other good suppliers that have them for a reasonable price? If there are any other brands from the States Im happy to look ...

You guys are going to hate me, but the bank (on which I was relying on for the loan) isnt playing ball for a while. Im going to have to pull out as I can commit to it now.

Big sorry guys..

Angus

Hey all

The bank is stuffing around. Will take a little bit longer. Sorry to delay you guys as this has been going for a while...

Angus

GUys

I will pay as soon as I can, but I am waiting for the bank to sort out a loan. Its in their hands at the moment.

Will try to get it done asap. Still tossing up whether I got for 30% with 4.11's or just whack in 49% gears.

Hmm...

Angus

Yeah gearbox seemed fine. No shuddering. A bit notchy getting into 2nd gear, but that was only at first...it warmed up and was fine. My Disco does the same.

Yeah it was a hardtop and has been converted. I dont think it has an engineers report though.

Ok, so I went to look at a nice green 94 300Tdi today. I looking at doing it up just for hard trips.

It was advertised as a ute, but it turns out it was what the seller calls a "panel van" which means its likely a hardtop thats been converted to a ute. The long roof, windscreen and ute side all ...

Cheers Jamie. I will give them a call during the week and work out whats possible.

Cheers

Angus

Hmm...I guess MR could keep a hold of mine until Im ready to send them the shaft out of my tc.

Angus

Whats the chances of selling my intermediate shaft for the same money if I get them to modify one of theirs?

I just dont really wan the landy out of action while I wait for it.

Angus

Ok will do. I dont actually own the vehicle these would go into. Its a 110 single cab ute.

How would I find out what type intermediate shaft I have? If Im not ready to pull it out just yet, can I get them to make up the gears on a replacement shaft? Do I need to get under and work out the serial ...

Hey Guys

I am interested! Cant pay the deposit until next week though...and who do I pay?

Im in for the 49% gears. Now, how do I get the intermediate shaft out? Im a bit of tech dummy...

Angus

Well its never great with an auto anyway, but even worse with the standard gearing.

Angus

ah...slow enough to have good control. I don't want to be having to rev the crap out of the engine just to get over things...better gearing, better control.

Or you could face the scoop backwards... This would prevent the water flowing straight in but you might on get as much of an air ram effect.

Angus

You don't want an air ram effect. You want air to flow OUT of the bonnet scoop/vent/whatever, so it is easier for air to flow IN via the radiator ...

Hmmm... I had really decided on a rangie and plus Im not that tech savvy that I could swap everything over.

What did you want for it? Are you starting something else or just over it?

Angus

Thanks Trobbo, thought I would need something bigger. Might go the 4.3 toyo option.

Angus

Hey All

Just doing some research in preparation for buying my rangie and I was just wanting to know a bit more about replacement Cw&P gears. It looks like most people go for 4.11's but you can get 4.27's, 4.75's etc.

Correct me if Im wrong, but 4.11's will still be a little tall for a rangie ...
