Outer Limits 4x4 Board

On a similar note, can you buy window tint to apply yourself? I remember my old man doing the windows in our car years ago. Can you buy good quality and or darker shades too?

Nice rig Jason, beige rocks!!! Jealous of that 12HT though....

I had that same decal on my 75 Series ute years ago. Never got around to taking it off, and it did make it a fraction easier to identify my ute out in a carpark full of white 75 utes.....

Most new petrol 4wds will run under water as much as a diesel as long as you do not drown it. Snorkels are great but do not assume that if fitted by a professional fitter that they are fully sealed. Check them. Cris Easiest way to check I've seen so far (on a diesel) is grab a can of Contact ...

I'm sure I read somewhere that the Nissan lights wouldn't fit the Great Wall utes and vice versa. I thought it was because they were a slightly different shape in the back or some such thing???

Might all be just bullsh*t too......

Mate, it's just in good nick. I paid $4K for it 12 months ago off a farm worker's wife in Dalby. Only 2 owners previous to me. There may have been a slight respray on the gutters after rustproofing, but otherwise it is clean and straight. As for the springs, they are the next major purchase to be ...

Mine as it sits today with the new rims. Not quite up to vSAHARAx's level, but slowly upgrading..... http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww340/NQGoggsy/The%20Chief/Dump270410007.jpg http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww340/NQGoggsy/The%20Chief/Dump270410006.jpg http://i733.photobucket.com/albums ...

My fakelocks finally arrived this week - only 4 months late. They weren't quite what I expected, but I certainly like the look. Don't look too closely though..... http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww340/NQGoggsy/The%20Chief/Dump270410004.jpg http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww340/NQGoggsy/The ...

thought u might be intersted http://i452.photobucket.com/albums/qq250/thrashlux/DSC07008.jpg http://i452.photobucket.com/albums/qq250/thrashlux/DSC07007.jpg http://i452.photobucket.com/albums/qq250/thrashlux/DSC07009-1.jpg :? I've seen these before somewhere, a few years ago in a 4WD Monthly mag ...

Mate, that looks great - I love those little black highlights on the door handles and the window frames. What's the main colour? It looks like one of the old 60 series colours.

lookin good hurricaine also that orange one on the rocks is sick as hell That's Kling-On's rig from IH8MUD. It's been beat to shite since that photo and now has no roof Tuff As Nails..... Started as a bobbed wagon http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww340/NQGoggsy/Random%20Stuff/Kling-On6.jpg Then ...

With the guy who owns it, I'd be waiting to see if the engine lasts long enough to trouble the diffs.....

Personally, I think once the guards on the tray are finished off it might look a bit better.

How about Black??? This is one of the local guys that comes into work occasionally. Was a black 88 model 75 Series with a warm but tired 3F, crappy bullbar and a Patrol bonnet scoop.... Now it has an LS1 with 255KW out of a wrecked HSV Senator, modified 100 Series bullbar, custom dash & steering ...

Says here that they use a combination of stuff from Asia and the US, but those Competition ones don't look the same as the ones above either...

I ordered a set of the "Lockjaw" fakelocks off Allied through my local dealer in January - still haven't got them yet. Supposed to be arriving in about 2 more weeks but I'll wait & see. Costing about $167.00 each rim. The delay has apparently been caused by the ring that gets welded in. Wrong size ...

Dunno about 100mm, but I got a few silicon rubber joints in 90deg x 76mm from SuperCheap Auto when I built my snorkel hose to the aircleaner. Caliber was the brand from memory.

And my 78 series GXL 2 weeks after i got it......... at Fraser :) http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z280/YOTABITS/DSCF3927.jpg I thought I recognized that rig, you were up there with a guy I went to school with - he owns the Patrol and Discovery that you were in a photo with... Did he end up ...

Haha, love the 4x4 Stateo in the background, can't say I've seen one of those before, but now I wish I had!!!

Apparently you can get an OME Sport for the 60 series now, but I dunno about using them with a 3 inch spring AND an extended shackle. I'm looking at the same for my 60 shortly.

Mine's a 1985 60 Series wagon that I just bought on the downs.
Driving it back from Brisbane to Ayr I averaged 8.7L/100km. Worked out being about 70L from Aspley to Rockhampton - 671km. Mind you I don't drive like I stole it either... I save that for my 200 series!!!

The early diesels (1KZ-TE) are pretty thirsty in this model - the common rail (1KD-FTV) ones are much better - look for the D4D badge. I think these started in 2005.

One of my good mates bought the earlier one and was pretty dissapointed with the economy and power....

My work one used about 1 litre before the 10,000 km service and hasn't used any since. I towed a 3500kg trailer from Ayr (near Townsville) to Gunnedah, back to Toowoomba, back to Wee Waa, back to Dalby and then back to Ayr - about 7000km in 3 weeks all up. Used no oil and averaged about 17-22L/100km ...

Fester2au, where did you get the POR15 from? I've been reading about it a bit on ih8mud and they all seem to rate it fairly well over in the US. Wondering where you can get it from in AU.

Hey there Flyology, I'm the guy that bought your old rear wheel carrier off you a few months ago. Your wagon is looking great!! I still haven't finished mounting up the carrier yet - got started one afternoon and pullled all the rear bumpers off and then just kind of kept on going....... I've just ...

Toyota Specs Sheet published 11/87. Still lists HJ60models with 5 Speed and LSD, but my 05/85 model has no LSD.

Any one here know of a good steel winchbar for a HJ60 that someone wnats to sell at all? The Chief needs one baaaad... http://i664.photobucket.com/albums/vv4/NQCruiser/TheChief01.jpg Not quite up there with the ones above yet, but I'm slowly getting there. At least I'm starting off with a clean ...

I've just bought a 2nd hand tank out of a 60 Series as well and mine is a "gravity fed" type, where the 2nd tank is fitted and the deivery hose from the main tank in fed into the 2nd tank and the delivery line to the pump is then plumbed to the 2nd tank. The fuel sender unit is removed from the main ...

so I put on a 3rd spot to fill this in. FYI: Headlights must be in pairs or illegal. Paul So I've been told, but never been pulled over or chipped for having them in this setup. Been running them this way for about 5 years now. Seem to be seeing a few more setups like it around now too. I know this ...

In any spotlight form I think that dual spots are just for guys who like admiring their pencil (beam) length. Unless you're on the Nullabor they're pretty useless. I prefer two spreads so you can see either side of the road as well. I'd rather see the kangaroo off the side 100m ahead, rather than ...

One of the guys I work with has one with all the flash gear on it and the mufflers taken out. It sounds great and he reckons it goes like a scalded cat. One thing he was pissed off about was that he went through a drain (about 1/2 the depth of a tyre and about 1metre wide) and suddenly had all the ...

So Hobzee, do you do upgrade kits for existing Rallye 4000 spotties or only new 4000's with the upgrades already done. I've got 3 x 4000 pencil beams but would consider a 2 x pencil & 1 x spread combination HID setup if it were possible. Are the upgrades comparable with the Predator HID's? I noticed ...
