Outer Limits 4x4 Board

We need a better definition of the smoke..
Firstly, then fact that it hangs and doesn't disperse quickly would make you think it is definitely smoke and not steam so the rules out condensation in the exhaust or a coolant leak from the headgasket.


You've got to remember that he lives in ...

I found your pet spider Joe

He's already got a "3 snake lift" with 31's and wants to go 33's, might need some guard chopping too

Just go to the wreckers and replace them. Although in a couple of weeks I'll have bulletproof mounts for sale from standard to 2" lift.

Will these be solid or rubber to allow for some movement without tearing the bolts out of the t/c?

Cheers

a soft compound polyeruthane, similar to rubber just ...

That's only $35AUD

31's with standard gearing majorly sucks!! If you want to continue running 31's then get reduction gears!!

That spacer looks better than the last one I saw

The ball joint boot looks cool too

Bad earth on the passenger side.

(*ahem* Good advice for life, really )

Always quick with the good advice Steve!!

I got the cheaper kit too, no instructions AND no biscuit

The cam wants to be just before the intake stroke, not after. And as Boner said, line up TDC on the crank pulley. If you can't find the timing mark on the dizzy then just mark where number one is on the cap and metal base, remove cap and line up the rotor to that mark. If you have it somewhere in ...

Do you mean heater hoses??

I wonder how a Victa or a Briggs and Stratton conversion would go??.....

The 'sunraiser' brand doesn't exist anymore. The rims are made by a few different manufacturers, Speedy, ROH...etc. You can buy them in a few different sizes of offset, you just need to specify what you want when ordering.

Spacers aren't legal. Go with rims

I barely even notice my 31's bagging at 12psi. 5psi would be ok, just drive accordingly

I would hazard a guess that it's a bent housing too, but that wouldn't account for the squealing noise. You can get the housing straightened if you don't want to re-do spring perches. It only takes a little bend in the housing on that long side to make that seal leak.
You may need to drop back in ...

There are engineering shops that will bend it back for you and get it straight again. It happens a lot with our Cruisers that get driven by German tourists on Fraser Is. You will need to remove and completely strip it though. I wouldn't be so keen to do it myself, espeacialy while still in place. It ...

Is that track rod bent too, or is it just the photo?

my theory on hard to find stuff is to drive it till it brakes,
then it is easy to find. ;)
I tend to do the same. :oops:

I'm with you two on this one :lol:

Does it make the noise while the vehicle is rolling or stationary? If it is stationary then it would be steering related and not ...

Could do. How badly are the drums scored/lipped?

Wrong size shoes?? Did you put them side by side before you fitted them? Usually a quick visual check will tell you if they are wrong or not

Where in Brissie are you? If you are anywhere near Everton Hills or don't mind driving there then go and see Brewskibilt. He has a LWB in pieces at the moment that will be running a 4AG-ZE. He doesn't mind chatting either and I'm sure if you turned up with some liquid he'd be more than happy to ...

Try loosening the handbrake cable right off, it may be over-tight.

Has it just started or has it just gotten progressively worse? Have the shoes been replaced recently?

Yes, round and square teeth. I'm not 100% sure but I think the earlier ones were square and later round. I personally wouldn't let any cambelt go much past 100k, they start going into borrowed time then.

Top notch body lifts too

Good looking car PJ.

Is it the well used body or the big tyres that do it for you Steve? :D

I'll post pics of mine when I get home and have access to photobucket again. 3" exhaust from front of guard with one 90 degree silicone bend into airbox.
