Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Are these Caloffroad, Bolsy's and Yuri items stonger on the inside? I always break the inside of the CV, not the outer bell.

Here's mine using a ute back wall.

Very quiet thread!!! You asked for it Pete! Why isn't rear steer penalty greater than 5point's? Say 10? Reverse is something that every "Factory" 4x4 has but Rear steer is some thing to no "Factory" 4x4 or 6x6 has and is Expensive no matter how you look at it (Hilux rear steer, GQ/GU Rear steer ...

A mate of mine had an ARB air locker in a 100 series. The bolts that hold the locker together came loose and chewed the whole diff. I remember hearing something about this some time back as well Has anyone else had this problem and did the manufacturer have a solution to fix if you contacted them. I ...

different tailshafts. Manual shafts are longer.

different mounting position for the cross member.

Cross member is the same shape

Crossmember has to move backwards.

I would still go to Brisbane tuning at the gabba. Pain to get to but worth the money

It's on the compliance plate marked colour/trim under the bonnet.

Thanks for your help. Most appreciated

Hi, does anyone who has a black and silver GQ have the paint code.

Out of everyone I know, no one has this colour GQ.

I have black and silver guards bonnet, doors, trying to match up the rest for the extra cab, that was originally white.

Thanks guys

same ratios in the diffs Cross member in a different position and different tailshafts. I thought the 80 series autos were good, particularly the electronic version. What year is the one you are looking at. I would just put the extreme valve body in it and drive it, or if you are fitting bigger ...

I'll check, but we were under the impression they need to see the construction of the cab and view the welds, where it was welded etc. We even staggered the joints for more strength.

Good point though. I'll post up what I find out.

Love your work, thanks

Well it's a while since i posted in this section. Dare I say it I have a gq again, still have the 80 though. I bought a part finished extra cab with the cab section completed but not painted. Before I send it down to have it completed at the panel shop (I know the guy that did the conversion and the ...

Maybe check the return spring on the pedal.

The only other thing that would cause it is vacum. Unless it pulling a lot of vacum and still holding the pedal down. Sure sure how that would happen though. You could try another vacum body. I would still check the return spring first though.

What tyres are you running? I run 285's on both 80's I have 4.55 gears in a petrol auto - perfect I had the 4.55's in the TD 80 5 speed - too low on the highway Same thing as you, i wanted 4.3's but couldn't get them for the rear. As it turned out the 4.55's were good in the auto. When I had the 35 ...

hey every1 i am the kid that got chased the story..... a mate and i were trying to set have a tug of war surf vs cruiser and the bloke in the hilux came out started spraying us i asked him to stop for 5 seconds nicely . so he continued to spray us so we went and parked behind the trees and he kept ...

Forgot to mention: -Most likely cause of death is failed turbo seals. This Caused turbo to pump said engine oil into intake (thats why I couldn't turn it off). -No idea what damage is done at the moment (still getting it out). -She has been babied (1991 and done 220,000). I have seen this before ...

Yeah Bad Religion, fair call there mate i have seen some ripper arguments over lockrite and ARB lockers, and why? No real reason, whether it be the cost or the name brand who cares, its up to the individual and if it works for you, stick with it. I must say i still to this day know more people with ...

I have run detroits in all my trucks in the front bar one, that was the GQ. When I bought the 80 i went back to a detroit. I din't have any issues locking up etc etc. As far as I am concerned it is great.

This one has me a little stumped. I have recently bought another 80, a White 97 GXL 1HZ turbo. I changed the lockers over from the other blue 80 which the wife wants to drive. It also had the lower gears which are now in mine (White 80). Anyway in the process I changed the steering arm as it was ...

Thanks I'm convinced. Pity they do dash pod for the 80. I'll find somewhere for it and the egt

thanks for the help guys

Perhaps if you tried spelling it correctly you might have better luck ;) I know everyone says spelling doesn't really matter, it's all in the intent but if you can't spell then don't expect a search to work as well. Gauge I did spell it correctly when i searched it, my fingers were too quick and i ...

Does anyone know if they are available and any feedback. I haven't been able to find anything on the net. Mounting a round guage in the 80 Series is posing a problem. I ma hoping a digital one will be flat?

Any help appreciated

thanks guys.

Who has done this? I am buying another car from NSW. Does anyone know what the process is or have done it before. I am sure he will fill in the transfer papers and then when I get back to qld i take the transfer papers and qld safty certificate, which i will have to get done, and they will trasfer ...

I have 4.55 fitted to a petrol auto. They seem pretty good. They were precision from the USA. Haven't broken them yet and I have been reasonably hard on them. I have launched it up a more than afew rock ledges with the swampers and still ok. To be truthful i must admit i am surpised. I honestly ...

I live in Redcliffe QLD. The exhaust is crap on the 80 series. Between the two shops here it's butchered, craked, broken mounts, incorrect clearances etc. I need a shop that can do a custom exhaust that will be strong as i am doing a big outback trip in the middle of 08. If anyone can point in the ...

I would go to the wreckers and cut out that section and tack it into yours. I would let that hole stop me from taking it. It's fixable no worries.

1. Are they a thirsty motor as the truck will tow my work trailer day to day and our camper trailer for touring. Thirsty yes compared to diesel. You can't compare the two, but it will have the power though. 2. What sort of Litres per 100Km do they use. About 23-25l/p 100 depending on how heavy the ...

and the only diesel auto boxes that were electronically controlled were multivalve. I am 99% sure of this unless i missed something.

pinion bearing? Pull the shaft out and see how much play is in the pinion flange. While it is out lock the CD in and take it for a drive and see if the noise goes away, that will definitely isolate it to the front end. Other see Duncan at Top Cog and he might be able to figure it out as he is up the ...
