Outer Limits 4x4 Board

ok so im finally getting a new 4wd iv narrowed it down to these 3 vehicles
jk wrangler
suzuki jimny
swb late model pajero

im leaning towards the jimny only because i have a soft spot for suzukis!
although a mate has a jk wrangler and i think it is a far more capable vehicle offroad than a jimny ...

I'm looking for the actual model numbers. I haven't decided between the two yet. I went to LCOOL but they only go back to 80 series nothing tougher like the 60 lol

Hi All,

I want to put a rear locker in my HJ60. I have my Diff specialist ready to install for me. He suggests a Detroit but since he doesn't sell them I need to source one. I'm also sorta debating on an ARB airlocker if the price was right. My question is what model of locker do I need to be ...

As said before the tracks are looking good for this year's SOT. I think there are a few twists in this years tracks that will challenge just about everyone, especially with the times we have placed on them. If you are sitting on the fence about this year's event well then tip off towards coming on ...

To bad you are not in NSW (Sydney) I belong to a great club. There is lots to do from Mild to WILD. The members are very friendly and the trips members put on are heaps of fun. If anyone else is reading this thread and in the Sydney area check out the web page, but don't base all your thoughts on it ...

1984 HJ60 6.5 LT Chevy


and crossing a puddle of a river lol



and taking a rest

Depending on if you need valves and if they are included it might be worthwhile to look overseas. The Aussie dollar is more than good at the moment. Look here http://www.65engineparts.com/gm_6_5_parts




So how much are you looking at to get the head gasket replaced?

Linquip quoted me $950 for ...

Of course the difference between 41 and 50 litres is 22% more. You also have a manual, was the GU auto?



Yes his was auto. Listen I'm not trying to say by any means that my motor is better than any other. I'm just saying it is close enough to modern turbo whiz bangers that I don't worry about ...

I gave some figures earlier in the thread. A real world example is this one. Some mates and I went to Stockton beach for 2 days of wheeling. We filled up at Lavis lane and entered the beach together, drove around together and basically did everything the same together. My 6.5l 60 series and his 3l ...

Fellas

In my honest opinion there is NOOO perfect engine. These Chevs are an old design and certainly some of the newer high tech motors can outperform them in power, torque, and economy. But comparing my 6.5l to the old 2H that was in my HJ60 the V8 is a hands down winner. The 6.5 is a simple ...

I probably do drive like your mom haha. Especially with the standard H55f gearbox and diffs off the old 2h. I don't win any speed contests. I probably use a lot more when my right foot gets heavy. 100kph for me is about 2200rpm using the standard toyota tach (not sure how accurate that is)

In the ...

In the city an honest 17 litres /100 Kilometers. I have got fully loaded on the highway 12 litres/100 kilometers but usually it is around 13 or 14. Mine is not turbo. I don't think I'd want that much power lol.

Hello

I have a 6.5 Diesel in my 60 series. I didn't put it in the previous ...

Hello

I have a 6.5 Diesel in my 60 series. I didn't put it in the previous owner had Brunswick put it in. I'ts simple. It rumbles lovely. I have more than enough power for just about everything and I get economy similar to the standard 4.2 diesels and 3 litre Patrols in my club. Parts are easy to ...

If I didn't have a winch already I'd sure be thinking about this one. Looks the goods

Hi Pink, thanks for the idea. I've attached some pics here. I went to REPCO today and there was a mechanic there as well from a local 4wd store who took a look at it and said to just weld it up as there is no after market bolt on bits.

Yesterday I was out with my girlfriend. When we got back to my 1984 60 series there was a note on the window to look at my front shocks. (Thank you to who ever left that btw) My passenger side shock was hanging off the bottom mount as the top one has snapped off near the chassis. The mount appears ...

Hi All

Here is a clip from LOkka

I would argue their use of the term "unlocking" (point 3b below) as to me an unlocked wheel could be held stationary whilst the other is powered such as when we are talking an open diff or even limited slip. Yes it is ...

I agree a snatch strap or even 2 would along with shackles is a minimum. Make sure you have good recovery points on your truck as well. If I'm travelling on the beach alone (not often) I have a rule I try to stick to and that is to stay out of the tidal zone, or the area of the beach that the tide ...

I explained this earlier in the thread but someone tried to correct me. Some models are different and are only limited slips (IE No slip) but most of the "Auto Lockers" never ever unlock. As long as there is power to the prop shaft the tyres will both turn at the same speed. However by design either ...

Sounds like the locker is working for you. I'm looking to put one in the rear of my 60 soon. I did want to mention about the locking /unlocking comments though. To the best of my knowledge these units never unlock. I think the term "Auto Locker" is misleading as that implies that something ...

Hey fellas

I always hate when other people type " do a search! ". SO I will suggest that perhaps this has been covered in depth before so have a look. That being said I don't have one but I have had dealings with Paul from TigerZ11 and he is a top notch guy. I don't think you would have any ...

I've had good luck with Hunter Express

http://www.hunterexpress.com.au/

I've shipped some winches (50 plus kilos) with them and they were way less than the price I was getting quoted door to door Melbourne to Sydney from other mobs. Both times the driver was friendly and on time.

Yeah I better go get some bigger bolts. Maybe another bunnings run

I may have confused some. These bolts are the ones to the chassis that holds the bullbar to the chassis.

It's a different problem but since some asked. My winch is an X9 superwinch. When I try to get aligned with the holes the ...

Ok I have a 60 series that has a TJM bullbar on it. (steel) I went to put on my winch (which is another problem because it didn't fit) and in the process decided to replace all the bolts because the ones used were not clearly marked. I went to bunnings with one in my pocket and bought 8 new M10 High ...

Hello all

I have a recently purchased 60 series that at some point in it's previous life had a long range tank in it. Ok well it's still there. It also has the main tank still in place as well. The fellow who owned the truck before me died and his wife's brother is who I purchased the truck from ...

coxy321 wrote:$499 plus postage from most retailers. Have a look in 4WDA magazine for some retailers.

Actually the price has increased a bit

Your now looking at $579[/url]

Here is the one the Roodogs has for the 60

Wish I would have seen that one before going to ...

That sorta looks like it. However that kit says itś for the Hilux gearbox. Is that the same for the Landcruiser? My gearbox is the H155
