Outer Limits 4x4 Board

check it out,
it's only just started, could develop into something good.

Ended up getting 265/70R16 in the
Bridgestone new style A/T's called 694's
which replace the 693's.
Did Kalbarri, soft sand some mud along the Murchison
and some rock work too, inland and coastal.
Bloody beautiful. Stood up to the rough and soft stuff.

Size is spot on no rubbing and fills ...

Noel need new tyres due to going up to Kalbarri in a week.
A lift now...prob not.
In the future...mmm maybe

Noel hi,

265/70R16, will these fit without any lift?

may even go 245/75!

cheers

Looking at some B'stone D693's
265/75R16 $215
275/70R16 $225
265/70R16 $259!
Perth $

any trouble in fitting any of these to the Jack.
It doesn't sag at all and is not raised. Normal!
245/70R16 are the norm.

75% Bit 15-20% sand 5-10% gravel

No serious, well done everyone and especially to
auto_eng for his efforts.
I shall print out and keep in the glovebox!

I'm in no hurry to get this done but will look into
it further. Will post update.

I have some left over auto electrical wire rated
3mm - 10amp
Can I use this to wire up some 12V nav lights on the boat?
There are no instructions for installing these.
Two wires pretty thin gauge but looks like that solder wire stuff
come out of the light. 1 Black (earth) and 1 White (power)
I ...

petrol!

thanks fellas,

The idea is good, cause when ever we arrive to park anywhere,
well it's like coming in for approach in a 747. Almost need a checklist!
To be able to pull up and have the option of closing everything
without having to switch the ignition to on would be nice.

slayer,

mate I think you got it.
The bit about ...
"patch in yr fuse box from the windows fuse across to another fuse that is pemanent power"
I think this is what he must have done.

might go and ask an auto elec what they think and how much

Met this fella the other day that had just bought a 98 jack
from an ex holden service manager.
The holden man did something with the fuse to make the power
windows controlable without the key in the ignition.
The new owner wasn't sure but thought it had something to do with
changing the angle ...

Dave hi,

Our '94 Jack Monterey has got one, factory job oversized s/roof
with the same sliding panel.
Bloody Fantastic!!!

F#$@! going to holden Noel or any other dealer for that matter.
You may think you're booking it for a service & tune for $200
(even that is too much) only to come away paying $400 for all
the bullshit little things THEY say need doing when in fact it's a load
of BS. I went in today to Metro's to ...

Has everything I need at the mo except for,
air compressor & roof racks.

Will be needing some new tread in prob 6 months time,
so I'll prob look at my options for a 2" lift then and pick the right
profiles for that. Other than that I'm saving the moola for a 5m dinghy
to complete the package ...

just purchased my second Jack today,
a 94 Monterey that is just soooo sweeeet!
sold the first jack, a 84 LS man' petrol that
was a good ole girl which was coming to the
end of her life due to the dreaded cancer,
too many heads, a couple a clutches etc etc.
She took me far ...

Anyone recommend a qualified legend jackaroo mechanic
who knows these things inside and out and who knows
how to tweek'em just right to get max output?
North of river if poss.
Must be qualified to satisfy extended warranty.

Vehicle is '94 auto jack

cheers
wolf

Well the deed has been done!
Purchased the Monty today for a bit more than I was wanting to part with,
but at the end of the day it's what we wanted and they don't come up very
often (the Monterey version that is), has all the bells & whistles
that will make it an absolute pleasure to drive ...

Noel,

I'm starting to calm down and may go back tomorrow to
see what sort of deal I can wangle...if any.
Still at $18K with 150K km is still a good price.

It's just the fact of the unknown about how, what and where
the mechanic has been and done that concerns me.

As you would know, from ...

Walked into Maddington Auto Wholesale in Perth today ready to part
with $18000 of my hard earned cash on the 94 Jackaroo Monterey
and it's not there! Damn it's sold allready, so I thought.
Walked into the office and asked "where's the monty"?
Oh it's in Busselton (~300km from the yard ...

first posting for me on what looks like a pretty good forum for
anything and everything 4WD.

About to purchase a '94 Monterey petrol auto with 150000km on the clock.
Getting it from a wholesale yard, where they don't do 'F' all about
cleaning/servicing basically buying it as it was traded to a ...
