Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I did think about a 3rz but they are still quite heavy and I will still be in the same situation with finding an adapter. I went and had a chat with a local machinist and he was confident of making up a splined coupler and the adapter plate so hopefully things are looking up.

I want to use the vitara motor as it's light and has a good 4 speed auto and it fits in the small chassis of the lj. I alrready have a sierra based buggy with a commo v6 in it but I want to try and loose some weight over the front axle and I will make up for the vit motor having less power with a ...

I have got my hands on an atlas2 transfer case for my new project and was wondering if anyone has tried to fit one to a vitara aw4 auto. I have searched on the advance adaptors website but there doesn't seem to be a listing for such an adaptor. The case has a 27 spline input with 32 spline outputs ...

Thanks rhett I wasn't sure how long your lowers were but I knew they were short and as for the steer hopefully 4wheel steer will help to counteract it a bit as well as having the lowers dead flat.

Hi guy's I am part way through a new buggy build and I am setting out the front suspension and would like to know what length lower arms people are running. The buggy is based on a lj80 suzuki so space is limited but it looks like the front lower arms will end up 700mm long, will this enable me to ...

He might have been refering to registering it as an icv or Individually constructed vehicle. Just an idea have you thought about putting the zook body onto the chassis of a vehicle that could legaly run the v6 eg.a swb patrol and that way you would get the diff and brake upgrades needed to pass ...

I was discussing a future engine swap with an engineer today and he said the largest size that can be passed in a sierra is 3.4 litres and then only if it is naturally aspirated but that is still alot of motor for a little zook.

Feel free to check out my rig and hopefuly it will give you some insight on what you are taking on and what steve is saying is good advice. Few people know that my zook was road driven as a swb car with the v6 and well to be blunt it was terrible on the road, the weight transfer with any sort of ...

I have a commo v6 powered sierra but it is a comp rig and not a daily but if you would like to check mine out to get an idea of clearances of drivetrain components and how tight a fit the v6 is then you are welcome to check my zook out and I'm in bunbury.

I have no issues with locktup they have been great with trying to sort this out but the final decision on if I'm covered with warranty or not rests with trail gear.

Thankyou everyone for their advice and comments I'm hoping I don't turn this into a dirty30 vs longfield debate I was more curious to find out if I was expecting too much from this product and if so what could be a reasonable alternative. I guess the part that I'm not very impressed about is the ...

yes they were brand new dirty 30's that have done one comp and about 10 social drives.
This is the moment when it broke just to give you an idea of what I was driving at the time

Have you thought of going with a gear pump instead of a vane style pump that way you should be able to run a pump that is built to last at 2500psi.
I am converting my hydraulics to one of these pumps at the moment and may be able to source another if your interested.

I do realise that everything will break if you try hard enough it's just that I feel I have been let down by this product and that it hasn't lived up to my expectations. Like I have already said I am normaly a fairly sedate driver with some mechanical sympathy and are running very old hard tyres ...

That conferms what I was saying before that even if I use longfieds it isn't much of a strength increase over what I am already using but the warranty would be alot better than the current setup

That is some very good advice and I normaly do drive to try and conserve the vehicle but I want to bring it over to have a go at tufftruck but I don't want to spend half the time fixing it in the pits.
Basicaly the way I see it at the moment I either drive gently wherever possible,find some stronger ...

The problem is that I'm not trying to break it I try to drive gently and prefer to crawl a hard secton of track than just rely on throttle. The zook runs 38x12.5 tsl swampers and weighs around 1650 kg and I'd like to change to a 40inch comp spec tyre but I'm worried things will just break more often ...

I have enquired about changing to them but I seriously doubt that they will be alot stronger than what I already have as I have seen quite a few of them broken aswell.

I think this thread would get closed pretty quick if I started naming specific manufacturers products but they weren't bobby's

Hi guy's I was wondering if there is anyway to strengthen a 60 series diff further than just fitting a set of 30 spline chromo axles and cv's. I recently broke a 30 spline cv inner star and sheared the stub axle without doing anything beyond what the axle should be capable of handling.
I am running ...

Brunswick is just down the road from me so I can do a driveby and check to see if the car has been left outside with the bonnet up if you like and I'm glad I said no to them years ago when the owner tried to talk me into buying a rebuilt 6.5

I will have to have a look but I don. think there are any in my build thread on here but it is very simple to do basically the input flange on the mq transfer and the rear output flange on the 720 case are identical and simply bolt together with some mq tailshaft bolts.

I am running dual transfers using a nissan 720 case and a mq patrol case bolted together in my zook and they have held up no problems behind a commo v6 even in comps.

I run a commo v6 on straight gas in my zook and has plenty of grunt to smoke up the 38's and with the gas it won't be as hard to add a turbo or supercharger for even more power

I'm defintely interested but will this work with a vitara 4speed auto or only a manual

I'm running a rear mount in my truggy with a commo v6 and am using a davies craig ewp80 aswell as the standard water pump on the motor.It's been working really well now with the electric pump helping when at low crawling speeds the car now actually gets colder at idle instead of heating up due to ...

I hav picked up an auto 60 series and was wondering if the teansfer would swap over into a 94 model 75 series as the transfers look similar

I run alloy sheet as a roof on my comp zook to save weight up high and it's still strong enough to have 3 people stand on it

I have been running one in the front of my zook buggy with 60 series diffs for over 12 months and have never had a problem even after a couple of rock comps. I am running 38 inch swampers at 4psi, full hydro steering and 30 spline chromos and regularly leave it engaged while reversing back up rocks ...

Yes it is but only on the petrol longwheel base auto models or you could possibly try a nissan 720 transfer as they are very similar
