Outer Limits 4x4 Board

They are a pile of shit. I know Overkill had all sorts of issues fitting one to a Ranger. The front tailshaft didnt bolt back up as it hit the gearbox crossmember and was a complete driveshaft flange height out from fitting. Id avoid it big time.

See you lot of Westies soon mate. Drive safe.

70 competitors for the crowd to heckle

More headaches for us

Id be interested who the insurance policy is arranged through. Its definitely not CCDA if they don't approve unregoed vehicles. I applaud the On All Fours for standing up and holding another event there, its a great spot. Id just be getting a legal eye over the policy as some of the "insurance" for ...

All good Mark, you do raise some good points. A pre fabbed chassis would be great, and would save some people a lot of time and someone came up with a design that could meet both chassis rails/body width requirements and no rails then it would be a very good thing, and have the best of both worlds ...

We have 73 nominations for this year. Why is it so hard to build a car that can do both speed and crawling that has a chassis? Is it because its "uncool" to have a set of rails still or do you think it'll make the car slower or something?????? Look at the 40 that Micka built a couple of years back ...

I think the chassis rule could go BUT only if the body rule was very strict! It must look like a bodied rig not a buggy with some flat sheet skinning it. It works for Nascar and V8 supercars. If only it was as easy as Supercar/Nascar ;) With both them style cars, all are basically the same chassis ...

Any individual scores/ramp queen results?

^^^^ x3^^^^ What a great comp! I cant remember having so much fun at an event competing! Does help not repairing the junkbox after each stage haha but a HHHHUUUUUUUUGGGGGEEEEEE thank you to everyone involved in the Conobolus club, and especially to Tony and Penny for allowing us to use their ...

TEPA has already done that. We are working with CCDA regarding exo cage designs with proper cage builders/drawings etc.

Oh and Tex, this is the last time I waste my time replying to your shit.

[quote="brad 93hiluxDidn't this get off topic a bit, but i guess it shows how much we really need a better defined set of rules/ guide lines to follow. [/quote] Trust me, we are trying. All I can say is we have been trying for a few years now...... It does get very frustrating and tiring but we ...

Pricey, A real question. The likes of Dave Camps old rig being made of the correct material but to small. Micheal Sweeney rig being made of NB. Both of these cars are a few years old and very proven cars that both get entered into comps on a regular bases. Both have been rolled numerous times and ...

Its a little disappointing that (not in this thread but others ive read) people whine and complain regarding rollcage materials, that they cost too much etc when they are more than happy to fork out more for a set of alloy beadlocks or coilovers but not the safety aspect of the vehicle. Welcome to ...

Campys old rig (now Ethan's) has been re-caged.

Yes the consistency is the key. But you're comparing 2.6mm to 3.2mm. Bend the 3.0mm 350mpa tube it'll be a different story. Also what is a tad odd is that with the cage rules that we run under states "MINIMUM of 2.5mm wall thickness". People see that and think that's what they HAVE to use. Ive had ...

Unless you want to move to QLD as they still allow black pipe as cages... :rofl: So exactly how much stronger is a cage built from ERW than a cage built from pipe? Ask anyone who has bent both pipe and proper cage material and they will tell you the proper tube is so much more difficult to bend ...

Ah the stooge season has begun! Good to see you back Tex, I love reading all your informative, well spelt and well punctuated posts that are full of valuable knowledge at this time of year. You never let us down, especially when TT is mentioned by someone. Tex, in NSW comps tend to follow what we ...

My cage is fine! That's 44.45 stuff
It was hard work going round getting them signs for the new guards

Don't know if its a mistake in the recovery point material size, 10x75mm is only needed for TT and toperi, not 12mm?

Yep I have Mickas old trailer, easy to move around and a Hmm over 500kg's.

As far as im aware, the diffs are the same in the front across the range except for the 4.8 which had bigger discs and I think bigger calipers. Ratios are 4.1, 4.3 and 4.6 depending on which motor the vehicle had. The rear diff is either the H233 or H260 which is the diameter of the crownwheel. The ...

Define spectator?? if im watching from a manitou am i eligible for the prize? and cmon surely i get brownie points for asking about pre-verification right before the email was sent! Whats this "If im watching from a manitu" The furthest your junk goes is when its swinging in the air :finger:

Jeez im glad i read this! I have the 4.5 100 series and same as you i struggle to get 400kms from a tank of unleaded. Mine runs LPG as well and ill be lucky to get 300 out of a 90L LPG tank. Them figures drop to roughly 200-250 kms when i tow the 40, with unleaded. Less of course with LPG.
