Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Shakes, try asking on the Rover Forum, it's a common fit to early Rangies.

my olds had a coil one n it wallowed worse than there jeep Mine has coils and it doesn't wallow at all, though I have HD shocks fitted, I also tow an off road van with around 140Kg tow ball weight plus all the camping gear in the back with no troubles at all even without a weight distributing hitch ...

I was in the same situation about 5 months ago and ended up buying an 02 Challenger (coil spring rear). My neighbor had a Pathfinder company car and said that it was heavy on fuel, if you do a google on both vehicles and read the feedback on both you will quickly see that the Challenger is a much ...

standard rangie carbie as in twin SU's or whatever they are? Have you had any problems with lack of fuel feed or too much?? I know longer have the car but had it for several years with the P76/Rover manifold setup. The carbies were the standard SU type Strombergs that were fitted to the 3.5 engine ...

I fitted the standard Rangie manifold and carbies with adapter plates from Marks Adapters to mine, had no problems on or off road.

have the in-car mounted arb unit (new one) and it HAMMERS!

Thanks Alien, ARB seems the go for the money, may just have to bite the bullet and pull out the bank card.
Regards

The new ARB gets a very good rap. Get the new hoses, outlet temps are very high and will soften most hoses till they blow Yes good advise, something I never thought of. Just realized the Hunter Valley 4x4 and camping show is on next month, thinking I might wait until then and see if I can get an ...

got the new ABR compressor a while ago for $250. It took all off 2 hours to put in and so far has not missed a beat. Is this the same compressor that they use in there kit (CKMP12), it looks the same, if it is I may be interested as I still have the hose and battery cables from my old compressor ...

Thanks Joel
It's the kit (portable) I'm after, best I can get an ARB kit (CKMP12) for is $349.00

Cheers

Hi all Due to limited funds I am looking for a 12v air compressor kit for around the $200 mark. I found this one: http://www.transquip.com.au/product.aspx?ID=1222&PARENT=419 on the web but have not heard of it, I did read on a forum about one person that had one and he was very happy with it but ...

Thanks Danos that link explained it all for me.

Regards

Hey Danos any chance of posting up a diagram of the wiring including wire diameter, also the "ignition wire" from the alternator is it a common wire, that is, is it easy to detect and/or find.
Cheers

I've had the foamies in the front of my rodeo for about 6 months and so far they seem pretty good.

Hey Offroad
The sellers recon that the ride comfort will improve with these, has this been the case with yours.

Hey all Just after some general discussion on the Ironman foam cell shockies. Am considering fitting them to my Challenger and would like some feed back from anyone that has had experience with them or anyone that has heard anything about them. See them here: http://tinyurl.com/26v8cx an e-bay shop ...

Hi All Thinking about upgrading the shocky's on my 2001 Challenger and would like some advise. I don't do any *real* heavy off road any more, mainly light/medium stuff towing a Jayco type off road van when practicable, generally on established tracks just a few times a year. Have seen on E-Bay the ...

in tools/equipment such as welders, the duty cycle is defined as the percentage of time in a 10 minute period that it can be operated continuously before overheating.

i.e. 35% duty at 120amps = 3.5mins continuos welding

Cheers, thanks

I could probably guess fairly accurately but whats "duty cycle" and how do you measure it, that is what is a good duty cycle, is there a figure to work with.

Bought a GMC type welder from the local hardware and the first time it was used the thermal cut out kicked in, this was in winter so I placed it outside the garage in the cold air to cool but took roughly 20 Min before I could start to weld again and then could only weld for a short time before it ...

Hey vpacer Antenna still working (touch wood), really enjoying it so far, the handbrake likes it as well so that's got to be a plus. Only had a chance to do one fuel test and it returned 11.5/100k mixed driving. Probably the only mod I will be doing is to the shockies as I doubt I will need anything ...

Hey Bogged It's a "Super Force Pro Heavy Duty" Doesn't say anything about model but has: "Plu 102860 Code JD101 72 L/Min I think I bought it from Super Cheap some years ago and has been a great compressor up until now, also I recon it is just a re-badge of a mass produced compressor that has many ...

Hi All My ever so faithful 12V air compressor has stopped, I pulled it apart and there is a small thin metal flat plate missing from the top of the piston I assume it is one of the 2 valves, can anyone advise if these can be replaced and id so where would I look to source the part, failing that any ...

Hey swbpajero
I don't anything about your particular auto but the learning auto in my ex Falcon always changed it's holding pattern within a few kilometers of me changing my driving style.

Just for information purpose my Challenger's manual says to use either DOT3 *or* DOT4.

Teg

Where there's a will there's a way, have you thought about getting an air con bracket and maybe modifying / reversing it it. Is it possible to fit and extra pulley to the crank pulley, exhaust all possibilities with on engine fitting and if still no go check and see if the compressor can be mounted ...

Ok picked my 2001 model up the other day (see other thread), the dealer told me that if it has two tone paint it comes with LSD and Cruise as standard, also another dealer referred to one with two tone as an "update", as in "Challenger Update", don't know how true this is but mine is two tone and ...

Picked one up today from a local dealer, it's a 2001 with cruise, LSD, CD stacker and a working aerial. Everything seems OK, it drives well, steers good, quiet on the road, suspension is firm but not harsh. Noticed a little surface rust underside but have got it booked in for a complete rust ...

Oh the other thing I forgot to mention is engine was fairly down on oil when I checked (only just showing on bottom of dipstick). Dunno if that's enough to dry the lifters out but I filled it to the full mark on the dipstick and 500km run back to Sydney later it hasn't changed. Yep that would do it ...

Are you shore it's lifter and not a leaking manifold or cylinder head gasket, either can sound like a lifter.. does it reduce or go away when hot.

Teg

Music to my ears Pickle, thanks for the tips, I like the sound of the 2001 LS, I recon I should be able to get a good one for what I want to spend. I am retired now so I no longer do any heavy off roading but can't resist the urge to head into the mountains. I am currently using a Vitara but ...

Hi all The time is almost here when I will be purchasing a Challenger. I will be looking for a 2001 or later preferably an LS model with LSD but will look at a standard model as well. I have been looking on the car sales sites and there is a good variety to pick from up around the $18K price, so my ...
