Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey guys

All these wiz-bang suspension kits come with poly bushes and it seems that polyurethane is the way to go when it comes to upgrading the old truck...
though, a few posts around here suggest that rubber is better than poly.

I'm not modifying the suspension yet but I need to get new bushes ...

Does the 80 series use the same lights as the 60 series?
According to the ARB catalogue the part numbers for the outer (hi/low beam) and inner (hi beam) looms and lights are the same.

if so how much does this ARB Headlight upgrade kit cost?
$309.17 for the outer wiring loom & lights
$250.94 for ...

Give it a good tune-up to make sure it's running as well as possible. Change oils, lube driveshafts...
Also check the front/rear brakes. My front discs were dragging very badly as the brake pistons had gummed up.

Oh, and have a look at the cat converter... it may require 'unclogging' or a new ...

If you need a factory engine/chassis manual and Toyota says there's no more left, you can ring Toyota Customer Service and ask about their photocopying service.
They will work out a price, you send them the dollars and then some poor work experience kid has a lot of photocopying to do!
It took a ...

I've got the FSM if you ever need any info. The wiring diagrams are grouped by accessory, eg. air conditioning, external lighting, etc.
It tells you the wire color-code but you still need to know where on the loom this wire should be.

I could go measure my xtra-cab between the wheel arches if you like, but as it has a different frame to a dual cab you should probably find out where the mounting points are as well.

http://www.toymods.org.au may be a good place to ask about that specific engine...

also a company called LC Engineering in the US is probably the largest supplier of (performance) parts for that engine.

another forum called the old celica owners club is full of people who work ...

I believe it's an import, like the ad says.
It's a 1988 turbo diesel with the limited/special edition gold on black trim.

Wow, I think I've just met someone who likes their xtra-cab more than me...

I actually plan to remove the ADD setup on my truck and install manual hubs at some stage. It will decrease wear on the front drive components and free up some more space in the engine bay for other cool things like a ...

Hmm, you should come drive in my 2.4 petrol with 32" rubber. I've never driven a 'stock' one but the engine does respond well to a few simple mods.

I thought the xtra cab only came in SR5. Therefore only came with IFS?

Utemad

The extra cab came in other models as well my mate had one with solid axles allround with the petrol motor was alright until he wrote it off

My understanding was that the '89 onwards xtra-cab only came as an SR5 ...

22R 2.4L petrol, big rubber... I get about 14L/100km using Premium Unleaded.
Should get better when I do a bit of a tuneup and fix those dragging brakes

It's only done about 170,000km and should go for a while yet. I'd either drop in a nice Toyota turbo diesel or pickup a 2nd hand 22R that's ...

Hi guys

I've got a 1990 model xtra-cab. Just wondering if anyone knows why the xtra-cab apparently uses different glass for the rear cab window than the single/dual cabs? ...now why would they go and do that

Also, does anyone know where I could get a lift-up/sliding window to replace my ...

xtra-cab hilux, 22R 2.4L petrol, 69L tank, large rubber...
just under 14L/100km using Premium Unleaded

...and that's with dragging brakes, needs a tune-up too

...and http://www.ultimatesubaru.net its about the biggest Forum for older Soobie owners on the net.
The owner of subarubrat.com from the States is a member and there's numerous threads about mods such as his.

Seeing as no one else has replied...

About the best I can tell you is the body shape at the back is different. I think the '84 model is wider, but it may be the other way around.
The body overhang on the chassis would be different too.

What sort of bar is it?
after all, a retro-fit isn't ...

Have McNamarra done much marketing, or are they the silent performers?

Does anyone know the wallet damage on a McNamarra Air-Operated-Locker VS. an ARB Air-Locker?
...gotta be careful you don't slip with your words else risk a lawsuit!

I assume you mean the L-series (square) wagon. AFAIK the same rims fit them as the MY-series wagon (previous model). Speedie and sunraysia rims (13" or 14" for MY or L series subaru) fit, as well as peugeot 4 stud rims (but don't buy the rims that take metric tyres - you won't be able to buy off ...
