Outer Limits 4x4 Board

If OME installed it, they shouldn't have a problem looking at a warranty you would think, unless you've added the tank or extra accessories/weight to it since the susp. was first installed.

If you don't have power steering currently, you can take a steering shaft out of a model with power steering (i may have this backwards), then have it shortened by an inch or 2 and it will fit right in without modifying the spline length, or using spacers. I'm pretty sure this is what i did with my ...

yeah, loose wire/bad connection. The temp guages in all my suzi's have always sit steady.

Take a look at what everyone runs, then what the competition has to offer and you'll soon see that this is the best option you have.

When you take a stock length strut vs. OME, it is about an inch longer in body length and 40mm longer in rod length, giving more travel.

there was this one guy on the internet the other day showing some rock sliders he made....

Dude, there's hundreds of places on the net to find pics of them.

That exchanges to just $140 at max...

Still a much better deal than you guys have to pay.

My 4-door hardtop vit cost me $80 for a year. I had to save up a long time for that one.

Someone keeps registering my stockman ute and it doesn't seem to cost me anything...

I wonder how much they're upcharging the cost of shipping. When i got my 2" body lift from them, it weighed almost nothing (3lbs maybe) and it was small like 5"x6"x6". I live here in the US, but i've also had stuff sent from RRO to Oz before (a lockright). Never have had a problem with them, and i ...

You can see in the article that the rear trail arms are the calmini stuff. I just thought it was funny that they didn't mentioned that brand of stuff in the article. Yeah, gotta find someone with good info on those upgraded cv's. I wonder about the pajero IFS fronts and how much stonger they may be ...

Anyone else catch the august issue of Overlander? Dude in there has a supercharged vitara and the poorly written article says that he has upgraded to use Pajero axles and cv's. I've never heard of this, and i've searched around on here with no luck finding pajero and cv used in the same sentence as ...

what size tires you doing all this for?

I've heard no good stories about these things. Everyone always calls and asks if they'll fit into the ARB bars.

The clutches aparently aren't nearly as strong as others (warn) and the solenoids don't last either. Cheap though, but probably won't last as long...

Both work fine. You've gotta have bushings on one end of it anyway, as they do almost all of the work of absorbing the shock. Most people use box steel if you can't replace the bolts with longer ones (vitaras), or because it's cheap and you can get it anywhere. Poly is fine because it lasts a long ...

Getting back to that 10mm rule for queenslanders... You could use whatever material you like, like as mentioned already, and just get some weatherstripping rubber stuff from clark rubber or someone and wack it on. You'd get 20mm thickness on the ends easy with the right stuff, then you can't get ...

I'd say find someone else who has done it and used it first before trying it. I know you can modify it for a low mount, but i'm just not so sure about the high. I guess you could mount it lower and brace it higher. Only the cruisers use a high mount from memory anymore.

what were you actually spraying? was it pressure packs, or spray gear? How far are the neighbours from your garage? That smell doesn't travel too far, as it dissolves in the outside air pretty quick. As long as it's not 2pack paint, just straight up show the council guy what you were spraying and ...

TBD....

I got a 2" "sports exhaust" from some regular guys in penrith, NSW, (can't remember the company, but it's a regular chain there), and it was $180. Sounded great, good work, never had a problem with it. Standard is 1.25 or 1.5" i think. This was on my 89 vitara, few years ago, but it was done without ...

I had lockers once..... in my high school. I used to keep books and crap in them.... What are axles? I keep hearing people talk about them, and i've been thinking about getting some for my sidekick, but i just don't know if i really need them. I think my truck runs just fine without them, but i'm ...

You know, since i currently work for arb, i wish i knew the answer for that. On almost all of the bars, the mounting system to the frame/chassis is exactly the same between winch and non winch. There is extra support though between the 2 mounting joints on the bar. There's a lot of support in there ...

you've gotta make sure the diff can still get the gear oil it needs. Also, you wanna watch how much oil runs down the tubes if it's upside down... How many times does anyone actually hit thier pinion anyway. I don't think i ever have. Better off building a stronger housing or shaving it I think ...

WD40 gets off some overspray paint without scratching it. I painted some trim off one of my vehilces recently and had mine and my wife's mountain bikes in the same garage. The white paint i was spraying got all over our red bikes. Took a while, but the WD40 and a rag took it all off... I reckon it'd ...

I believe in NSW, you can only go 20" wider than stock. 5.5" goes up to 7" i think. I'm pretty sure that's what the engineers told me when i had my report done some years ago.

Yeah, PM me. I'm also wanting to find out regular RRP for it there.

How much did you pay for that 3" calmini lift. It's $1000USD over here. I hear the shocks are utter crap that come with it, so most people switch them out, or get $50 off the kit price to not get the shocks with it. Shows you how much they're worth. Anyway, that kaos link didn't work without ...

In the 5 sierra's i've had, i've never replaced the pads because they wore out. They always had a chunk of meat left on them. They last forever on those 4x's. Bendix are really good quality though. I used to live not far from where they manufacture them in Tennessee.

found out today that some guys over here are using scuba tanks. A few thousand PSI, and not as big as a propane tank....

Try filling some tires up with that!!

Does it matter what kind of axles are under it?

What kind of axles does the trailer have? They do a crap load of work.

I'm trying to be humorous, although it has been under construction since at least '99 or so, right?

I can't believe those are 37's. With the cutting in the front it really looks proportional to a 30" with standard fenders.

Also, the speed of the work on it is just amazing. Hope you guys have fun this weekend. Wish i could go...

rustoleum + roller = nice paint job.

Takes about half an hour for the whole car. Only thing to watch is roller lines...
