Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I'm no expert but I would loosen the nut on the fuel in hose on top of injector pump ( 17mm ) and get someone to operate the hand pump or turn vehicle over so you can see and make sure diesel is coming out without bubbles. Once you get flow tighten back up. Then break the union on each injector ...

sorry to go off topic but what about the 2.8 motor in the earlier GU's and GQ's? I have a 4.2 and it's getting a bit dull putting in a quarter of my pay each week for fuel.....have been thinking I could handle less power if it came with less fuel bills. I know you are paying 6 cyl rego with them also.

are you crazy? a 4.5 litre petrol drinking monster for touring! with fuel prices of around $1.50 plus, I think I'd rather just take a little longer to get there with the little diesel. Just do your homework on the vehicles history, ie. how close is it for a major service ( think timing belt on the ...

sweet looking machine there mate, unfortunately I seem to keep getting distracted by your avatar

you know it'll hurt but you'll get over it everytime you can use your new forby to do car jobs! plus when you do go off road you will have something that will be heaps better in everyway ie. more comfy, capable, has a greater payload, won't leave you with as sore a back and you can drive, rather ...

Hi all after some deep water crossings on the weekend my head lights have got water in them. There is a small hole in them for an older style of parking lights that doesn't have a bulb and lets water in. Do you think it would be o.k to silicone up that hole without any adverse effects? It's not a ...

because the gasket kit for a SD33 T is about $650 and I'm sure it would be a case of " while you're in there may as well replace the....." and lets face it the old trolls aren't worth much anyway. It's just because it has so many good bits bolted to it thats making me want to keep it going. Trying ...

are you sure it's an MQ ? they have round head lights and a 24Volt electrical system. Also the motor would be the SD33. The MK has rectangular headlights and the SD33 or SD33T with factory turbo. Just look for the usual stuff, oil leaks around motor or gearbox/ transfer, swivel hubs and rear brake ...

yeah sorry obviously all the 24V things need to be swapped over. thanks it's a bit of a mission, might be easier to try and source another half descent SD33 T.

Hi all have found a descent SD33 motor and was going to put it in my MK which has a turbo. My question is can you just swap the inlet/outlet manifolds and the diesel pump n injectors over? The motor in my MK has a blown head gasket but everything else is good. Tah all.

HI all have scored a turbo off a Gu, going to put it on my GQ TD42. Do I need both manifolds? or just exhaust? any other advice? I'll keep searching the old threads.....tah

Hi there I know there has been a million td42 turbo posts but couldn't find anything specifically about adding a turbo and not upgrading everything else in the pump. Obviously adding a turbo will be benificial but will I get away with not doing the pump? or is it a waste of money and time if your ...

have a look at a backhoe on the road and you'll likely see the effects of water in tyres.....would be pretty ordinary at 100 K's I'd reckon, unless you like boating!

I used it on my GQ TD42, can't say I noticed any sludge come out or any particular difference in the motor. 340,000 on the clock so either my motor is pretty o.k or it didn't do anything...

might be bushes on panhard or main control arms, do you feel the clunk kinda under your feet? Best get a mate to slowly turn the wheel from side to side and look for any movement in the suspension links

a few more pics....more bar work on the rolly and a litttle test run... http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb157/Snarba3000/IMGA1038.jpg resulted in... http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb157/Snarba3000/IMGA1039.jpg time to reinforce the drag link to hold those 38's togeather http://i206 ...

fianlly got some good tyres...38" TSL's on flipped offset rims....



and a MIG ! 1st job,custom battery tray inside passenger side foot well

rock sliders and main roll bar in place, this was before I bought my Mig so I had to have the local welders do it...wasn't totally happy with the shape but you get that...didn't follow the lines I'd said but if you aren't there at the time... http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb157/Snarba3000 ...

time to shorten the chassis and get the gas tank further forward

out came the grinder and off came the bumpers and rear part of the roof and rear windows... http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb157/Snarba3000/IMGA0291.jpg then the rear panels http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb157/Snarba3000/IMGA0295.jpg now time to shorten the chassis and get rid of that old ...

Hi there folks thought it was about time I added some shots of my rover and it's transformation.....was a lifted 78' 3.5lt, auto on gas with working power steering, perfect for a buggy! oh and it had some worn 35's on it

yeah it would be a shame to cut it up... It always amazes me the state people let their vehicles get in paticularly in the wiring dept. There are wires everywhere, just twisted togeather with a bit of tape on MOST of the joins and going through the firewall all over the place with no gromets or any ...

Here she is in all her glory

Hiya all just bought an old 2 door with duel fuel, brand new tank, fuel lines and Holley Carbie running an auto with a B&M Shifter for the princely sum of $500. Needs a fair bit of work for roadworthy but I think it'll be the base of buggy number 2 !!! not sure yet though kinda regret chopping the ...

onya fellas, I'll pass on the news

just asking for a mate who wants to put a 5 speed Gbox in his Petrol MQ with the L28 motor....

I have a 3.5 old rover with a Holley carby that leaks petrol like a bastard so it's permanately on gas....no probs here

You do know it prob not legal? That aside if you do this on the front of an MK/MQ Patrol the welds will break away from the chassis where the front hangers go. Bazzle Why will it break ? is there really a huge diffence in forces on the hangers? I'm assuming most of the force will be twist as the ...

Hi there keen to build myself some extended shackles - 50mm on an MK Patrol shorty....wondering if it's important to extend the bumpstops or can the springs handle a little flex the other way? Standard, at full travel up, the springs are dead flat. I figure with the Ex shackles they will be forced ...

and I bought his 38's for my rover buggy
