Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi Guys My diff is stuffed in my 84 ln65 hilux. I need to organise a reco for it. I know of only one diff place around Penrith (Western Manual), and last time I was there I had a big argument with the fella and we nearly came to blows - no way he's touching my truck again, he's a dickhead. Anyone ...

It's not the unis or centre bearing - it's the diff :(

Just got back from the mechanics.

So...now to look for a reco 4.5 diff! Bummer!

Cheers dudes.

I've got an 83/84 Hilux. Can someone tell me, how much movement should the tail shaft have inside the centre bearing? 1-2 inches? A clicking noise has starting coming from the drive train somewhere. Its worse when going up a hill in 1st gear, its a bit better in second gear, and isn't there at all ...

This is unliley but worth mentioning - check the battery terminals are nice and tight. Exactly what you've described has happened to me before (accessories dying when hitting a bump), and I just needed to tighen my terminals.

Guys

The fan on my hilux 4wd isn't cutting in, just wondering what the quickest / easiest way to test if its the fan itself, or if its wiring?

I've got a VN motor in it, im not sure if the fans from the VN, or the Hilux (I didn't do the conversion)

These things absolutely hammer (I saw some today, easy doing 60km/h), and you can get them on ebay for $600-$700 apparently!

Check them out!!!!

Has anyone had any experience with the "Nitto Mud Grappler"

See http://66.54.67.57/tires_mudgrappler.asp

This is a pretty new type - apparently "Nitto" are a big name in the drag racing tyre industry?

Any experiences? Anyone know prices?

> and anymore than 50mm body lift is illegal.

Unless engineered, right? I have 4 inch body lift in my hilux, engineered. Past by RTA?

I have a similair setup.

No idea what they've done with my front tail shaft, I thought it was standard. I'll take some pics and send them too you.

Yep I have the MARKS conversion..... So It's a Commodore clutch I'd have. Could I just go and buy a VN Commodore Clutch kit, and that'd have everything I need to completely replace it? (I'll be getting someone to do it for me, won't be attempting myself). I think given that I've got a series 1, I'll ...

If I did decide to get the clutch replaced instead of fitting an auto - would it be a hilux clutch, or a commodore clutch? Gearbox is original hilux. The adapter has me all confused.

Mines a series 1 VN motor ( I think ). Whats the easiest way to tell?

Does anyone have a suitable adapter kit and auto box for sale?

Hi People, I have an 84 hilux with a VN V6 Commodore motor (3.8L) and a standard 5 speed hilux gearbox. The clutch is gone and needs replacing, but I want to put an automatic gearbox in it. Can anyone steer me in the right direction? Anyone done this before? What would I be looking at replacing? And ...

Howdy, Firstly - I know jack about cars, so don't tell me I can do this myself - Trust me, I can't :-) I have an 84 hilux. It's making a few weird noises here and there, and has a couple of slow leaks (one coming from the power steering box, the others im not sure). The CV's need doing too, they ...

Dunno if it's gen 1 or gen 2. I'll attach a couple of pics, can anyone tell me?

PS: dow50r sent me a PM - he's got a tailgate to suit for $20, so Im taking that! Thanks for the replies...

As in subject, must be in good condition....name your price.

Howdy, I have an 84 Hilux with a VN EFI V6 in it. I 4wd all the time but no jack about fixing stuff when it breaks. I have a pretty loud clicking noise coming from the front end, not only when turning but when going in a straight line too. I've been told be a few people that its probably my CV's ...

I was suprised to see that "4b" was still available as a NSW number plate!

Someone should grab it, i would if I could afford the $400 a year!

Yeah Ryan that was me......
