Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I dont have any real tips for your gear-stick problem, however there are 3 different configurations of top cover plate on the earlier landcruiser 5 speed gearboxes. Basically the 40 series 5 speed had the hole in the cover plate further forward than the 60 series (making the gear stick closer to the ...

I was chatting to a guy from a suspension shop in Melb (maybe outback 4wd suspensions or something like that) and they did the Add-a-Coil set up. As was already sait, leaf's are removed and compensated for by a custom made coil which takes the majority of the weight of the car...what your left with ...

cheers guys, I've got 4.5 L in to be 'safe' so that should at least be plenty to crank it over without the plugs in, I'll probably add a little more once its running. 351ciofgrunt, I wasn't sure if I had a dipstick that was too long/short for my sump, which has been that case with a mate of mine ...

hey guys, not sure if this is the best place to put this question to the masse, but i figured small blocks ore going into more than just cruiser's and patrol's. Moderators please feel free to tell me where to stick my post :oops: How much (at a minimum) oil should i put into my chev V8 (first fill ...

yeah GO79, that's what I was tyring to refer to lol, the gearbox in the fzj (i was told from 90 onwards, but it may very well be 92 onwards) has the smaller flange only on the front. (and i think a smaller flange on the diff) I am also only assuming (again from what i have been told) that the fzj 75 ...

OIIIIIIIO "8" rims will be great but don't go any bigger you will roll your beads off if you intend to lower your pressure like you say." Migh seem like a silly question, but why is this so? i understand that there's less pulling 'in' of the sidewall to the rim on a 10" rim as opposed to an 8" rim ...

for what its worth, i've recently put a 5 speed in my shorty. i had 33's and 35's on behind the 4 speed and both were okay and it cruised 'economically' at around 85-90 on the speedo, approx 100km/h. with the 5 speed though and 33's, 100 on the dial (approx 110-115km/h) and it'll still have a little ...

as Wambat cited, taking some of the thicker load carrying leaves out of your spring pack will soften your spring noticeably, allowing for more flex and a more supple ride. if you're not overly keen on toying with your spring pack set-up, my old man had a 2in lift kit in his 60 from old man emu and ...

thanks for the tips and advice guys... i actually found out the FZJ 5 speed box was fitted in 90-99 model 75's and had smaller bolt pattern on the front output flange on the transfer (to suit the smaller diff i was told), whereas the FJ 5 speed box (fitted in pre 90 model 75's) had the larger ...

g'day, i'm putting what i think is most likely a 75 series 5 speed into my 45. the problem i've come upon is that i think it has the smaller flange for the front output on the transfer. centre measurements across the diagonal on the flange are ~85mm and around the 'rectangle' are ~25mm and ~33.5mm ...

i went to McNamara Differentials (the place that make them) a while back and the guy showed me through their air-locker set up (side by side to and arb one) and he basically said we've taken the arb job, pulled it down and found its weaknesses, fixed them and made it stronger. they looked to be ...

this is how my austop sits, the back was unzipped which adds a little tautness, and this was when it first went on, so i dunno if its shrunk or i've got my hoops in a different spot, but it looks nicer than in the pics i think... just to give you an idea anyway. i'm pretty sure the company posts aus ...

$1200 is cheaper than what i got quoted by my local upholsterer ($1600ish) to have one custom made...i shopped around a little more tho and found a company called austops. they make a full soft top in a couple of colours, with windows and all fitting gear (press studs, screws and hoops) for around ...

thanks guys... 4H is the name of the place i was thinking of... how muh were the springs made by belton in campbellfield? the reason i'm chasing them up is i've got a 45 series cruiser with later model spring hangers on the front and atm i'm running what were sold to me as 'custom 4" springs' but ...

i recall seeing on ebay and advertisement for 4" springs to suit 60 series cruisers...does anyone know who/where sold these? i read someones comment in a thread on here mentioning them, but i can't find that particular post atm. i thought hobzee might have had them but can't recall...any info would ...

the 4.5 petty's go pretty hard (as mentioned) i'd think by around the 400k mark you'd be looking at giving it a freshen up (depending on its history). a mate of mine has 415k on his, been running on gas mainly and has noticed the power drop between when he bought it and 180k k's later...it still ...

hey guys, toying with the idea of putting a 2h into my 45 as opposed to a V8 and doing the turbo thing for some more berries... is there much (if any) difference in the actual block of the 2h compared to (my standard) 2f? ie engine mount location/bellhousing pattern and the rest i don't think would ...

some blokes part out their fourby's (a lot of 60's especially) whille they're still in one piece...if you can test drive one with the gearbox in, give it a few good, hard stabs in each gear...if it jumps out of gear let it go. if it holds its gears and it slots in without too much hassle you're more ...

G'day, i've just pulled a chev small block out of one of my shorty's to get rebuilt and was looking to find some info on the mob that made the bellhousing adaptor for it. it reads K&M CHASSIS DISTRIBUTORS K.O.T. just wondering if anyone has a bellhousing from the same people or knows if the business ...

just wondering if anyone knew of the problem we're having with a customer's 04, TB48 Patrol... every now and then the dash lights (not the warning lights but the lights that illuminate the speedo/tacho etc of a night) cut out, and in turn the tacho and speedo feel the need to refrain from working ...

I've got a 40 series swb with a 4.2 2f motor and an fj45 which had the bog stock 4.0 f motor, but has just been changed to a 2f as well. both are on gas and both turn reasonable sized rubber. the 40: runs 35 inch claws, standard 4 speed box and will sit on 110km/h down the highway without any dramas ...
