Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hey mate. cheers for following along with the build. unfortunately i have had a bit of a slow time with the car in the past week or so. have been busy between uni and work and everything else. I will definitely have a update in the next week. The project is definitely still progressing but i don't ...

thanks for the interest in the build.

I haven't had a huge amount of free time at the moment and when i have its been raining so not a huge amount of progress has been made unfortunately. I did get the cylinder head reconditioned and get the parts i needed for the rebuild. I also stripped, cleaned ...

the other thing that can do that is tyres. often you will feel the lugs at low speeds or when taking off slowly but will feel smoother when at high speeds. could be the cause. if you can borrow a set of highway terrains of a mate to check could be an option (if you know anyone with 6 stud rims with ...

Writen my angryelmo on a mates account by accident:

as far as my understanding was if u get stuck on the bonus and get
retrieved u can continue and get the points from then on and just not the bonus point, and if thats not the case it would have to have been told that at the time because it was ...

i know it has been a while since i have posted... however today i got a small job done that i wasn't keen on doing. I converted the cable clutch to a hydraulic setup. as many of you keen readers would know, i am installing a hilux gearbox, which runs a hydraulic setup which is superior to a cable ...

if i remember correctly it was mighty mouses project and it never eventuated in that form. a better engine solution was found from a mazda turbo engine.

hi guys, this isn't really huge progress but at least i had the time to do something. Got the engine onto the stand and started to strip it down. I actually got a pleasant surprise when i pulled it apart. The motor has done nearly half a million km's in the corolla. I knew it had a freshen up at ...

unfortunately i have been held up, yet again, in the project. Some guy who was supposed to be buying one of my other cars to help fund the project turned out to be a scamming bastard who was trying to steal the car and rob me. Fortunately i didn't loose any money but i also didn't gain any or sell ...

yes. well actually it was an applause motor to start with so it worked well. I have a 4age for mine with a ct9 turbo for it. hopefully i will get some work done for it tomorrow and take some photo's

some pics

ill update this list a bit more when i work out what i want to sell but here is a start.

- Lukey extractors (about 12 months old) -$120
- starter motor - $40
- Gearbox (has a rattle under load but i replaced all the bearings) -$180
- injected manifold (would suit someone converting from carby) $100 ...

got a bit of work done on the weekend. removed the engine from the fez and put it in my mates g200 charade with the applause cam again. runs great. also ordered my gearbox adapter from dellow automotive (cost $500) and got a turbo (ct9) to strap to the 4age :) will be removing the 4age from the ...

all ready pre-approved by my engineer. (he was going to let me put a 3rz-fe with hilux box in before i changed my mind to this). everything im doing will be legal (as far as the body lift, engine, box and diffs) The engine capacity is staying the same and the increase in power is not enough to ...

cheers guys. dellows do an adapter for the g5- series hilux boxes to the 4age engine (among others) and they are in NSW. there are also a couple of other companies in NZ that do it as well and another guy from Malaysia who i got told can get me one for $400. The bellhousing has the same bolt pattern ...

although it may not sound like it at first yesterday was a very good day for me. i bought the wife a new car. Why would buying the wife a new car be good for me? well, she was so happy that she is getting a new car i can use the old motor from the other for an engine swap into the feroza! :P (i ...

sorry it took me so long to get back on to show you some pics of the sliders. These were build last min for a trip and are basic as to make. i mounted them the way i did so they could be removed easily (when i get round to doing a better job) and don't cause hangup problems along the chassis rails ...

yep.... get some 50mm pipe and a grinder and some plate.... ill take some photo's of them too

some nice looking bars there fellas. i made mine out of 5mm plate so its nice and solid. have hit a tree off road with it and it came out fine :)

hey mate, i recently made a bullbar for a 310 as well. its not too difficult to design depending what you want. (eg. winch mounts, if you have a body lift, tube or plate). i will take some photos of mine tomorrow to show you what i did and how i mounted it.

last time i checked i thought feroza's (especially wide tracks) have a low center of gravity as they have a fibreglass roof, are 15mm wider track than a hilux and are spua. the problem with fitting a different motor is the height available in the engine bay. Unless you do a body lift many engines ...

hey mate. i left my original water pump in as it makes no difference in flow due to the ridiculous clearances. you can hook it up to the ignition if you want to test it temporarily. if you want to run off ignition davies craig recommends removing the thermostat to stop pressure building up on half ...

just thought id give my 2 cents worth as ive fitted a electric water pump with good results. i fitted a new radiator and an extremely effective thermo fan and still experienced overheating under load. after fittiing an electric water pump i have been able to 4wd with the A/C pumping !!! i fitted ...

GAH!!!!!!! have been called into work this week and had uni so havent had a chance to finish the bar off yet. its nearly done. have worked out all the mounts and have had the bar fitted. just working on the indicators and the hoop and then paint and its done!!!! i have got 2 of the boxes cut for the ...

hey. sorry it took me so long to reply again. the water pump i used is a davies craig 80L/min one and cost me about $160. it is a bit short on space (thats why i had to relocate the overflow bottle). The electric fan i used is quite slim and saved some space compared to the origional fan shroud. the ...

just before christmas time the engine in my feroza dropped a valve. i replaced it with a applause motor. before that i had been experiencing the common overheating dramas during 4wding and other times. i had already fitted a 16" thermo fan however was still experiencing overheating drama's due to ...

in my post about the 1770 trip i said i can get a brand new genuine radiator for $360 ish if i recall...... i think retail is about 500 for a wt feroza from toyota

hey everyone, from the thread title I'm sure you are thinking I'm asking for some suspension information however i have actually got some from my rig!!!

(for interest sake i drive a 1996 f310 wt)

a trip was proposed to me from my future father in law to drive up to 1770 and back from brisbane over ...

as you can see from the guard covers its a lexus dealership and the guy has 2 lexus as well. he obviously has more money than sense and just uses this as his "run around". still no excuse to let your car get to a point where its dangerous for the other road users

just a visual reminder to everyone to remember to wash down your vehicle after you go to the beach and make sure you do those little general maintenance items.

any locker is a good locker... even a cig :) however i like the fact you can know when your air locker is on and off :) worth the money imo. yes i already know im crazy and have a bad habit of spending lots of money on cars that cost as much as my shirt :P at least when i sell the patrol ill have ...
