Outer Limits 4x4 Board

If you see a 300C behind you flashing it's lights, that'll be me. On the wrong side of the road trying to overtake you.

I'm driving from LAX to Hammers the morning of Mon 8 if anybody needs a ride.

Ute, or wagon? Wondering if there'd be much a difference in the drain holes...

Still keen to know if I can bring a crawler (running non-sticky 37's and a 2.0 litre 3SFE - might just be competitive!)

Can I run in a rock crawler? (vehicle meets CCDA requirements)

WEEKEND CANCELLED

Yesterday afternoon I found out that at this late stage we are unable to use the properly. badmudda has made last-minute attempts to find a new site included a 4wd park at Singleton, but this is is a fair bit further for the Sydney participants - especially for those who were up ...

Ben, I'll see if I can get someone to load it onto a trailer for me. Just remember - it won't do 90 mph no matter how hard you stand on it!

Only four more sleeps (three if you're staying Friday night)!

Unfortunately I won't be driving myself, last week in the snow I tried to remove one of my legs and now need a knee reconstruction. This means I am physically unable to get in and out of my buggy - even drunk with two people helping and ...

Yes and just confirmed: yes.

Owner just asks that we turn up after 6.00 pm on the Friday. I'll be there Friday evening with my shitbox in tow.

Updated the list of people interested (makes it easier for me to send directions etc).

Still waiting on confirmation of Friday night camping, but I don't expect this to be a problem.

napsta is organising a portashitta and I'm organising a bbq - I'll chuck $50 towards a Saturday lunch bbq, that ...

plus there are a few more non moon buggies around.

Put on a buggy class and I'll definitely be there.

I'm thinking a limiting strap on the rear diff aught to stop me smashing it again.

Damien thought you already had one on there?

Just a supercheap boat/trailer winch - yank it hard enough and it unwinds. Think I'll use a length of chain and throw some heat shrink over it so it doesn't rattle so ...

I got the ok for Sat night but just to be sure I'll ask about Fri night.

Thanks guys! I'm thinking a limiting strap on the rear diff aught to stop me smashing it again.

I got my rebuilt disconnect from Yuri yesterday - this afternoon I'll have a 4wd rock crawler, instead of a front wheel drive only carpark crawler.

Crawling weekend organised at Bucketty (pictures in a previous thread: Private property Bucketty. ). Bucketty is around 30 km inland from Peats Ridge, NSW - so pretty much a neat 100 km from Sydney CBD and about the same ...

Nag, nag. I'd like to come break my POS some more.

Pic later... use dual axles with Landcruiser hubs and tandem rocker springs. Runnign 31'' wheels the arches are built to drive over when loading, but still fit a falcodore without ramping the guards.

Seconded, I'm keen as to find terrain suitable for rock crawling.

These two links meet half of your criteria ("has used a company": both manufacture conversion bellhousings)

First run Saturday it couldn't decide if it wanted to be a 3 wheel drive or a 1 wheel drive. Sat night fixed locker plus front driveshaft. First run Sunday it broke the rear uni joint and smashed the steer pump off.

I was talking with someone from CRS on a different topic and they advised they had spent a lot of money in the last 12 months sorting out problems like incomplete kits.

They believe their quality has improved a lot.

Both kits I refer to were purchased 1.5 and 2 years ago, so there is hope that ...

now with all rodshop things ive seen do the bolt holes actually line up properly ??
And did it come with all the bolts? The correct bolts?
Still, it could be worse... it could have come from Dellow Automotive.
could some one please expand on these issue as i am about to purchace a bellhousing ...

I've never put one in a wagon, thought I do have one behind a Hilux dual cab.

Bleed: from all the high points that have low points either side I have bleed hoses that run to the radiator overflow.

My radiator sits twenty centimetres from the back of the cab. It's a late model commodore auto ...

My radiator is rear mount and was engineered, blue slipped and registered this way (NSW).

I'm in, I'll worry about dates and conflicting events later (I'm hopefully that one of the weekends will be my sister in law's wedding and I'll have an excuse not to attend).

You'd want to hope they can fabricate better than they can spell.
