Outer Limits 4x4 Board

thanks guys for the help... i appreciate it.. back to the drawing board...

there is a place on coombes drive in penrith, all you need to do is talk to a mate who has a 2tonne work vehicle that could help you get it there

hi guys, sorry if this has been covered a million times, i tried searching but am useless with search functions.


i have heard cruiser centres swap into hilux diffs.

my question is which high pinion diff centre will fit into my rear hilux diff.

i am doing a build on my sierra, i am using hilux ...

when an lpg tank is in the heat, it will get vapour lock, meaning that it wont let fuel out or in.. happen alot with forklifts in the heat/sun.

i had trouble staring an lpg commonwhore today for this reason.

just try to keep it in the shade i guess. but then again, some people might tell you that ...

have you thought about shaving your diff?

i havent had any experience on this, but, in theory, if you cut out an inch off the bottom of your diff, you will be getting the same benefits as running a 2" bigger tyre than what you have.

i.e every 2 inches you go bigger on your tyres, you only gain an ...

i agree.

all i was saying is that if he wanted to add more weight for more taction, imo... he should not put it to the rear, for the reasons i had stated.

if its wheel spinning on hill climbs that you are worried about, you should realise that when on an incline you are putting more of the weight on the rear wheels.

i you put too much weight at the back of your truck it will just want to lift the front which will result in no traction on the front ...

cool...

hope it all falls into place as you plan...

again... good work.

top work bloke, i love the idea of a little budget camper.

quick question... do you think your shackle angle will give the trailer a bumpier ride? or does it sit at mor of a 45deg angle when loaded?

the lean is standard. when i bolted my age up to my 3sp auto, i made the flange on the auto sump sit level, when i did this it sat the motor on a slight lean.

Really? I don't remember this from my 4age zook, or are you talking gze's & auto's only?


when i set up my motor and box bolted together ...

i used 70x35 rhs for the brackets, they were welded to a 4mm plate and bolted to the engine block. i used engine mounts from an f series ...

im doing the 4age conversion at the moment.


you will have to muck around with the fueltank too..... efi!

modify oil sump so you dont smash it on your diff!

im running an auto box..... its a much harder fit than what the t50 looks like, i had alot of tunnel clearance issues and had to do a body ...

i looked around, for a motor with exchange your looking at upto $1500.

try chequered flag auto wreckers too. they seemed much cheaper $850.

if i was to do a conversion (if thats what your thinking) i would be more inclined to try and find a written off vit. atleast that way you can sell off what ...

gday mate. you'll love it. i have a 89 model.

all you will need to know about modding your zook can be found in here....

many people have asked alot of questions you have and this has most of the answers.

it looks a little more tan just panel damage. the b pillar has been bent too.

for the b pillar, get a ratchet strap or winch and pull back in the opposite direction to try and straighten that up a little.

try and fix a winch or ratchet to the rear 1/4 too. might get some of the structural bends ...

there is a guy from auszookers named norm, he had a g13b turboed and loved it, ended up killing it and is now running a 1.6l.

he was running 35's spoa. look for him and ask some questions.

personally i think the 1.6's are the better go. but if you have your heart set on the 1.3 turbo then he is ...

if you have 7 months before you get off your p's then be realistic... if your going to do your conversion the right way.. and you say you have the time to do it, then go straight for the turbo, if you set out to rebuild your motor, buy all the right bits and get everything done how you want the ...

if it is the 7afe check up to see if its the same bolt pattern for the rear to the gearbox, if it is you can also run a 3sp auto. just another thought you may be interested in.

UNVEILING??????

im sure im not the only one hanging to see this finished!

point noted.... i should read a ilttle more i guess....

cheers bloke

you have lifted your springs so now the distance between your two shock mounting points is further away.... buy longer shocks... that way you will get even more flex seeing you have the room to go more before bumping out.

thanks mate,

is that just some nb pipe? used or did you stay with tube?

hi all.

currently doing a 4afe engine conversion (4age/fe = same block) in my 89 wt sierra and im considering whether to use the orginal corolla engine mounts or to go with something different.

to me the corolla ones seem the best option but im keen to hear from others whohave done this conversion ...

awesome work lady,

my build up has been sitting in the garage for 2 months now.... bugger all progress. sorta makes me feel a little inferior. ill fix it.. .wheres the beer!

something like this, i'd like to se covered by 4wd tv.

excellent work, good to see your not out on the streets hittin on ...

more freebie promos.... for example for being the first to reply you could give me a set of crawler gears for free...

a bolt on ready to go power steering set up would be nice ( unless thats what your talking about with the ots)

do you do a twin stick set up at all?

mate if its a stock vit motor, then just run the stock ecu.

keep your wolf one if it can be tuned and what not or otherwise sell it as a package on a suzuki swift forum.

new sunnys are atleast$60 each theres $240 alone.... plus rubber. $400 sounds fair, depending how thrashed the tyres are maybe $350.

when after 6 days people can still add more things while people who own other insuperior makes of 4bs have to stop after 5mins ie


you know you own a .....(insert shit box here) when you have zook tyre marks over your lifted trucks bonnet

did you use the carby that came with the motor or your old one???

it takes longer to tune the carby than it does to remove the whole motor
