Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Ironman are too firm and leak.

Seen some outright dangerous failures (mounting "ring" seperating from shock body) with EFS.

go get a proper lift.

in my experience with ford rangers (same car) old man emu suspension gave my mates bit of lift and made it much more comfortable to drive. just needed to lift your leg a bit higher to get in!

just wondering what people think is the better locker now that the tjm ones have been out for a while. arb or tjm? cheers That's a reasonable question, lockers are a big investment and if I was buying new I would want to research it too. Hope you get some sensible answers, I have only ever owned ...

you all have it wrong. a radiator is a great heat exchanger. it can get rid of the heat very quickly. its the water running through the engine that cant exchange heat fast enough. if water is flowing too fast through an engine block it will not have sufficent time to absorbe heat from the engine ...

Run independant front brakes :lol: 1 spins? Brake that wheel and the other will drive! Never seen that in action though. Would be alot of work.. You could run a line lock on each line ? :idea: Correct me if I am wrong, but do air lockers unlock when under load. Say you are going up a steep, rocky ...

looks like he should be sticking to the track and not destroying the bush.

i want one

has the head been apart???? valve adjustments correct? (do 2f's have hydrolic lifters??? maybe need to pump up)

i would attempt to tow start it for a few hundred meters then look at borrowing coils etc if it does not start.

im sure that you can see fuel mist in the carby when you pump it.

just drill a hole in the top of the fuel bowl, tap a thread, screw in an airline fitting, run airline to your boost. easy boost referenced carby. you may need to up your fuel pressure (or drop boost pressure) if you find that it is always leaning out

forgot to lock one of the hubs in?
its possible that its stripped teeth off the crown wheel/pinion. It will all move in a no load situation like you discribe. is generally very noisey though.

is that spacer really homemade? looks like it has been in there for a while.
maybe its supposed to be on the inside next to the cv.

i run all my diff breather/air locker lines strait up on the flex brake line with a little slack. never had a problem. from there i will follow any brake line, fuel line or wiring loom that makes it easiest and keeps the line as high as possible to avoid "snagging". i dislike attaching to handbrake ...

just chuck a charger on it, pressurise the fuel bowl in the carby and tune

how can anyone not put 2 o rings into there groves and not slide it on properly. its damn near impossible to f@#k up. i think its more that the sleve is only held in with a piece of wire that allows it to rooster onto an angle and prematurely wear

pull the head off and send it to a cylinder head specialist to be crack tested and re-surfaced. no point spending extra cash on a newer 3f that is exactly the same.

if it didnt move it will be fine. its not a common thing to go wrong but it is a cause of seal failure and very easy to check. a bit of air coming out is ok its when it blows a gail with traces of smoke you have problems. sounds like you just need to throw some seals at it. i personally dont care if ...

its pretty hard to install the seals the "wrong" way. the new type design lockers they have changed the shape of the seals because there is obviously a design fault there. you could put the piston seal in the wrong way

did you set your preload correctly and install new bearings?

afro its not leaking to bad by the sounds of it. 170,000 out of a rear main seal is pretty good.

the crank endfloat should be fine at 170,000kms. basically by prying the balancer back and forwards against the engine you can see if there is any movement in the crank.

i would say you didnt put the front seal in straight or you accidently lost the spring from the inside off the seal or gouged the metal quiet bad getting the old seal out. how many kms has the engine done and how bad is it leaking? if leaking bad its strange to blow both front and rear seals at the ...

looks like a bad time too be admitting i just got a job with the company mentioned above, fitting the above products.

ehh the pays good.

I am installing some eye bolts into the back off my hilux for tieing down dirtbikes for trips away. basically the way im doin it is 1 eye bolt in each front corner and 1 in the front center of the tray that i will run 2 tie downs off (1 for each bike) What im asking is will 55mm washers under the ...

Got mine retested, passed fine even though as I found out the AFL valve doesn't work

We pull the valves out on purpose and only do a full fill when heading out the bush and need some decent range. The car is never parked with a full tank.

a propperly maintained K&N wont filter dust.

someone that doesnt know how to clean and oil a K&N properly will loose the airflow they claim to provide.

Stay with standard. I would prefer to loose a bee's dick of stuff all performance on a fourby to make sure the engine was well protected.

If you want to get technical NOS isnt a fuel.

generally speaking it can be very unsafe in a vehicle, As with every other type of pressurised cylinders unless designed with failsafes like vehicle lpg cylinders.

hold the shocker gently with a large set of multi-grips

LMAO the 2wd and 4wd ranger have a completly different engine.(unless its a high rise 2wd with a 3L) Its more then a "front diff and suspension lift". By doing it you would be wasting your time. If you wanna trade yours in on a 4wd (it would be cheeper, easier and have some resale value down the ...

New gasoline engine will deliver H.P 400
This is for sure.

yer maybe the saudi version. Aussie version probably gets the grenade and IFS as usual

use the figures at the wheels. 6L with charger is 298 rwkw. 5.7 monaro with mid spec cam (not crazy lumpy), mild head job, and throttle body 308rwkw. Alot cheeper then a charger and less cop bait. I would think once you bolt a charger on a 6L you would quite easily and safely get alot more mumbo out ...

This looks very shit considering its got a water to air cooler and T-Trim.

My brothers 5.7 with a cam, head work and throttle body makes more power.

nah i dont need a hobby haha i train 6 days/12 hrs a week, and dont like messing around with the new stuff :) thanks for the info guys i will look in to it more but i think its kinda straght forward the 2wd and 4wd models are identical besides hight and front trive train. the barnd new triton 2wd ...
