Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Unless you want to move to QLD as they still allow black pipe as cages... :rofl: So exactly how much stronger is a cage built from ERW than a cage built from pipe? Ask anyone who has bent both pipe and proper cage material and they will tell you the proper tube is so much more difficult to bend ...

you show me a comp in qld apart from the new OZ rules that do not allow black pipe cages.. because i cant, and if they do they dont enforce them like TTC didnt untill a few years ago.. WTC has been run under CCDA cage requirements for the last 4 years, The Mackay offroad challenge this year was ...

Yep!!!

Can't you just give it a good coat of oil then wrap it in some heavy duty packing wrap?

If you can jam a jimmy bar between the tie rod and the steering arm push down on it and then flog the steering arm around the the tie rod end it usually pops out pretty easy.

KEEEEEEEN!

Has anyone got a better way of contacting Ryano? I've tried calling and asking for Ryan about 15 times now and I've sent him an email with no reply.

Thanks mate, sent you a pm.

Is there rules anywhere for this comp?

Well it looks like I've got a Dana 70b for the rear ( Thanks Warren). Now I just have to sort out a front diff

Would something like that be the go?

Far out, is there a cheaper option at all? Or is that it? I see 14 bolts are pretty cheap but you still need all the shiny bits hanging off them yeah?

Ok, so If I got something like that. How much would I need to fork out to get them up to spec to be reliable on 40" tires?

I can't justify that expense to run 37's really

Well I'm sticking with the cruiser center because there is no way I'm running nissan bits in my toyota, the toyota gods would spite me to death or at least to bad luck with my racing. Also the only real advantage would be the hi pinion as I have never broken one or seen anyone break on that was set ...

Yeah, I know the 80 series ones are bigger or stronger I was just hoping for a numerical value so I could justify it. It will be going under my cruiser but I'm planning at putting a LS1 with a TH400 in it so nothing massive power wise but still enough to break shit.

hey guys looking into the next stage of my build and am considering what diff setup to run. I am going get some fabricated housing and stay with the 60 series center but I was considering a hybrid housing using 80 series outers. I already have all the 60 series outers off my current housings so is ...

Who me?

Awesome video mate. Well done.

I think that might be getting a bit technical for the home built rig... haha

Thanks for your input Ben. I'm pretty certain I'm going to stick with the th400, a 4L80E would be nice but it's out of my budget.

Thanks Brooksy, I managed to get hold of Phil (the auto builder). He said that the 4L60E will cost much more to build and be less reliable, so I'm inclined to go with his opinion as he seems to have a good reputation amongst the drag race community. I had a good chat with someone off outers today ...

Oh righto. The gearing is not a major issue, I have 4:1 transfer gears so that should be fine with the auto. It's be good to have setup so I could hold it in a gear for sections if I wanted to but I'd also like to just put it into drive and go.

Have you had much use with it since you put it in buggy?

G'day Guys, I'm entering a new phase with the Cruiser and changing a heap of things so it's more suited to the Aust4/U4 style of racing. This means i am going to go with a LS1 and Auto. I am a complete novice with autos so I need a bit of help. I have access to a free th400 which I would have built ...

No I put my hand up so at least everyone else gets to race.

Me? No, I'm not a winch boy. I might do one one day but I have my eyes set on a different series.

Mate speak to Breant Taylor, he is one of the organisers of WTC and he sells/stocks air freespool, motors kits etc. for himounts.

So there has been some changes, with there now being 17 teams competing ad a few teams have had car changes! There will most likely still be a couple more changes in the next week with some competitors realising they won't be ready in time. #1 Tree Huggers: 2 X GQ Utes, 1 X GU Ute #2 Dis-Traction ...

They're not all 4wd either are they?

How do you go finding parts for them sloth?
