Outer Limits 4x4 Board

lol fair enough, i like it... i rekon itd look quite good with a few other mods like adding the wheel arches off the 79, painting the rear pillars black so the glass looks like it wraps around... i just rekon itd be relatively easy as the two trucks are very similar in shape, they even have the same...

hey all, was just wondering if anyone had seen a 60 series with a 79 series front end conversion. the two vehicles are similar in size and shape but obviously with almost 30 years between them. i cant see it being that difficult, just a bit of fab and bodywork. i have an example here.... http://img6...

hey all, Im back! ages and ages ago i used to own a black, lifted isuzu mu with black sunrasiers and bfg all terrains..... you may remember me. well times have changed and i now own a black and silver 94 jackaroo 3.2 v6! and i have some queries! I am planning on lifting the jack and i want the bigge...

grand, thanks mate

ok, so no bigger tyre. still raising the back

All the IFS lifts like that just drop everything down as in the diff gets spaced down 4-5 inches and the Lower A-arm and the torsion bars, shocks... So it should be like driving the same car with maybe 100kg on the roof racks... lol mmk, probably best to leave it where it is then. i took some measu...

how does the ifs lift kit perform? or have you ever seen one?

I just found sumthing interesting, an isuzu TFR (looks like a rodeo) in thailand with a 1uz-fe, and a crazy looking lift on IFS. full pics and writeup, in Thai!!! :rofl: http://www.weekendhobby.com/offroad/Isuzu/question.asp?page=4&id=8375 that is still IFS, howd they get so much lift? http://im...

Jackaroo's from 1992 on have slightly bigger brakes than yours. Yours are the same as the Jackaroo UBS17 front 257mm rear 265mm The UBS25 Jack has front 280mm rear 313mm do yo think theyd be substantial enough for the v8? also im running 15 inch sunraisers, will the brakes fit inside them? Are you ...

maybe its your altenator, could be doing sumthing weird, can you smell a burning electronics smell coming from the altenator when its hot? if so u need a new altenator.

ok found out the gearbox will work as the shaft is on the same side as the mu! horray.

if you made some engine mounts for fitting custom engines like holden v6 and v8 of some sort, "the easiest v8 to fit in " that would be sweet! id buy a pair off you any day of the week.

thanks for the info mate, do you know where i can read up on this jack8 build?... the plan for the mu is to make it fast on the road, but also still fairly good offroad. im raising the rear again with some extended shackles, and fitting 33" x 12.5" r15's and on the front remain the 32"...

no hvnt looked at anything yet, what size are the jacks discs? and what are the calipers? twin piston? single?

no one has any info...?

g'day, after being dicked around buy people wanting pics and then never getting back to me about buying the darn thing ive decided to go v8, as the sole reason i wanted it gone was because it was too slow. here are the specs of what i want to do: holden 304 v8 hilux surf r151 box marks adaptors bell...

hi there fellas, i just need to know a few mesurments of the r151 box.

1 from bellhouse to gearbox mount
2 from bellhouse to shifter

also if anyone can be assed taking a photo of the way the r151 is mounted onto the crossmember that would be dandy.
cheers

yeh id be interested in the shakles and fmic kit. its a good idea, im always looking for places that make stuff for the 4jb1t. and id say there are alot more people itching to get more power out of them lol.

thing is i have to put my foot flat all the time, id get more acceleration in a stage coach.

my truck gets 500 to 50 litres

whats the economy like? how many k's do you get to a full tank?

hey blowout what size tyres are they? they look like 33's, and i see you chopped a bit of the front styling off to get them in there, do nyou have to chop that much off? or can it be done without doing that much chopping?

shit really? that makes it so much harder :( is there any build up threads for MU's? id just like tosee how its done so i can get a rough estimate of the cost.... the diesel doesnt cut it for me, v8 would be perfect, as there is only so much you can do to the diesel... so if anyone knows send me a p...

HI THERE I WAS TOLD IT THE SAME BOX AS CRESSIDA BY MY AUTO GUY WITH A TRANSFER CASE ON IT WHAT SORT OF RODEO ARE YOU LOOKING FOR ? if thats true then the 5 speed supra box will fit it aswell, and if the 5 speed supra box fits it then does that mean that the cressida engine will fit the isuzu mu 5 s...

hey guys, got a bit of a quirey, does anyone have a template of the isuzu gearbox for the 2.8 td 5 speed 4x4? i just want to see if i can find a bellhousing adaptor thats similar... im looking for an adaptor for a holden 304... also does anyone know the code for the gearbox e.g. 1uzfe..
cheers

i have a question about mu's jackaroo's and rodeo's... do they all have the same engine mounts? and what year do they change them if they are different at all, because i have found a rodeo quadcam v6 from a 1998 model, and wanted to know if it would drop straight onto the engine mounts i have now......

how did u get that much lift? and can you lock the front wheels fully? or do the tyres scrape the wheel arch?

yeh maybe aye i dont know, some kinda shit like that. i bought an xf falcon ute for 250
mad bush basher! 4 speed manual with redline intake manifold and holley carb, extractors and lsd, its my weekend burnout machine! :p pics soon!.

i really dont know, ill find out for thos with the mu's cause i know evryone wants bigger lift. this could be the first leagal lift kit availible. to give a rough idea of how much it can lift, the owner of the place has a hilux and its raised of its tits running 35" tyres. hes going to use the ...

my garage (where i get all my work done) has told me that they are ordering a bunch of lift kits which are designed differently or sumthing, anyways they make it possible to lift the mu more than the normal 5 inches, when he has this lift availible i will be getting it straight away, he said it shou...
