Outer Limits 4x4 Board

PM Sent!

Ironically the new owner wanted to take the electronic version I had.
Nevertheless I am sure there is someone out there who wants it.

G'day Heven't been on this forum for a while as I sold the Feroza. The other day I was cleaning the garage and I found my factory workshop manual. It was a great reference for those learning about their cars. I ordered a copy of this service manual when I used to work for Daihatsu back in the day ...

Hey guys, This question has probably been asked a million times however I need to make the right decision on what 4x4 to buy next. As you might already be able to tell I have had a Feroza for a few years I loved it and modified it quite a bit. 3.5 inch lift and 31s on a Feroza! Big achievement. Sold ...

I have a work car. Just like my other one would be fine. F300 with 31x10.5
and all the other goodies I had.
Never considered a Rocky.
Turbo Diesel would be nice.

Something to consider.

Thanks guys.

Thank you very much.

Hey guys,

got a mate who just got a 2009 D22 4x4.

He wants to put some bigger tyres on in.
What's the biggest size tyre you can put on the vehicle without suspension
mods.

Cheers.

Hey guys, this is not technical nor its going to help anyone. I am just whinging that I have done a very very stupid thing. I sold the Feroza. Been loooking for something bigger and its all crap. So for those of you out there who might find the odd problem with your roza be happy they are great. Now ...

The acc wire connected to the unit is loosing power at time of starting. Find a different acc wire in the loom. The one you have selected at the moment is part of a system which is shut down when cranking. I had a customer with the same problem. We chased the wiring to the unit and battery. It ...

Hey guys, I have all the F300 manuals.
I also have the original factory repair manual.

I would go with 30's but I have a brand new set of 31's on new rims from my other 4x4. It did make a difference to gearing however most of my off road work is mud so not much lost there. Got the head of yesterday. Shit job at home. I was actually surprised how well the kia is put together. Thanks ...

Thanks for that. The sites are great. If I get the 3 inch suspension lift could I go with the lower of the body lifts? I wish a 4 inch suspension kit was available. Either way it has to be done. Its going to be funny. Thanks for the info. I am ripping the head off tommorow. I hope the thing is on ...

Hey guys,

just picked up a Kia Sportage 2001 really clean with a blown head gasket.

Needed something cheep and a bit bigger than my Feroza.
I want to lift it up tp get my 31x10.5 under it.
Any suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Hey Chris There are many kits you can buy with detailed instructions on how to do the job, however it is cheaper to build your own kit. You can start with an isloator. Check this link. http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=MB3670&CATID=24&form=CAT&SUBCATID=619 All you need is the appropriate ...

Congratulations on a great build. It looks great.

Try and pull the column apart and spray some contact cleaner on the connecting plates for the stalk. A lot of dust and grime gets in there. Also I don't know what type of arrangement you have for your spot lights but you should check the signal wire connection for the spotlights. That’s going to be t ...

This is great. If a 4ag fits easilly, you being the brave one to try it. A 4AGZE will also fit. Hope all goes well for ya. Where can you get the bellhousing adaptor for the 4cyl hilux box? Can you tell I am getting a bit exited here. Finally Feroza owners will have a decent and relativlly ...

If you could be bothered more pictures would be great. I have an F300. Will it fit just like the F310?

I have looked at that snorkel on Ebay. It looks good. I think its quite cheep. What was the overall cost shipping etc if you don't mind me asking. Thanks

Its good to see there are other crazy people in the world. Who drive these cars and actually like them.

Good job on the website. And some nice pictures.

Well done guys.

$600 bucks fitted. Thats crap. There is no way that CV's should cost that much. A couple of hours labour and no more than $140 ea for the CV's. That is allready expensive.

I would definitlly hunt around for a better deal.

Thanks guys. Appreciate the info. I still would have had a promblem finding shocks long enough.

cheers

A & F Driveshafts do good deals on changeover units. They have a couple of stores/outlets around Melbourne and will ship units if required. Just look them up.

Just found the site. They are called Climax Drop Shackles
Check the site. It looks good. Now the question is do they make them for the Feroza? If not how hard is it going to make them fit...?

Hey guys, Has anyone used extended shackles on the rear leafs of the Feroza? I am looking for the pin type greasable units. I don't know the specific name but they have a pin that you pull out and the extra travel is huge. About 6". Providing you have really long shocks. A mate has them on his Hilux ...

I have just won a bid for a Beaver hand winch on ebay. Got ot for a $142.50. Comes with 20m or wire robe 8mm thick. Been used once. Should have it in the next couple of days. It's only rated at 800kg but with a snatch block it should do the job well. The RRP is about $400. We should have a recovery ...

Thanks for that MM. I have thought long and hard about this. I know that the electric winches are a great convinience but as you say somethimes we need to go backwards. I don't mind putting in the hard Yaka for a hand winch recovery. I thought a high lift would be a good tool. I just don't think ...

Thanks for that. I have thought about a turfer. However a decent one is about $450. You can get those cheep Chineese brand electric winches for about $600.
To many options.

Yes MM, The box is back on the road. She just had a fresh paint job to fix all the bush damage. New interior. Just did the pitman and Idler arms. Some new tyres. The body lift is next. I am now looking into winches. However am actually contemplating getting a high lift jack and all the accesories to ...

Hello. I have had issues like this in the past. You should get the battery load tested. It sounds like thats where the issue is. Just because the battery is new it does not mean that it is a 100%. You have already done a current draw test so unless you have an interior light staying on somewhere it ...
