Outer Limits 4x4 Board

You're keen fitting that size tyre with SPOA and body lift. It'd near tip over going around a roundabout

Drop shackles combined with a complete spring inversion is the best way to go. It gives you fully SIC flex

zookprojectfnq - Is your tank going back in the standard position at all? I'd like to see a 3/4 setup on a zook with the tank in the original position. Is it even possible?

Just get the tallest, skinniest spare you can find. Even if it's an inch or two short it'll be ok for emergencys. I've got a bar tread that weighs half as much as a 31 but measures 29 inches tall.

I'm running 31's with 4.16's and standard 3.7 diff centres. The low range is good but it hasn't really helped with 5th gear all that much.

you might be able to use some angle coming down vertically and out horizontally with some garden edging on top. i'll show you what i mean tomorrow. have you got that transfer yet?

Have you replaced your brake lines with extended lines?

snake racing do a rebuild kit, $320. its on their site

www.snakeracing.com.au

they have a SOA kit and U bolt flip kits which would be handy to do while the SOA is getting done

i'm not exactly sure what it could be but i remember reading about a common problem with the standard carbys. my original carby did something similar to what you described but i ripped it off a put a weber on it. have you tried a search? carby problems have been covered heaps.

i ended up using a piece of plastic which stepped up from one end being small enough to fit into the trans case then up to a larger diameter to fit inside the hose. i hose clamped the hose end but i just siliconed around the plastic where it goes into the trans case. it shouldn't come out as the ...

with the right mods a weber can be pretty awesome off road. i'm running mine backwards with the vent mod done and my it'll only really splatter a bit going down very steep descents. it does feel as though it revs a bit harder too.

I'm currently fitting breathers to my diffs, gearbox and trans case. What has everyone used to get a hose onto their trans case? There doesn't seem to be enough length to get a hose on whats left after the cap is popped off.

the shocks i wrecked were ranchos. they were way to stiff anyway

is that from the metal brake line brackets? my shocks ended up getting pierced from the brackets so when i replaced the shocks i removed the bracket and pushed the line away from the shock to avoid damage to the new shocks. it might be worthwhile doing this to avoid having to buy new shocks.

i recently fitted some flares (garden edging) with button head self tappers and an aluminium strip screwed between the screws and flare material. this helps decrease the chances of the screws pulling through the flare material

awesome thanks a million.

I swear I read a thread somewhere in the last few days on different engine mounts people have used in their 1.3 litre sierra's but I can't find the thread again. VL Commo engine mounts rings a bell?? Can someone please steer me in the right direction.
PS- I have searched several times all with no ...

have you tried calling repco or similar? i'm sure they could give you some kind of assistance

you can't get to the top of the bolt. you need custom female threaded bolts. re-read what just cruizin wrote

thats a whole new scenario.

i just read that both models had the same tcase gearing.

are LJ80 cv's, axles and diff centres much weaker than sierra gear? in regards to strength, what do you recommend as the max tyre size for an LJ80 driveline? i know gearing is an issue but if the driveline won't handle 31's then i guess there's no point even getting to that stage.

i understand that gearing is crucial. the transfer out of my sierra is being rebuilt with new gears this week. the lj80 is my bosses ride and his main objective for the time being is to get some 31's under it. if he is unhappy with the gearing after the tyres are fitted then i'm sure he'll look at ...

thanks guys, looks like i'm helping my boss fit a bodylift soon. i'd say he'll keep the gearing as standard for now. cheers Dan

My boss wants to fit some 31's to his lj80. Is it as simple as fitting a body lift, trimming/ hammering guards and big offset? Any help is much appreciated

a small story about dodgey Z links
a mate of mine has a lwb with spoa. his dodgey Z link snapped at 60 kph on a long bend about 6 months ago. his car is still being rebuilt as it rolled into a drain on the side of the road. luckily he wasn't injured.

they're from an accord. part number MT8330 from repco. the damage was $150 for the three.

i ordered three honda accord engine mounts this arvo. fingers crossed they don't rip in half

if i can get some honda engine mounts i'll be giving that a go first. it seems like the easiest to do out of all the options. thanks for everyone reply's
