Outer Limits 4x4 Board

It could be your bonnet hinges. As weird as it sounds mine started as a creak and a groan and ended in an annoying clucketty cluck. Turns out the pivot point of my bonnet hinges was flogged out and they were flapping against the firewall and the sound was traveling into the cab.

I'm keen to read about this also if anyone has some info. I looked into this as a cheaper alternative to bending over for the price of a 4.2 Gu. I'm not 100% but I think the td42 you slot in has to be out of a car of the same series and/or emissions blanket. As in you can't put an early Gq td42 into ...

Is it a new model with DPF or earlier without DPF? If it has a dpf youl need a dump with threaded ports to take the sensors, if the sensors aren't in there it will automatically sense a pressure increase and put s fault in the computer.

You won't max your front shocks out with superflex arms. Not with the variation between spring and shock you have. Even with the superflex arms there's still heaps of bind in the front end of a patrol. I know guys with 5" springs and 6" shocks that can't max out with super flex arms. They should ...

stock compression should be around the 427psi with a +/- 80psi differential between cylinders.
i have a rebuilt short motor at home that im selling and i only recently comp tested it because it wouldnt run, reason being was a faulty injector pump.

i didnt and i wouldnt bother either. if its a na blacktop motor the pistons are you biggest limiting factor. the rest will be sweet as nah its an N/A silver top, sweet. ive never heard of anyone needing to do it. just thought it might be worth it whilst the sump was off. but ill just strap her on ...

Hey guys, I'm about to strap a Huffer to my 300k old td42. Is it worth rolling in some new big ends while the sump is off? Anyone done this? I assume I can just undo the big end caps and roll some new slippers into the big ends?
Any help would be sweet. Cheers folks

Oh well things change, and so must rules. At the end of the day what's a length or two of new pipe and some new dies when you've just gone and spent 2-3k on tyres or a v8 conversion. Most trucks in TT, the cage is the cheapest bit of gear on the truck ( stupid considering it saves you and your rig ...

Why not a D60 35spline GQ/GU HIpinion? Buds customs is building me a custom housing with GQ centre, 35 spline axles (inner and outer) running Longfield uni's, Ried racing knuckles, artec double shear hi-steer and a 10" ram Strength, good steering = piece of mind I have NEVER seen, and no one I have ...

pondering the thought of dana 60s under a gq, everyone knows the aftermarket cv options for patrols are shizzle. some built dana 60s might be perfect. whats ur thoughts nissan nuts???

well funny that i gave u that link because i just broke my locker. smashed the engagement fork and sliding lock ring. devo lol. they are a piece of pi$$ to pull out mate. same as a normal diff centre.

Got a td42. It runs, but it runs like a bag of bum. Comp tested all cylinders within spec, checked timing marks in timing case and the "Z" lines up with the "ZZ". Checked if injectors are getting fuel, adjusted valves, ran new fuel to see if it was poo in the tank. Asside from putting a new pump and ...

hey mate here's a link to another thread on here with an exploded diagram of the factory rear locker and final drive assembly. i think if the locker is switching on and the diaphragm is moving then its most likely gonna be the dog teeth on the locking ring, these wear due to engagement whilst moving ...

Some Series 2 Gq's came with them too and also Gq TI patrols with auto locking hubs, I've got some on mine and they are awesome. Maybe go to your local fourbie wrecker.

I say bring back the smaller trucks, it's tuff truck not tuff monster truck or tuff bank balance. I love watching the little battler giving it everything at tuff truck, like that near full bodied red Gq last year, what a champion. And some Of the duel cab lux's that show up every year are still ...

Bio diesel destroys seals and other components on older engines. You can however have all the seals and o-rings swapped for compatible items, but hardly worth it. Easier to just not look at the price, fill it up and pay on card and throw the receipt in the bin. Lol. Are u looking at money saving ...

200 with a windscreen supplied by a local 2nd hand glass mob. I reckon that's pretty good. But I've got a few Gq windows Layin around now so next time it will be cheaper lol

Mitch, superior have the armada extremes, they pretty good shocks on a budget. Id say do what you can at your own budget and try your luck. Big money trucks are boring, anyone can blow 30-40k on a truck and do reasonably well. I love seeing a truck that could just as easily drive down to Coles to ...

What are they?

Drive shaft uni's should never be straight. They should always work on a slight angle. As for your noisy taily. It wil be your slip joint from swapping it end for end, the spline in your slip joint has used one face of each tooth to turn For so long and now you have swapped it round it's using the ...

Pump and or cam 180 degrees out. Timing marks will line up if this is the case so easy mistake. Pull the pump out and turn it 180, then if that doesn't work check the cam. When u put the engine back together you should have no# 1 on tdc, and the cam should be rolling along the back side with rockers ...

Well seeing as this is my thread I'll comment.lol. I've done two outings to the beach since fitting the lokka, and two bush runs and all I can say is win win win win. I'm only sorry that I didn't get one earlier rather then wasting my life trying to save for an AIR LEAKER ! I can't speak for lighter ...

Ive sent you a pm of someone who could help if its not repairable.
good luck with it.

Hey mate, thanks for the info. I'm def gonna try repair first but failing that a new donor body n chassis
May be on the cards. I'll post up pics of
My DIY attempts lol

Came down pretty hard with my chassis onto a rock ledge last weekend. Just behind the front door passenger side. Dented the bottom of the chassis and bulged the sides near the dent. Front door doesnt open real well anymore and rear door is a little sticky. Anyone know if this can be repaired and ...

Just fitted my new lockrite in the front of my Gq, essentially this weekend at red head beach will be it's first real test asside from a lap around the gravel put outside work. Anyone had any dramas with them on sand? Anything I should be warey of? Red head beach is quite soft and the entrance to it ...

Just thought I'd throw in a tip, you can make some good simple bush press tools by finding some ally pipe the same diameter as the bush with a decent wall thickness so it sits on top nicely. Cut it to the same length as said bush and then using a 1mm cutting disc, cut a diagonal into it. This means ...

Lifting driveline? as in lifting the gearbox higher and engine etc? That would put the COG out and mess up the whole geometry of the truck I'm thinkinZ

Big road trucks use a leaf spring at the back of the gear box to
Hold it up. Could work for u if u make slots for each of the spring to sit
In. Give it a bit of flex if u were to hit it.

Keep seeing china! Air lockers setups on eBay. Roughly 800 bucks for the whole kit ( front) anyone used these? The price is super tempting but the only good thing to come out of china is rice.
Anyone used these things? What y'all reckon? Should I give em a go?

How hard is it to remove a diesel gas injection setup? If I were to be looking
For more space and didn't want the gas tank in the back anymore can I just unplug
It or is there tuning and removal procedures?
