Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I would go 24 spline from the start, especially as you will be running 35's and lockers, everything is much stronger than 10 spline. Best to do it right from the start

cheers

IMHO if they are rolling off 8" or 9" rims without beadlocks, they will roll off 10" rims without beadlocks more often.

hows that work, the wider rim should make them seat better at low pressures......shouldnt they :roll:

why would the tyre manufacturer advise to use a 10 inch rim for a 37 when ...

to stop a 37 inch tyre rolling off the rim, most manufacturers recommend at least a 10 inch rim.

any ideas beside beadlocks

Hi

does anyone know where I can get some 15x10 rims??? might have to get them made but if I could find a source for 'off the shelf' items that'd be great

cheers

thanks guys, should also mention it is dual locked and fitted with HD axles and CV's so it should take a bit of a punishing

whose selling the 17x9 rover rims...havent heard of them on the market yet, I was tossing up whether to get EWW to make some up if I went that way

I will check out the treps ...

Hi guys

after some advice about running 37's on a V8 D1.

My current set up is 35 KM2's, 2 inch coil lift, 2 inch body lift, cut and flared guards, pegged 4.11's etc etc but the 35's just arnt cuttin it anymore and I wanna go bigger....the relentless pursuit of perfection :finger:

anyway, the ...

nice job

what did you do with the roof, have you any pics of that. I want to do a ute chop on my D1 as well in the future but the roof bothers me.....

thanks

I am running 35x12.5x15 on 15 x 8 sunnies with a -25mm offset, and theres no problems.

your 10.5's will be fine even at low pressures.

drive sensibly and you wont have any issues mate

ta

nice ride

is that a custom cab or did you use a 'kit'

do you have any progress pics during the build

and what size are the front ones....the same ???

gearboxes are good, strong and will take alot of punishment and can be picke dup cheaply. they have a drinking problem, but will rev hard all day but like mine, if its a weekend truck, then I dont mind putting $40 in it for a good day out :D

dont worry about any oil leaks from anywhere, start ...

I think we all need to be really worried where this is heading. this current generation of large 4wd's are nothing more than SUV's on steriods

what will we be modifying in 20 years time when the trusty 'old' 100 series and GU's will be past their 'used by date'

I had 35 inch claws on my GQ with a 4 inch coil lift. They were on a cruiser offset rim and only just rubbed on the inner drivers side guard on full flex....pretty happy with that

they are a great tyre in the mud too

give shane a call at www.suspensionstuff.com.au

he has 3 or 4 inch coils for the rovers off the shelf, but that sort of lift will mean you need more than just the coils :roll:

dig deep for that size lift :D

With 3 inch lifts we have never seen any adverse affects with just fitting springs and ...

will a LRA flare cover that??

how much for a air bag compatible bar??

looking at buying a 97 disco on gas, 180 k km on it, v8 auto, looks pretty good, will have a look at it tomorrow, he wants 7900... might try get it for 7000,.


2nd hand Airbag Bars go for around $800 from a wrecker, try http://www.triumphroverspares.com ...

I assume you will be towing a trailer for the firewood, you will only fit kindling in the back of a D1 :lol:

but seriously, dont disconnect the airbags, spend the dosh and get a proper air bag compatible bar, it might save your life! insurance will wipe ya and try to get a second hand one and save ...

Yeah, they will probably rub on full lock with what ever rim you use. that can be fixed with adjusting the stoppers on the front, I think they were on the swivel hubs. I had to adjust mine, just enlarges the turning circle a tad but nothing to worry about.

I have seen a D1 with just a 2 inch lift ...

no I dnt think so. if you go a 2 inch coil lift and use the LRA flare, it should be fine. The LRA flare raises the guard height by 2 inches I beleive so it looks like you will have a 4 inch lift if that makes sense

this rangie was for sale a while ago and had a VN commodore dash fitted. looks pretty neat.

That looks pretty good I reckon!

I reckon it is the ducks guts. The only probem I can see is you have to loose the window winders, but elec windows will fix ...

That soft dash shown may be running Patrol transmission/transfer looking a the shifter locations.

See what happens when you fit cheap common parts, the vehicle slowly turns generic :D

I guess that guy wasnt a purist :D but if you were to build a tuff vehicle, then a RR body with a good mix of ...

this is my 77 two door rangie. bought it a few weeks ago and it has had some mods to suspension, 31 inch muddies, snorkel, dual batteries, body lift, f&r diff protectors, nudge bar, steering protector, uhf, nav, on board air and soon to be fitted rear ARB air locker and swing away wheel carrier ...

I bought an ARB air compressor today to run the diff lock I got second hand.

it came with a wiring loom but no wiring diagram.

Does anyone know what colour wire goes where on the switch to control the compressor and also the solenoid switch. There are 5 terminals but I have no idea which wire ...

if you want tyres bigger than 33 inch, then you will probably need different diff ratios and wheel arch flares and you are right, they are as dear as poison.

Like Lucy said, take it out and see where its limitations are for where you want to go and then devise a plan.

Maybe some 31 inch muddies ...

I have had mine for quite a while and no problems.....
