Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Got to say, a cage has always been one of my plans. I've seen the result of a softtop Jeep rolling without a cage and with a cage. I know which one I'd rather be in.

I'm probably going to be shot down by all the Aussie business owners for asking this.

Sorry state of affairs when it's cheaper to buy Aussie made overseas and ship it back...ain't your fault, so don't worry about it, you're not a charity.

No different to my time in pubs/clubs. Cheaper for us to ...

Dunno about automotive, but in the limited experience I've had with construction, if you compare apples to apples (ie the Selleys product designed for 'X' and the Sika product for 'X' the Sikaflex wins hands down and then some.

Anything serious/important I'll use Sikaflex stuff, for day to day ...

Running ARB in the rear and a Lockright in the front of my Wrangler, love it. Sure if I had the coin I'd have put ARBs front and rear, but the Lockright has never let me down. Definitely recommend it.

More than happy with my Stauns. Hadn't used them in at least a year, put them on over the weekend and after a few moments all 4 tyres were on 18.

Set them once properly (if you want a different pressure from stock) or at least make sure the lock ring is nice and tight and they'll keep their setting.

I'd find anyone but them to get the kit off. Worst company I've ever dealt with.

Clearly fairly good given the hate from competitors!

Bump.

Still happy? Got to admit, I've been thinking about taking the plunge, but everyone I know (who doesn't own one) has warned me off them with horror stories.

Chimp, what year, etc did you get? Can I ask what it set you back?

One thing that everyone keeps bringing up is that if it's ever ...

Yep planning to pick one of those up, freaking bargain!

I know original ARB compressors that ust won't die, their owners wish they would so they can replace them with somethign that actually moves some air.


That'd be me. They are without a doubt the most useless farking things ever made. I don't think it's physically possible to blow any less air ...

Bugger, had planned to get some work done there, got to be the most honest mechanic I've ever come across!

Haven't watched it, but I assume it's completely and utterly non-biased.

This may be of interest/help?

On Tuesday 10th February, Michael Coldham and Milton Oliver met with the Chief of Staff (Cressida Wall) for the Minister for Roads Tim Pallis and Ross McArthur and Barry Hendry from VicRoads to discuss the Vehicle Standards Bulletin (VSB) 14 and the implications on ...

I ran Procomp MTs for a while, and loved them. Brilliant on road for a muddie, decent off road for a mud tyre. Currently run the MT radial claws, seem a bit more slanted to offroad, but fine on road.

Suppose it depends on what you want? For a stock standard MT I reckon the Procomps are good ...

If it were my choice between a Scout and anything else that cost up to $5K I'd prob go a GQ pootrol.
Jas.

Poo being the operative word! I'd love a Scout, always been a HUGE fan of the old Scouts and early Broncos, absolute classics.

If I ever have the spare cash (more so the patient wife) I'll ...

Berwick Jeep is supposed to be okay, and might be a tad closer to home than TW?

Thanks fellas, apparently the main seal is gone on the compressor, they're talking $1000+ to pull it, send it away to be fixed and then reinstalled/gased.

Think they used a Nippondenso Compressor but I'll crawl under it tonight if I get a chance and check.

So the air-con in the heep is shot, the compressor's done and dusted. Sadly it ain't a cheap fix so I'm trying to source the parts myself. Does anyone know of an air-con mob in Victoria that do core swaps? Ie they give me a nice reconditioned compressor and in return I give them my old one?

It's ...

For $1600 it'd what to be a lot more than just farkin' nice!

Fark people have some serious coin to blow.

And blow I almost did.

Re tyre size, I had always planned to run 35s on the heep one day, and I'm in the market for new tyres in the short term, but to be honest now I'm locked both ends I've found 33s get me pretty much everywhere guys on 35s go, without problems. The only thing holding me back from harder stuff is the ...

I think you guys are being far too harsh. Just because there's a well proven, reliable method of winching doesn't mean people shouldn't try and think of alternatives.

Look at me, I've taken the high prices of fuel into account and I'm going to start riding a bike. But I reckon it can be improved on ...

ATV maybe, but even then an electric winch wins hands down.

But on a 4x4? If you ask me it's the stupidest idea ever!

Yeah, that seems to be our only option.

Hi folks,

The office is chipping in to get the boss a BBQ for our office ;) but we want to paint it in his corporate colours, so we need to find someone who can do high temp paint in custom colours, and obiously in a spray can if possible.

I've already tried Supercheap and a paint store, both only ...

This.

Yep, they're old tech but they're renowned for being unbreakable if looked after.

I thought nothing every goes wrong with Warns?

so I say :finger: a modified and illegal truck when you can have a sweet buggy on the street without a single compromise! :armsup: :armsup:

I had no idea you could do shit like this :armsup: seriously, well done.

Is there some rule that says you can only build one and not a small run to sell ...
