Outer Limits 4x4 Board

grimbo, its called the great bash it up arb bandwagon. its really easy to join. just tell a one sided story,leaving out vital details,so other internet warriors can also tell of a similar one sided tale that happened to a mate of a brother's mate.then,based on that tell everybody that every product ...

nah,i don't recall the part numbers,it was about 6 months ago i got the parts.
and i think it was the plastic 90deg turn that connects to the airbox.

airtec make the genuine nissan snorkels and they share the same plumbing i have ordered the inner ducts from nissan for some customers cars.

I Rhino rack - drill holes in your car - no thanks. Next time id look at other brands who dont require you to damage the vehicle. thehanko, you're a deadset tool. name one other brand/type/style of roof rack for a non-gutter hilux that have a load rating of more than 100kgs? track mounts are the st...

Reply to that one arb383 :lol: Oh but hang on, if somebody fitted them them selves it was "their fitting" that broken them :roll: Its still got me buggered how "fitting them yourself" breaks them :? Even if *** fitted them he still would have driven it the same, towed the same, ...

first off i would like to say that i do not own a 4x4 store and i am not employed by arb. i do however have more than a decade of experience fitting 4x4 accessories. and i have seen a lot of things in that time and learnt a lot. in that time i have seen a lot of product failures,some warranty some n...

daniels, i am not refering to you in my post,i am talking about customers in general. i know nothing about your ability or situation so my post was not aimed directly at you. you are correct in saying arb are not in the same boat as the rest of the 4x4 industry. fact is they are number one,and peopl...

there are not to many manufacturers in the world,let alone australia that would give an unconditional warranty on a product that they do not fit and is abused. why would the 4x4 industry be any different? just my opinion. you guys are totally missing the the point. read my post again. i am not refe...

there are not to many manufacturers in the world,let alone australia that would give an unconditional warranty on a product that they do not fit and is abused.
why would the 4x4 industry be any different?

just my opinion.

your all talking about tjm right?

if i read your post correctly the motor now has 480000km on it and you want to increase the fuel?
do you want to blow it up?

...

ruff-ome shocks have never been rebadged unlike many others. there is only one shock absorber manufacturer in australia and that is monroe.and they are a bloody big company. they not only build shock absorbers for themselves,but also for holden,ford and old man emu. ome have their own suspension eng...

not all arb airlockers send oil back up the air line. if they are not set up with enough preload on the carrier bearings they will do it.if the seal housing is not set up correctly they will do it. it all comes down to the installer and their ability to set up the locker correctly.but as i said earl...

hi matt, the problem with oil coming up the air line to the solenoids is mostly caused by poor diff breathing. because the air connection inside the diff at the seal housing is under the level of the oil,a diff that doesn't breathe enough through the factory breather will pressurize the diff enough ...

it certainly sounds like you were dealing with a bunch of morons. can you pm me with the names of the stores you had trouble with? i am very surprised that nobody mentioned the saddle correction kits.they must be fitted when new springs are fitted,even if the saddle is straight, because the combinat...

what year model is your hilux?
is it ifs or live axle?

was the saddle correction kit fitted when you first fitted the front springs? if not,this will cause sagging. there are lots of contradictions and things that just don't make sense in your stories. 1.you say the ome suspension lowered the front lhs by 10mm,these springs give a 50mm lift above standa...

the locker from your 60 will fit an 80 but you should only swap the air locker hemisphere only,not the entire centre.
that way you will be using the newer gearset and bearings from the 80 instead of the old stuff from the 60.

what vehicle was your ome suspension in trains? i have personally fitted ome suspension to many ifs hilux's,as well as almost every other model and would rate it the best value for money suspension available. Ome have vehicle specific shock and spring combinations to suit whatever the customer requi...

early live axle lc100 arb bars had a winch cradle that mounts to the chassis and holds the winch,with the feet facing down,and just the roller fairlead mounted to the bar.
the bullbar mounts to this cradle.
are there 2 or 4 holes in the front of the bar?

i agree they are bloody expensive,but the price is high because there is no other manufacturer of quality locking diffs.thats why 80% of lockers built go overseas.

...

you can sometimes buy them cheaper from other stores,because arb sells to tjm and other 4x4 shops for dealer price,which is lower than retail. what tjm or a 4x4 shop sells them for is up to them. if they want to cut their margins down and only make $50 a diff then good luck to them. if you have your...

front diff centres are the same in 75's and 79's.
they take the same airlocker

arb make and sell the lockers so they would be the cheapest.
just ask for a discount.

front diffs are the same,but possibly a different ratio.
rear diffs are not the same.
79's are 5 stud wheels.
turbo will be a problem as 79's have egr connecting back up to the intake pipe.
bar work will change over.
battery trays are slightly different,but can be modified.

no chance doing it yourself.
i use a 20 ton press to get out the old bushes and they go off with a bang.
a vice won't press them in either.

i don't consider the factory cv as weak.
driver abuse will break any part.
i don't know if the non genuine is stronger or not.
