Outer Limits 4x4 Board

TIG is great. As already said it's a very concentrated strong weld.

Aluminium is tricky 1st up.

Grab some steel and give it a go with the remote.

Don't get a TIG flash, been there done that one...

I want one bad!

New rear main oil seal, new clutch, new G/B oil, and labour of course. $700

You shouldn't really be sitting there idle with the A/C on for 30mins.

Wouldn't a 350 be overkill on a 1.3ltr.....

You may need a special u-bolt with a flat top with a concave on the edge of it, to clear the drag link. Cost bugger all too.

I ended up buying an ARB compressor.

So where does the ARB one originate from??? China Perhaps??? While I appreciate that the ARB comrpessor is of better quality, its it really 10X better, or whateva the cost difference is. Im not buying it to pump tyres up, and If i used it to pump one up it would only be an amergency and thus time ...

A 2inch lift is all you need, BUT steer clear of OME rubbish.

That's very poor form. Very lucky mate.

You only need to change the oil and drive around the block, then the oil is black again. There is no escaping it mate, diesel engines run filthy black.

Interesting one mate. How high did you lift it ?

Would probably require a diesel service too mate.

Too easy Kingy

Mate the first step before going to an electrician is easy, check the bulbs first up, and the earth. You have had the lights under mud and shit etc so I'm betting it's a bulb or earth....

I'm using the above mentioned Lukey sports turbo muffler. Not a bad note yeah...

G'day fellas

Any of you got the Dr Air 150 ltr/min compressor? it retails for about $300. If so what's it like for pumping up 4x4 tyres ?

I couldn't find any info on this brand in the compressor thread.

Nah it won't hurt. I think they call them ''Turbo'' just to grab your attention. It's just a 'fast' muffler lol..

That's a shocker of an outcome. Poor bugger took precautions and thought all was safe, yet still near curled up.

I agree, compulsory reading material fellas.

I assume I still need to use the original hilux seat runners etc??

Thanks fellas. I'm after something a little more comfy, so I'll take a squiz at what's been mentioned.

Thanks mate.

G'day Fellas

Anyone got any experience in regards to having OME springs fitted to an LN106R, and do you require that an adjustable torque rod be fitted? it's suppose to be a 45mm lift on the front, and 50mm on the rear, hence 2'' lift.

The reason I ask is I got conflicting advice when I enquired.

Is there an easy replacement seat available for my LN106 single cab? There is not much room in the cab, however it must have been done over the years, whether it was a new or second hand seat.

Any info appreciated fellas

Anyone been there and if so what's it like? rough or easy etc....

Hanko, I had the same problem not long ago, and had the top tank renewed. Nothing wrong with the original core, and the bottom tank runs cooler so they are generally fine as is.

Thanks fellas.

I was worried if I ran out of juice I would have to bleed the system.

My fuel gauge has a little dull red square on the empty side, looks like if there was a fuel light that's where it would come on at. But it never has. I've never gone below the empty line though....

G'day fellas

Is there a fuel light on the '96 hilux diesel fuel gauge? if so how many klms do you get when the light comes on??

Break it off .

Nah as said use a spanner on the flat. Clean the thread too if need be and apply some lube...
