Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Jax at St Marys sell internal balancers, Place a bag inside the tyre and away you go. These are the only things I have found that work on my 35"s as they self adjust for chunks of missing rubber or flat spots. Mind you it does take 5km or so to get them sorted when starting out of a morning

Jason at Jays Engineering in Kareena Rd Miranda.

Thanks, it is a start. I will see if I can get a secondhand/new one first on Tuesday. My luck of late with this engine sucks, cracked both heads, have to make a new mount for the power steering then bent/cracked a fuel retun nipple on an injector ...

Anyone in Sydney that does alloy welding?? I was bolting on the water /thermostat crossover pipe onto new heads and it has cracked next to one of the bolts. Now I have to either get it welded or find another one (GM 6.5 V8 diesel).

I noticed this right before I noticed fuel flowing from one of the ...

Can anyone enlighten me as to what caused the white deposits coming from the inlet valves leaving white coloured deposits on the heads and piston tops?

Just wanted to know what people are using for solvent in a parts washer. Not really found of using diesel/kero mix. this is manily because the vapours give me headaces and I have to share the garage with the other half who does not want the smell through all of her stuff.

My timing chain cover on my 6.5lt GM Diesel has decided to rip itself apart thanks to a power steering pump that was bolted to it.

Does anyone know where I can get another or someone in Sydney (perfer Campbelltown/Liverpool area) that would be able to weld the alloy cover back together?

Have changed the wheels/tyres - no change
Have checked/reset wheel bearings - no change
tie rod ends good
no noticable movement in kingpins
steering dampener good
alignment looks ok

The shudder started after a body lift, have rechecked the lift and nothing out of place.

What am I missing???????????

Have a problem where a 4b will start shuddering super bad on and off from around 60kmh when driving. It is not consistent but scares the crap out of you big effort to maintain control. It is not just the wheel but the whole car that shakes violently (like a dogey shopping trolley wheel only much ...

THE WELDS LOOK TERRIBLE !

And hence the reason I work in IT and not a boilermaker :D

They do look awful but the penitration is very good. I could make them look pretty but it was a very quick job with function being the outcome and not apperance. If in the future I get board I might make it ...

Opps, now you can

For the mounts on the inside of the chassis rails take them up to the main bar. this will stiffen the whole thing up a bit more, if you push the top of the hoop it will probably a bit flexy.

Yep, this is what we had in mind ...

just wondering where you got the pipe bender from and how much was it

I got the bender from a guy at work who had no use for it (was his dad's who had passed away). It is only a cheapie one like the toolex brand from Gasweld for $149 to 12 tonne

i opted for LED lights, are yours LED?

Not at the moment but thinking about it. We will do a rear bar in the future (gotta do mine for my FJ62 first) and thinking of going for the round LEDs there

Have almost finished building a front bar for my son's Holden Drover and thought I would add to my clubs web site as a DIY.

I your interested you follow it here

This is where I'm up to...


After working out what shape we wanted, we ...

having scrubing issues in back end and was wondering how effecient wheel spacers would be and what size to run. running 31x10 and a halfs on f100 15x7 9mm offset and a 2 inch shackle lift. any advice would be great.

I got a set of 15x7 Desert Rat (like sunrayisa) rims to suit a CJ7 Jeep with an ...

i think you can get away with 2" not being engineered.ive never known of anyone being hassled anyway around here

Not 100% sure but my 60 series is and the drover will be too just to keep the insurance dudes happy if nothing else.

The front bar is almost done now, just got to make the mounts for ...

Started doing a body lift on my son's Holden Drover and turned it into a little how to on my club"s web site. You can find it here

I search and could not find it but I know it has been here before, can someone please tell me the centre bore of a patrol rim. I thought it was 112mm but not sure

Just uploaded my Tuff Truck pics, http://www.macarthur4wd.net click on gallery and then 2008 pics.

I have a shudder and noise (not unlike cardboard flicking in a push bike rim) when I corner hard right. At first I thought it might be side luggs hitting the leaf spring (it is on a 60 series) but no marks on the springs or tyres. Then I noticed tonight that the noise and vibration seemed to travel ...

So no one knows???

Anyone know how much it costs to do a 60 Series SOA knuckle rotation?
Going the SOA but not confident enough to hack into the front housing with a grinder or trust my welding for such a crtical componet.

Just got a new winch off ebay (12000lb) and have a couple of questions.

What should be done to the cable to help protect it (lanolen? grease?)

What type of battery (cranking, deep cycle, AGM)?

Is battery location important (already have dual starting batteries either side of the radiator)?

Any ...

A mate of mine has just started his own business selling all the good gear for Isuzu 4bs (yes even MU's). It all came about because the local guys said they were not interested due to the low quanties, local fabricators wanting an arm, leg and a lung on a good day and the Calmini stuff not being up ...

Suzuki early jeep and early F100 all run 5 5 1/2 stud patterns. C7 jeep run a deeper dish that the F100. If you are going to run larger tyres on a zoot, then look at the CJ jeep with a negative 28 dish so they dont scrub on the chassis.

Ok so Superior is the go then. Next question is who wants to sell me a pair for a 60 Series? Best price wins (else I'll just order from Superior).

PM or email me.
