Outer Limits 4x4 Board

what weight you looking to carry? I know of one that will carry 2.2 tonne that could be up for grabs

Ive just got a bosh inline pump, plumbed into original FJ45 fuel tank. Supplys my 62lb injectors x 4 at 45psi all day everyday. Never had an issue, been like this for over a yr. I just silver soldered a 6AN fitting onto original pick up pipe, mounted pump level with bottom of tank and plumbed up ...

I put a 305 Chev in my 45. I had the Dellow bell housing and clutch already, pair of Marks Adaptors engine mounts at 250 bucks, wiring was easy. If you had to buy a V8, bell housing, clutch set up, engine mounts and did it all yourself you could get out of it for under 5k. All depending on what sort ...

Standard 40 Radiator with 16" thermo and custom shroud... Never gets over 90 deg.

Thanks guys..

Thanks Mick.. I must have a fault somewhere then I would think..

Thats what I thought, but what is the first notch for? If it was a 2 speed switch I would have thought it would of had just the 2 positions?

Any of you guys know if the 82 model wipers have intermittent? I pull my switch to the first notch and get nothing, second notch slow, last notch fast.. I"m presuming the first notch is supposed to be intermittent but haven't had a chance to pull it out and check the wiring yet..

Sweet as mate very nice work. Forgive me if i missed it, but what did you do with your p/s lines and all your heater plumbing (and a/c lines if you have it). Also how much work was involved in moving the gearbox forward 80mm? Daniel I unbolted the gearbox crossmember and lined up the rear holes ...

Search function works well on here newbie....

Ive done the chev conversion....

This is how I did it..

It will only draw as much current as the radio wants. IE just like a normal car, so you will not end up with a flat battery.

The only way to set it down is with a transformer. I had to build a little unit to charge my psp, phone etc off a 24V AC supply a few yrs ago. I put the supply into a bridge rectifier to make AC to DC then used a transformer to step it down from 24 to 12V. The transformer cost me about $120. But now ...

G'day guys. Just a quick one. Is there anything that stops you from putting a later model body on an older model chassis? Just sorting through a few ideas for my next project. Cheers Usually this is not a problem cause the later model body complys to more adrs etc .. you'll find if you say put a gu ...

Two bottles of octane boost into it and run it in your car. No drama. How old is it? It doesnt' generally go off unless it is 2 stroke. Ive had fuel sitting in my boat for a couple of yrs unused, (4 stroke) just added a bottle of octane boost and it ran fine. Sell it cheap to your neighbors for ...

Thank you Kustom that was a very imformative post ,i will read it a few more times and try to work it out lol,but first i probably should chase up some parts i tightened up all the ball joints and such . The sreering is better nut but still lots of slack dont know if it may be the steering damper ...

Finally got of my arse and went to the wreckers and scrounged around for some 60 series stuff to do a power steer conversion on my 40. Picked up a steering box, Fj55 steering column (even though its 2inch longer than a 40, it has a spline at the fire wall for uni joint). These are the main parts ...

UNTAMED, click on the 4wda link in the above post. Its shows how I mounted all the box and put the 55 column in. I found it easy enough...

60 series gear and do it yourself about 500 bucks.... For someone to do it, labour ???

60 series box, 55 series column and a saginaw pump on your V8 with custom lines made up will work a treat. Thats what I had on my old shorty. I have factory p/s on my current 45 but running the saginaw pump on the 305 chev. Here is the pump mounted onto my V8 just before the transplant http://i208 ...

I have a standard air con system I'm thinking of selling as half of it has to change with the V8 in there.. I'll keep yup posted. What motor are you running ?

I have block hugger extractors on my chev with standard power steer and there is plenty of room. Have you looked at getting a set for your V8?

No, I put my bulbs directly onto my battery to test which way and it didn't bugger them..

You should be ok.

Your + - is the opposite to what you think it should be. I had the same trouble with my second hand ones.

Ive just dropped my SBC into my FJ45 in the last few days. I have my old radiator hoses from when it was in my shortie so I just used them. The top hose is just the bendy one that you can sort of .... ah stuff it here is a pic... http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb240/KUSTOMV840/FJV8/Engine ...

We had the cold knock on our Prado. Took it toyota, they reset the computer and it was fine after that.

Well i wanted to buy a 60 series for the 5 speed to put in my truck Bob then wreck the rest out. While at the local auto shop i mentioned this and that conversation has led me to buying 2 x 5 speed 60s, a 350 chev powered 45 and this very tidy for it age 1966 55 series landcruiser. pics 0f the 45 ...

pics 0f the 45?

This is a universal system that would suit a 45/47. I was going to look into it until I bought a 45 with factory air.
