How do you transmit drive with round tube spinning inside round tube?

Damage one bad enough so that it won't close and its a big problem.

Normal door will be pushed shut when brushing a tree (moving forwards), whereas this would either jam against tree or rip off.

Who stocks them at that price?

Also, the 35s are all radials, so no choice of sticky or road compounds, also not as agressive.

Am I missing something?

WHy can't you just plug your fridge into the 240 when you put the car in the garage each night. It's just as easy as connecting a battery charger up each night. :?

The fridge is in a steel cage on the back of the ute, which makes accessing the plug a pain. The charger ...

Coming into summer and with my short commute to work, my second battery/s is going to be coping a hiding from the fridge that lives on the back of the ute (waeco CF50).

Currently I have a factory starting battery (which I think is on the way out) and a pair of big cat batteries in parallel under ...

I think arb can order most parts in for these

google Purple Pig

These guys know there hose and are a nation wide company.

Have good catalogues online, with plenty of fuel safe hose listed.

You will struggle to find an off the shelf alloy beadlock like a Walker Evans, etc in a 16" wheel.

Another vote for rockcrawlers here.

I now have a 6hp motor on mine, just had to buy the splined gear.

However, you need to measure the position of the gear, and pin the motor shaft to prevent the gear from falling off, as there is no retaining device from the factory.

That depends if you are running an air free spool that is just an actuator on the 8274 lever, leaving the gearbox still running with the drum, or go for a drum disconnect.

I run the older style and find it great, both on my old zuk and now on my gu.

Increased linespeed will decrease the pull on the rope - you'll be less likely to snap the rope with the same given motor when running higher linespeed gears.

Yep, but the fact is that you have two 12 volt 6HP motors being fed 24 volts. That sort of power from the motors can make sort work of a ...

Any pics of this setup in either a GQ or GU?

You may run into trouble with the newer GUs, as they have a different crossmember at the front of the chassis. My 04 Ute has the bigger crossmember.

Quick question for you all.

What amount of force are the actuators used in these applications?

Looking to keep it compact, so a short stroke actuator that will apply 90kg dynamic force. Do you think this will be sufficient?

Big O 4x4 posted these on the Patrol forum this morning

Why do you need to tig?

You should be able to do it with your mig.

44 Cars, thats a ripper turnout

The setups that are used by most at comps are bluetooth, not uhf.

It all depends on how you have the relay wired.

When I had my zuk, I had the relays earth through the factory loom high beam. This will work for your situation, but to get the led to work, you will need to run power to the positive on the switch and back to the switch pin on the relay.

The relay ...

Welding cable is good for this application.

And really well insulated.

Can you add ducting to divert air into the area like they do for the Australian Safari?

I believe the problem is that only the master is able to input and change info.

I sought advice off hobzee in 2007 when we trialed a dual FX324 setup in a navrun.

What we found to work was to swap the sd cards before inputting the points.

You get an error due to the conflict in serial numbers ...

Hobzee should be able to help you on this, however it is not the best setup.

Better off to run them independantly.

Mal Leslie still doin this stuff?

Sure is, just got to hope he isn't too busy with the upcoming events.


I think there worth it, but i also think there temperamental


Can't say that I've seen too many issues with the top housings. It is usually the power achieved that causes problems ...

Especially with only two of them working consistantly!

I ran a halogen low, hid high in my sierra in narva inserts, hid was great, but it was a real pain when you dipped back to low, as these proved to be worse than a standard sealed beam.

I'd lean towards a H4 conversion before HID if I had my time again. +80% globes and upgraded loom.

Just remember that there is a high pressure area at the base of the windscreen sue to the ari changing direction.

Never seen a bonnet spaced solve heat problems at speed, certainly helps at low speed.

I think rear facing scoops may have some legal concerns due to the possability of oil on the ...

Have teh same issues with my GU ute, rear tailshaft has a nice line around it from wear.

Thought about a spacer on the rear output of the transfer, which would cause it to clear by a fraction more, but seems uncommon for Patrol owners to do this.

Otherwise it will be heat and a sledge.

I run ...

Three groups of 12 cars on Sunday shouldn't have caused too many problems to get them through in the time constraints.

I can understand that getting spectators to leave at 2:30 if there was still competitors running would have been near impossible. I know of a few people that were spectating that ...
