Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I will start by saying that I am not a welder... but we have boily's at work and a number of welders on site. About 50% of our workshop work is welding. Most of our machines are Weldmac 395S. From my point of view (purchasing) these are a good machine, we have almost zero down time from machine ...

Where I work, the engineers in the factory cut big holes into chassis webs to reduce the tare weight. Super light weight skels. Not long after they had to replace all the customers chassis' as they started to snap in half going down the highway.

We use the smaller blades for cutting ally. One guy didn't think and had it kick back into his shoulder. Plenty of blood and lots of stitches. Otherwise they are an awesome piece of gear.

Spoke to Carrolls, they don't have a leaf spring listing for a '99 Challenger. Just list torsion bars and shocks sorry.

I've got a trade account a Carrolls Springs. I think they sell EFS. If you can tell me what you're after I can get you a price.

I've got a 3" kit from Superior in mine. Very happy with it. Where I work I can get parts from Carrolls Springs (EFS) at trade price and the price difference is huge. I will say though when I bought the kit I was working elsewhere and the technical knowledge fom Superior gtting the right spring ...

Pronto Sheet Metal just got a new laser he tells me will do up to 16mm I think and he has a cnc plasma for thicker. We use Mark a fair bit, and at short notice and his work is excellent. 3275 2702, 153 Boniface St, Archerfield.

Let me ask the guys at work tomorrow how they clean it up, all the brushes and rollers we use have a very, very short life... If whatever we use isn't too nasty, I can send some your way.

I have a pair of 4000's. Was very happy with them with halogen bulbs, but changed to hid's. I think the kit I bought was 35 or 50w, can't remember but there are times when they are too bright, coming home from Tuff Truck at the top of Cunningham's Gap, there are 2 enormous signs for trucks to slow ...

I can't help with how to use it, but we use heaps of this at work repairing semi-trailers, we buy our stock from Nuplex Composites, if there is a branch somewhere near you.

I had steel prado rims on mine years ago, don't remember what tyre size, but offset was fine.

I've got a 300mm wide roll of 10mm thick stuff at work. Let me know if you want a metre or so. A 6 pack would get you what you need :D Otherwise you can buy 3mm, 5mm insertion rubber etc from Blackwoods by the metre. The stuff Bunnings have isn't reinforced and is crap. Colours for conveyor material ...

From the mazda site, towing unbraked is 500kg, braked 700kg. That is the current model but I don't think it would vary too much.

I haven't measured the one I've got, but I have a towbar off an early 80 series I don't want, (2500kg limit). It came with a rear bar I bought. I'd be happy to cut it off that and send it down to you but I'm not back at work where I left it till next Tuesday. Work account = free to ship as well

I've used Smart Engineering at Archerfield for work stuff a couple of time to do exactly this, remachine keyways etc. Work has always been spot on.

Sorry, my bad, I went and re-read redarc's site, the warranty still applies when sold through one of their authorised agents, even with ebay.

Can't help with the supplier, but Redarc will not honour any warranty on items bought off of ebay. Well, that's what the redarc guy said on a 4wd show I was watching a few weeks ago.

i was wondering if any body has used or got one of the following as i was thinking of getting one kemppi minarcmig adaptive 180 http://www.aitkenwelding.com/documents/pdf/Kemppi_MinarcMig_150_180.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Fark these are good! My little bro bought one much ...

Any local smash repairer will have the double sided tape used to refit badges to cars. Surely they'd give you a small bit if you ask.

I ran 11psi with a 2 1/2 inch straight through exhaust. After fitting I got the injector pump rebuilt with a fuel anaeroid (sp?) just went with what the shop said. Kept it for several years, probably about 100,000klm after fitting, lots of 4wding, lots of highway never had an issue, always ran great.

Stoive wrote:some plexus glue from a company called fibreglass international in brisbane, its amazing stuff but it does cost a few bob.

My cost is about $45 a tube plus $2.50 a 10:1 nozzle for plexus 425. But you're right, our trailers are held together with the stuff

We do heaps of fibreglass repairs to semi trailer fridge vans were I work. If you want some chopped strand matting for the job sing out and I can send a few metres your way. Couriers / Post might not like the resin in the post though!

Steelforce 1300 661 700

Steelforce did a 30 length pack though, not 64. Didn't make any difference to the price though.

Citisteel at Darra are usually more than Steelforce and charge more for delivery, but for me, they are much more convienient. Citisteel quoted $30+ per length.

Steelforce deliver daily as far as Gympie, Tanawah is $80+

My price is $25.70 + per 8mtr length. Another supplier is $30+ for a pack.

Delivery in Brisbane would be $45, I could ask for a price to the sunny coast.

my way of thinking is if i chop say for example 1000kg of then why could i not tow 1000kg more will find out when i call eng I certainly do not see how a vehicle that is now a 1000kg lighter could possibly tow an extra 1000kg safely. I would be surprised if an enginer would even consider this as an ...

Fitted for at least 18 months now, kit came with castor correction bushes that I made sure I took a lot of care fitting correctly and we have done a lot of highway klm's.

if you fit a 3inch be prepared to convert it to part time i had to do it with mine otherwiase you get shaft vibes and extend ya sway bar brackets and break lines ya front sway bar rubs on ya front tail shaft This might depend on where you got your kit from. You do not have to convert it to part ...

As far as I know the only way to increase your towing capacity is to buy a post '96 cruiser. I have abs and 2 cupholders, maybe that's it...
