Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I was thinking of supercharging my 1HZ 105 series Landcruiser. There is a kit available at: http://www.bulletcars.com/superchargers/toyota/1-hz-diesel-42-supercharger-system.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I am just wondering if anyone had any experience with these systems?

I ...

What tests I need to do to diagnose whether it is front or rear drive shaft?

Hi,

I have a free play in drive-train that is most noticeable when going slowly in high gears for example:

Press and release accelerator while doing 40km/h in 4th gear
Press and release accelerator while doing 60km/h in 5th gear

Not that I am driving my car in those gears all the time but just ...

Thanks mate, very helpful

BTW, I am looking to get dual battery system installed not sure if Sure Power sold by ARB is a good option or there are better ones. I don't like TJM one as most of the stuff these days is made in China.

Thanks for the feedback guys,

I left the car with auto-sparky so I can't measure the voltages or inspect the tiny voltage sensing wire. but will do that once I get the car back.

1. I don't understand the way that tiny voltage sensing wire works. I assume it is connected to the positive battery ...

Hi Guys,

I have problems with alternator dying since I connected additional battery to the main car's battery. No isolators were used of any kind just 35mm copper cable to connect the main and axillary battery.

1. Installed a dual battery and connected it in parallel with the main car’s battery ...

Guys here is the link to the LCOOL forum that is discussing this topic in detail.

I checked my fan and it has yellow dot on the fan. Infact almost all parts in the car have yellow dots.

The fan is fairly stiff because I tried bending it by hand and it looks like it would brake before it could rich the radiator.

How can I check the part number of the fan?

What do you mean by LCOOL?

You recon that after market fan will not cause the damage?

not clicking but feels like two pieces of un-lubricated metal just rub against each other for maybe a second and then everything is back to normal.

Yeah it is full time 4wd, done only 170 000

Hi Guys,

I have 105 series landcruser, from time to time It produces a short noise in the front of the car.

I have noticed that noise occurs when for example changing gear from 4th to 3rd, especially if I am going litle bit fast for the 3rd gear. Maybe it is just coincidence but I think it almost ...

Thanks mate, that's very encouraging.
You mean the bra over the bull bar?

Hi Guys,

I am going to go to a Tag along tour in Tasmania in January. The tour operator told me to install a snorkel professionally.

He says that water depth can sometimes be up to the windscreen. In that case would your car be full of water after you cross the river? If that is the case than its ...

It seems that bag jacking is much safer and easier. After what I heard about high lift jacks I think they are an old tool that is very dangerous and used by its die hard fans only ))

Thanks guys,

Those were the answers I was looking for.

What bull bar would you recommend for me to fit so I can use the high lift jack on it.

The reason I want to use the high lift jack is because it seems one of the cheapest ways to get you out of the trouble in the bush. A winch would be ideal ...

Hi Guys,

Is it OK to put hifh lift jack inside my towbar rectangle and lift it.

Also I have factory Landcruser alloy bullbar on the front and it seems that I can't use the high lift jack to lift it either.

On the side I have factory side steps and it looks so fragile I would not even try to use ...

I am also worried about car being too high for some shopping centers where 2m height is max. So don't want to lift it too high. Its got the roof racks as well.

Why do you say I should go for 50mm as minimum?

Cheers,

Hi Guys,

I would like to raise my 100 series (solid axle) with Tough Dog Coil Spacers. Those wold raise the vehicle by 30mm and I would fit bigger tyres something like 285/75/16.

I am wondering if anyone had any experience with those spacers. Is there anything I should be aware of before buyng ...

Thanks guys,

Very informative.

I went to the Lanotec web site. It seems to be quiet good.

My question is: Does it dry completely after few days or is it sticky therefore making the sand stick to it when you drive on the beach?

And how do you remove it if you want to?

I have already bought the car. It is a GXL

My vehicle is 1998 100 Series GXL still looks like new underneath and everywhere else. I think it is still worth protecting it.

Actually I found a product that seems to be less messy then fisholine its called Penetrol Aluminium. Do you think it would be appropriate?

Thanks guys,

Do you have any brand names of actual products.

I plan to apply some degreser underneath then hire high presure water cleaner and give it a good wash underneath. Then apply the the rust protection product that you mentioned with the spray gun.

How about sand/salt that you get into ...

Thanks Ned,

Any reason I wold choose 305 over 285 except that it looks much better on the truck?

Hi Guys,

I have 100 series 4.2D with solid front axle. I want to buy Mickey Thompson MTZ tyres for it.

I also want to lift the truck a bit by fitting the bigger tyres on it. What would be the tallest tyre that I can fit on it without installing the lift kit?

Hi Guys,

I am planning a trip to Frasier Island around December/January. So I would like to do a rust protection for it.

I found some electronic devices which prevent corrosion. Has anyone had any experience with those?

Cheers,

Slobo

Thanks for reply mate,

So clutch shudder shouldn't be something to worry too much about.

How about the driveline freeeplay?

Cheers,

Hi Guys,

I have found a Landcruser 100 series 1998 model 4.2D with 169 000 km and full service history. The guy is asking $22500.

Do you think it is a good price for it?

Also I did the RACV check on the car it came very positive except two major items.

1. Clutch operation shudders slightly on ...
