Outer Limits 4x4 Board

i made mine out of stormwater pipe with an cap on each end. Fits snuggly where the origional was. For a couple of dollars, i figured if i had to make a new one each year, i'm still in front. Had it for about two years, and didn't deteriate at all

have since sold that vehicle

cheers

I currently have my winch back at the distributor in Melbourne being repaired under warrenty. I bought an ironman winch in december 06, was in Tassie in March, and the whole car died, (no power to anything). Opened the hood to find sparks jumping off the battery. Disconnected all leads and worked ...

cheers will give that one a go and see what happens!!!

many thanks

are in the process of fitting marks electronic ratio box for speedo correction and need to locate the VSS plugs leading to the speedo. The instructions say they should be located on top of the transfer case in the transmission loom. My query is which plug. The one that enters the gearbox on the ...

Have a 3lt 2002 auto and would like to change the oil. but can't seem to locate the fill location. would help to locate it before draining the box

Have just purchsed a GU patrol which has the Mannel 5" Extreme lift kit. My question is in relation to the disconnects for the rear swaybar. Do i only unpin one or both sides. If both are unpinned, will the swaybar not rotate and point towards the ground. Also how much pressure is required to ...

The best thing about OME on a tourer is that you can buy most spares in almost any town, if something should not last the trip. How many agents for ARB are throughout this country compared to ironman, ridepro etc...

looking at upgrading the shorty to a Gu wagon and one has come up for sale in town. It's a 2002 model with most goodies already on it. Most are ARB, which,bull bar, driving lights, 2" suspension, BFG all terrains, roofrack, dual batteries, outback roller draws, uhf, roof console etc... Price he was ...

the havdbrake on my shorty won't hold on the slightest of hills. what's the go with adjusting them so they work

cheers george

a bloke in our club has an o4 rodeo single cab and has just bought a set of radial claws in 33in. No worries about lifting the tray to fit under but was wondering what he needs to do to the front end. Wind up torsen bars only or will he need to do a body lift of an inch or two. if a body lift is ...

i run a set of 315x75x16 on my shorty, and for their price I think they are great, but they are only a mud tyre. Can have two sets of these for the price of one set of Claws or ET's

George

but the thing is, i have an ARB battery tray in there, so it needs to be the same size as factory, as i have no other room, plus i ordered 2 the other day

I've also got the ARB battery tray. It's a tight fit but it will fit.

Not too sure how long it will last but I've just made one out of 90mm stormwater pipe. Cut a short length, caped each end and put a 'T' piece in the middle with a screw top lid. Cost about $6. For that amount I don't care if I have to replace it every 12 months

toughnut Posted: Fri Apr 29, 2005 8:41 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AH. You wouldn't own it if you couldn't keep working on it. 4wd's are never finished. There's always something to upgrade or fix. Thats half the fun... Tell me about it. $$$ I ...

Sorry no pics, No access to digital camera or scanner, nothing too major, just enough to piss me off

Sikaflex a patch onto it.

Great idea, but the hole I have blown into it is on the corner and about four inches across - sounds like I am up for a new one - don't tell the missus though.

How pissed off would you be if you have cut your 1/4 panels, but not built the rear bar yet and then dented them... Well, i've done exactly that. Spent a few nights in the shed, cut and filled the panels, not yet built the rear tube bar, and then last weekend in Toolangi, copped a dent. At first ...

thanks quys, shall give the above a try, then maybe off to the auto elec. Is there anyway of 'waterproofing' or 'mudproofing' the alternator so this does not reoccur

George

Have hit the radiator overflow tank with pressure washer and blown a hole in it. What,s my best option for replacement, wreckers or another model vehicle, as I've heard the factory models aren't the best plastic.

Do they need to be able to hold much pressure.

Have a 4.2 diesel, and during the long weekend in Toolangi, my alternator has died. I assume that I've filled it up with mud or water. Is there an easy fix or is it back to the auto elec, as it has had new bushes and bearing replaced after the Easter trip. This leading to the 2nd question. When ...

Cooper ST's are only 31's so that's the main reason for them sitting in the shed. Mainly used on longer trips where quite alot of bitchie and gravel roads are expected. Have had a little use in mud, not bad, kept up with full mud tyres, and as for rocks, not alot of use, but would recommend them ...

the measurement i got was side to side, and yes, very similar to procomp muddies. Also, no side biters sorry.

Just been out to measure them, on vehicle they come in at 34.5" tall. These came from Barham tyre Centre. Not sure on retail, but this price was from a mate who works on his property. I assume this was cost price.

Back to the origional question... I think you will find a set of Silverstone mt117 (from memory, about 34" on 16" rims) at Barham Tyre Service. For those who don't know where Barham is, it's in S/W NSW, on Murray River. Between Swan Hill and Echuca. Rob's the owner of the store, was talking about ...

i've just bought a set of Buckshot Maxxis Mudders 315x75x16 for $235 each. Only a mud tyre, but very quiet. My set of cooper ST are noisier. So far, so good!!

Well i've had a play with the tyre, droped it down to 12psi and the left door still catches by about 6mm (about half the tread depth). Might try some sort of spacers to go behind tyre.

perhaps I'll just get onto a 'bald' spare tyre!!!

Rear bumper has been removed, for custom rear bar to be fitted at later date. More worried about the left door not being able to open and if right door is opened fully, will it crack tail light assembly. Also is much stress placed on driveline if I was to run 1 tyre of 33" and the other 3 at 35"
