Outer Limits 4x4 Board

This is a common problem with chev V8 diesels, caused by either cheap glowplugs or usually the timer/operator has glowed them too long and they have swelled/burnt out.
There is a special tool which pulls them out every time, costs about $70 on ebay. See auction 140384688274 on ebay.com
I've used ...

Look for a set of Humvee manifolds, they are stainless headers from the factory, you'll find them on ebay.

Make sure that whatever you buy is equivalent to the current model top of the line Drill Doctor 750X as this is the only model that allows split point and variable angle sharpening for different materials.
Can't comment on the quality of the chinese copies but they are still 2/3rds the price of the ...

Another vote for a Drill Doctor, does them perfectly every time from a couple of mm up to 3/4" /19mm. Can do normal, split point, masonry and left hand.
I bought the 750x from the US for about $AU170 and a 110v to 240v 300watt transformer from a bloke in Wagga for $AU32 and it works really well. I ...

But it will out pull most other standard winches.
I had one for about twenty years, put it on 4 different cruisers, it never missed a beat.
stupidly left it on the last troopy.

You would be better to use a 240v battery charger off the gennie, there are high output ones around and much better than using the 12v side of the gennie.

Why not fit a HID globe to the main headlight?
H4 hi/lo HID globes are readily available, you can even bike specific kits from the likes of http://www.brightlightautoparts.com/HIDKits.html.
Ive now fitted two HID kits from an ebay seller "95soarer" based in Melbourne, one pair of H4 Hi/Lo in the ...

I've tried a few well known brands over the years on both cars and 4wd's and found that the Hella H4 reflectors give the best beam. You can fit them with Halogen globes up to 90/140's or even put a set of HID's in them. I've recently fitted the HId's to mine and the difference in light output is ...

I've fitted HID hi/lo in H4 Hella inserts, seem to work well with a good sharp cutoff. No one flashes me so obviously no problem to oncoming vehicles.
When fitting check that the position of the arc is the same as the halogen globe, if so you should have no problems.
As mentioned stick to the better ...

Very few trans coolers have 1/2" lines as the ATF is very thin especially when hot.
Most vehicles run 3/8" lines and quite a lot even smaller as the fluid is pumped around the cooling circuit pretty rapidly.
My humvee only has 3/8 lines for the trans and 5/16 for the power steering circuit even ...

Don't use the aluminium flywire as it causes electrolysis with the radiator if it touches, I just use the soft nylon stuff, chuck it away when it is clogged.

Far stronger and heavier than hilux diffs, probably overkill on a zook unless it is repowered to something much bigger.
Same size as 70's, 60' etc

55's came with 5 1/2 inch split rims and 7.50 x 16 tyres, Roadtrak Majors to be precise.
The split rims stayed the same width right through till the 78/79 and 100 series went to 5 stud when they went out to 6" width.
There were a few changes in the actual centres over the years, the first change was ...

They are noisy especially when cold, I've got two here in humvee's and they are both the same. The humvee's run stainless headers standard which doesn't help as cast manifolds seem to help muffle the noise a bit.
all the other ones that I've heard are noisy too.
A friend with a 6.5 in an 80 series ...

there is actually about 4 inches (100mm) difference between the front footwells as the engine is kicked/angled towards the RHS to increse the LHS footwell space for the driver. It also allows the front driveshaft to run up beside the sump and trans to the front diff which is offset to the left about ...

Belrose (northern Sydney) RFS still have one fully restored, don't think it gets a lot of use these days but we used it regularly back in the mid 80's.

I'm trying to find out, read about it a while back but haven't found anyone that knows where it is.
Thought we might find a 'local'

I've been running B100 in the truck for the last couple of months, goes well, will have to go back to probably B50 in the cooler weather as it doesn't like cold starts on B100.
You can buy it at two places in sydney now, milperra and Marrickville

The humvee's run 2-3 psi when fitted with a deep fording kit.
They use the existing breather setup which is connected to the electric winch, diffs, power steering reservoir, master cylinder, auto trans, transfer case, drop hubs and fuel tank and supply crankcase pressure by turning a valve on the ...

Turbo 400 and NP218 transfer, one day I'll stuff a 4L80 and 242 in (that's what the civilian Hummers and new military trucks run.

I've used 2 1/4" ID hose on the humvee when the bottom hose let go, was loose fit but just tightened the clamp up and it worked ok till I could get the proper hose.
What sort of shape do you need as the bottom hose on a Hummer/Humvee is two piece with a short bit (6"long) which goes from the ...

It will depend on your engine, later models won't like it, earlier low tech engines will probably tolerate it.
My humvee is ex-USAF so I'd reckon it has spent most of its life running on jetfuel.
Mixing it with diesel would be the go and for peace of mind fit a EGT so you can compare temps with and ...

Was going to say that a decent parts place will be able to match the belts by measuring the ones you have or reading the numbers off them.
I've got the numbers for the ones for the 6.2 in my humvee but I'd reckon they would be different to what you want.
what else do you need ?
Linquip in QLD is ...

Sometimes it can be a design problem especially when the vehicle concerned was originally designed as a 2wd.
The further the retractor mechanism is off the floor the sooner it will retract/lock when the vehicle is tilted.
There also ppears to be a difference between say a Cruiser inertia reel and ...

I've got friends have done the same, regularly take out the front diff, as I keep telling him, the problem is you aren't supposed to go 4wding, they're meant for shopping. ;-)) He even broke a diff climbing a gutter to park on the nature strip.
I was under the impression that a solid spacer was ...

Torque chevrolet in sydney has done quite a few too, has all the moulds for RHD dash and trims.

From my experience having had a 1hz troopy for 12 years it is unlikely to be an airlock IF you are opening the heater when refilling, leave the heater on for the first full heat/cold cycle, which will ensure all air is out if the cap is ok.
Check that the vent tube from the rad cap to overflow ...

They all (approx 20 odd intact ones anyway) came into the country legitimately, as has been stated they are supposed to be destroyed when purchased for scrap value BEFORE they leave the US bases. Somehow about a 100 odd 'escaped' intact from the USAF in Saudi Arabia. Most were spirited away ( a lot ...

No but there is one lives at Bondi, see it parked in the driveway

Far worse I'd imagine, when I got the Humvee it had them all round, half worn etc etc. At 80k you couldn't hear the engine or anything else and speech was impossible. It was also nigh on impossible to stay in a lane on suburban multi lane roads. Fortunately on the only trip I ever did with them to ...
