Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Did it over a weekend.with lots of beer; could do it in a day if you got stuck into it. Ruff & BJ told me it would fit & i found out the rest as i went


MIKE

The box bolted up without to much trouble. gear sticks even come up in original position; only 1 bellhousing bolt doesn't line up. you need to move the crossmember back about 140mm & shorten the rear driveshaft & use the yoke from the later model driveshaft as the bolt pattern on the gearbox flange ...

that would be a baa baa

Just tell them it's not a bullbar it's a ROOBAR

have had the 5speed in for 2 weeks now. A few headaches getting the box in but what difference it has made so much smoother & quieter just need to tidy up the new crossmember mounts to get it certifed

BJ WROTE A good friend of mine died 30 kilometres from my house towing from the towball, on the 21st of March 2003 (less than two weeks ago) NO OLD WIVES TAILS, That is as true as I am sitting here, the ball sheared off, and tore his head in half. His Landrover Defender 130 was trapped in quicksand ...

thanks Tony just wanted to be sure
