Outer Limits 4x4 Board

any bigger than 32's on the standard rim will rub, they touch on the rear of the wheel arch where the mudflap mounts bigger offset moves the wheel out more and makes it worse take a look at it on full lock and you will see what i mean. saying that its pretty easy to fit 285/75/16's on up to -5 ...

I found this to match my 76 model

the letters next to the wire tell you what colour it is and the colours are written down the bottom

Anyone have better prices in Melbs west??

I got $350 in Tas 6 weeks delivery

Did you adjust up the shoes so there was slight resistance when turning the wheels first before you pushed the pedal, if not the first few times you push the pedal its pushing the pistons out until shoes touch the drum.

Isn't it about time you put up a build thread?

Was thinking that myself.. that would be a sweet in this car..

Even a 1HD-FT, if I had an unlimted budget for my troopy I would go this way.

Does the spring hanger have enough clearance for the military wrap on the springs?
More concerned about the fixed pin hangers.

Matt

It does rub, if the hanger cracks i will replace it with a big eye one i have on a bj wreck in my yard

sounds like a plan. I need to have a good look at the 60 and 75 column and work out which one to use for my troopy.

yeah good plan, Is there enough beef on the other uni to drill it out or have it resplined, or if engineers would pass the column getting machined down and re splined.
Thats if you can find a 55 column

I have heard of these bushes before. Has anyone run these before? what are the up's and down's of them?
Also do they come in rubber or Poly urethane?

Yes i run them with 60's rear springs and 40's front they are poly

arb sell old man emu bushes that have the pig pin cruiser outside diameter and small pin inside to run the larger eye springs as they only make large eye in the dakar range. so you use these bushes and small pin shakles

Looking around on other forums, now that 55 columns are getting hard to find most people are using 7X or 60 series columns now and the collapse-able intermediate shaft for the 7x models and or modifying the factory column with an extra bearing at the bottom and having it splined.

Either way the 55 ...

If you run the IFS rear housing, which is wider than the SAF housing.
Im not 100% on how to widetrack the front, but its something to do with IFS hub spacers.

Aza has just done this to his new Lux, I know of a few other Lux guys that have done it too, I know Ashleybmx has done it.
Maybe have a ...

Yes it will fit but not a straight fit, all ratio's are the same apart from the overdrive 5th and the shaft size and spline count is the same on all g/boxes apart from the diesels.
I put one in my FJ40 I had too
cut a hole in the floor as the shifter is 50mm further back,
cut out the tube cross ...

we use HIAB brand ones on our work utes and canter, the one on the canter can lift a tonne or two and both can be can be quite handy. If funding is an issue you could make your own upside down L shape frame and use an ATV winch and pulleys?

Danny do you have a build thread? I would like to see how you made your front bar.

that is all

Yeah mate,
http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/viewtopic ... 6&t=213677

There isn't any detail on how i did the bar i will put some up there tonight when i get hoe from work.

with -35 offset or whatever the normal sunnys are the rotor is still well protected, would be unlucky to hit anything there.

Or did you leave the shims out on the king pins they set the pre load on the knuckle

Where in tassie are you from? I live on the nw coast and have a 40 too, im doing what you are talking about using a 3fe head on the 2f so its fuel injected, im also turbocharging mine at the same time. what motor you go for depends on what you will use it for and what your budget is.

Can't remember his username but hopefully the member will chime in. He has a 40 with a 2f Turbo I think. Some good details in his build thread.

I would looked at EFI while your there.

Matt Mcinnes he called it a 2feti used the 2f block with the 3fe head and a turbo, he did alot of mods for more ...

I went the rotor spacer route. Spacer is about 30mm from memory.
Rotor spacers = legal/engineerable
Wheel spacers = illegal

33mm to be exact

I run the IFS 4Runner hubs with marks adapters spacer. Myself and vk7ybi live close by and had this discussion when I was doing mine and no doubt the way he is doing his is the ultimate but I didn't have the skill or gear to do it myself or the money to pay someone and was nto keen on parts like the ...

I dont like the look of the way they mount the caliper.. Not only is that bad, it messes with the scrub radius and puts the centre of the wheel off-centre on the wheel bearings..

Since i did mine, what you said with the increase in scrub radius was correct and it tramlines or follows the small ...

You married the wrong sister then.

Don't the monster rides cv's offer more movement before binding as well?

I have heard from a local ARB dealer they lifted their hilux 4" with no diff lowering and the cv binds and something to do with the cv getting pulled out of the diff.

Post 05 hilux have coilover type strut not torsion bar, the limiting factor seems to be the cv joints as far a wheel travel goes, as for lift you can get anything up to 6". have a look at http://www.newhilux.net/forum plenty of info there

turbo EFI 2f with 3fe head

Pin towards the centre of the spring at the top. As the spring moves the shackle moves towards the centre of the spring and the pin hits the chassis to stop it inverting.

and steelart above i think is seeling the sheet metal precut based on twistys design so pm him if you want one

here is the pic of the bulb covers. I have no idea why they are there and even if it would make that much difference if i could remove them. They are spot welded to the panel in 2 positions and look difficult to remove unless i could get the accessory gauges out of my way. another option is to ...
