Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Is the bearing removable once its welded up?
If it's set up the way I think it is, you won't use the original bearing housing, the hubs replace it.
similar setup to the 60 diffs in your Sierra Dave


LOL I havent been on Outers for months because pretty much the last time I was here Dave was ...

bolted up so sweet, light tp and she was on.

only thing i didn't like was the 4 bolt holes on the motor side are about 14mm for a 10mm bolt. The kit came with 4 4mm thick laser cut washers so they cannot pull in.

I will have to skim the spacer plate between the gearbox and bellhousing by about ...

Don't cut it in half!!!!!! That is a very bad idea. Get some tube with the same inside diameter as the outside diameter of the drag link, cut it in half length ways then put the 2 halfs over the drag link and stitch the tube back together.

Dave why you would tell someone to cut a steering ...

I agree with the yota Diesel, if you want a Diesel, a VW 1.6 or 1.9 is your best bet, but hard to find over here.

There's a huge range of aftermarket stuff for the toy axles, with gears from 3.2's all the way through to 5.29's, Most of the extra mass in the Toy axles is in the brakes, When upgraded ...

its a jimny............ :roll:

It's a Sierra :finger:

Suzuki is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the launch of the original rugged compact 4x4 – the evergreen Jimny Sierra.
The Jimny (originally named the LJ10 in overseas markets) was launched in 1970 as the world’s first affordable, but ...

Here's one for the guru's here. I'm no gearbox specialist, in fact I hate working on them. I usually stick to engines and making stuff :lol:

So.... anyways

Pulled a Transfer case out of a 91 Vitara today to put a bearing kit through it.
Apparently the owner had reduction gears fitted about 12 ...

Ok, so my defender, the drive plates and CV Splines are stuffed, more backlash than a fart in an elevator full of models

How much would I be looking at to have the CV's replaced and HD drive flanges installed ?
I've had quotes of up to $200 each just for the flanges

had exactly the same problem and chased it for ages... :bad-words: :bad-words: .
rock hard pedal when motor off and once started pedal would go to the floor, happened when i changed booster. tried about 3 or 4 diff boosters etc, etc etc.

a mate followed the brake lines towards the back of the car ...

Fitted a Brand new PBR unit

Are you losing any brake fluid from the resevoir?

Nope

after driving, the first hit of the pedal is spongy as you've described. but come to a complete stop and the pedal will slowly continue sinking, close enough to the floor that it may as well be on it

So with the engine off can you get a firm pedal or does it sink?

Yup, no vacuum to the booster and it's rock solid
Interestingly, the vacuum pump generates a bit over 30" of vacuum, I woulda thought that was a lot :shock:

You may have some crud in the system and when you pushed the piston in ...

Went to put new pads in the front the other day, go to wind in the callipers, left hand one starts leaking fluid everywhere,
no biggy, have a spare so whack it on.
Bled it up, and the Pedal starts sinking :agrue:

Think I've stuffed the cylinder, so get a new PBR one whack it on, same bloody thing ...

welds can be tested and so can strength etc, however its at high cost and the 4x4 shops wont want any part in doing that.....

Screwy
Yeah the stupid part about that is that a boilermaker etc can't legally weld anything on a registered vehicle unless it's his own, yet a mechanic with nothing more ...

Got it, watched it (bout 5 times so far)

Loved it!



Can even see my ugly mug a few times

I used 14" bilsteins in the front of my lux. Ive got about 5" of uptravel and 9" down before the shock maxes out.

Have you checked the clearance of those knuckle gusset with the felts and wipers? Looks like they may need some grinding.

Yeah, they got clearanced with the die grinder I cut them ...

LN or YN65, same easy panels to get a little prone to rust in the cab

LN YN 86-106 Slightly larger cab, panels harder to get, better gearbox.

Diffs etc are the same, brakes on the later models are larger but they are interchangeable with the earlier ones

Been rebuilding the front end in my Lux,.....and doing properly this time

Braced the knuckles and added some beefy 1.25" shock mounts

With Hydro Assist steering, will the wheels still turn if you take the draglink off? If not, is there away to make it so it runs with a draglink onroad and without one off road?

Cheers, Josh

One of the cars @ Cliffhanger actually lost his drag link on one stage and he managed to drive about 1/2 ...

did this go ahead, i am looking to maybe do a LS1 to surf, otherwise it be a 308, i currently have a L67 supercharged VT V6 but its too thirsty

In the process of doing this too, biggest problem is that the LS1 crank is set back further into the block, that's why the Marks 80 series kit has that ...

The RTA does not recognise NCOP in its current form in any way, although some engineers are using it

Ok. so i was bored at work and flicking through wheeling magazines looking for ideas for when i build a camper trailer. I saw an ad for full airbag suspension in 4wd's and i got to thinking.....

Is there any reason why an airbag couldn't be used in the place of coil springs in a camper trailer? I ...

Best place to get em in Sydney ( For a hilux)

80 series it will be then, eventually.....
Bought discs and caliper kits for the lux diff today, also have a swag of parts coming from Lockedup and Hobzee

Before I put in the 80's stuff, I'll still have to get a rear air ...

Bump

I'm about to put a front diff back in the Lux,
I have two options, the hilux front housing with high steer, IFS hub conversion and high pinion Locker centre, I'll have to get some cr-mo CV's later. I'll also have to get new rotors and rebuild the 60 series callipers I have

The other option is an 80 ...

Maybe a silly question, but why flip the rear housing ?
