Outer Limits 4x4 Board

What capacity did you end up with?

No, but when mosko talks no one really listens

When did winch challenges become so bitchy? All 3 series are awsome and should be welcoming as many people as possible.

And probably less damage... LOL!

I would hope so haha

Yeah different size cvs though, not sure a Longfield will physically fit In a gq hub assembly.


Gq use 60s longs
Gu use 80s longs
Got an email back from bolsy, he uses a hilux Longfield not a 60 for the gq's. strong enough?


Hilux and 60's are the same cv.
Well there ya go, you learn ...

This is part of the email

With the conversion the parts we supply are Hy Tuf axles which are custom made to suit GU inners and 80 series Longfield Cv's. Also supplied Is an adaptor so the cv will bolt into your GU housing, and we also supply either drive flanges for permanent 4wd (comp truck) or ...

What exactly does a Longfield conversion consist of?

Not even a bite, you've changed. Haha

Is it true you only put your hand up to organise morc so you had a decent excuse not to race?

I think it's time for a 6 day thread sterlo! There's way to much excitement going on.

Is horny keen? I heard he wouldn't get the time off. Or is it big bird, he was gunna be one of my first targets

Cliffhanger is one of those must do events, I just hope I get to do it one day. Give it a couple of years and sterlos 6 day will be a must do aswell. I won't be down in my patrol, but hopefully me and my brother will be down in his jeep ( I know, he must be adopted or something )

I call bullshit. You say this full well knowing you have goats wedding on that weekend.

Way ahead of your Brian, me and mosko are trying to get a few central qld boys down for 6 day. Looking like atleast 2 from Gladstone will make the trip down at the moment, would love to get another couple. Unfortunately it's to close to cliffhanger and I think we will lose a few teams to that, but ...

While australians seem to be fucking obsessed with electric winches (all the winch challenge boys all seem to think that electric winches are the only way to pull a vehicle :roll: )

You still need engine power so in the case of a rollover recovery would be difficult

Also there are quite a ...

If you have the time I say go for it. It's great seeing different ideas, even if they arnt 100% perfect. You might create something awsome. Here's a few pics of my twin motor lowmount, russ did the air freespool and ratios, and me and a couple of mates made the motor adapter.

Didn't think of the worm drive, I think they are brass? Probably wouldn't handle the speed of the motors at 24v. The worm drive also acts as the brake, so there must be a way to disconnect the drum

A comp spec low mount runs a 26:1 ratio with twin 6hp @24v, some also run triple motors. A good friend of mine has been cutting his own highmount gear sets anywhere from 30:1 to 60:1. He also made a one off set of 18:1 for a gigglepin top hat running 4x 6hps, crazy fast.

Winches this fast do lose ...

Thats just lame

No racing for me, but hopefully I make it up to watch. With all those quality racers up there it's sure to be some top notch racing.

Also new mackay venue? So new Saturday night " special stage" ? See if we can get mick drunk enough to get his wallet out again.

I hope there is enough "racing" next weekend

Totally agree, walking just uses valuable drinking energy.

Guaranteed those two will be significantly hotter than the rest, so it is a good point to be measuring from.

This is purely because of the standard intake manifold yeah ?

Shieldsy wrote:Are there laws against motorised eskys at this comp?

Any vehicle with performance upgrades will require a roll cage. As long as you follow the rules I think you will be safe. . Since no glass Mabey a motorised keg completed with tap, bottle and plastic cups ? And a winch because kegs are heavy.

My brother is selling a cruiser, would make a good starting point. Something different from the normal v8 patrol. In the classifieds

and he no

You sure he would tell you?

If it does fail, it will almost definalty weld shut, not melt open. The contacts themselves can carry alot of current, it's when that current is tried to be broken than it arcs, melts the 2 faces of the contact together and cannot be switched off.

Seems to be a few competing in cliffhanger, so I'm assuming NSW and Vic.
