Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Stop mucking around with the metallurgy of the shaft and you will reduce the chance of wrecking it. Instead of softening it to drill and tap the end and then re-hardening it just grab a stainless M6 or M8 socket head countersink screw and TIG weld it directly to the end of the shaft. I did this on ...

Thought you may like to know that the Qld Winch Challenge is on that weekend and I have organised about 10 car loads of mates and I know of at least another 20 cars heading up. The place will be packed.

If anybody saw a GME handheld UHF on any of the courses ied love it back please i has S.Browitt engraved on the back side of it
and i'ed really apreciate it returned if anybody has found it .
I'm thinking it fell out of my pocket on a stage.....

Good one Steve...now we will get a penalty for ...

I was happy to see so many teams win SS's this year and see the points so close. I would have to say that Trackabout had the swankiest out fits and the busiest door stickers I have seen.

If there was a team spirit award it should have gone to the Zukes of Hazard (how good is that name) for getting ...

I would like to say a big :armsup: on behalf of Bega Road Wrecking Racing for a great weekend. Fantastic fun playing in the muk and mess.

As BIG GQ would like to find the guy who left the "Present" on his chair we would like to find the mug that thought it was funny to set the hubs on Steve's 60 ...

It will be intresting to see how a team of zooks fair against the big trucks.
Go the Zukes of hazard :!: :!:

Well done on the team name boys, will Daisy be with you? Wish we had thought of that one back when we all used to play with those Zuk things. They would have all been painted orange too ...

:lol: Typical drunk Rangie driver rambling half cut on cheap work fluid.

Andy,

You have done heaps of personal training [supposedly], how about your driving skills or vehicle reliability? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hi buddy, how you doin? I don't have to worry about reliability Alby I'm in "Bob the ...

So we have had incredible fitness training thanks largely to the Australian Army training centre at Canungra and the help of a certain former SAS officer whom we cannot name. We have been dropped into the middle of my mothers cousins cattle property near Duchess in north west Qld and had just two ...

Team Bega Road Wreckers are ready and willing to defend our title to the death. :D We even put new cable ties on "Bob". I kid you not it even has a (1) new tyre.

We don't have a half track vehicle this year but we still intend to keep all officials and event organisers on their toes. It is our ...

Faces of pain.

Shots of the top 3 on our ss on Sunday.

Jumping in with the Discovery shopping cart. Should be good, looking forward to it.

Standard Rover "total loss lubrication system" as used on the horse-less carriage. Bin the engine mounts and replace them with XJ12 Jaguar. Welcome to the Wonderful World of Rover.

If you already have the maxis as Groffo does why would you spend more?

how??? Maxi drive axles fitting with Toy centres

Toyota 3rd member housing and pinion with crown wheel bolted to maxi-drive. Some maxi-drives will require a sleeve machined to fit the outer race of the bearings as the Toyota carrier bearing are bigger than some Rover models but all important ...

Hi Griffo it's Andy Gerding here how are you mate? You might want to consider Toyota centers in your housings. You can still run the Maxi-Drives if it's done right.

Cheers,
Andy

I put this in another thread but it hasn't been picked up so I thought I'd start a new one.

On the subject of winch bars on Discos I was wondering what people out there have done to mount Hi mounts? I took the Hi mount and ARB winch bar off my Rangie thinking it would bolt onto my '95 Disco only ...

I hate to hijack this thread but seeing as no one has posted since Sunday I feel I'm fairly safe.

I heard it costs about $400 per pot to resleeve the things. Some engine places can "pin" the sleeves to stop them moving again once you have it right.

I have a 4.3 stroker that slipped one far enough to catch the top ring and pull the top out of the piston (see photos)

Hope this helps,
Andy

Trav, I put a vehicle over backwards during round three of the winch challenge in 2002 (see photo) and Glen Binskin repeated it right behind me, trust me...I like to have a clutch pedal I just wish I had jumped on it earlier.

Here is my 82 four door limo.
Had a 4.3 litre stroker but I popped it so it's a 3.5 at the moment.
Diffs are laminated housings with Maxi Drives front and rear.

Mate, don't quote me on this but aren't those hoses from the absorption canister connected to the fuel bowl breathers? If you have fuel in the hose you may have a stuck needle and seat or some other form of flooding problem.

4. vehicles will need roll cage/ helmet/ window nets etc as per winch challenge / outback rules. Safety is a very high priority.

That's me out! I'm too tight to spend the money on cage, nets and harnesses. I rang Clarky and it looks like he will let me marshal so I can take my frustrations out ...

7th of May...why do they have to line up with the Lions home games? Thats me and Phil out.

Andy

Wanna see a fast hydraulic set up look no further than Roger Smiths Yellow Rangie.

I was in the Outback Challenge in 2003 and personally know two of the guys from Qld who ran T-Max and I can testify that as a recovery tool they work but are painfully slow. Easily the slowest winches at the Outback Challenge that I saw. As the winches were brand new I couldn't say how long you ...

What about Chris Nash at Nash Off Road?

Great guy ex Rangie racer.

Andy

Can anyone explain why the drivers side only stop tail on my RR has a very short life expectancy? It usually only lasts a few days and when it blows it turns black and grey. Totally FUBAR.

Andy

All kitted out now with XJ12 engine mounts. Realistically XJ12 on the engine and XJ6 on the gearbox would probably do or XJ12 on the passenger’s side and XJ6 on the drivers would also probably do. They do look bullet proof.

Cheers,
Andy
