Outer Limits 4x4 Board

15" rims will fitmodels up till about 93 sometime io think, the 4.5 litre 80's have 16".

cool, cheers for the replies very helpfull indeed scott!

thanks for the quick reply

So if a similar product to the redarc is available, but with bit more of a secure 'locking' mehcanism. That would be an ok set up for a few small appliances?

that link is a bit of handy reading

Hi, i need to replace my cig lighter as it is loose i think and causing fuses to constantly blow. My questions are, is it hard to put a new socket in and wire it up? (i suck at electrics) or can i still use my current one but just tighten it sorta thing? it will still charge things, its just when ...

check the 'dome' fuse. ill bet its blown. i bet you also have no interior lights either do you...

x2 .. did this when i swapped stereo's without disco'ing the battery. Took me a while to find it but did the job. Also figure your dash lights will be out too..

no and no, have full dash lights and ...

Grab a test light or multimeter, pull the dash apart and check that you are getting power the plugs, to rule out problems with the radio itself.

fergot to mention the clock is also out, thus my thinking its a fuse

any other way to find the problem apart from pulling the dash apart, reallf CBF ...

radio and ciggarette lighter are gone on my 80, replaced fuses and still nothing.

?? whats the go??

cheers

Some rims nice rims have come up cheap, theyre 16x10 so pretty fat, would these be likely to rub on my guards at full flex n whatnot? Cause i beleive they will stick out the guards a little? Thats with 305 MTZ's and a little bit of lift. At the moment i have the mtz on stock gxl rims and have no ...

all the lights on my dash except the 'check engine' light popped on randomly and have since stayed. Had done a bit of wheeling, nothing serious though. NOthing seems wrong with the car, and suggestions?

it's a 4.5 petrol/lpg if that matters

cheers

thats a z9 ryvo filter? thatught they didnt work well on 80's?

cheers

tried search but nothing came up, wanna service my 80, what oil and filter should i use? also, any other handy hints or anything to do with servicing

cheers,

get bit of a sound comeing thru my auto box at about 60km in 3rd, it kinda sounds like a bug is trapped in the shifter sorta thing. Any ideas? cheers

hi, found an 80 series 94 4.5 auto GXL, 200 00kms, lpg.

It has been used for towing a horse float at somepoint in it's life, is that an issue or?

And the biggie for me, no service records...

Normally i woulda stayed away form that, but its been the best for the condition/kms/price (11,500. The ...

i've read the auto box's in 80's are strong as so that doesnt worry me.

Not hell fussed between auto and manual, just been lookin at the occasional one cause they're generally cheaper.

so you reckon that's overpriced?

Ive been looking for about 3 months at 80's. This is probably one of the cheapest petrols that ive seen considering k's and condition it's in

i'd say it has been in an acccident lookin at it again. Notice the lack of the "4500" badge on the rear quarter?

I'm goin to hopefully have a look at it tomorrow anyway

theres been a few in adelaide for around 11, 95ish auto, 4.5i on gas with 200ish km

All others average around 13-14, stock diesels included

how much more are they to run?

cause an auto would be nice for a change

looklin at 80's, and have noticed you can get auto low km 4.5's fairly cheap, why is that? just because its auto or because it's not very good or?? are they good on gas?

Yes i tried search but couldnt find anything

thanks

nah havent thought about anything else small besides a zook really. My mates (atari4x4 on here i think) has got a hotted up j20 i think it is so seeing that thing always makes me want a zook, Then i saw a jimny the other day that i dunno how but had 33's on it. Looked fuckin rad, now i want one lol ...

Well im in bit of a dilemma. Lately ive been thinking that i would quit like vitara zook or an early jimny. This would require me selling my beloved GQ diesel shorty. My reason for this being, im sick of driving a truck everywhere. Car has done 345 thou, but engine/gearbox everything its still ...

ive tried some muffler putty tybe stuff. Let it dry for a number of hours etc And it blew thru the second i gave it a decent squirt. I think welding/wiring/siliconing a coke can type of thing over it could work. cheap too

thanks for all the replies

thanks fopr the replies.

Yes it is desperate, i want to get a new system but just cant afford to. Ive had enough of the noise and the loss of power so i just want it fixed till i can get a new system.

Re the rust, howd that come about? the hole/rip was caused by a rock

The pop rivet idea could be ...

is this easy or is it a but I'm gayer than aids! considering the materials so thin? the wholes about 2 cm wide i guess

thanks

couldnt you push start it?

If the motors cold ive heard pouring some boiled water on the glow plugs can assist

my stereo just died while the car was warming up this morning, along with my interior light. Any suggestions why? fuses and connections are fine. Whats the chance of something else now going aswell?

cheers

is there a way i can tell how much my suspensions sagged over standard? It's sagged quite a bit, but i'd lke to know how much lift i'll get when my new gear goes in. Everythings completely stock from the factory except for some 31" buckys. Its an 88 shorty

cheers!

i gotta agree with what everyone else says, theres no use buying bald tyres, you'll only get a few runs out of them and then you'll have to replace them again. In the long term its better to buy a set that are like 50% worn cause atleast they'll still have some chop

I was in the same situo, needed ...

it was indeed just the fuse!

Lucky i posted here and asked, i didnt even think of checking the fuse, i was gonna pay someone to fix it!

thanks heaps
