Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hey all i am in the process of fitting a vt ecotec v6 in my 4wd ln106 hilux (was diesel if it matters) and dont want to run factory headers i would prefer a nice set of extractors on it but dont want to go buying any old set if they are not going to fit in between the chassis rails.

so i am ...

i had a 4y carb in my 83 model lux full motor rebuild with higher compression (10;1) and very mild port and polished head,extractors and exhaust and a weber carb with hi flow filter and it went really well.no power house but definately something i would look at doing.
simply buy a 4y (cheap as chips ...

ok so been looking at some tires to fit on my hilux but cannot find a suitable tire for my application so i figured why not see what other people have had and see what they think.
personally i am after something for all kinds of tracks,mud rocks gravel dirt sand etc
i am not worried about on road ...

i actually meant still running leaf springs all together just add a coil that makes the car taller and the coil take the harshness out of the bumps.

anyway have you ever seen a bundera front diff under a hilux?
i can get this bundera chassis real cheap so would the 3 link coil front end be fine and ...

Has anyone here put a coil spring on top of a leaf spring in a hilux?

I run ruf and soon to be high steer and 14" shocks but I'm having trouble making it comfortable enough.it runs a 5 leaf front pack but I was thinking of getting bundera front coils and mounting them to take the weight of the ...

i got 14'' bilstein inverted in the rear of my lux with custom 5 leaf pack with 255/70 valving and its the best thing i ever did.the rear is so soft now compared to when i had the original setup with extended shocks.
it has alot more bodyroll now though as the tops are nearly touching together so ...

Does it cost anything more to compete in the event than just entering the park?

Cheers..smiley..

not sure exactly how much longer but it wouldnt have been much as i used 2'' lifted springs and standard length shackles and it gave me a really good shackle angle so maybe 10-15mm longer so it gives you better shackle angle.

cheers..smiley..

also will i need helmets and nets?

what class would i be in for a hilux with:
-33's
-rear locker
-turbo diesel
-worked leaf springs

or atleast where i can get some more info on the comp would be great.

cheers..smiley..

hey all i will be putting a turbo 3rz in my car and have a few questions for ya's.
before i start ill just say i dont want massive hp just something cool and go half decent
heres what it has on it:
-factory 3rz engine/internals
-garrett gt2860 with 2 1/2'' exhaust

if i was to run the turbo on the ...

ok,so your saying that it should have the basic maps for offroad tracks at glasshouse which is awesome,but can i still mark way points on a certain track and name the track/hill etc. as there is tracks out there that are already named (widowmaker,big red etc.) and if there is a track that i like for ...

pigletracing that is the sorta thing im after so i will have to look into it.
is it possible to get maps of just the forestry to the hn5i aswell (eg.glasshouse mtns forestry) and so on.

cheers..smiley..

i used to have efs comfort ride springs in the front of my hilux and it was brilliantly comfortable..pricey but definately worth the money.i now run a rear up front setup in my ute and the comfort is much the same.

cheers..smiley..

tomzilla juast a question about the gamin nuvi,are you able to mark waypoints on your gps as i dont want to go around the country i more just like exploring the forestry (mainly glasshouse mtns) and when i find a good hill i would like to mark a point and possibly saying briefly (hard, rocky track ...

hey all looking at buying a gps for 4wding i got around $800 mark and ill show you what im after.now i dont know alot about gps's but there is basic points in here aswell just puttin them in anyway.
-on road navigation
-mark a waypoint/dot point in the bush that i can return too if needed
-name the ...

one more photo mounted to the car.

mine is a tjm non winch bar and i modified it to fit my winch and it works great have winched up decent hills and the bar doesnt move.ill put up photos.
its braced with 12mm steel where the winch bolts to and welded 50mmx6mm angle onto the main bullbar support and also has one welded onto the inside ...

So it can be engineered using factory arms.
BUT the dot won't pass it is that correct?
So all in all I can still get defected for it?
its not a daily but driven from to the tracks and home pretty much every weekend


Cheers..smiley..

what class would i be in if i have a hilux with a turbo diesel 33's rear locker and leaf springs?
also does it cost anything to enter and is there a decent amount of variety track wise? i.e easier tracks to hard tracks.
fairly interested in entering my car but it will be my first event so a little ...

Hey all just wondering if I can get a 4 link rear end in my hilux engineered to be legal and driven on rd in help is appreciated

hey benolux your only running 2.4d aye.

i got a 2.8 turbo in mine and do u think the extra power would make it easier to break the track assasin's?

cheers..smiley..

Thanks for the help guys I had a look on that locktup 4x4 website and they do pretty good deals.
Superior engineering want $1200 for a set of longs and locktup can do them for 800.

pretty stoked with that I will definitely buying a set through them and like mr dj said do it properly once and forget ...

Hi all I have a hilux ln106 2.8turbo and have 33's fitted and I am now on my 3rd cv I have broken.
I am upgrading to 35's as soon as I get some cash and I know the cv's won't like them.

My question is I can get 1 pair of chromoly cv's with std axles (27sp) for $750
Or I can get chromo cv's AND ...

Sorry for the hi jack thread but If u don't mind me asking mate why do you run a dyna box in your lux is there any difference and how hard is it to fit?

Cheers..smiley..

no there is no play at all with the cv even giving it a tap with a rubber mallet.it is assembled to the stub axle and everything is tight.even when turning the swivel hub the cv knocks on both sides.
still trying research but i cant find anything.

hey all i have been rebuilding my front diff in my hilux and i put a locker in the rear and was going to use my lsd in the front but everything is binding up when i have put it in.
any ideas on what the problem is because i was told that u can put the rear diff in the front and so on.

i have done ...

howya goin,

been doing some research in heat treating cv's and axles but it is a bit of a grey area.

i want to run 35's on my hilux but dont want to break cv's every trip out the bush.i have seen 35's on hiluxs so they must be able to stand up to the task as long as your not pushing them to hard ...

how ya goin,

just doing a few modifications to my hilux ute got longer springs in the rear and 200mm eye to eye shackles and wondering if someone can point me in the right direction where to get 14'' travel eye-eye bilstein shocks.i know i have to make a shock crossmember and all the other gear ...
