Outer Limits 4x4 Board

In either case a good couple of thousand of the buy price should be put aside for a major checkover and possible repairs if necessary as most GQ/80's these days require things like swivelhub rebuilds, diff seals, clutches, full drivetrain service etc... Good advice! I'd buy an 80 and spend some ...

Don't worry I managed to leave

Met up with some mates in Mt Tamborine. Great 4WD around here.

Do I need a permit for the dunes down in Newcastle?

We start with a trip from Woodenbong to Mallanganee through the Toonumbar NP and Richmond Range NP.

When you say good tracks do you mean touring or hardcore. A little bit of both. Not to extrem, my 60s is more or less standard. But was good enough for the old telegraph a couple of weeks ago :lol: I just don't like to travel on the main highway. Want to see nice things and have some fun 4WD tracks ...

Ok that's the same way I'm doing it. I had the hope you had a program which makes live easier

btt: The dunes at stockton are on the list. Do I need a second car? Or is it easy like Fraiser Island

@WRXZook what kind of program are you using to draw the lines in the map? looks cool

After I got so many help and good ideas out of this forum, I bet you also could give me some nice hints for the trip from Brisbane to Sydney. I'd like to spend about a week between the cities. Where are some good 4WD-tracks? Wouldn't mind to leave the coast. Just some interesting Australia-insider ...

Thank you for all the information. We decided to drive from Townsville inland and that was a good idea. First we went to Lake Dalrymple and the Burdekin Dam Falls. That's a cool spot for camping, fishing and the sunset. The dam falls are pretty interesting. Have never seen something that big before ...

Till now I had an amazing time in Australia. Started in Brisbane I travelled through Victoria'S High Country, Great Ocean Road, Oodnadatta Track, part of the Simpson desert, Savannah Way and Cape York (OTT) - just to name a few :lol: I'm on the east coast and looking for new adventures. But the way ...

Have an appointment with Knight Breaks tmr. Hope it will be not too expensive...

Just had a quick look. Mackay is about 700km away. As I'm driving already a couple of days without rear breaks, I think I don't want to risk more. But thank you! Would it be an option to buy the parts and if nobody can help me, go with the parts to a mechanic? Would that be cheaper? Or would he kick ...

As I come from the Cape I'll head south.

One cylinder is leaking, so I would change both. And the breaks. The drums have to stay. Had them adjusted/cleaned a couple of weeks ago and the mechanic said they are fine.

Hope there is someone in Cairns who could help me?

Hey guys, I'm a German traveller in a Landcruiser HJ60. My rear breaks are just shit and not working anymore. The Old Telegraph Track was a little bit to much for them :-) I need new break shoes and one new break cylinder in my rear breaks. Anyone in Cairns (or around) who can change them for me ...

Help

Unfortunately Neil has no time this weekend. He'll ask some mates, if they could help out.
For the case that he'll find nobody is there anyone else who could give me a hand?
Cheers

Different question: I need to fly home for 3 weeks and need to park my car somewhere in Cairns. Of course I don't want to pay too much money. Is there any safe and free/cheap spot in Cairns to do that?

I'll be in Cairns in about 4-5 days.

Update: I didn't like to be stuck here and went to another mechanic outside the city. With all the knowledge I had (because of you), I explained the problem and what I want to be done. They repaired the Diff. he pinion bearing was spinning in the housing and they also showed me all the parts. Some ...

I'm in Katherine. Sorry trains, I'm not really able to describe the movement. But 2-3mm could be it. I could I was able to turn it about one third turn. The noise I hear now hasn't been there before. With my last travel mate we often drove without radio and I never heard it on the way to Darwin. It ...

I'm driving with music on the last 1.000km :armsup: So I never heard any noise. Now I listened for 60km and when I accelerate or when I move from the accelerator I hear sometimes a metalic noise which hasen't been there before. All nuts have been ok, so none has come loosen. I tightened up the ...

I just bought a 32mm socket and will try to retighten everything myself. I'm in Katherine and it pretty boaring here. Hope the diff will last to Cairns and than I'll get a new center. But I'm to afraid to change that one myself. Maybe there is someone who can give me a helping hand. I like to learn ...

The mechanic told me today, that my diff is dead. Have to believe him. He said a used diff is $1.000 but of course no guarantee that this will work long :roll: A new one should be around $4.000. For labour, seals,... he'll take around $700. Is this again one of this "we rip off a German" or are ...

Fu**! I just hope they have a seal here in Katherine and can replace it tomorrow. When it last the next 15.000k's I would be happy. How much is a new diff? Is there any sence in buying a used one?

I just did the Kakadu NP and now I'm in Katherine. A few minutes ago I realised that the rear diff is leaking again! I have done around 10.000km since we replaced the seal.

I'll check the breather tomorrow morning. Can the seal be broken after that short time?

Hi. I crossed today Cahills Crossing in the Kakadu Park. I did a lot of water crossings before but always with water only to the side steps. This time it was a little higher (but I have a snorkel). In the middle of the river some warning lights flashed up. The batterie light, the orange light next ...

Is there nobody with a welder in Darwin? It's not only for the money, I also like to meet some real Australians

btw: Is there any 4WD track open around Darwin?

Hi guys,
I'm a traveller from Germany and enoying your beautiful country. Unfortunately the corrugation on the dirt roads have destroyed my spare wheel holder. There is some welding neeed to fix it. Anybody in Dawrin who could help me out? I would spring some beers
Cheers

Hey Timm, You're certainly getting around mate.. hows the 60 going? have you managed to find 2nd gear yet or is it still not working? :P Cheers, Andrew 2nd gear is working most of the times :lol: Have done 10.000km since I left you. Two flat tires (have two new ones now), one brake capiler was ...
