Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Waeco has the trip out, Engel will run you fridge till the battery is dead flat its all actually to do with the motors they run, the Waeco has to run a trip due to the danfros compressor (motor), if it doesnt it will eventually burn the motor out due to low voltage, Where as the Engel runs a swing ...

just at a guess, head or headgasket or perhaps small crack in bore, it was probably on the way out before you cooked it, it just gets worse as either the crack or gasket age, which has lead to the overheating due to the use of more water, and as for the starter when you went down the street and no ...

I have decided on the disco potatoe as i have used one of these on a GQ and it worked a treat it comes on boost froom almost idle and is full boost around 1600 rpm.. Also has heaps up top as wel. With the pump tricked up i was getting around 165kws at the rears with 35" tyres on the troll with this ...

The Exedy, is certainly worth a look, ive got one in my 79 the HD (heavy duty) version, most 4x4 outlets stock them, the full kitt HD was around $640 from memory

What year and model??? quite often if you use either the green pink or red coolants this is exactlly what happens as there not always compatible, we found green coolant in our hdt fte completely flushed the system 5/6 times added the pink coolant and after a couple of weeks turned a brown color, it ...

i say just get the beaudesert 3 inch system Ditto. Will do everything you want including keep the turbo whistle without the drone. Don't waste your time with press bends or 2.5" system, just go the 3" mandrel bent system and do the job once. X3 put the beaudesert on the 79 (3 inch mandrell and dump ...

Yeah wev'e had heaps of rain, and heading up to the Alpine national
for the weekend,(should be fun) ill try and get some pics up,
just finished my Zook so if it fitts in my back pocket ill take it as well,
sorry for getting of topic,

im gunna miss Buttfest, and he's insight into the real world,
sh@#$#t did i say real, wouldnt that mean it would have actually
had to have happened??????

But then if want class there is no competition 79 Series RV 1HDFTE. There are trol utes everywhere modified for 4wding because they are cheaper not better. Both have their purposes, trol probably cheaper to service too but 79 will resale much better & us 79 Series owners would never go back to the ...

Yep agree on the Patrol, but whats that saying???
you only get what you pay for!! lol
save up for a 79 it will pay for itself in the long run

Maybee thats why there running specials at the moment, to get rid of all the old stock??,
i wanted to buy some for my 79 series not sure now if i should wait

Just in the prossess of fitting a new clutch kitt to my HDJ 79 2003 landcruiser tray ute (RV Turbo), i bought the Exeedy HD clutch kitt and decided to fitt it today, we finally got it in but the motor wouldnt turn over and it seems the pressure plate may be just lightly fowling on the bellhousing, i ...

Yeah Towies right, i put the Safari snorkel hat on over the old origanal round std hat, OK so far as mentioned i put the Beaudesert 3 inch with cast iron dump pipe, The Dtronic 78 full plug in chip, The Safari snorkel hat, decided to leave the rest of the air filter system origanal, Pedders 41mm ...

Thanks for that, seems like new would be they way to go at that price, by the time you got those second hand ones sent and then got them fitted and providing everthing else was ok, i doubt if you would have saved much at all

How much is a full set (front & rear) lockers fitted normally worth if you were to buy them new???

Noticed a set of front and rear ARB lockers complete centres and all acessories for set up went for around $2200 which sounds like a good buy

yeah i agree, I had hzj75 97 model and it was very average in the brakeing department, now have a hzj79 and a huge improvment, dont know if they will fitt, and the stud pattern is differant

Yep all true, got mine a couple of weeks ago (Tigerz11) all good, great service Paul the manager, and very happy with the added options and the fitt up, also the price, but mainly the weight differance with the rope was a big influence

Yes icrawl is also right, test it with the 240 adaptor, if the fridge runs perfectly which i expect it will, this ussually means a lack off current when under the 12v conditions and is likely whats effecting the unit, But how long can you struggle under these conditions never really knowing weather ...

thnks fellas.it will be awhile b4 i buy one,but was wondering if i should just safe for the turbod factory as there quiet bit dearer Hi all...Thats the smartest thing you could do,Is to save up and buy a factory turbo'd engined cruiser.I learnt thru experience. X2, I had the the HZJ75 ute turboed ...

Hi had the Waeco, geez i hated that thing, the only thing it was good for was teaching me how much i now appreciate my two Engels, They run a differant compressor than the engel it should be a danfros motor, where as the engel runs the swing motor, one of the reasons they say there better than the ...

So basically when the winch is new (unused) with the rope spooled on, you have to respool it again before you use it??, and the black heat shrink near the hook should be threaded down the rope and put on the first run of rope clsest to the drumm and when respooling it should be done under load, and ...

Gee thats pretty good, as i dont do a hard standing start, i do a rolling idle start as i hate punishing the clutch (so i guess you might just edge me out), although i just orded a HD exedy clutch kitt which should be here this week,
CR#$%%P there goes me beer for the weekend!!!!!!!!!!!

i have a dp chip on my v8 and was expecting some huge improvement... didnt notice much. HOWEVER, it is so much smoother in power delivery now and it is more powerful as you accelerate. i just dont think it gave me a $1500 improvement but it is there. youll feel it eventually Yep i gotta agree, for ...

OK, the chip rolled up Friday so i installed it today, i ended up going for the Dtronic 79, easy installation aprox 15 mins, to be honest didnt really notice a real differance, maybee im expecting to much, there only seems to be a little more mid range hit, has anyone else tried this chip???

Thanks Thrashlux and Ferret, this is why this site is so informative, one thing i do know is HP ussually comes at a cost so it pays to do your homework, and im a little new to the diesel performance and the last thing i want to do is trash a perfectly good engine, i think it may pay to steer away ...

Ive also got the Safari air scoop comming as well,Josh where did you get your K&N filter (do they still filter the dirt well) pretty dusty down here, also what are they worth??

We are currently building up a 2003 79 series RV tray ute, as mentioned in an earlier post i was a little dissapointed with the power compared to my 100 series (factory origanal unmodified) turbo, i have just installed a full Beaudesert 3 inch exhaust with the custom castiron dump pipe, So i thought ...
