Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hahaha....can't wait to experience it all again....with a Landy this time

Got a few LR 110's that i'm keeping an eye on in Carsales....just got to sell my bloody jeep first.

Well i finally got to take a Defender TD5 for a test drive yesterday and i must say that i was rather impressed by the way it drivers. Although i can see myself doing the chip, exhausts & intercooler mod VERY soon after purchase.

Is it possible to move the driver seat any further back? The english ...

Thanks Gordon

I'll give him a call as soon as i sell my Jeep....which by the looks of things may by a while yet

Fancy seeing you in here

I'm having similar non jeep thoughts

Saxon

Hahahaha....lol Saxon

Must be a jeep thing mate

Where can i get all these part from? Are there any Land Rover shops in Australia that deal with modifications of will i have to import everything from the UK?

I'm getting all excited now

Just need to sell my jeep :( AND be able to find a 2000 TD5 Defender in my state.

kewl....if it's close to 33's from stock then i'm happy with that I won't go anything over 33x10.5 anyway so i don't think i will bother much about getting another set of rims.

Thanks for your responces guys.

So i should be looking at a 2000 model and up right? What is the major difference between the 2000 model and previous ones?

How much can i expect to pay for a chip upgrade and intercooler? Is there a package that you can buy at all?

With 150kw and 400nm i will be ...

Hi Guys....

As some of you may have noticed, i am selling my modified Wrangler and am thinking of getting a 1997 onwards Land Rover Defender 110.

What made me decide to get this vehicle is that it's so capable straight from factory. One cencern that i DO have is the lack of power for such a large ...

One word for ya that will beat BOTH of those applications

STROKER

Will go as fast as a turbo, have the torque of a V8 and the fuel consumption of a V6 (about 12l/100km)

sorry....i was just sharing a model i thought would work :-( Only trying to help out. I'll go back to my cave now.

That is why i said suspension and body lift together. I assumed that the installation of a body lift/suspension was for the purpose of installing larger tyres.

In regards to your reply DeWsE, body modifications like on Shane's Jeep would have to be scrutinised seperatly as i would really classify ...

Agree with you about the ratios just back to stock no advantage but realisticly how can you penilise people for ratios when you cant see exactly what been changed

Exactly :)

And in my model, you will realise that i have left out any scoring system for ratios for exactly that reason.

EDIT: I ...

Good idea gordon. I just modified my previous post to reflect your idea :)

Duncan: I agree with gordon. Unless you got really over the top diff ratio modifications it aint gonna make sweet f*** all difference unless you decide to stay with smaller tyres. But even then, it won't be as easy for ...

kris great idea but you for got the dif and tran ratios as a mod but that can be modified to suit

I don't think these modifications impact the ability of a 4WD as much as the items listed. I mean....i've got 4.56 ratios and 35" tyres on my jeep. And there is little difference between that and ...

I've actually come up with a system that i think works very well. I've sent this onto Alan but i got no reply from him or any thoughts that he may have. Anyway...it hought i'd share it with you guys

This model works on the fact that there are 3 main deciding factors of a vehicle’s off-road ...

Yeah....at a cost of $8000 JUST for the front to be chopped. Lucky he did the rear by himself with Shane.

it's good that you got the 15x8 but what backspacing did you order them in?

the cheapesst way to fit 32's on a stock jeep is to get a Body Lift done. But in my opinion you would be better off getting a 2" OME kit as at least that way you can fit 32" tyres and also have increased articulation.

The Uniden UHF-012 only costs $256 delivered

Uniden UH-012. Nice and cheap and does the job just great.

Spend the money you saved on a better antenna

Like i said in your BBQ thread, i wish i could but it's my g/f's birthday and also my sister is over here for a few days (flew over from Canberra)

Do you know where it is DeWsE?

Does anyone know the directions to this track in Toodyay? I am going to be heading out that way next weekend for some new track exploration and i would LOVE to see the track that is going to be used for the Night Owl event.

Cheers

Kris

DAMN....would have loved to come and lend a hand but it's Serina's b/day that weekend and my sister will be down from Canberra too.

Next time i'm in for sure.

On a side note, does anyone know when the Night Owl Challenge 04 DVD will be released? It's been nearly 12 months now :(

You won't get hassled THAT much. All you will need is some flares and maybe some doors and she'll be right

Hi Bevan....about time you got a Jeep :) I know you are jumping up and down with happines :D

You will find it REALLY hard to get a 2000 TJ for $20,000. You will need to put an extra $2k in there to be honest.

Either way....good luck with the hunt.

You CAN buy a good 2000 TJ for 20K

I helped a ...

How much to build a knuckle over conversion for my jeep?

That was awesome

Nice camera work

How long will the DVD be in minutes? hopefully at leat 90min

and stock ratios?

I don't think you will have a problem. There is a guy here in Perth that has a 3" lift and 33" tyres.

He went over the pits without doing a lane change test and they passed him.

They didn't even take the car for a drive.

But is this lift noted on the mod forms?? I doubt it, therfore if he has ...
