Outer Limits 4x4 Board

had this on my 75ser ute. Ended up being a very badly warn tie rod end.
didn't seem like much play, but on the road it dam well near caused an accident. check all ties rod ends and ball joints etc.

Or it won't be far off it.
he's right, you could spend 2 grand, then have to spend another down the track as things go wrong.

Friend of mine runs 33 bighorns on his bundera. they work great and are good on road, off road, mud and sand. 4wd action also gave them a rave review ahead of other products at twice the price. I run buckshots and i'm very pleased with those but they are not as aggresive as bighorns. They suit me as ...

60 series now theres a car, i want to get one of those next, had one loved it, want another. they are getting cheep now, but check out 4wd action back issue's for some good buying tips.
Old mate wanted a ute though.
patrols may not be in the 2000 grand market?

Doesn't look to bad but old. Another one to consider, imo, is the rodeo. Mines is actually up for sale with a few steal extra's. But it's been great, The ifs is a little bit of a downer due to strength over the solid axle luxes, but mines been brilliant and it's not let me down. It also has decent ...

I did a ball joint flip on my tf/89 rodeo. did not have to do such a thing.
just jack it right up, the top arm stops on the bump stop, so your right to drop the bottom arm down further letting you change your joint. pretty damn easy.

i think you meant to say they 12v or memory wire (yellow wire).
if that loses power at start, it forgets it's memory.
the red (acc wire) loses power as it's the switched wire when you turn your car off. it'll always, no matter what car, switch off at start.

if the acc and the memory wire are right, then as the other guys have said...battery is on the fritz. check the terminals on the battery too, if they are coroded, that'll be no good.

check the uni joints for any movement etc. Mine where fine on a recent trip to bundy. got 15mins from destination started a vibration/rumbling.
did all the the way home. 1 centre uni.

for 6wd setups, the army utes are 6x6. check them out, see how their setup.

ACA elec dissy and Msd blaster 3 coil. good settup. get from autobarn.
I run it in my XB with 351. just drop it in and your away.
i think 200 ish plus 100 for the coil.

msd are even better, but your paying for the perormance and name.

just a quicky.
I went out today and used my stauns. dropped them down to 18psi.
checked them all, were within 1 psi.
when i pumped back at the servo one the way home. all were 18psi.

The other guy who was with me had an arb deflater. we had our tyres down in the same time.

well. on sat at work i fitted mine up. took 15min's. Then one my customers came in who runs both and gave me a radio check and it's all sweet. But i have done a couple more radio checks and have actually gotten responses. I also dug up on the net the list f channels for use. trucks, emergency etc. I ...

as far as i am aware the nitrous jets are interchangable.

i've gotten stauns through work, and they work well. but i have only kept them at 18psi. Have you contacted staun for advice on using them, last time i heard they didn't reckomend deflating below 18psi. which is were the comment of mechanical variance comes into it. we're happy as larry with ours ...

any locked diff is illegal, but depending what the car looks like, you probably have other things which are illegal too. Your handling will go to crap, sure going through mud, some hill climbs it will go gang busters, but if you need to turn in a hurry or tight turn, you can't. Tyre wear is also a ...

could be a good option as an emergancy.

the invertor should have a fuse in it. use the same size. Mine (350watt) has a 30 amp at the battery. I do know invertors suffer from voltage loss on the cable. the further away from the battery the invertor is, the bigger the cable. again start at the same size cable as what came with it (aligator ...

I did have the thought of people going back to them, but you don't know who's got one, cause you wouldn't be scanning the 27mz anyway.

Just after an opinion. I have an am set which came with the car, but have put a uhf in. Still got the am set, and it'll cost me next to nothing to put it in and functional. I know a couple guys that go out pigging out west use them. Besides having private comunications with someone else who has one ...

HI all On our trip up noosa north shore last time, i noticed a place there will spray the under body of your rig with oil for $2. My rodeo is no beauty queen and at 20 years of age, has decent rust in places anyway... Would this still benafit the older cars as it would the newer ones as well? What ...

Hi all.
My gear box is getting worse with bearings going, seals going, and i think genoral old age.
Its an 89 4wd, what year does the gearbox go up to?
2.6l 4 cyl.
Does a later model box fit as well?
Does anyone have one laying around?
Cheers for help

would the boxes be differant on the bellhousings though?
clutches i would suspect be differant.

Not if this ones been approached before...but heres a go ;) The engine in the rodeo may be on the outer. if it's a better idea going the diesel engine route, be it turbo or non turbo diesel, how hard and what things are needed to put the diesel in an already petrol car? is it as simple as grabbing a ...
