Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Entries are open now for the 2013 Cooper Tires Pajero Challenge. For further details : http://www.pajeroclub.com.au/home/challenge/2011index.html We're also introducing the "Challenge Light" category for those of you that aren't sure about navigating and driving for 24 hours. This is a good ...

Is it simply that there is transmission windup so will not unlock - have you tried moving the control to the unlock position and driving backwards a little way to "unwind" the transmission. Garry Hi Garry, transmission wind up is not the problem. I went into limp home mode by removing the front ...

OK - I will assume that the LandRover CDL is OK, but if the AMV CDL motor still runs; will mud/dirt cause the AMV to fail at the link onto the LandRover CDL bolt?

By the way; once I remove the AMV CDL, which way is it to disengage (clockwise or anti-clockwise)?

thanks.

Hi there, I have the AMV CDL in my 2001 Disco2 V8. The Centre Diff Lock has remained locked after a quick jaunt in low range. I bypassed the CDL switch and I can hear the AMV motor running. Obviously there is power to the AMV CDL unit. Before I start ripping out the centre console it would be good ...

Looking good. That back panel looks like the same as the one built for my GU.

Here you go...

Hello Jane, I just managed to set up two fx324's as master and slave. The manual is as clear as the Cliffhanger mud. You'll need a null modem cable to link the serial ports from each fx324. The fx324 comes with female db9 connectors and Null modems also comes comes with female db9 connectors, so you ...

Yep, half the challenge is getting there. Are you taking your GU to the campsite? I might need spares...

Within 1 - 2 hours from Melbourne. The location remains secret until after the closing date of entries.

That's great info. Thanks for that. $15k isn't too bad when shared between two.

How many weeks/months did you allow for freight ?

Just out of interest...what would be a reasonable budget one would plan for to compete in the RFC. I can't afford it in 2008 or 2009, but who knows after that.. Entry fee : USD$2,000 Return flight : AUS$1700 per person Vehicle freight & return : ???? Fuel : ???? Other costs : ???? From the RFC ...

Thanks for a great day Rudes & Hobzee. Sorry we left early this morning and we didn't stay to get the results. We had a great time and I enjoyed the steep tracks. The turbo did get hot on some of the hills and I even go to stretch the winch rope for a couple of characters we found stuck on a river ...

the only place an auto will let you down is going down hill as there is little or no engine braking.......everywhere else it wins hands down. Never had any problems going down hill with an auto....left foot on the brake and drive through the brakes. We teach this in our basic course, so I don't ...

Hi Joe, you're probably like me just wishing that work isn't so busy. I would rather be competing or marshalling this week. Go HOON....

More action shots sent by Stu and an update. Poolamacca yesterday Sth Africans in the g-wagen blew their second clutch on sunday night (2 in one day) Anthony Kilner did his clutch, and is back in town replacing it. Nundooka today : Ian Paltridge in the supercharged 6.0 v8 gu patrol hit a rock in the ...

That's the week of the Outback Challenge. Did you mean to write June 20,21,22

You'll need to hook up to your sound system as well. The easiest way is to connect your dvd player or ps2 to an FM transmitter and send the signal to your radio. Otherwise, change your radio unit and buy one with RCA input.

Got a loan car. And its redish in colour. Zoom Zoom

Thanks Alberto.

Its yours for the weekend. Just fuel it up and go...

Do you need drivers/comp cars for the practical day?

Last time I seen it. It had no front or motor. Only thing left in front of the A pillar was abit of chassi and a front diff. So I think you better get the whip cracking.

All the paj needs is the lights to be fitted and the 2nd GPS velcro'd to the dash.

And new tyres

Jonno must know something but no doubt is sworn to secrecy.

Matt,

Maybe you should do the paintwork after the event.
It would be a shame bending a newly painted panel.

What colour will it be? you know that Green is the new black.

I emailed them 6 months ago and at the time I had the money to buy. They weren't interested in developing one for the Patrol. I even had a friend of a friend visit them. They seemed friendly enough, but was still not interested in developing a unit for the GU. It's a modified mile marker 12000lb ...

This topic is really interesting and affects me greatly if I submit the entry form. I did the VicWinch 2 years ago and although we did just OK on Friday night and Saturday, we were plagued with winch problems all of Sunday and DNF the final stages. Then I entered last year and the dizzy decided to ...
