Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I'm looking at buying a sahara, but I want to lift it 2", they have auto leveling suspension and whatever, can I suspension lift it without taking out all the air suspension shit.

where do you buy these from? make the adaptor yourselfH 7.8hp motors are not free. from my understanding 7.8's are no good piggy backed as they destroy themselves. The 24v 7.8 Superduty motors would quite easily be the best 24v motor for winch comps. And as Wazza made the first adpater for these ...

Yeah ill be putting coils in or coil overs

NICK

what u mean by out board? Mount the coil on the outside of the chassis rail?

Ive building (not myself) a hilux atm for winch challenge. I have a dual cab, 5 litre injected V8, king coilovers all round, gq diffs, 37" treps etc etc. It will cost you way more than you think it will. But will be good when finished, to many gqs around :D what are coil overs worth approx? Fair ...

Ls1 have more power and more reliable than Lexus v8?

How could I couple the ls1 auto to a transfer? And what transfer would be best suited?

love your work Nick, Thats awesome. ShortyIQ brilliant actually haha. blackarrowwilly, im not running tough truck, im running local winch comps and offroad challenges. yes i agree to a point that money plays a very big role, although, reliability, capability, driver and navi ability and some times ...

can be rego'd but never driven on the road, there are a million trucks out there doing the same, or i'll get island rego. We wont start this argument again about regos so anyway. Dont want to go GQ, to big, too heavy, yes they are tried and tested and proven but i'm not racing for sheep stations ...

This has probably been bought up a million times. I want to buy or build a winch truck. seeing there is not really much up for sale other than that white single cab lux with coilovers, i'm looking at what i can knock together. im not going to spend a million dollars, i want to get out there with the ...

have a 90 model 80 series, it has a fridge centre console that is not connected. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the wiring setup, there are 3 wires that run into a plug and need to be run somewhere, and thats what i need to know, i assume there will be an earth, a 12v+ and maybe a ...

I have an extra cab and i think it has a cut down rear end too which leaves me f@#% all room on the tray, i may aswell have a dual cab. Just not enough room to put dickie seats in, prob like 400mm from back of drivers seat to rear wall, good for keeping shit out of the weather but. plenty of room ...

hey all, Im sorting out the correct wires to connect up to my sub tank gauge sender, ( the 2 wires that come out of the sub tank). From what i can work out one wire is yellow with silver dots but cant find the other wire, i think it comes out of the sub tank gauge as a grey/brown colour but i cant ...

hi,

My 80 series has sprung a leak behind one of the unused brackets near the top of the main tank, only leaks when its full and when 4wdriving. If i can find a 100% success of fixing it i will if not i'll pull it out.

any ideas?

cheers.

im chasing LED driving lights, i think they are made by vision x, and i think it was the claytons hilux at arb winch comp that was running them. i want to run them on my truck. any info would be good.

Cheers.

I had 6 inch coils and 2 inch body and no sway bars, but i have full airbags in the ass of an extra cab 80, would pick up the inside wheel when going around round abouts and corners, have to watch ya speed around corners too, took the 6 inch coils out yesterday and put 2 inch in and body roll is ...

how do they go with being engineered and meeting QLD vehicle standards?

I'd love a set but i have enough trouble with cops AN TI's as it is

Was competeing in CQ challenge the other week i watched one of the trucks, Gq diesel gas research truck had a massive blow off valve. How is it so as a diesel doesnt run a butterfly and therfore no vacuum? well i'm just assuming it didnt have a butterfly as its a diesel but didnt get to have a look ...

I visited the transport inspectors ( TI's ) on monday, they greeted me by saying, Are you looking for the scrap yard because its down the road". Turns out, they dont know shit, they think that because i work in queensland sometimes, that my truck must be registered in qld, regardless of me having a ...

hopefully i have a break through, I have been given a name and number of an engineer within qld transports modification deparment and apperently he is a very decent bloke and very helpful. so i will call him first thing in the morning before i visit the idiots at qld transport in gladstone.

i'm not going to get into an arguement, i'm just after the written law instead of going on hear say, or just because the cop thinks he can. after that i'll get legal advice.

Cheers!

looks like i've stirred up a hornets nest. but its good, I need all the help i can get, more so in the form of hard evidence of legislation, thankyou for the input. The truck was delivered to me a week ago, i finish work in qld in a week and i'm returning to NSW which is my permanent address. I have ...

I just bought that blue 80 series extra with the airbags in the ass from victoria ( issue 110 of 4x4 monthly)., its is still registered in victoria and i will be transferring it to NSW rego which it will fully comply with The whole vehicle from dual snorkles to 35" tyres has been approved by an ...

i just bought an 80 series ute with 16inch bags in the ass, it turns up next week, i'll let you know how they go and get some pics

I want to part time my 80 extra cab. I'm going to put genuine manual locking hubs up front just need the rest of the gear. I haven't had anything to do with the kits before so i dont know who has the best gear. A heads up would be great.

cheers.

Does anyone know who owns this? http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g119/iamcrazie/CT-11.jpg I'm told its from childers (QLD) I want one, just dont have the time to build one before the cape trip next year. If anyone knows of a single or dual cab 80 for sale can you please give me the heads up. Cheers ...

i've got some 35 bfg's on american racing alloys and want to put them on my island rig, they were on an 80 series and i want to put them on a 60 series, are pcd's etc the same so they'll slide on?

cheers!!

hey, i bought a 60 for an island bashing rig, saggy springs, so going to spoa, should i put the rear springs up front or just turn them around while i'm going???

any help would be great.

cheers.
