Outer Limits 4x4 Board

diesel GQ it is then, haha.
I'd almost talked myself into a series 1 discovery too.

Ive been seriously considering a pajero, actually. In the past ive never really been a fan of anything mitsubishi, but have heard pajero's are quite capable. Them and series 1 discoveries seem to be very well priced for what they are, I guess thats because everyone wants a patrol or cruiser. IFS is ...

Ok Guys,

I've decided my next 4wd is going to be on the cheap. I have come to the conclusion that having $40k odd tied up in a vehicle really limits
how far i'm willing to push it, steadily declining my outings to the point where i haven't been bush for well over 12 months now. But a recent ...

It's a petrol, and i have checked fluid levels, seem fine. Engages drive and reverse, i drove it about 20mtrs, but can't get it to slip. that's not saying that it won't slip at higher speed/gears.

5500 for a rebuild, jebus!!!
Is that just factory specs or tricked up a bit?
Might just go the 2nd hand route i guess.
What lets go in them? I'm not really up to speed on auto's
The temp light comes on, but the oil on the dipstick is cold as.

Ok well i have been looking at an 80 series that i have found through a friend of a friend.
A little old lady owns it and it has been sitting for over 12mths because 'something' is wrong with it.
I threw a battery in it this arvo and it started first crank, but i couldn't take it for a drive ...

What he said...

POR15 mate.
haven't used it myself but i've heard it's the shiz. That's what i'd be using if i could be bothered

all i am looking for is advise and as much info as possilbe.

But i have made my mind up on a tough dog kit!!!!


But yes my next question would be what brand of tyres?
Currently looking at the mickey thompson ATZ-4 rib....

Yep, they'll do.

Yeah that's the go for sure. Cheaper to buy, cheaper to set up, bigger payload and cheaper on fuel.

If you are handy with a welder you can set it up exactly how you want it, and Parks like LCMP etc shouldn't charge you for 2 entry fee's if you camp for the weekend.

All for it!!!

Landcruiser section

and


Hilux, Rav 4, Kluger section

Seriously though, is it even do-able?
Who goes through all the old threads and splits them?

Just wondering where i could get Dawn Dies from in QLD?
Googled it but all i found was a story about a woman called Dawn Bender, that died.

Trade tools maybe??

WTF!!!

I thought there was too, but did a search, and had a scroll but couldn't find it. Got a linky?

Are you legally allowed to weld barwork to your chassis, for example sliders and tube tray (QLD).
I was of the belief that anything attached to a chassis has to be bolted, but this is coming from a truck body building background.
Yet i see lots of trucks with the exo/tray/rear bar/sliders welded ...

It says it right there on the left... Aus

I used to build tipper trailers for a living, and used to get solenoids, manifolds, airbags, airline, everything you need from Shephard Transport. Can't remember their number but just Google it. Speak to Steve or Luke and they'll point you in the right direction (if they still work there)

Maybe he's just gonna do a 'STEERING' wheel alignment

...pull it off and turn it around.

Vitara cab!!!!

AAahhhh but that's the problem. The ute is sitting in a shed 150Klms away.

Ok i'm gonna do a 2" body lift to my ute on Sunday, and i was hoping someone out there knows the bolt lengths i will need? I know someone will say pull them out and measure them, but A) there will be nowhere open in my area to get bolts from on a Sunday, and B) I don't want to pay for them so i'll ...

Correct me if i'm wrong, but dont fuel cells have to comply with a list of standards for road use and a seperate additional list if used in a motorsport application??

I'm not trying to be a smart arse here, but essentially everything we build for our trucks has to comply with a list of standards ...

Go for it, Slammer. What have you got to lose. all it's going to cost you is a bit of materials (just find them at work ) and some time. If you don't try it you'll never learn. Get one of the tradies to check it over after you're done and you'll be fine.

Had the 33's on my Feroza for 12 Mths, and loved them. Since sold the vehicle but they were excellent wearing.

Not the best in soft sand due to the width of them and the gutless 1.6 engine that was pushing them, and perhaps a bit too aggressive as if you stomped it they tend to dig holes.

Loved ...

How much modification to fit it?

Me too

Got home last night and as i pulled up water and steam started gushing out of a small hole in my radiator in my 75 Ute.

Have priced up a few today, and $375 is the cheapest i could find, brand new.

Is this the best i'm able to do? Is it worth forking out a bit more for an alloy radiator or should ...

Sorted thanks
