Outer Limits 4x4 Board

yeah its on the gearbox, is its a sierra i know on mine the wire leads up into the engine bay and comes into 3 plugs just near the dizzy and coil

Cr-Mo failing under compression is 51.6kN (any length)
under buckling 966kN (200mm long) buckling will occur at any more than 670mm

using E=210GPa
sigma=410Mpa

for tube size given

^ means to the power of.
If you set the calculator in windows to scientific mode you can have x^y
the reason for the constant at the start accounts for all the non SI units.

Tell me the steel you are going to use and I should be able to find out the elastic limit and get another equation for it

oops forgot to mention, set a=1 degree if you want T as kNm/degree

T=27.416 x10^-9 (a x d^4 x G)/L T is torsion in kNm a is angle of twist in degrees d is diameter of shaft in mm G is shear modulus of the material in GPa (steel is typically around 80GPa) L is length of bar in metres note the units a quick example a= 5 degrees d= 32 mm G= 80 GPa L=1.5m T= 27.416*10 ...

Garmins will run Shonkymaps which are are lower quality hema map pretty much http://shonkylogic.net/shonkymaps/ never used them or really looked though Also OZTopo - more like hema maps http://www.oztopo.com/ any of the Garmin Nuvi series would suit, depends what features you want on road, check out ...

Hema do the VMS Touring In car navigators which you looking at arounf $700 + $400 for the 1:25000 maps; these will do street nav as well as give you all the detail of the 1:25000 map series, these units are annoying and painful to use though with tiny little buttons on the touchscreen means you ...

I've got a LWB Vitara and wondering whats the best AT tyre to go for.
Currently I'm running 30x9.5x15 which seem a good size
Mostly on the road but will be used offroad in mud/clay and will do a bit of gravel work.

Magellan are the best for mapping
but for the price Garmin still have decent maps, Oregan 200 or 300 is the way to go at the moment

I got 30's on my LWB without any mod's whatsoever no hammaring n shit, only issue is a bit of scrubbing on the chassis i belive at full lock

anybody used one in snow?
eg coming down a steep descent into a hairpin turn would any problems come up.....probable death if the car doesnt stop or turn

291, come sin black or white, pretty much the standard sikaflex used on everything, the other varieties are more for specific applications

haha always wondered what those odd shaped taps were for in the draw full of taps at home, now i know

im running 30's on mine (96 LWB) with no lift, bit of scrubbing on full lock

well thats from my work add bout $10 postage to anywhere

yeah mine had a loose dash when i got, ended up being that one of the threads were stripped, might be a good thing to look for

for what particular reason is that? for each of them, jsut trying to build up my knowledge here

so im a bit new to 4wdin
iv got a vit LWB with free wheeling hubs
is it bad to
a) drive in low range 4wd without hubs engaged
b) drive in high 4wd with hugs engaged on bitumen
c) drive in high 2wd with hubs engaged
thanks

well i did do some slow catious ones and then some quite fast ones as well haha.......the whole engine bay was basically covered in mud....in fact the whole car

well i fixed the problem, think the problem was dodgy spark plugs and there was water in one of the places the spark plugs go so i reckon it was shorting out before it could fire.

yeah prob distributor then.

so when putting a snorkel on what else needs to be waterproofed apart from the now obvious distributor

yeah i did it before i posted here, was dry but obviously had got a little bit fo water in didnt look like much had though, where exactly does it suck air in from anyway, i had a quick look and looks like it goes behind the FL tyre

so i took the vitara ('96 LWB) through some mud holes (no snorkel or anything) worst was over the bonnet for around 2 seconds anyway most were around 15-20" deep. basically the engine is shaking alot now at low rpm (500-1500) but dissappears suddenly once a bit higher. while idling it seems to lose ...
