Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Either your windscreen surround has started to rust and the seal isn't sealing, also remove the panel in front of the windscreen behind the bonnet they fill up with sh.t and leak inside the truck from there.

He has a gu yes.

I'm just seeing what you guys think of the factory rear locker that is on the gq ti's. Have you had any problems with yours when pushing it hard on the beach, mud or sand? I am thinking of upgrading and i can get a complete diff for less than half price of an air locker but if there rubbish i'll ...

From my understanding the 60 series is the natural diesel, 61 has the 12ht and the 62 is a petrol.

I'd sell the dropped radius arms mate or u will be putting a new chassis under your patrol, the 3rds production/bbm swiveling radius arms bend and tear them apart.

Yes if it is a td42 they are all the same, normally non turbo.[/quote]

The cheap mig welders are rubbish, i'd personally buy a cheap inverter stick welder if your not looking at spending the money on a decent mig or a ac/dc tig. Your local tafe will hold courses that aren't that expensive and you can learn a lot from it. I know the boc store in Cairns will let you test ...

So how did you end up going with the disco mate?

Neil.

Should handle it no worries.

U will always loose a bit of boost pressure through an intercooler, you will have a bit more lag as you have lengthened the intake charge airs path.

If yours in pre 2003 it will fit but u will have to modify the support brackets on the radiator support as the 1998-2002 non intercooled had a wider radiator.

That's a great setup you have there, what brand of cooler is it?

pm XTREME MMM he will hook u up with what you need and is very helpful.

td42's suffer from a lot of aluminum electrolosis in the cooling system if regular cooling services haven't been done, timing case, thermostat housing and oil cooler housings are very expensive if highly corroded.. Thats the only concern i would have.

Without it your head pressure will get to high as there will not be sufficent sub cooling in the condensor and the a/c compressor will cut out for longer than it's on.

It is for sale and i am considering buying it and was seeing if any1 knew anything about it but obviously not.

Was meaning that truck in particular

Hey guys does any1 know anything about or seen this truck before??



Cheers, Neil.

turn over really slowly is the brushes sticking mate.

It may be that the starters you get are sad to begin with, really the only problem i've seen them have is sticking brushes. There is no need to go out buying new starters they are very easy to rebuild. My last cost me $50 in parts Hitachi S13-118A is the starter part number any electrical supplier ...

Can easily be done mate but depending on what power you want to make there are a lot of better turbo's to run.

Thanks Ricko.

Hey guys well the mrs old man is looking at a 05-06 v6 manual prado. Has any1 had any contact with these vehicles towing big caravans or boats? We have a 6M cruisecraft that goes 2Tonne and this is what the vehicle is being purchased for. I'd like to see him in a diesel but any feedback your willing ...

I had the same problem and did all the same checks. Found it was a tyre issue, replaced the suspect tyre now shimmy at 70-90km/hr is gone.

The problem is they get addicted to the lpg, like a engine with aerostart. If you put a restrictor in the fuel return you shouldn't have too many more problems, just keep running it on petrol and see how u go.

Neil.

No need to mate if u don't ask you don't know.

Good luck, Neil.

Bad fuel sure can do that mate. drop the bottom of the tank, if the tank has sh,t in it replace the filter again see how u go

The shaft seal leaks on the pump. You will need a bearing puller to take the drive gear off, there ferkin tight.

A 1hz is a mechanical engine which hasn't got a computer the 1hdt does. 3" non turbo will just make noise, you'd be better off saving up for a turbo kit then do the exhaust mate.

Rust proofing works well or electronic rust proofing does also, all depends on your budget.
