Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Dunno what to suggest mate, my 60 was wired for spots etc, when I put HID into the high/low beams everything went to crap with the spotties, I wound up rewiring the relay etc to get around it, cant recall exactly what the drama was, but it was to do with the earth set up on toyota switching, and it ...

AE international sell a plug in unit on eBay for about $35 that you put in the unused side and it gets your highbeam indicator light etc back online too, the way Toyota switch their lights can cause stuff like this.

Sensational stuff, my 80 series has just shit a head..........AGAIN, so I am sitting here contemplating options, LS1 does make my whiskers twitch!

Great thread, be keen to see how it pans out

Similar thing happened to a mates 60, was a linkage issue. When you undid the selector did the rod protruding from the transfer case retract inside at all? if so it has probably slipped off the fork it sits in and will require the case to be split. We didn't have to remove the entire transfer case ...

drive works fine in H4 it just drops the front drive in L4 sometimes it makes some clicking noises like partly engaged gears, then "clunks in" and front drive will work fine until its disengaged from L4 again.

Got me buggered as to why

edit to add lever type shift

My 60 has an anoying bug, periodically the front drive does not engage, but only happens in the low range box, works fine in high, pull it back to low say for a steep decent and the front free wheels while the rear compression lockup and skid. Very annoying, I have checked the linkages, dont seem ...

My 80 series has been on gas for 11 years now, its done about 280,000km of which 200,000 have been on LPG. I had the head rebuilt after it dropped a valve at approx 210,000 which seems to be about the point that shit happens with valves from what I hear. Head rebuild was $3000 installed. Economy is ...

The 2H can smell a hill at 10 km and it slows down in anticipation

Does anybody know the best place to get replacment bulbs for LF lights as i have a blown one.? I have tried lighting / electrical shops but they only carry 50w bulbs. Also tried lighting pro online but they want 12 bucks to send a $11 bulb. Bunnings carries 50watters aswell. Go to your nearest gun ...

Got 33's on my non turbo 60 and they are fine, they are near as dammit the same rolling diameter as 7.50's which are what most 60's are meant to wear anyways, no appreciable change in ecconomy, they do touch with axle articulation but I am running a 2 inch lift only.

my 4.5 litre 80 series uses 90l LPG per 400 - 450 km or roughly 4.5k/l and doesn't vary alot loaded or unloaded.

What? Wheres your "?" and "." keys? WTF more info please and kays on what the 3f that comin out or the 2h i want to put in ???? I think what vk7ybi is saying is your post was missing some punctuation that would have enhanced its readability, as opposed to presenting a solid block of text requiring ...

Thx lads........gives me a start point, still kinda new to diesels.

Just curious if running on is a common issue with 2H's, the old rig goes great for what it is, but when turning off, she shudders and shakes like a wet dog before she stops.

Any tips, a forum search didnt yield anything obviously related for me.

Apologies if I have doubled up on an existing thread.

I just paid $5500 for a very tidy 2H 60 series with 200K on it, 2 owner vehicle with no rust.......it was worth it to me for a low milage solid old truck that should provide a good few years of reliable service. Maybe I paid too much, but I looked at some serious shit boxes in the $1500 - 3000 ...

You have PM mate

Hi all

I am trying to locate a contact/email for the manufacturer of nite stalker lights, Google has not been my friend on this occasion, anyone have any hot tips as to how I might find them?

cheers

Greg

Just bought a 60 series wagon, paid a bit more than you are looking at but mine only has 200k on a 2H and is a 2 owner truck that's been looked after.

33's went on ok on what I reckon are about 1inch lifted iron man springs, I cant see 35;s going on without some serious work.

Thx Steve, appreciate your feedback.

Thx mate for the reply, I am told the slimline ballasts are not as reliable or robust as the standards, do you have an opinion on this, or it it a wives tale?

Hi all, great forum BTW

Just wondering if anyone has tried an HID conversion on the Nite Stalker 215 (IPF copy) rectangular lights.......looking at mine I get the feeling it should be feasible without too much grief, but if somebody has done then so much the better for me!

Cheers

Greg
