Outer Limits 4x4 Board

sell it and buy a hilux.... dont waste any more money if your not planning on keeping it.

you never get back waht you put in, so put less money in now and spend it later

was just wondering about the 186 as i will have it from another project very soon, and i paid nothing for it, its also significantly worked. i was thinking as it isnt nearly as big of an increase it would possibly not need as many cooling issues to be adressed, however i was just seeing some replys

a mate of mine mentioned he has been hearing of a 4Y turbo setup, but when i asked more specifically he didnt know alot...

is this true, if so is it worth the money and who does it...


lastly, would a signifcantly modified 186 motor swap into a 88 Hilux??

thanks peoples

My 88 Hilux has a 2Inch BL, 3 Inch Sagged Suspension, 32's and a rollbar.

top of the rollbar sits at 2.2metres. smacked into a few of those clearance bars that claim to be 2.25 or 2.3 or the such.... eh, i am yet to come off second best

show pony, might do some occasional lugging though. probably a mounted toolbox at most on the tray. Autobarn sell some Chassis Black paint made by K+H or something similar to that, is that wat i should be using like they mentioned, or is it just classic autobarn, pretending everything they have is ...

ive seen some people with a wealth of knowledge when it comes to paiting, i just got my WB one Tonner chassis back, sandblasted and undercoated.... planning on getting it into a ncie gloss black. so, can anyone help me out with the best paint, best way to achieve that real gloss look, best ...

i drive a 88 Hilux xtra Cab (the square model) my horn has recently stopped working.... i checked the wiring with another horn and to no avail, the horn is fine, but somewhere the wiring is shot. i checked behind the steering wheel aswell and all those connections seem fine. is there a fuse or relay ...

how old can the equipment be before u need to replace things, such as the age of the tank anmd the such

any help appreciated

any melbourne based shops that specialise in custom bellhousing for this sort of thing.... cant imagine there would be an off the shelf unit like marks have for the commo swap!

put somethin heavy in the back...

but seriously, could porobly flog the ones u have for some standard ones and make some dosh?!?!

his ute is a gen 2 xtra cab....
a nice one at that!

we have a 3.8l V6 mustang motor with an auto sitting in the shed if you would like to have a go sticking someting different in a lux price dictates everything... im waiting on tax return and a couple of other sales before i can even think about doing this.... but a mustang motor sounds like it ...

i want more info on this.... i dont wanna do it unless it works our relatively cheap... but its something i would prefer to putting a holden block in

just personal choice :/

i will try find the camera to show u the mounts on mine.... its all factory as well... otherwise u can still come out n have a look...

will search soon!

Was talking to the old lady, she was shocked to hear that the most common swap is a holden v6.... but she loves her fords, as do i

has it been done newhere, and wat motor etc was used for it?
just interested to know?

Im with this idea!!!

EDIT: goddamit, i wasted my time doin a shop and then when i edit u had decided to do one too

pictures would be sweet... did u get my PM sierrajim?

engineers to ring?

friendliest and cheapest...

cmon, let me in on these secrets!

im assuming i could use a rubber piece with chain holding to position for mudflap... im sure ive seen it on a couple of tray designs... sharp edges are sweet to fix, just bumper... i was a lil confused as i dont think the ute came with a bumper really... was jsut tub... but i spose the bottom part ...

mate... would be really happy if i didnt have to do any of that... would like to know if it is legal though, or at least a number of a engineer / address that i could go chat to for 10minutes

thanks fellas

very true... but legalities is my main problem... this will stand out a bit more than a cut on the bottom of a wagon...
isnt it a law to have a rear bumper!

dont wanna give the police any extra reason to pull me up, will be wearing p plates as soon as october comes round :/

The picture below is a yank truck... but i am really interested in the idea they have done on the tub... the cut down the bottom of the ass end of it.

my real question is how legal is it provided i remount the numberplate / mudflaps, and who is an engineer i can talk to just quickly about it?!?!

the guy with the v6 is considering converting to gas to save a few $

what model is the hilux he is running, do u no nemore about the adapter from the engine to gearbox... >!>!

hey savage, why not stick to a diesel and put in a 13b or 14b turbo into your rig. more reliable and better fuel economy and you don't have to replace the rear main seal annually!! been thinking about available options for my lux as well. if u have the money ?!? why not spend it ?? if your got the ...

i've got a vp series 2. the marks adapter kit is great. i also run a standard 5 speed in my hilux, it hasn't given me any trouble,and we give it shit. we done all the short course events last year , and practise regually for winch challenges. the power is great, just do it cheers brian what model ...

was pushed away from the 7M's due to a bloke telling me all about the head problems and just basically warning me right off it. Yep they are a dog and would never work i no are yet to experience these problems... but the more people i talk to seem to be against the conversion... i preced a couple ...
