Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Thanks for the replies and suggestions fellas. I just spoke with Greg from Bullet cars and he sugested that I take the Rosta tensioner arm and pulley to CBC and they should be able to help me out. Rosta arm died when it was comming out :bad-words: . So its back to N/A for a while until I get to Bris...

What sort of hourly rate did they charge? Close to where I will be so I might stop in and have a chat.

Will take one on Monday. If it helps?

As the title suggests, I need a new idler pulley fabed up as the one I have now has been worn down. It was part of the sprintex supercharger kit but they no longer sell/ Make them. I will be heading down in December so I was looking at taking it with me and having it reverse engineered and a new one...

Go and buy/borrow a pitman arm puller. I tried the Jack it up( Not Jack it off!!!) and smack with a hammer but it did not budge. One minute with the Pitman Arm puller and job was done. Cost me $40? from Supercarp.

Battery stuffed? Alt belt missing? Belt too loose? Failing that take it out and to a auto sparky. AEEA have good replacement ones. Good luck.

Loose rear sway bar can make a rattle when low speed cornering, After climbing under and shaking everything by hand this seems to be the most obvious. Worn exhaust mounting rubbers could also be a cause. Let us know if you pinpoint and fix the problem.

The one closest to the front of the thermostat housing is the Temperature Gauge Sender.

Can you take a photo to give us a better idea of where you are talking about. you will get a quicker/ more accurate response. :) The covers on either side have a small$5 dollar O ring which is easily replaced but anything ontop may be more hassle than its worth. there are lots of small parts inside ...

In QLD 50mm is all you are allowed in body lift height without engineering cert. you go to the RTA and they give you a form. You detail all the information about what type of blocks, bolts, nuts etc... they then approve it or not. Then as your lift is now not a road worthy issue ( if done corretly) ...

Fourbys also hire tyres so if they do not have any 4 sale they might have some to borrow 2 now.

Goyder river crossing, looking back it was a very simple 4wding question that I asked and thanks to some of the posts I have confirmed the answer that I thought, so this can be put to bed now. Cheers.

ok looking at leaving town @ midnight and should reach the first xing at 4-5am, let diffs cool and fill tanks and by then the sun should be comin up.

Yep, I got the dvd player and the wiggles already packed.

Already asked her, she was not impressed about sharing the water with the toothy handbag.I may go accross and drop her off ( and the boy if he wakes up) and get some water xing shots. Will see how time goes.

Its on Aboriginal land and is the main H'Way up here, I have all my permits and there is no probs goin through the rivers, as that is where the road goes straight accross. 5 river/ causways in total.My thruck has no leaks. All risks considered, if it was the wet season different story as this crossi...

ok ok ok crocs in the river, way of life up here. It was only a small 12 footer. :finger: like i said the track and river xing is not an issue just wanted to get some advice on which gear to do it in, looks like low second. :lol: Landy did not get stuck, a service truck had its fan blade go through ...

The water bra is a must as the Supercharger belt pulley has made the fan very close to the radiator and I do not want it to be sucked in by the water and stuff the radiator, this happened just a few days ago to a service vehicle crossing the same river. A mate of mine ( Landrover driver )was coming ...

Thanks guys, very capable Gq, Lift Tyres, Supercharger, Snorkle, Driver? The river is used all the time as it is the only track out of East Arhnem land. I have a MSA water bra thanks to my mag subsription hense the torches on the roof rack idea as the lights will be covered. I have owned ny truck fo...

driving it at midnight as I am driving 800kms on track to get to Katherine from remote mining town and the little fella will be asleep hopefully the hole trip. Rocky bottom but not too rough. crocs in river so I wont be walking it. I have been through it as a passenger but that was a landrover and i...

As the title suggests, I have to do some water crossings to get out of town and make it to the black top, in my way are a few water crossings roughly bonnet deep and 10 m wide. do i use high range 1st gear or 2nd gear low range. 89 GQ 3'lift 33'tyres. wife and child on board so wont be barreling thr...

Check for an air lock in your coolant system. After refilling it let the car run and wait for the thermostat to open and bleed the air out, top up with coolant and should be all sweet. Same thing happened to me when I changed out my water pump, Thought the radiator was full took it for a drive 2kms ...

Alt fitted and working great 13.9V at 1000RPM. Old alt was throwing in 12.2V @ 1000RPM. Will take some pics tomorrow and

Yes it is the easiest replacement Alt that I found after doing a bit of searching, No modifications needed. Straight swap. Twice the power output of my standard unit (60A) and has an extra vacume outlet blanked on the top hose that may come in handy later. Total price delivered from Brisbane to NT $...

Thanks guys, i undid the 4 bolts holding the lower mounting bracket and it literally fell off the Alt :bad-words: It was the plastic looking spacer on the Alt that was stopping it from coming free in the first place. Ok so the old one is out and I just need to put the new 120A AEA unit in. At work a...

Sorry guys I should have mentioned that it is a TD42 with the two bolts on the bottom, 1 in front and one behind. I will have another look after work tonight. Cheers for the replys so far.

Ok so I am changing my alternator on my 89 GQ and am having trouble removing the alternator from the bottom mounts. How do I get the Rod that goes from the front to the back on the bottom out? Or do I need to remove the bottom mount from the engine as well? Any help would be great.

Hi, any chance we can get a price on the GQ bonnet with the twin GU scoops in it. I am very keen. I am in the NT tho and would need to talk about freight cost.

Hi Chris, have you got any photos of the cabs and tube tray?
