Outer Limits 4x4 Board

My LSD hung on till about 90K then rapidly deteriorated. When I blew the front diff at 105K I fitted front and rear lockers.

The gaps around my doors are 0.5cm

I run the Safari D'tronic on my 2005 TD100 which I fitted myself in about half an hour. It has improved performance dramatically at the bottom end of the rev band. I'm currently using a 4WD shop for a service but removed it in 10 min for the last dealer service while out and about.

Richard, I was concerned about the water crossings and fan issues, but the fitting of the bash plate has been reworked so now there are no spacers in the front 3 bolts, so the foam seal now sits hard against the bottom of the radiator as per original Toyota fitment. Water crossings shouldn't be a ...

I know this site isn't the home of IFS lovers, is anyone running this ATS kit in a 100 series?

Have the new shopping/towing the horsefloat car for the other half. It looks ., needs some added extras. Suspension is first on the list.

Question is OME or ATS?

Yep, I had mine done at Macquarie ...

Passenger side manifold was cracked most of the way round between the 2nd and third outlets. Not the sort of thing you would expect at 110,000KM and 3.5 years. Tried to repair it with thermo steel but it just cracked again.

Thanks for the input guys.
The consensus seems that it is the manifold causing the problem. I have checked my fuel records and recon it has had a crack for the last 20,000K including a trip up to Darwin and another through the High Country. Its now really bad so I'm going to try and fix it myself ...

Was told today I had two problems:-

Timing belt tensioner had disintegrated and the manifold had a crack in it. Getting the timing belt tensioner fixed but will leave the manifold for the time being.

Hot enough for the temp gauge to hit max and hear the water boiling in the engine casing. It took about twenty minutes or so before the water stopped boiling. The problem only seems to occur when the engine is hot and been running for more than an hour or so and is really bad on steep hills. Its OK ...

A couple of times now but months apart I have suffered a loss of power and the engine starts running very rough. Happens when the engine is hot. I put my foot down to accelerate revs climb to 4000K and no acceleration. Revs drop suddenly to 1500-2000K and it feels like the engine is about to stall ...

My understanding is LRP is being phased out, like now. For older vehicles you will need to buy the addative and add it to the fuel.

My folks recent did the Bourke Police Trip all over the centre and up north, they destroyed two AT's completely. One peeled the tread off and the other just came apart, prolly copped a stake, dad always takes two spares luckily. The old man went for ST's when he got home cause he didn't think the ...

The plastic ones seemed to be working OK tilll I hit a roo mid morning on the Mitchell Highway between Bourke and Nyngan. Missed the 1st one that jumped out of the scrub and got the 2nd. Lucky it hit the nudge bar and went under.

I'm running a 2001 NM Exceed with an ARB/OME 65mm HD rear, 35mm standard front lift and Cooper 265X75X16.

Main use is city commuting and outback touring where the vehicle is brilliant. Good on sand and C grade bush tracks. Rock hopping on B Grade tracks is a bit painfull.

Interested in ...

It was the main tank which is metal with a plastic wrap around cover. The plastic had just bounced back into shape which was why the mechanic had trouble finding out what was going on.

Had the mechanic try to replace the fuel filter. He got it out and couldn't put a new one back in. Finally worked out the petrol tank had been pushed in at the bottom. Initially they didn't think they could repair it but afeter getting it out and a bBit of cutting, panel beating and welding fixed it ...

I'll take one off your hands. PM me with your phone number and we can work out the details.

Got about 40K on my ST-C's after about 50% metro blacktop, 40% outback touring, 10% bush tracks witha small amount of rockhopping. Heaps better traction than the previous tyres in all conditions. Blacktop is about the same.

No chipping but split a sidewall on a sharp piece of shale on a steep ...

Thanks Frank,

I did have a situation recently where the engine was being starved like it was running out of fuel which I have done a couple of times. Once to see how much I could get out of the main tank before switching to the auxilliary. The second after I found out the fuel guage stopped at 3 ...

After spending a bit of time locating exactly where the noise was comming from removed the cover plates over the fuel filter and nailed down the noise to the fuel filter. I carry a spare filter for emergencies but have never had to replace it myself. Looks like a mongrel job to remove and replace ...

Did a Simpson crossing last August using the WAA line. Removed the rear seats and anchored 3X20 litre jerry cans across the front of the cargo barrier.

Frank,

Was very noticable after a fast trip home up the expressway when I got home and the engine was idling. Coudn't hear it above the tyre noise on the expressway. More of an electrical whine than than a gear whine. Haven't noticed it this weekend only going to the shops and back. Thanks for ...

Noticed yesterday a nasty whine comming from under the vehicle at the rear of the fuel tank. Its getting louder and suspect it may be the fuel pump. Can anyone confirm this and how long have I got.

Have recorded my petrol dockets over a 3 year period except for a gap of 7 months in 2003 when I got a bit sick of it. Petrol cost this year has got a bit ugly having done a couple of decent outback trips.

Interesting point about the air filter as mine was replaced (paid for it but ...

I record my fuel records in a spreadsheet.
Since I purchased the vehicle new in 2001 the trend has increased from 16L/100K to 18L/100K.
Worst consumption is on the blacktop at over 100KPH with a load on the roof punching a headwind.
Best consumption is an unladen vehicle on the blacktop with a ...

There was a link on one of the forums about 12 months ago to the US Mitsubishi site for a Montero manual. Was only there for a month for free.
It was well protected as try as I might could not find any way to downloading a copy.

What about the ST or ST-C...?
Speaking from experience, you will break those tyres very quickly. The lugs are not strong.

I've got 40K on 4 Cooper ST-C's and wearing well. Had to replace one when I split the sidewall after dropping it onto a rock on a very steep shaley track at the back of ...

Ive got the next 2 1/2 weeks off. Heading through Bourke to Darwin and return via Coober Pedy.

Paj with the monococh chassis is riggid. Mine has had a good workout.
