Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Thanks mate

I need custom engine mounts any way as its a 1.6L Viatara motor.

It is a 1L LWB chassis any one got a 100% answer on them lineing up ?

Thansk Nick

Vitara engine into a 1.3 chassis, just keep the engine mounts.

Vitara engine into 1.0 chassis you will have to cut them off and weld ...

I had a Black Rat one a while back. I couldn't fault it, even dragged a mates Defender out of a mud bog with the handbrake on (he's dead now)

Well I have a swb spoa 91 zuk. I also have a 84 ? LWB chassis and was thinking about changing it all over.

What do i need to look for ? Will the body mounts line up ? It will be cut down into a ute and is a soft top.

Any one done this before ?

Nick

If they are both 1.3 then either way it will ...

So my question is do you need them?

Why bother asking, you're not going to take advise from here anymore anyway

My advise is not to run no bumpstops

that's gold christover

Man a thread goes downhill quick when mexicans get involved

'an I can't see no tech in here!!

They are KYB

I thought they looked longer than stock, are they off another vehicle?

Spewing I missed this first time round!

Anything come of it?

Bump.

Anyone?

I bought a caliper rebuild kit ages ago, but i'm sorry I can't remember how much it was. Ring around a few places and you should be able to get an idea of what they're worth.

As for doing the job this may help http://www.izook.com/tech/samurai/basic ... erhaul.htm

Grave dig time.

Toyo Truck (if you're still around), did you find out if the Cressida R&P fit on a Hilux carrier? I'm interested because that would make it possible to have a 3.909:1 diff, which is significant (as a zook guy) as it matches a stock zook ratio.

You got me thinking now. Might have to go pull it apart again and have a look!

Can you further explain the symptoms... ...I'm assuming that yours was the case where it could actually twist the shifter 360* when in gear??
Yep, that's what mine was doing.

my shifter wobbles from side to side in gear
Worn shifter sheet I'd say. Considering the low cost of the parts get the ...

I've seen a fair few questions asked about this over time, and suddenly a few days ago I go to grab 1st and it was like trying to stir a bowl of cold porridge with a wet noodle. So I get on the phone and order some parts (check end of this post for part numbers).

It's a pretty simple fix but some ...

If you're worried about corrosion just run coolant in it instead of water.

Havent heard of that, any idea what the upgrade consists of?

The only draw back with the air locker is that the air hoses break and get cought on stuff witch means you lockless for the rest of the day!

Carry spares

On vehicles with solid axles you are permitted to increase the track width by a maxiumum of 50mm.

Paging droopypete ... didnt you drill and tap new holes into the block for the lower two bolts. (no adapter plate required ?)

Close, but not quite.
Mine was the easiest of the lot.
The top holes line up.
The bottom holes don't, the 1.6 (with the larger flywheel) has a wider bellhousing than the 1 ...

That tube is not very strong, not really suitable for use as a recovery point.

Thanks for that BenT, Very helpful! Good question the bloke on the forum asked, what's the purpose of the VSS and what happens if you just ignore it?

Eng may be concerned with rotation between the gearbox and the engine. Engine obviously rotates on power deliver. The connecting bolts will feel ...

Sorry the number 9 is next to the number 0! ooops!

CWBYUP go fro the lock right in the back and the air locker in the front! Unless you got power steering! It's very hard to turn if it ever go's i'll go an air locker probably!

The thing with an air locker is that it wont be instantly off when ...

Would be a game engineer who approved that one (would be concerns about rotation of the two top bolts). Would love to see a pic of that mate, sounds like a simple solution (as opposed to tig welding). Would it not be possible to drill new engine lower mounting holes? (Just a guess).

I will ask ...

Ring the transport department, they will be able to tell you.

They would not be able to tell you if their own arse was on fire.

Have a look at some shock fittings from factory. From memory the 40 series rears are laid over a bit. If you go that much, I can't see you having any problems. Putting ...

Mating engine to gearbox: It has been said you can weld tabs, but is the Gbox steel or some sort of alloy (requiring tig welding?)? Is it possible just to redrill the bell housing (engine) to line up the Gbox bolts?

There are 4 bolts that hold the transmission and engine block together. For the ...

use the bundy steering box or a 60 series box,
its similar to what i've done ,your welcome to come have a look.
using the coils ???

Bundy box would be the way to go I reckon. Would all these be power steer, or did some come with strongarm steering?

Unfortunately the Bundy I bought does not have ...

I only want 15x7 rims, and are to both clear suspension components and increase track width.
Thanks

The largest off the shelf -ve offset 15x7s are -15. These will increase your track width 50mm overall, which coincidentally is as much as you can do legally (in Qld anyway).

I'm pretty sure these ...

About 3/4 the way down the page is some handy info on notching tube with a saw.

Thats exactly what i meant; where he uses the drop saw.
Cheers for that :armsup:

Just looking at what it would cost me to make my own tube bar; thats about ...

I know this isn't answering your question but I would run an electric sander instead of an air sander. Effeciency wise you will be a lot better off.
