Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey Guys,
Here is the result...
The immobilizer unit was bypassed, a new fuel cut off solenoid was fitted and hard wired to the ignition.
My next step is to add an immobilizer alarm system to it, which will actually be better as I will finally have central locking . So no more locking my keys in ...

I'm running Track Rider with 2 in lift... its very comfortable on road .. and a lot better than my 40 off road for comfort

Hey Guys Cheers for all the help,
... some good friends of mine put me onto a good diesel mechanic who has come highly recommended.. he's looking at it today for me.. he says what's wrong with it is a common thing so ... I guess we will see.. I will post the out come tomorrow.
Once again thanks for ...

Scotch locks ... what car doesn't nowadays. I'll check all the connections first as this is an easy check.... Mmm I'm not a fan of not being able to shut the motor off... so James while I understand its a way of determining the exact fault.
As this is my first diesel and I don't know a great deal ...

I'm convinced its the solenoid, she cranks hard each time so next
ill have to get the workshop manual to go much further myself..

Thanks mundy and old ed ..

Hey guys,
I have a 105 series .2003 1hz diesel cruiser and I've got a problem, it starts beautiful when cold or I let it sit for an hour but then wont start when warm or hot ... stop start type of driving like stopping to fill up with fuel..
All my research points toward a faulty fuel cut off ...

G'day guys,
It's been a long time since ive been back but anyways,

Has anyone seen or is there a thread for construction of a 105 series rear bar and swing away tyre mount?
I've looked and used the search but cuoldn't find one...

If there isn't thats ok...
Cheers Eric

Thanks guys
The info helped make my mind up with what i'll do. So this is what I'm doing,
just gonna brace/ strengthen the axle housing with some gussets,
add a diff protection cover.
will leave the axle change for another time,
and add larger bump stops to stop the tyres from scraping the inner ...

I'm sticking with 33's that i currently run, and I've read heaps but am having trouble choosing ... because ... there is so much info it's hard to choose

G'day guys I'm thinking of upgradeing my axles and doing a spring over conversion on my 40 series... can anyone sugest an upgraded axle or should i just simply change the diff ratio's? I'm just looking for a starting point as its the last thing i have to do.. For it has everything else done to it ...

Cheers guys
I didn't know about the fuel filter so I'll add it to the regular oil filter changes
Good to know that the info I found was right but also to have it confirmed is an added bonus
Thank you very much guys
Eric

G'day guys I haven't been on the site for a long time i was wondering if anyone can confirm or suggest the correct oil filter and best oil for my 1HZ 4.2 non turbo 105 series landcruiser...... I've still got the old fj40 which is now my permanent off roader but this is my first diesel I've ever ...

Yep thats what i've decided will be the easiest.... just wanted to get organized first though

Mr grim,
I was going to replace all 4 bolts with new ones and was after size and thread pattern, ie metric, af, fine, course thread as i dont know.
Thanks for the offer of bolts but as with your 40's it is a project that when i replace stuff i try where ever possible to upgrade or put in new stuff ...

Hi guys.. can some one tell me what engine mount bolts to use on my 40... i need to replace the rear two bolts. and the wreckers near me was no help

Thanks

P and L do a driving course just on the other side of the Black spur... plus i am sure if you post up the question.. some one on your side of town can put you on to clubs and courses near you...

COME ON ALL....... WHO KNOWS OF SOME OUT WEST... I'M sure we can help...

oh yeah.... please dont say ... crash..... i've had enough of em to know i dont like em.... lmao...

bzuko. what state are you in maybe i can help point you in the right direction. as to clubs or recomended driving courses in your area.. in Victoria i know of quiet a few... clubs and off road driving courses that are realy good and can help you if you are a complete novice all the way through to ...

Then my serious suggestion is to do some off road driving courses or join an off road club. if for nothing else if you do find yourself in a situation that requires some off road driving at least you will have an idea what to do... having said that ... my Dad bought himself a gq patrol years ago ...

Yep, drr is right about the gas stuffing the heads... when i first bought my 40 the previous owner ran it totaly on gas and the head required a complete rebuild. at the time i had gas valves, guides put in and had it xrayed for any cracks or defects. since then i run it on unleaded at least once a ...

Personaly i would go the 80 series over the prado but thats just personal taste... A few of my friends are running 80's and they realy go well off road. As to your gas question.... if they were dangerous to run in an off road vehicle they would never be in them. my 40 has run gas for 15+ years off ...

Hey guys,

Cam and Oldmate, I have always had a workshop manual with ALL cars, 4x4"s and Motor bikes i have ever owned.. it has saved my many times not to mention the thousands of $$ it has saved me as well.

As to fitting myself I have decided ... Let an expert deal with it... at least i will have ...

Will you be removing the pinion to replacve bearings or changing gears? Removal and fitment/resetting of the pinion is probably the most difficult and time consuming part job.

If you're not touching the pinion just take your time and make sure you understand the instructions you're following ...

Ok Guys... I've read the threads on Lokka vs Air locker debates and all the to and fro on the subject.. I realize people will always have and opinion on what is best. My question is.,...... realy truely... How hard is it to fit an Air locker. model number rd142 front and rear to my 40?.... I have a ...

As you can clearly see we all have had dramas with the idicator light set up.. I used heat shrink over the wires on mine and then clipped them to the guard edge it is a slightly longer set of wires but utilizing the edge of the guard keeps the 40 look but provides wire protection.. that works for me ...

Lol , but it is coming along nice, where did the coils come from? did you do it yourself?

Love the home made r.t.i.... lol but i think it needs more angle

well done DAZ,
did you get what you wanted???

Any One got more?????

G'day guys I recieved an email from A.R.B the other day on an enquiry on the price of front and rear diff locks for my 40 series... supplied fitted and hooked up to the wiring loom that already exsists... Price.... $3204.00.... :crazyeyes: ..... I know i could put in a detroit or lock-right in the ...
