Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey all, Onto my 3rd hilux but first TD that I've personally owned, its an 01 D/C with 1kzte motor. Just installed the scotts rods 3" turbo back exhaust system and waiting to see how it goes over the next few days and a set of 245/75 R16 kelly safari tsr's. In the mean time I've got some plans and ...

Yeah hadnt considered patrol, 80 series or Pajero good options. Spose the missis would have to pick up bacon and eggs on the weekend :p but yeah would be good to factor her In somewhat for those had a few too many or emergency moments. Like the sound of the Pajero, how's the 3.2L turbo DID hold up ...

I did write an essay of a post but after it didn't submit and deleted the text I'll keep it short n sweet lol. Need a fourby of sorts, had a few In the past so got an idea of what I want but would like some help to avoid any pitfalls. Would have to be able to fit 2 baby seats Decent fuel economy ...

Thanks for the replies lots of good info here !! Yeah the general design I'd be after is like the above photo, given the lower sides on a 7 by 4 would you be able to fit 3 bikes in 2 forward one backwards? As having the same or smaller wheel track would be good to avoid hitting obstacles in tight ...

had a look and considered buying from the auctions as I got a mate who works there but as i havent been to the auctions whilst they were underway and not many prices are listed, how much do you think you'd save over redbook pricing for private sales etc ? any differences between dmax and rodeos ...

Interesting, didnt even think of the articulation factor ! Im guessing most "heavy duty" 7 by 5's you see new for sale would at least have decent springs packs but whats the best way to tell , number of leaf's , length or ??? Im going to have a look at a few this week just to suss out the different ...

Just joking about the beer :D ..... but whilst I've got your attention I'm looking at buying either a 03 onwards rodeo or colorado in the next 6months as i'm finding everything else is either overpriced or underpowered/not hitting that bang for buck bar. From the research I've done and to narrow it ...

out of 70 people who've seen this none have taken a trailer offroad or have had any experience with them ?!

Hey, looking at buying either a second hand - max couple year old trailer or new trailer, mainly for towing bikes on but still has to be a box trailer so it can be used for moving houses and so on. Will have to fit 3 fullsize 450's etc at times so I'm guessing the smallest you could go would be a 7 ...

thanks, ive performed compresssion tests on 4 cyl petrol motors with distributors before and checked for even compression across all cylinders but never on a diesel before. Is there particualr figures you look to achieve or just even compression across all cylinders?! What to you have to disconnect ...

Anyone?!

hey all im looking at buying a 1998 D22 nissan navara with 300thou kms on the clock its the 3.2L diesel which I've heard is a fairly bulletproof donk. The eventual plan is to turbo it, but first how well do these engines and utes hold up with this many kms on the clock ?! would turboing it with ...

Hey all, i have some mudstar 285/75r16's on some roh alloy rims from my yn67 hilux. My mate wants to buy them off me for his 75 series cruiser. Will they fit and how much would you let them go for in good condition ??

ha ha if only the mrs wouldn't notice a missing little poo machine then i could have a lot more toys !!! Yeah ive been having a look at what other people have been selling them for that are similar to mine unfortunately with the stuff done to mine most people over look it compared to lockers ...

Hey all I'm tidying up my hilux to sell, its a 1988 yn67 4wd. Was going to be my weekend warrior/ project but circumstances changed. What I want to know is how much its worth so I can put forward a fair price on it so it doesnt sit for too long as ive got a young one due to arrive soon. About the ...

as the title states i urgently need tyre placard information for a 1988 yn67 4wd hilux, gotta have it by latest wednesday this week for my QLD transport inspection if you could post info and a photo it would be greatly appreciated !!

its a YN67 ( single cab live axel front ) 1988

hey im over my little fuel tank on my YN67 hilux whats the easiest/cheapest upgrade to about 60/70 litres minimum?!

thanks, I'll have a go at tightening it when i install my new engine mounts, if that doesn't fix the play then ill have to get the kits for it. So if theres bugger all chance of getting it engineered then how hard and what do you have to do to get it removed as i want this ready for the easter ...

so im getting my car back to " roadworthy spec after it got defected " and one of the things they pulled up was the drag link and the play in it has to meet the manufacturers specifications. I had a look at it and it has a grease nipple on either end so im assuming its a ball joint in each end. It ...

hey mate sounds good, i was looking at the weber conversion kit from recarb but at $600 it has been delayed for a while, would be very interested in photos for the aircleaner/custom snorkel set up. how much did you end up paying for the entire thing with tuning n all? have you had any problems on ...

got the mechanics to get it off with that internal reverse thread socket, the kits cost about $200 to obtain so if its a once off id recommend getting a tyre shop to do it.

turns out it was a fuel idle solenoid, easy fix .

for future reference the carbi issue was a fuel idle solenoid, tailshaft and ball joints were sent into a mechanic to fix about $1200 in total quarter panels can be obtained new from ABC wreckers for about $90 There are mobile spray painters that will come to you and paint them for about $250 for ...

ok went for a vehicle inspection the other day and they want it approved ( didn't have time to get it fixed ) now that i have the time, who approves bodylifts after they have been installed ( would assume you could get a certificate of approval when you get bodylift installed by 4x4 shop) And a few ...

for future reference the VCR relay was fine but the solenoid was faulty replaced with and "ABR sidewinder unit" for $80 and then got the LCD screen and neutral switching battery control unit( which tells you voltage of each battery and indicates if they are charging) for another $80 and haven't had ...

hey all i'm looking at buying a surf and going the turbo diesel route. The two models i was looking at are the 2.8litre diesel ( turboing it ) or the 3litre that is already turbo but looks like they only can be found in auto's As far as i've found out the 3litre turbo diesel is an import model and ...

hey wondering what bullbars are iunterchangable for the 84-88 hilux froim older models

So it turns out I can get a 3L diesel for about 1500 and I've heard that the 2L-T manifold bolts onto the 3L block making for a fairly cheap conversion at $2000 on a Toyota surf that originally had the 2LT motor. Now seeing as I'm going from petrol to diesel what is involved with fuel lines and ...
