Outer Limits 4x4 Board

So Blackmav,
You had no dramas changing to a ute? Was anything said about the steel tray mounts, you would have had to weld on for the tray? I've got to change bodys on mine and thought ute mite be the way to go!!

Hey mate, Before U pull box out try bleeding it really well, had same sort of problem, air was stuck in there sum where!

Gday mate, it's only simple and quick, but try taking your fan off your pump and see if revs? Sometimes the vicous stuffs up.

I tried Chops method after my leak slowly worked out to 500ml a month, it took about half a bottle of brake fluid over 2 weeks to work, BUT it did work that was 2yrs ago no leaks since!

A little trick to piss the theifs off, is to drill the protuding amount of stud after the nut goes on and carefully knockin an approate size roll pin! So unless they walken around with a set of pin punches, their a plick to get off!!!

Does anyone know of a good diesel dyno tuner in the Newy area? Thanks

I had same problem with me old Toyato 60 series, replaced with new radiator, fixed problem, coolant needle never moved past 1/4 ever again, even when flogging it up Stocken sand dunes in the middle of summer with air cond. on!

I had to temp. take my battery cradle to fit in, but bolted straight in after that! The problem I had was the connection to the snokel. I turned down a piece of 3.5" S/S steam pipe to 3.25" so it slide straight into filter with silcone. Than I just hose clamped a straight 3.25" silcone hose ...

I have 2 mates that own GU's.The 2.8 seem the same size with different piping arrangments, but the late model 4.2IC has no fan, where the 2.8 does! I'm at the monent in the middle of making my own manifold to run a HT18s 2s Twin scroll RX7 Turbo with a top mounted WRX intercooler on my TD4.2. I'm ...

So let me get this straight! You're allowed a 2" spring & 2" body lift at the same time, but you can't have a straight 4" lift in Queensland even if it's engineered. I thought engineers overuled the RTA or DOT to a certain point, otherwise what's the point in having them! Are there any engineers on ...

I made my own up using 63x45 hollow bar. They're 46mm wide. I made the bores to be between 49.92 to 49.95mm. As the the bushes are 50mm or a bit over. You want them tight so they don't move side ways in the bore when their on you're 4by, Happy Machineing!!

Kiwi, The one I used and it's been worken ever since, was just an old valve off a dizzy that I got at the wreckers for $2. It will never work as fast as an ARB one because it only has four prongs that it can engage with on the other half, If that makes sense!

I've been working in a foundry for years and when U poor brass,the zinc fumes rise up through big exhaust fans, so theres s**t loads of it. All the blokes who poor it have allways drank lots of milk, so milk does work on the effects of zinc poisioning.

Beefcake, Just check again your shim packs. Sometimes they get stuck together looking like a thicker shim! I too took my shims out years ago, and yes it does slow the woobles down. Just make sure when you take the shims out that you take the same thickness out top and bottom or you will just be ...

If you had a loose belt for a while, yes the belt would be worn! But I would also look at the condition of your pully grooves, they also wear especially with a loose belt skidding around!

Roga, Does your engine sound like it's making a lot of excess fan noise under the hood? Thats what mine sounded like, because the fan was spinning at the same rpm's as the engine. The vicious oil in the fan should heat up after a very short period allowing the fan to spin slower and engine to rev ...

Could someone explain what a pryo's function is & what they cost? I've also heard people talk about anaoids on turbo diesels. What is their function also? Thanks

Try going to an truck or bus wreckers, their fairly cheap $20 to $40. Then you can pick what ever shape fits your rig!!

Ya mate thats the way you do it. I've done it the same way on my GQ and GQ's are same as GU only a little wider.

My vicious fan was stuffed when I 1st bought my TD42, it too also wouldn't rev past about 2800rpm. After changing, truck reved fine!

Like Tiny stated ,but you only need one rear wheel lifted. Put brick behind front wheel,take hand brake off and heres the big one, you need to have your car running! Theres no need to have it in 4wd. Turn your DL switch on. Than simply rotate your lifted tyre to it locks in and wheel stops, light ...

Any one know price of an after market cast Turbo manifold, and a names where I can get one? And what sort of price for a custum built steel or s/s job? Thanks

Good job mate. I would probaly put some triangle gusets between your U brackets and RHS for a bit more strength! Also when you weld galvo steel your better off grinding the galvo off around where your welding for better penetraing welds and also galvo fumes are farly toxic. Just recoat welds with ...

I've got one and had same problems! They will engage in 2wd! 1st I turned switch on with 4b running and got under 4b, took off vaccum line 1 at a time and checked for suction. When switch is turned off suction shouldv'e happen again. But nothing happened! So I got under 4b again and swapped lines ...
