Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I run aisin hubs on both my 80s with longs.

The new style longs Come with 2 grooves, do you can cut them down to suit aisins.

On my Ute I have solid axle hilux hubs with chromo hub gear

On my wagon I have 75 series hubs with the chromo hub gear

Ive run SRC's and Amadas in my 80s with no problems, I live up the cape so the are constantly getting hammered.

Thanks man, I'm pulling my 1hdt out and putting a FTE in.

Do the FTE's run the same bellhousing as the 1hdt?

thanks fellas

Google "emu wing" they dont look too bad. its a good idea for sure

I blew a turbo up once in the bush and destroyed it completly, so i disconnected the intake from the turbo and put a filter (off the quad) directly onto the crossover pipe and limped home 50k like that.

I had to keep a BIG eye on the egt's but it did get me home.

ive got SRC's in my wagon (which run the spherical bearing setup) and I live up the Cape and do a LOT of gravel road driving and so far mine are holding up well and cant say they transmit vibes any worse than their rubber equivalents.

It's all running sweet mate! Very happy with it.

Yeah it's for chassis clearance, if it was on top I'd lose a bit of up travel.

It's only got 4" under it.

One day I'll replace that with a proper arm.... It was a temporary fix years ago............

for anyone that may be interested, heres the finished result.

See the hole in the arm where the bush welds in... Not much I can do about it unfortunately.!

There's not much I can do about having to weld it in. That's the way it comes. Also a mate in tas got his hellfire high steer engineered, so must be able to pass it ?

Also I have a reamer as we had to turn up a new bush, but it won't help due to the size of the hole in the arm.

The only problem is if you have tapered tie rod ends. The bolt section that goes through the steering stem. Most of them are tapered so they won't physically fit upside down. But if that isn't the case then no problem. Go for it.

That bit is all good mate, I have a sleeve that welds in with the ...

Haha oops, my bad

Yep as long as running them upside down has no adverse affects, then I'm happy !v

The Ute setup, as u can see the hole for the bolt/tierod is verticle, so it wouldnt put the tierod on any weird angles.

So ive got my high steer on my 80 wagon, I've got one on my 80 Ute as well with the steering arm on top of the hs arm, my wagon is a bit lower so I'd like to run the arm under the hs arm.

This time I'm using std tierod end and was wondering if there's any reason you can't run a tierod upside down ...

Anyone got any idea if 80 front radius arms will fit in a vdj?

I see locktup are now selling genuine aisin hubs now. Might be handy for some !

U could do it, but it will wander more and may end up driving like a shopping trolley.

thanx guys ive already converted my full time transfer from full time to part time but sick of it engaging every now and then.... so i was thinking of ditching it and replacing it with the dx model and having the more reliable way with no electrics.

Is it actually engaging? Or is just the light ...

ALL 105s ran 4.3. Unless someones put aftermarket ratios in.

ALL 80s were 4.11 regardless of motor, box, or model

I agree with Evan, much rather fulltime to part time!

Wear is negligible and bigger all difference in fuel.

Your dead right 76! Forgot it wouldn't be spinning whilst the clutch is out!

If the clutch plate is out of alignment u wont get the gearbox back on, unless off course your spigot bearing has disappeared.

Maybe the bearing is rooted?

Thanks guys I'll have a look tonight. Fair chance I've knocked a hose off , hopefully!

We have an old 2h troopy, long story short, had to move it out the drive with no fab belt (30 sec of driving). Put the new belt on, now it idles at 1800rpm, was fine before hand tho!

Any ideas boys ?

If your talking about the factory part time box, then yes it fits BUT tailshafts are different length (just rear from memory)
