Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Seen a pretty good flat bed truck that was rated to 5t somewhere near Bundy when travelling the other day. Caught my eye as it was only 15k. Coulda done with a clean up, but that'll be what I'll be looking for I reckon when we finished touring and head back to CQ and give the comp scene a shot with ...

We just recently come back from a 7k klm trip around the bottom of NSW and VIC in our 80. Run it on gas the whole way, pulling a 1.7t van.
Auto wise, all I did was drop it out of O/D when the hills were coming, the only place we really had trouble was the Blue Mountains.
We run it on gas all the ...

C'Mon, tell us what it is, we won't tell NASA we promise.

Have a look here, might be of some use, in Brissy too. I've thought about having the supply and fit side of it done then finish it off myself. Don't have the time or place to do it all at home.

How do you rig them up on a diesel motor? what is it going to run off?

Curious, what is the set up?

Superduty, NZ, is this the Traxion motor?
I've got a 7.8hp motor on a low mount from Traxion, been on for a few years now, and treated like shite, absolutly fantastic. It's on a Premier.
I'd definately get another one if I could, only 12v though, don't have a need for 24v until now, so keen to hear ...

I've got a 6.5 Turbo with a T700R in one of my 80s. Bought it with the engine conversion done, have had some issues with it along the way, the standard auto (T700) couldn't handle the torque, so I've now just put a full modified auto in, the injector pump from factory was too small, so with a new ...

Huh, there's even one in Central QLD. Will have to get some cars together and see if anyone wants to participate.
I know we'll get some together to do a run up to at least see it happening.

Where does everyone stand with Registration. I've been modifying the car getting ready for comps, and with a copper living down the road, I managed to get a letter in the mail from the Police Dept saying that I needed to put the car over the pits for a Vehicle Inspection.
It turns out that I can ...

Is there an itinery anywhere for what is happening when over the weekend for spectators?

Bump

What I did was made up bent 14mm plates and drilled holes in them so that the sliders bolted to them. This way I didn't end up with a void behind them that could rust, and there was room to get in there and hold the nuts. I used 16mm Grade 8 bolts to hold them on.
Have piccies somewhere but would ...

Don't spose anyone seen anyone running around on Sunday with a soft sided esky strapped to a wheeled trolly anywhere. It was two toned blue, about 14" cubed, two velcro pockets on the front with a plastic base and small wheels.
We finished drinking out of it at camp around 2.00am Sunday after the ...

X2

Can anyone tell me how they wired an internal control switch for the Titan Solenoid pack?
Off the three spades, the center one is earth, and the other two are in and out, how is this wired?

half a laptop strapped to the cargo barrier (broken screen removed), gps mouse on the roof, DC-DC power supply, USB external HD for mp3/maps/divx etc, 8" touch screen on the dash, remote power button, pcmcia wifi with roof mounted antenna, roof/rear view/under car webcam, bluetooth for phone, main ...

Yeah, we must be behind the times, cause I got a 3440 and I got all the extra channels for most of Central QLD. It can be self programmed and scanned so I just set them myself.
If you're programing channels, I would make sure that there is at least one that you know the frequency of, as we use it ...

according to the sales dep at work, they got to go down to werribee and test drive them ova a offroad coarse they are ifs front, torsion bar with a hydro system that is supposed to counter act the action of the oppisite side, they said they had a patrol ova the same course and in parts the patrol ...

MMM one of these would sure make a good tow rig for the lux i'm thinkin seriously anyone know of 80's with chev v8 deisel conversion.

Have you got questions in reference to the V8, or are you looking a buying one. I got one, but buggered if it is for sale, he he, love it too much.

To all those ...

I've gone from using one of my GXL's as a toy, to using my DX as a toy, and I've even considered swapping the transfer and diffs over to make my DX constant.
Fuel economy wise, I know a few who have done the swap to part time, and there was no change, one being a petrol and I thought if any, this ...

Any oil leaks... looseness in front wheels...

Drop the oil, cheapest first check. Then come back with results. Keen to see where this goes.

Cheers
Corry

Yeah, I'd love to do that, the only hassle I got is fitting another alternator in there. With all the oil coolers and the V8, there isn't that much room left.
At this stage I'm wondering how I'm going to fit the third battery in.

Thanx for the reply,

Corry

Depends on what you are towing. I can tow my tinnie OK, 4m, maybe weighs 500kg, but if I hook up my ski boat, 5m, Chev powered, weighing around 13-1500kg, it kills the economy, but does it easy.
I don't take it easy either, I set cruise and make it do anything it has too to remain on 110kph ...

I've done a search and am unable to find any info on setting up a triple battery set up.
I'm setting up a 24V winch and am thinking that I can run two batteries that are devoted to the winch and connect them up to give me 24V. I am also wishing to run a third battery that will be devoted to ...

I recently bought a car from NSW and bought it to QLD, rego wasn't transferable, at least thats what I was told, and I had to go through the usual hoops when registering an unregistered vehicle.
I would make contact with RTA, I think that is who you have down there, and get something off them about ...

Everyone has their own love for a tyre. I was in awe of the claws about 5 years ago when they were becoming big up here. I envied for a set but at the time couldn't afford them. I had to stick with my 33/12.5 BFG Muds.
One of the blokes I was driving with then was running them on a car that was set ...

2 inch is just a rough guide.... the actual queensland rule WAS 30 percent increase in bump space increase.

But find what the factory bump stop clearance is. I tried to find it for a Cruiser and ended up hitting a brick wall every time.
I was surprised that a body lift and a spring lift can be ...

Well, I have a 24v version of the 7.8hp motor, and a new solenoid set up in the freight on the way over. Will be interesting to see how it goes.
Figured a new motor won't go astray, and if the Premier can't handle it, I'll bolt it onto a 9.5XP and see what happens there.

Just now gotta set the car ...

Yeah, I've just ordered a new set of BFG M/T's and have to wait a couple of weeks for them. I'm glad I've done it now, don't like playing guinea pig with this sort of thing.

Cheers, have made contact.
