Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi everyone, I have an LN106 hilux and the gearbox has let go. There is a loud grinding metal sound in every gear. Im pretty sure it is running the standard G52 gearbox as it also has the standard 3L 2.8 Diesel. I would just like to know what is the newest hilux i could source a suitable gearbox out ...

Hey guys

Does anyone know what the going rate for 33 x 12.5 x R15 Mickey Thompson MTZ is??

Just want to know im not getting ripped off. Prices from around Melbourne would be good. Was hopeing for a special at the 4WD show but all i got was full retail listed from the guys book!

Cheers

Cheers, thanks for the info So this means that 32nb has an inside diameter of around 35mm? Im just finding it hard to follow, as i cant see what the correlation is. I would have assumed 32nb would have a 32mm ID and 25nb would we 25mm ID. Many sites list it as heavy walled and thin walled but dont ...

Im still a little vague on this whole Nominal Bore caper. Just want to get a little more info before i head off to the steal joint and make a fool of myself. I have read in a post that "25NB slips into 32NB close enough" what are the measurement of these 2 pipes in mm? Also if i go and ask for 2 ...

I am after the same information as i have been wanting to make one of these for a while.

I might just be a little slow, but what does "schedule piping" mean and also the terms 25nb and 32nb?

Hi I just had to do my rear ones. $80 per side seems a bit steep. I picked up a wheel bearing kit (bearing and all seals) for $38 per side. From BWS Bearings in ringwood. I know of the backyard way to do them but i just couldn't be bothered. i just pulled the axles and brought them to the local 4x4 ...

nice one. look foward to it.

mines the rig further up on this page. just look for the post by me

its not much compared to yours. still needs a lot of work to get it to where i want it to be.

hey kinglakekustoms. love ya work!!

PS... are you from Kinglake?? im from Hurstbridge. love to head out with ya once my car is worthy of course

that what i had figured about better feel. i have never driven anything with braided lines before. maybe i should keep it that way so i dont know what im missing ;) at the moment i have them exteneded buy joining 2 lines together. i want to replace this with a single line. the join doesn't fill me ...

i have just recieved my RHD high steer kit from sky. looks the goods

i went with the complete kit. came to around $650AUD which was High steer arms, tie rod, drag link, tie rod ends and pitman arm.

now i just have to get it home and fit it

i need to extend my brake lines in the search of more travel i am trying to decide wether it is better to just get standard extended lines or should i go for some braided stainless steel lines Are the braided lines that much better?? i have heard that they are not as strong. or aleast the allpro ...

thanks mate, cheers

i bought this car having never done anything like it befoe. figured the best way to learn was to jump in the deep end

just dont look too closely at it, shes far from perfect, built to battle the bush

Mine Bought Damaged from auctions 3 years ago Stock 3L diesel, 3inch body lift, IFS rear springs, 2" front springs, 33" BFG Muds Next on the list : High steer - (have the kit, just need to install it), lift blocks for rear and wrap bar, 35's and gears to turn them. hope ya like http://i53 ...

they were like $220 USD so around the $300 AUD mark buy the time i had them shipped to me here in canada.

A bit cheaper than what i can get them for at home ;-)

sweet as!!

thanks guys ;-) just wanted to make sure they were correct. i now have a high steer kit to install when i get home. cant wait!!

Miss my 4x4ing back home. im also going to get some braied brake lines while im here, stuff is a lot cheaper. can anyone recomend any in particular??

thats what i keep thinking

they assure me they are correct.

can anyone else confirm this or post up some pics of there own mounted high steer kits?? i wont to get this sorted because it will be impossible once its 3 months after i have bought it and im back in australia

I just recieved my high steer kit from sky manufacturing. Just wanted to know if these are the correct arms? right now im in canada and cant go put them next to a right hand drive car to check. In my head they seem to be tappered the wrong way/ Tell me what you guys think from these photo's, i can ...

interesting..... this is the route i was going to go but didnt think it would work as everyone seems to run an 80 series arm.

Do you have any pics of the front setup on your rig??

Have you extended bumps stops or anything like that?

Thanks

what are you using now whitenight for your set up???

this is an option. from what i have read, 80 series arms are hard to come by on there own. mainly asking because im am traveling at the moment and have access to all the goodies USA has to offer and can simply bring them home. Just need to know what the best option is for a pitman arm and then see ...

will an aftermarket pitman arm from the USA for on an australian model?? I understand that the LHD High steer arms dont work (angle the wrong way) but what about the pitman arm? specifically the http://www.sky-manufacturing.com/ one. Ideally what type of drop do i want on my arm?? The car is an ...

Cool drop bear. once ive got some details i'll let you know.

So Basicly, just common sence. mirror image of a left hand drive set of arms should work fine?

I just wanted to make sure reguarding the rise and tapper of the arms.

Anymore info anyone has will be great.

Thanks

thanks for the info guys.

im guessing i'll be running somthing easy to obtain back home in the land of OZ. What ends and pitman arms do people usually run on there set ups??

The aim is to get a good quality (yet still cheap ;-) setup. what would be my best option??

thanks redzook.... :roll: i figured that one. he said he could do some right hand specific ones. (Wont hit tyres). just need to know if the way they attatch to the knuckles is different Basicly, is it the exact same diff with left hand drive? from these specs i should be able to get some made. I ...

Hi all Im traveling in canada and have met someone who makes left hand drive high steer arms. Hey says he can make right hand drive arms. I just want to know exactly what the difference is with left hand drive arms and right hand drive arms. Is the stud pattern the same?? cone washers the same ...

so magnum 60's you say. do these have reasonable travel as i doubt a truck would flex that much

if they fit the bill thats what i think i'll be getting. dont spose anyone has a part number for these or a place i can start hunting for them?

i was thinking of cutting and gusseting some box section to make the lower mounts. would only cost a bit of time.

is it ok to weld onto a diff without draining the oil?

is there anything major i should keep in mind?

thanks for the reply Aza Ive been following your build up for a while and love where its heading. the only thing that had been turning me off the rancho's are the price (and the lack of money i have :cry: ) At the moment they are std rear springs, but soon will have 40mm lift blocks to level it out ...

Hi all ive done the clasic IFS springs in the rear of an LN106 with 200mm eye to eye shakles. im now in the process of doing a U-Bolt flip and putting the shocks in a / \ arrangment. what i would like to know is what shocks should i run (need to be cheeper end of the scale, funds are lacking!!) how ...

just done this swap to the rear of my rig.

the loss in height has mad her sag in the rear, so im thinking of putting in some lift blocks.

anyone got some pics of there trac bars??

Drop Bear??? have you started yours yet
