Outer Limits 4x4 Board

So much for cheap 5.29s eh?

3in bodlylift, torsion bar tweak, and rear shackles... then your done pretty much

Is it made out of a fiberglass or the fancy material like ARBs?

It is possible , the price is OK , and the only question is :
How many of us are REALLY interested in those gears ?

Better off getting a small batch made, there's quite a few mitsu owners that say they want em but when its really time...... they don't or atleast that's my experiences.

Id be ...

I agree with Spicoli, dont need to touch the steering or brake lines as I have also done a 2 '' body lift on the MJ with the only worry being the gearbox selectors fouling the tunnel, I purchased the exact same kit from EBAY from the same bloke and there is nothing else to spend, good kit. The ...

They bodylift easy as hell. I've done two 3in to similar models only thing I had to do was wack the trans tunnel down so I could get all my gears.

Brakelines n steering don't worry bout em.

8" lp with 5.29s is what Id do simplicity the main reason that CADs just another thing to bust.

Over here if we got the 8in hp with the CAD (central axle disconnect aka vaccum thing) we swap em for a 8in hp without CAD and 4.90s out of the US montero sport

Nice Iwan!!!!!

2 things tho

Hope the material your torsion bars are made out of are suitable to be welded and you didnt loose all your spring rate by welding them and gettin em hot.

And why the hell did you keep your auto hubs? Part of the government regs? Seems like an awful lot of work to keep ...

We never got shorties in the states Iwan. So its lwb or none at all.

...We have stocks for this model(MB241981),if only 2 sets which will be sent by courier,I have just checked the DHL,the courier fee is US198...

Have you the contact and email details of this company ?
It is not in the list of companies I am in contact with.

I found em here http://www.alibaba ...

My email log with the fellow:

What price is it in USD? Delivered to my door in the States.

Dear Sir,
Thanks for your enquiry.

Tks&Rgds.

I'm sure this is old news to you folks but, in my emails to that guy he says he will gladly ship me 50 or 100 gear sets at a time. But is willing to ship just the 2 I asked for. Quoted me a 198USD shipping charge, still versus getting from the factory its massivly cheaper

Lemme know if you end up ordering a set, if there for real or not. My 91 l200 would be up for some 5.29s specially for a 30USD.

And I thot 4.625s were gonna be an improvment over my 4.22s

EDIT:

Read this thread: http://www.4x4wire.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=199675&page=0&view=collapsed ...

Unless you can 100% confirm that the timing belt has been replaced recently, I'd do it.

When a 3.5 DOHC breaks a belt, it can get gory involving pistons and valves.

I have a feeling the problem with the alternator is that there down low and susceptible to lots of mud water and gunk getting in ...

Its either gonna be a 4.22 or a 4.636 in the gen2, or atleast thats how itd be in the states but you guys got 4.88s and other ratios in there.

But the besides the point, hes swapping F&R axles........... I think

Nice Iwan!!!!!!!



So uh......... Does it run yet?

Full hydro on IFS I would would be ridiculous. Probly just help tear up the front end some more. Ive seen some full hydro conversions on SAS'd monteros not stockers tho.

If they manage to climb down into the motor bay and look at your motor mounts, there way to serious bout there job :D

I take it you cant do a custom fuel cell for your rig? Due to regulations and what not. I think that would be what I'd do in this situation if doable.

Iwan, I did headgaskets on ...

Good work Iwan

Perhpas just cut out the middle of the 3.5 x memeber and weld into the 2.6 x member. Grind the visible beads smooth and paint it be hard to tell apart...........hopefully.

You folks in other country got weird vehicle regulations.

One of the turbos is gona hit right on the steering column. I'm told you can take the turbos and swap them to clear. But yes itd be easy I think.

There like a 13sec quarter mile kinda car stock to........ :drool:

If you could just get the auto 5spd bolted up to the 3.0 youd think you had alot of power. That lower first gear would be great for 4hweeling. Tho from what I hear itd be a pain to get hooked up

But the 3.8 would be hard to pass up also. Best of luck to you and the jabber

No, as I recall different spline counts. Assuming there both 8in diffs.

I have a feeling the diesels have stiffer spring rate. But the thing with the torsion bars is there mountings positions for them, varies quite a bit.

That site will tell ya a bit. With torsion bars and there legnth diameter and what not. Dont forget Pajeros ...

Gonna want to check the differences between 5spd and auto propshafts. In particular the U joints.

Not sure what your talking about inverting think you mean it goes from: / to \ but not sure.

But here in the states last time I checked on ebay they do sell teraflex revolving shackles that will work on this model triton found here http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TeraFlex-Dodge-Raider-Revolver ...

Purpose of doubling your transfer cases is:

Remember how your truck pulls when you put it in 4low?
Generally it can pull its self out rather easily.

With 2 of em you can have that low gear x2 b/c the front one is in low and feeds the next one its already low gear then you can even lower that un ...

Nice work Iwan!!!! I love seeing updates to this thread :D

I doubt the crossmembers will seeing as how there different transmissions but cant honestly say yes or no.

I remember you saying your hoping to build this and possibly compete in the Malaysian RFC. Not very fimiliar with the event but ...

Cast steam pipe you say eh?

Cant imagine case would be an ideal material to use on a bumper. Since it doesnt like being hit very much.

Nice front bumper, mounting a winch to its gonna be breeze!!!! Gotta feeling doing the corner wrap around piece with that big of tube was a bitch tho.

Also love the WARN mudflaps

Havent done it myself, but on 4x4wire.com there has been a few guys primarily on SWB gen1's swap the complete gen2 drive train in. Seems pretty straight forward from what ive read/heard. Trickiest part is finding the right torsion bars. Outside of that everything bolts in from what I remember.
