Outer Limits 4x4 Board

was gunna suggest timing but if youve change the dizzy you would have done the timing then, so im no help at all

dont know whats going on , but make sure you use a 12v test light when looking for this kind of problem and not a volt meter. Start checking with the lights connected at the light and work your way back checking both sides of and connectors and relays. Sounds like some sort of dodgy connection to me.

Had a camry that did this just after the missus cooked it and stuffed the head gasket

got mine local ARB for $1050 including GST bout 2 months ago so they will move a bit on price

kincrome one looks like the one ive got, different brand though, POS, dont really know why ive still got it ?

OK, got email back quoting $195 via USPS, so total would be about $970 AU delivered to my door. Quite a saving really I reckon!! :P[/quote] just bought arb air locker $1050 local, rather pay the extra $80 than muck around with shipping , insurance etc. If there's anything wrong with it I can just ...

trust the gps not your speedo

As far as i've found out the 3litre turbo diesel is an import model


thought all surfs were import, do you mean 2.8 4runner?

disconnect the small one , bridge the positve on the starter to were the small wire came off and see if the starter works.
and no there isnt an earth wire, earth through the body of the starter

did you check the contacts had been put in nice and flat. If they are cocked up one way a bit, this happens when the contact twists while doing up the nut, the plunger wont contact the other side .

I started with an auto locker in the rear and then put an air locker in the front. Auto locker works well but in the future i will relace it with an air locker, sometimes it would be good to turn off the rear.

If ya can get a drill in there, drill the top off the bolts, done this a few times before.

head or head gasket fuked

4 inch is heaps wont need any more, heres a pick , got the camper on but sit about the same

hi beam circuit should be wired to switch the relay. use your switch to open and close the circuit (hi beam) to the relay to turn the driving lights on and off.

few on ebay, might be someone local

number 4 here with no probs after 250,000 k's with turbo fitted @ 80,000

when I had my lux there was no mods for the snorkel to fit, just flexable pipe like the pics above.

only if the starter cable is too small, and your already making it longer so voltage drop maybe a problem

try disconnecting the alt after youve charged the battery and see if it still drains the battery . Sometimes a short in the alternator will do this, other wise check for drain with a multimeter, disconnect negative and put the meter in line(between the terminal and the battery post) select Amps DC ...

i got km2s and really like them, but mates have mtz and like them too.Dont think you could go wrong with either, but im a bfg man myself.
Km2s seem a bit better off road but dont seem to be lasting as long as the old style bfg mudder

ive just got the base model tough dog damper (not RTC) , which come with the kit and had no probs with 4inch lift and 35's

had em in a lux , didnt last 12 months and threw them in the bin along with the crap ironman spring also 12 months old

bull shit

check the body earth near the battery

also use hitachi at work, they get flogged but seem to keep going

my opinion would be go the ranger, we have them as work vehicles and take a flogging with no dramas, and also have colardos/dmax utes which are under powered use more fuel drive like a boat and rattle like a train and have all gone back under warranty for rooted rear springs. Rangers , no probs

didnt show up with mine either but it was stuffed

the only time i had a similar problem was a stuffed head gasket presurising the cooling system and blowing coolant into the over flow bottle

The pic I posted above is of an EGT in CELCIUS.... I've been led to believe that 550C is the max in the dump pipe and that's where I've set the alarm.... I've pushed it hard towing a car on trailer and only managed to get 530C. it aint celcius on the pic of the pyro that you posted.It says on the ...
