Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I've been told that the same sort of thing happens in Canberra near the radio towers at the lookout. but it unlocks and locks cars and set alarms off and hte like.

The freq, would all depend on what brand you have. If you can find the unit, they sometimes have a label stating what the freq is ...

Anyone know what frequency the remotes work on? Ballpark figure?

Have a weird problem on the M1 QLD near Wet N Wild where my indicators both come on
together for about 30secs as if you're holding down the lock or unlock button.
Doesn't lock or unlock the doors though.
No idea if the external ...

Your warranty.

You'd need enough power in the battery to open the gas shutoff solenoid.
If you want to know for sure, find out the part number of your solenoid then check the web for specs on operating voltages.

Peter Butcher will be our reporter for Outers.

Better hide the Jimmy cans from him then!

I'd be happy for the organizers to explain on the OBC website if they like.... don't care where they explain, as long as they do........ it would just clear the air thats all.
It will make next years planing easier if we all understand the rules fully as applied by the organizers.

I'll keep my eye ...

I built one in high school and used polystyrene sheets in the cavities.
You can buy 2400x1200mm sheets of the stuff in various thicknesses.
Very easy to cut. I think I just used a hacksaw blade.

they should be available to download from the CCDA website very soon.

Speaking of said website, anyone else getting this on CCDA's homepage?

Anyone seen one of those fuel consumption stickers for an '07 4.8 auto GU wagon?

Dealers don't seem to display them for the GU 4.8, yet I had one on an '07 diesel Navara.
The website is useless, nothing updated since 2003.

Just curious to their results, as I'm getting a constant 17-18l / 100klm's.

Definately would be interested to see your setup.
I'm looking at the XP9.5 but my factory bar is different to other factory bars i've seen around.
It's on a GU 6 so they may have changed things.

Worst event coverage ever.

Could put in a vacuum reservoir tank like in the Rover Maxi-Drive diff lock setup?

Lucky I haven't had my Navara in your situation!

A little off topic now...

What service stations are available close to this area?
I.E. Shell, Mobil, BP, Caltex?

Just trying to work out if I can exercise my Custom Fleet card!

The crowd is great don't get me wrong, on ss5 & ss6 i had stuff yelled at me which i listened too & changed my winching plan & worked out for the better, but when your trying to hook up winch cables & people are standing in the way thats annoying & dangerous.

I heard on the radio that spectators ...

Regarding winches, obviously the winch drum unmodified, 6hp Warn motor.
What about solenoids and batteries? Open as long as it's 12v? eg. I can run 6x1000cca's parallel?
Breathers ok? Bracing? Brake shaft mod? Alternators?

Entry form is up on the CCDA website.
There's a flyer for it in the June newsletter too.

Here's a few suggestions based on the weaknesses I encountered:

When you have the body off the chassis, stengthen the top coil spring mounts, trailing arm mounts & radius arm mounts.
Make up/buy some beefy trailing arms.
Replace/rebuild the A-frame mount on the diff housing.
Replace & strengthen ...

By default, Telstra try to use the blue & white pair for the 1st line, with the red & black being a spare pair in case the blue & white develops a fault.

What a topic this will be!!!!
Im looking at purchasing a Disco td5 and want auto.
Im selling my GU ute, and want something a bit nicer around town.
I need more info as to which model to purchase,
Do I buy 2000, 2001 or the 2002, perhaps 2003.
iS there a difference in these rigs,and what should I ...

I've done some work with industrial PLC's, but they're all 24V. For obvious reason I'd prefer 12v digital IO.

Could just get a 12-24v converter. Very cheap these days.
Check out Amtex's range. We use 8862's a lot.

Try Ontrack 4x4 in Melbourne. They make good aftermarket engine mounts to suit GQ's that won't brek.

got a picture? wont' break is a big statement. im having the same problem with mine so im interested to see what idears are around

I believe they use a trailing arm bush. Give them a call and ...

Umm, just thinking aloud out here.
If you put a kill switch between your negative battery terminal and the body/chassis, it probably won't kill everything when you switch it as the alternator will keep the motor running.
You'd need to isolate the motor's ground to chassis as well on the same switch ...

If it's a 24 spline front end it'll have dust caps in the centre of the drive flanges.
If it's a 10 spline it'll have a solid 1 piece stub axle.
1993 is the year they changed, only way to tell is the drive flanges.

Do the disco 10splines have the same drive flanges as 10 spline rangies?

Yep ...

BTW, $1000 is very rich for a 93 front diff disc to disc.

You mentioned a cut off switch?
Do you mean a switch between the battery and the solenoids?
If so what's the switch rated at?

Try removing it and connecting the solenoids directly to the battery.

Mine was ordered last week and my delivery date is 25/3/07!
Speaking to the dealer it was all due to the new radio's and looms.

Ruffy,

Don't forget that Pirahna Pursuit, Alpine, Ateco & Vicwinch all pretty much require a bit of wet weather to be challenging.
Look at Vicwinch this year!

And would you want to do the OBC or Cliffhanger in summer?
Guess you'd have to compare it to AFL maybe.
I'm sure they wouldn't want a ...

A Prado on 35 Simex, locked front and back that will destroy any similar specced Patrol in the tough stuff, and make it look boring as bat sh.t as it does it that easy.

Ducks for cover...


;)

I believe you Liam! :D

Rusty's Prado has shocked me many a time.
You better find some links to Rusty ...
