Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi team, just a quick question about the 60 power steer conversion. first of all, every thread i have read as been with the 55series steering column. I dont believe i will be able to get my hands on one of these. is there another option around this? and is it used for the tilt steer in the column ...

Hey thanks shorty,

Have also heard of a bundera matched up to a hilux setup. Yet to do some further hunting into this as it seems there maybe some custom adapters to be made

looking at being a little more race ready. at the moment I am running a supercharged 5ltr and whilst it is nice and powerfull it needs a few more revs than I would like in low. after some careful consideration I and driving with a mate with dual transfer i came to the conclustion it is the right ...

Thanks for that shorty.. Can't help but feel a little disappointed though.

Hey outers, Looking into a dual transfer for my 45 series ( late model split case). I haven't been lucky enough to be able to find a supplier as of yet. I have done a few searches here and on other forums, which does provide good info but no actual suppliers and no one who has bought a kit for the ...

All good mate, I have seen what you are explaining on custom made springs before.

Thank you for all the advice though, it has all been food for thought

Will look into ultimate further thanks for that!!.

With the OME did the actually break or just sag a shit load?

Thanks for the update, I was thinking OME. It's seems to be a tried and tested brand. Bit concerning about the failures all the same. Who was supplying the ultimate brand? Or did you find them online?

Hmm ok thanks shorty,

Find it surprising no one has bought an after market pack before though... If anyone has please feel free to post up and let us know your feedback

The 45 standards work really well and have the pack pretty much down now, so I would rather stick to what works. And I want to keep it the same wheel base as the front has been extended 2", But I may look into it. Any ideas on a true and tested brand of new springs? Just a pre bought pack or is ...

I'll jump on this band wagon. Looking at replacing my rear springs in my 45 which have sagged, as no one resets spring up here in Bundy anymore. I haven't been able to find a decent suspension shop in town that knows there stuff ( everyone wants to just throw coils at it). What brands should I be ...

Hey mate you can get around he body mount issue easy enough, but a bigger issue is the cross member in the early chassis is in the way of the underbody fuel tank (later model)

How did you go zookfield? Just curious as my process may have been a little different with a fibre glass tub ect

Here is a thread i created when I was going through it

Hope it helps

Sorry to here mate, I had a similar problem with my 40, you will need to get it engineered for an LO1 from memory, there are forms on the qld transport website that you can print and start the process, Alternatively if your car is later than 85, if you contact Toyota they should have the details on ...

Fair point about being written off, but of that does happen (touch wood), I'd still get to strip the parts i want/need. As too hitting someone well i would be no worse off than i am now with out insurance. And the whole point is finding it before it gets burnt out, as I will be able to see when the ...

I have been leaning another way. From talking to some of the other guys and myself alike, we use our trucks on a daily basis still and most insurance don't want to touch our rigs. Shannon's seems pretty expensive and seems to limit the use of the vehicles somewhat. our main concern is theft and ...

Just wondering what most of you guys, particularly the more modified guys do get insurance? if so at approx. what cost and who through? I own a couple of soft top 40's one of which is pretty modified and don't like my chances and I know a few guys here in bundy that race which have the same problem ...

well my biggest issue is now tyres. I have spoken to Toyota who has sent me paper work to state that my 72 ( Chassis ) didn't come out with a placard. But now the issue is tyres. He pulled me up on tyres as they were not factory. The are too wide apparently 15 x 8 sunny's. From what I have found ...

Hey davd not to correct you because I know what you are doing, but I have a current drama regarding my blue plate and my canary sticker on my windscreen. ( see my thread under Toyota) one drama I have is my 1" body lift. I have contacted Shane at vehicle modifications and he has advised me you can ...

Haha onyone got a spare unimog tyre placard? Wishful thinking, well long story short is my mechanic and engineer had a falling out and he made a "complaint" that my car was defective because I didnt have a demister ( I'm in a soft top 45 by the way) and they did a full inspection and picked me up on ...

Hey guys thanks for the reply, I had a gut feeling that may have been the case, what do you think would be best for the qld transport inspector, pinch on off a 60 or see if he will accept that they didn't come out with one? The reason I ask is because I have been taken off the road for defects and I ...

Nothing wrong with running the 253, they rev hard and are heaps of fun, my cooks 253 will drag my 5ltr off on the beach all day. Parts are cheap and easy to source. The conversion is really easy and should only take a day or so depending on your know how. Do you know what type of conversion kit you ...

Ok so just doing some more wiring in the cooks car, I planned on re-wiring the BOSH HEI distributor in, But upon having the cook pull it out I notice is a Mallory. I'm not to familiar with the performance of the Mallory Electronic Distributors, but they do have a rep of no slouch. So what do I use ...

sorry to say mate, but NSW mod plates mean shite to the fun police up here. but as I said play dumb and you may get let off.

Don't go this way. I fought with QTrans for 6 months with mine. Either make some calls to see if you can find ...

Just for reference I have a Spartan locker in the rear of my hilux and I really don't like how it disengages and pops for that reason I wouldn't fit one to the front because I would be worried of the shock loading on my cvs I don't know anyone else running one so I dont know if its normal I have ...

No problems. Just made a phone call to a good mate of mine who just did the LO1 on my truck. As per everyone's response he won't do it unfortunately. But to be honest it's just going to be hit and miss. I know it used to be done, so it's just a matter of finding the right engineer that will still do ...

Good options mate,

On the flip side of things. I have a spare 45 chassis front and rear diffs, 4 speed box and a few other bits and pieces. Im looking at moving soon so may be an idea to do a clean out, send me a P.M. if you want any more info.

Cheers.
Luke

Thanks heaps for the reply guys. This is what I was looking at: http://www.ih8mud.com/tech/40wiring.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; While it has some really good info I it was just a bit to blurry to make out the colour codes on the diagram. Is there anyway we could add Dannyboy's ...
