Outer Limits 4x4 Board

i have the standard 16x8 gxl rims. maybe have something to do with bump stops.

doesnt help but had mine on the scales the other day, 2650kg but has alloy bar with winch, roof cage, draws full of s#@t, rear tyre swing..... i would guess atleast 300 to 400 kg lighter without all that stuff. rego sticker reckons 2960kg, work that one out.

Hay guys, got a 4" old man emu lift and have been ruinning 285/75R16 with no problems. just got a set of 315/75r16 and they have removed the paint from my inner wheel arch and chassis on the rear. my brother had a 100 series and got the offset changed on his rims to fit 35's at $75 per rim. does ...

Changed Oil, within first 30KM could not get 5th gear, after 30 km could not get into any gear. dropped the oil and tried several other types and grades of oil. i went back to my first suspicion of a worn bush in the selector. i removed the selector and found the bush the selector swivels on was ...

clutch fluid is good.Thanks, will change oil and see how it goes.

i have an 80 series landcruiser which is hard to change gears, it does not jump out or crunch gears. you need to find the sweet spot for it to engage in gear, i have heard that the bush were the gear lever goes into the gearbox is a common component to wear. any one had this issue or know the best ...

Front and rear diffs are different, front lokka wont fit in rear...

the car will become my daily driver, i currently have 3 car rego's and 2 bike rego's and need to get rid of 1 so i can buy another bike for my wife.

Any one recently or not so recently purchased a part time kit and lokka for the front of their 80,
considering getting one myself, what brand did you get, how much did it cost
and what can you say about them ie, good bad etc

Hey guys, Ive got a mate thinking of buying a 4wd. His main use will be towing a race car (approx 1800kg combined car and trailer). Looking for suggestions on make/model petrol(gas) or diesel, man or auto. He's got a budget or about 10 grand. Currently using a au falcon sedan, and it can get a bit ...

cheers, my brother changed the offset on his 100 series to make em stick out futher (bout -25 to -30) to fit 35's without rubbing, was hoping they were slightly negative.

i have a 93mod 80series and am looking for a second set of rims for my car. finding it really hard to find GXL steel rims( or any 16" landcruiser rims) anywhere close enough to wollongong. how different is the 16" nissan patrol rim offset compared to landcruiser. i have heard about Patrols using ...

i had a set of 15inch sunnies, they also touched the front calipers, wouldnt recomend grinding your calippers down, my mate works at toyota, had a cruiser come with gound calippers to fit 15Iinch tyres n when they fitted new pads the wheels wouldnd go back on coz the calliper then stuck out further ...

i marked out my circle in texta and drilled a series of small holes just inside the line and cut between them tin snips, then used a half round file (could use a big round file) to smooth it out,

its a 93mod 1FZ-FE, thanks for your coments, i know how to adjust the timing was just curious about what the setting should be, dont really want to go as far as a dyno tune the pocket is really empty after fixing the head, ill start at 3deg and see how i go.

hi guys, i just got my head fully serviced with all new exhaust valves and seats, its time now to find a happy medium with my timing to suit pet and gas, anyone out there with the same set up who knows what the set there timing at.
cheers

nar the head blots were prity tight, the head gasket was slightly distorted may have been a cheap gasket or even possibly overtightend. head is getting checked out skimed and valve clearance redone, ill let you know how it goes.

ok here is another thread that starts with,,, i know this has done before but here goes, i got a duel fuel 80 series cruiser, i drove my car on petrol for about 20 km's, runs rough on pet and am booked in to get the injectors cleaned, any way i filled up the gas tank went back to gas, it drove fin ...

definantly do a bolt on system, if the car is road regersted (i assume that it is) and is has any value, then welded on side steps can make it fail inspection with the only way to then pass rego is to change your chassy. $$$ not to mention that this can create weak points in your chassy opening ...

oh and the fans only cost me $35 when they wanted $110 for an au falcon 1

hi brad, i have put duel thermo fans into my 80 series after the original fluid drive coupling didnt work so good.and i had overheating probs with it. i used the duel fans out of a nissan maxima the have duel speed and i have a switch to either have them off, both on low or both on high, turning ...

i just changed mine, cant remember the size but if you contact toyota im sure they will be more then happy to help,, if ur sourcing parts before you pull it apart then ur prob better of just buying a genuine 1 for 8 bucks instead of running around trying to find a cheaper 1,,

The light is actually a "homosexual driver warning" light. If the light went out its prob cause the bulb blew... if this is the case,, the light was only ever on when my brother drove the car, lucky its not a standard option on suzuki's otherwise the light would be a permanent distraction for you.

i have 3" lift with 33's only mod is return to center steering damper $140, i got casterbushes but never installed them as the car drove fine, if you want it to feel like a car.... buy a car.

if you look hard enough for will find a bargain, i picked up my 93 gxl 4.5lt for $6750 the previouse owner had a burnt out valve seat repared at 260k i bought it at 270k and addad an upper cylinder lubricator kit, n have had no trobles since now has 310k+

i have a 93 mod 80series gxl 4.5 pet/gas. the engine light is on more oftern then off, the car has oil, coolent, alternator is charging, has oil pressure, is not overheating etc,,,, could it be air lock in the cooling system that needs to be bleed and if so how, or a fault behind the dash which i ...
