Outer Limits 4x4 Board

diff not breathing properly.
not enough preload on carrier bearings.
seal housing not floating on airlocker properly.
damaged o rings caused by any of the above.

your oil in the air lines will come down to at least one of these things.
who built the diff?

hey mick,i order genuine panhard rod bushes for gu patrols all the time,the local nissan dealer even keeps them in stock.

dba rotors with bendix pads will last much longer than the genuine stuff.

what sort of locker?

key rings are for keys.

why would you want to put a deflator on it?


i keep my tools in a box....not on my ring.

cheers.

passionate topic! thanx for the extra info. i would still like to hear from anyone who has actually broken either one and how or what happened to the product. my trucks running 4:6 gu diffs, and a 260kw ramjet chev so it has reasonable power. keep the info coming. cheers



at your power level,if ...

Maybe you should research the answer then fill us all in using plain language

no need to research,they are simply better.

is that plain enough for you?

are tjm even making the prolocker still?


there are none available from stockists,always on back order.
they are only made for a limited number of vehicles.

arb have a huge application chart for 4x4's throughout the world,not just toyota and nissan.

with tjm moving all their manufacturing ...

no,they are not replaceable.
a new switch is about $10 from arb.

very common on d40 2.5 td,if you tow regularly.

a friend tows 2.5t of trailer daily and has them replaced every 20 000km under warranty.

the d40 is now out of warranty and will be sold.

a customer of mine spun the main bearings with less than 5000km on the clock.
it was fixed under warranty.

they are known to split bores,which is quite expensive to fix.

all parts are very expensive.
and at 200-250km you will be replacing plenty of things.

i doubt very much the truth in your "mate" breaking two of the two piece airlockers.

the steel arb uses has a higher breaking strain than any component you would find in a patrol.

they are much stronger than the original 3 piece design and also use a larger carrier bearing than nissan use as ...

well how about you get yourself some bs136 Viton 75 and make yourself up a couple of quad rings to suit and see how you go?

there is nothing wrong with the quality or design of the quad rings that are used in airlockers,they only fail when people who ...

i don't care what you buy,but you will be dissapointed with tough dogs ride.

you will be disapointed with tough dog suspension.

it is not a very comfortable ride in late model strut suspension hilux's.

15000 km... so what?

if i get 20000km out of my tyres,i'm happy.

it's all about the circumstances the vehicle is used in.

if you don't like soft,grippy tyres then go buy a set of Coopers bricks.

those things will last forever.

terrible grip,terrible in the wet,understeer,oversteer....

but hey ...

I welded my hilux rear a few years ago,
i used an open centre,stripped the gears and bearings and welded everything
to everything.this was a 200amp mig,fully cranked,welding for 30 minutes.
it took about 2 hours to cool.
I ran it in the rear of my 83 hilux t/d for about three years with 33 inch ...

dont want to drill any holes into the body of there 4wd. i am not going to loose any sleep over it


if those pics and story don't make you stop and think how stupid it is to mount a 10 kg steel frame in your car only using m6 bolts and bits of steel from work,then you deserve what will happen to ...

the comp truck winches i have worked on are all modified warn high mounts with twin 12v 6hp motors that are supplied 24-26v.

this makes the 12v motors scream but wear out quickly.typically rapid brush wear or sometimes brush failure.

in the real world a 24 volt winch being supplied 24v will work ...

you have a problem with either diff breathing,not enough carrier bearing preload,worn o-rings,excessive seal housing movement or all of these combined.

you should take the car to arb to have it diagnosed and setup properly.

I know what you mean.
The first few i did,i was thinking,how the hell is this going to work.
Like i said,try a hilux one,(rd132),they are much worse.esp.in a cruiser front.

Gday,

Matt,the way you have run the airline is not quite right.

i can't really describe how i would change it other than saying you have run the tube too high.

i would agree that it is very difficult to set the pipe up correctly without lots of experience fitting this new style of airlocker ...

Yes there is such a thing,but many cheaper suspension kits will never achieve it!

Where are you going to get parts for an eaton when it breaks?

They are not manufactured in australia.

That's pretty shitty.

Oh shit,said it again.

Do you need a special license to carry that many grenades on one vehicle?

the time a job actually takes does not necessarily bear a lot of resemblance to the time charged - some jobs that only take 15 minutes might actually be fair to charge 3 hours - if specialist tools or knowledge are required to do the job.

in the case of reassembling a differential, there is a ...
