Outer Limits 4x4 Board

When you have 180 litres on board, it reads full. It will go to half way using the first 90 litres. Then it will cut over to the second tank for the second 90 litres, and then read full again...but a little green light or something comes up indicating you are on your second tank. When this reads emp...

Here's an MQ my brother and I built to compete in:

I'm pretty sure on an ADD equipped Hilux or Surf that the front tailshaft does not spin in 2wd.....the only thing spinning is both axles/CV joints, and 1 half of the diff. The other half is not spinning cause the ADD is not connecting the axle to the diff.

Yes you need to make sure the sender and the gauge are matched to each other. I thought I could just use a fuel gauge I bought together with a long range tank from a Patrol that had the sender in it already. Wrong!! It read empty when it was full...and half full when empty. I bought a new gauge for ...

I had some chromed Sunraysia rims that the chrome was flaking off and they were rusty.

I hit them with the wire brush on the end of the drill to clean them up. Then used an etching paint. Then painted them with black killrust.

Problem fixed.

I am building my own hard floor camper in Toowoomba. A number of places quoted $4500+ for just the main canvas tent, no awnings. I have shopped areound and have found 2 more places that will do the main tent section for around $2000, plus a bit more for the awnings. So it pays to have a look around....

I haven't yet...but I will be in the next few weeks. I will be buying Rhino roof racks to mount onto the roof to start with. I will probably be using 25x25 RHS and will get someone to bend it for the corners. Will most likely use a number of hose clamps to hold it on unless someone knows of anything...

Me too...I had 2 or 3 SWB Canopies sitting in my back yard...couldn't give them away!! I think the dump guy had fun with them

I took it to an auto electrician and he said in it's current configuration it will never work. He told me of a place to go that could modify it to work. So off I trundle to a place called Photo Electrics in Toowoomba. He tells me he can rewire the resistor to make it work for around $50. Or the othe...

I have a secondary Long Range fuel tank that I'm installing in my Surf. The tank is home made and was previously installed in an MQ Patrol. The sender looks like it has been modified to suit the tank. I have a secondary VDO fuel gauge that I was going to hook it up to. Now when I have it all apart o...

I am building an offroad camper trailer. I have priced a set of electric brakes, and I think it was around the $600 mark. I would like to know if anyone has grafted disc brakes from a car or 4wd onto a trailer? I know I can get electric or hydraulic brake kits including hubs and everything I need bo...

What diameter is the cable?

I bought a new SPI mig welder. I couldn't sell it quick enough...was a POS

Piccies no work

Without a freight account I used Pack N Send, but when I had access to a freight account I used NQX.

Not cheap, but also depends on how far out of the way it has to be sent to etc.

With cable at least 50kgs...without around 30-35kgs. I have posted a number of these around OZ using couriers.

Hi all...Has anyone used the PWR water-air barrel intercooler?.Or can tell me if they are any good?...Ive got a 79 series with a 1HZ with an MTQ turbo fitted...It needs to be intercooled,and ive decided water to air is the best method IMHO,and i want to do it without spending a fortune. Volvo marin...

Any idea where most of the competitors will be camping?

What do you call a fortune? I would have thought the PWR intercooler would be $1500+? Any idea what it actually costs?

Tell him he's dreaming

I made a 3" stainless snorkel for my 351 Bronco, and IMO it did not get enough air. I think it would have run a lot better with twin snorkels for sure.

I think you mean $500 to install it only...separate from the price of the locker....right?

Go water to air...properly set up these are so much better than air to air. Think about this: get 2 red hot pieces of steel. Take one of them and wave it around in the air for a while. Take the other one and dunk it in a bucket of water. Which one is coolest afterwards? There's your answer....by a l...

I'm looking for anyone that has the Prado or Hilux (not Surf) with the 3 litre 1KZ-TE motor that lives around Toowoomba. I have the Surf and I want to check clearance around the back of the turbo near the firewall for fitment of a 3" dump pipe. EngTek do a 3" dump pipe for the Prado and Hilux and I'...

Yeah I had a crab bar fitted to my Bronco for the same reason....kiddie restraint harnesses. I think I paid $200-300 all up incl certification.

Yeah I bought one of these for the primary purpose of re-selling it to make more $$$....which I managed to achieve. I tried it out a few times and it worked beautifully. Did not weld for too long or thick plates but it did the job and was nice and compact. As for its long term durability who would k...

I owned an 84 Bronco a few years ago with the 5.8l V8. Paid $10500 for it. Was BIG...real BIG. Was good off road to the extent you could straddle large washouts without falling into them. Mine supposedly had LSD's front and rear, but they didn't work and I didn't have a chance to check em out. I got...

OK makes more sense now

heres a couple of pics of sump clearnce That doesn't look bad at all.... And that's only with a 2" body lift? quote] Umm...unless I am confused....it wouldn't make any diff if you had a 2" body lift or a 10" body lifty in terms of sump clearance. Lifting the body does not lift the motor away from t...
