Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I just use a drop of engine oil, never had a problem, need to be careful using antisieze on threads as the specified torque may not take this into account - due to the high lubricity of antisieze you can over tension bolts/studs, there is a conversion chart for antisieze torque correction.
I know a ...

I'd say anything stihl or husky, they are both probably as good as one another and dealers are plentiful - in the cheaper models they are both pretty plasticy, but thats why they are cheap and light.
Probably id go for something 50cc or so and preferrably with a 3/8 chain, youll find the 3/8 will ...

I'd use an LED torch, ive got a fenix tk40, some of the high end ones can require good batteries though, the fenix really wants 8 NiMh AA eneloops, normal AA's aren't a real good idea. Very useable beam, you really don't need to focus a beam that good, probably makes double the light of a LED 4d ...

If theyre bolts i'd run spring washers, be a bit careful if screwing into alloy, something like a keensert or helicoil would make the thread in the head stronger if you stripped it, i know loctite will break down with a flame, i'd check to see how high a temp it can handle.
I thought the manifolds ...

Mine had no dowels, the pto dog gear had no holes either, i don't think it'd matter too much, it ain't gonna be a safety issue if it 'did' break, the worm won't let the cable unspool.
The splines should handle the power used by the winch easily, i'd almost rather not be drilling into the transfer ...

I can recommend these, they are built really strong - a lot tougher than caravan style tanks.
I have the 80l slimline on the floor in the back tof the GQ, its bolted to a frame on the front and back which lets it sit above all the bolt heads on the floor ...

visionx stuff looks pretty good, the solstice uses a 10w led and comes in different beams, its 2"x2", theres a few different ones.

mines pretty close, i was pretty dubious about it when i fitted the tank, ive got 2" hd springs which sit at about 3" with not much in the car.
When i lifted the tank into place there was about enough room to put your little finger between the shaft and tank - having said that the rear susp was at ...

Something like this?

fully sic hektic dose

does sound ok, i just hate the term turbo dose

these big suckers do it too

very nice

you have to pay for 2.8 or 3.0s ?????
either stretch the budget and get the big motor
OR buy a really good 4.2 GQ
after having a 2.8 (GU) id rather drive an sd33 t MK

X 2

It aint easy to find one with low k's though, i got one 3-4 years ago with 131k on it.
But depend if you want the latest ...

also was discussing aerials with my local forby shop recently and they told me that the lower you db rating the more circular your range, opposed to higher getting further forward AND backwards.
wondering if there is anything like dual band aerials or any sort of switching mecanis,m ypu can use ...

Long Range Automotive in lilydale, i got a second hand tank and went to see them for the twin filler and the pipes, the sub tank fill pipe is a bit of a doozy, they bent it up while i waited, really good service, its a neat fit around chassis, spring, body, so if i were you i'd get the filler neck ...

this one sounds good, don't think its running much boost, as said, intake side would make a lot of difference.

also there is a limit to how much current different batteries will accept, more amps won't neccesarily charge them faster, depending on age battery design etc.
Possibly your batteries could be sub optimal, i'd start with getting them load tested.
Then maybe alternators
Or just slow down a bit ...

the switch itself is a carling switch, if you google carlingswitch you should come up with the different styles, some don't have lights, momentary action, different colours, contact arrangements etc, maybe somewhere like jaycar? ebay US? carling is what you need to look for though

Somebody on this ...

a few different people make the solid ones, most bolt shops will sell them, as said above they need a bigger hole than a helicoil - sometimes this is a problem if you don't have enought meat to go that big.

heres a keensert - same sort of thing, screw it in and hammer the tabs down - locks in ...

"Duel" batteries fight.

Two batteries in one system are "dual" batteries. Did you try Googling that? ;)

Not that spelling really matters. :finger:

yea, you read my mind!! anytime someone says 'duel' i think of two knights in armour waving swords around - thats why i clicked into this - wanted ...

I assume this is an SD33??

Commen problem on both this engine and the 4 cyl version the fuel shut off solinoid shits it self and the easiest fix is to fit a manual lever to cut the fuel. A bonnet release cord or similar is normally used.

Had a shoelace tied from the injector pump lever thru to ...

cbf typing it again, but have a look at what i typed here, sounds similar, maybe the contacts and plugs ont he control unit could use a clean?
Sounds like it has power if its turning over the little motor.

Yea, mechanically theyre pretty much totally different, an MQ rear diff centre can fit a GQ front housing with a little work - this could be handy if you had a mq lsd or locker.
Body wise the bonnet is the same apart from where the hinges bolt on, doors are interchangeable, windscreen is the same ...

If you will be doing a few deep water crossings, at the least make sure the rubber vacuator valve is in good condition.



this is a good idea, i do know that when they get old and a bit stuffed they let a bit of water in, not a lot though - have found dampened dust in the bottom of the mq pre ...

Main things i keep an eye on are things that could cause the most damage, so - temperature and oil pressure, for road driving a speedo is mandatory, and for a td a pyro readout is good.

Now, personally ive only got an oil light and charge light, ideally i'd choose to have a warning buzzer for low ...

theres a motor that controls the injector pump, it sits below the pump and is linked via a control rod, if you pop the control rod off the control motor - (have to remove a split pin, washer and spring) the injector pump should go to run mode - its spring loaded that way and the stop start motor ...

haven't tried them on 10s but had some on some 15x8's and they were great, had simex tubes also, ran around 5psi ok.
Only thing i found was that the rims turned a fraction in the tyres - not much or it would have buggered the tubes, but just enough to put the valve stems on a slight angle, could be ...

ive got the 80L slimline in the back of the gq, just fits between the wheel arches, the outlet faces the small back door, ive just got a ball valve and barbed fitting and when i want water i just push a short length of garden hose on the barb.
Its built ...

isuzu or hino diesel 6 would probably be the best for economy and driveability, cummins 6bt would be pretty cool too, and maybe not too bad a thing.
I'd love to say gm 4/71 6/71 or something similar but you'd have a lot of noise - good noise, and fuel to deal with.

UHF for car to car, HF for emergency and long range (barrett 550) my HF radio also has 27MHz programmed (LSB AM USB) which could be useful for car to car if someone else has a 27MHz set and UHF is crowded.
You also have the option of linking the HF to the phone system to call and recieve phone calls ...

It should work for what you want to do.
However I just pump to the main using an electric fuel pump and filter, made more sense to me as that way i can totally pump the sub tank out - with a 6 port it would start starving for fuel long before the sub was empty (being a gq with the long subtank and ...
