Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Seems its a special tool, and I might be able to get around it with screwdrivers and a bar.

Anyone know what size socket is required for the front hub nut?
Or if it is indeed a nut, looking at the workshop manual it looks like a ring with holes in it, which might require a special tool.

Can anyone shed some light before I start stripping it down.

Cheers.

For my Rodeo I'd go a 5.7 LS1 for
a) Its been done before by Bruce Garland
b) Has a "small" size and weight to fit the engine bay
c) Has in the right spec, up to twice the power at the fly than the 3.2 V6.


However, If it there was a balls out option.. a current model Chev 6.2L Supercharged would ...

Just saw this pic from Fenton_LT over at 4wdA.

Same colour as mine, with the sport flares, and safari snorkel on a 3.0tdi. Still a lot of black plastic along the guard but that doesn't look too bad!

Might have to ...

Sudso, Safari always have made a snorkel for Diesel R9 2.8
They are of the design that comes right along the guard and in next to the indicator.

Not for the V6 however.

Whether these could be adapted for the V6 no one will give an answer on.

The best I have found is this one.
The airtec from ...

Thanks for linking me Craig, you beat me to it

theRobdog, what does it look like? Is it really long and travels the length of the front guard?

This is the one I've been wanting to source. Then custom fit it for the V6.
This guy had to modify the outer skin on the MU guard to get it to sit flush, so it should fit the Rodeo no worries, its just ...

Where did you get this from? Was it custom made my yourself or someone else?

I wouldn't mind one, but I'm in Hobart so bit hard to pickup.

Thanks Bundy, I'll keep it in mind. The hose I have seems to be going well so far. Had 125PSI in it for 12 tires, it was pretty hot but didn't leak or come off.

Strangely enough after 4WDing for 5 years I've never had to use an electric compressor to air up. Mainly because I've rarely aired down in ...

Thanks guys. Certainly many posts on here have helped, i've just managed to piece it all together.

The switch wasn't cheap :< I should have just bought a genuine ARB compressor switch from what I've seen of the prices. $20 if thats right?

The Carlingswtich Contura from Jay Dee was $29 including ...

Engine driven air compressor aka Homemade "endless air"

What
Modified Sanden SD-508 air conditioner compressor from a Mitsubishi/Chrysler Sigma.
8 cubic feet per minute air flow.
Nitto air couplings and a 10 litre tank.

How
Certainly the biggest mod I have done so far. Over a year in the ...

Thanks Rainsey. From the TJM website it says this snorkel was used on the 4cyl petrol and diesel model R7 and R9.

Just gotta see if I can source one for the right price now. The local TJM megastore in hobart have quoted $545 for one :/
I'm hoping for around $450.

The way I see it is you have a couple of things in your favour.

You have a fuel pump that can handle much more than the G13BB needs. ie stock flow rate for a VL commo would be much more than a 1.3L 4Cyl. So increasing the fuel pressure shouldn't worry the pump too much.

Secondly, are there any ...

I have finally seen out on the road the other day the perfect snorkel. It was the Airtec on a R9 2.8 diesel Rodeo.
Usually snorkels for the Rodeo come all the way along the guard and enter right beside the headlight, which in my opinion look rather poor.

Just wondering if anyone has one of these ...

Nice work Bruceh. Goes to show what you can do when someone puts a few minutes of actual brain power into job.

Damn that's rude of Holden.

H3's have the same IFS as a Rodeo???

They are built on the GM Mid size SUV platform

1998 V6 Rodeo

There is a hilux body on GQ chassis in Hobart. Running a Toyota 1UZ V8 with Supercharger.
A lot of custom work has gone into it though I believe.

I believe the LT and Sport models came with a bigger centre console with lid. Hope this helps.

I have actually pulled mine apart, haven't got pics just at this moment though.
I did give it a thought today though. It would be possible I would think to machine one up. But... unsure what the cost would be, or whether anywhere local around here would even give it a look?

Having exact diagram and ...

He called Sanden directly.
But thats not to say other places would have it stocked. I tried Jayair.com.au They quoted $265 for a clutch/pulley assembly, but again didn't have stock.

Only other thing would be to try repco or bursons but I doubt if specialist A/C places (Heatcraft, Jayair) dont have ...

Official word is in. Sanden no longer make or stock a PV6 pulley from the 9540/9546

So I either have to find a SD7H15 8099
or see if endless air will sell me a pulley (as they have it as a catalogue item for the EA80 a SD508 if what I have read is right)

or find a complete SD508 9540

Quite the ...

It turned up...
Upside down in a raveen in remote bush 100k from Hobart, the running gear hacked off it.
diffs, with air lockers, tyres, springs etc.

So sad.

Well I've found a compressor. Just have to see if the PV6 clutch from the 9540 model will fit on the 8390 model I have. And if in fact you can still get a replacement clutch for these models.

Yep I think I get it now. Thanks Scott.

But it works correctly so I'll leave it as is. Just have to remember what should happen when I do a loom upgrade soon

Speaking of the above wiring diagram.. Can anyone tell me why everything I have seen and read has shown the lowbeam as the top middle pin on the H4 connector... yet when I tested it on my 1998 Rodeo... it is actually the Highbeam, and low is the side connector.

I would have though that H4 is H4 and ...

I was looking for the exact same thing just recently.

I put an email out to a few distributors of the Carlingswitch Contura II switches. These are the exact same ones as the ARB air locker switch

Found a retail place in Melbourne that can sell them for $17.50 + GST and shipping

Does anyone have A/C on their 3.2L V6 rodeo, and is able to give a picture of the bracket,
Or perhaps just discribe the style of bracket.
Does it mount the compressor with "ear" mounts?

ie, something like this http://www.mcs.net.au/~grungle/pictures/accessories/compressor/grungle/endless4_a.jpg ...

Thanks mate.
Looking at the bosch belt guide the Telstar had a 5PK belt for A/C and the modeo 6PK. So the Modeo could be a posibility. Now just gotta find a wrecked one

Well after a quick hunt around at lunch I found a place that has a couple of SD508. However they had V belts.
Thought I would give heatcraft a ring and see if they have a listing for a clutch/pulley assembly for a 6 multirib belt.
They took some details and said they would call me back. About an ...
