Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Have had a chat to an auto engineer in Sydney. He sees no issue with Land Cruisers and Patrols having 35's, and is willing to consider the 4 door Wrangler for 3" and 35's.

Keep you posted.........

Hi guys,
Got a JK 4 door CRD coming at the end of the month, and wanted to see what I can get away with legally.......

Does anyone know if the replacement arm 3"lifts are legal in Aus? Like Teraflex or Full Traction?
Are they legal post engineer report, or just not legal at all?

And while I'm ...

Got a part no on the Billies, John? Or did you use cruiser shockers too?

I think (hope) it's just T25....... 'Spose I'm gonna find out soon.....

Yep, VNT25. New old Garrett stock.

Made for a petrol 2.2 litre 4 banger. Although it worked best from 3,000rpm up. Given fabricating a manifold is quite a job, I'm wonder if I shouldn't just pinch a turbo off a Merc Sprinter and graft that on instead?

Another reason to go the Sprinter turbo is ...

Just looking to fit an old VNT in place of the stock hair dryer.

The one I have is a Garrett off a 90's Dodge. The inlet housing is the same AR as the Rover Garrett, .48.
The Dodge exhaust is .63.
The Rover exhaust is .47.

Any one know what the doifference on the exhaust side will do to the way ...

PM'able then?

That's what I was thinking. Although there's not much I can't get waaaay cheaper from the US...... Sad really. We pay way too much for what is available globally and it has nothing to do with smaller markets. It's got more to do with us being silly enough to pay the price we're forced to.

Are ARB made here?

I know Macnamara's are.

Would like to hear of anyone who's used 'em or is/is not happy with 'em.

Nah, dude's running three Hiclones.

Is the metal gasket the standard Rover one, or a special order?

Was considering same, then found:

Going one of these now.

Although just read the Lamionova thread.......

I'm after a set of rear shock mounts and diff guards. deliver to Sydney.

Let us know how you go! Thanks.

When're you coming to Sydney!?

Then this one's for you!

I was going to do this, then bought a more hardcore car for offroading and the mrs has expressed a desire to be able to drive the Disco. So that means auto conversion......

Sweet, thanks mate!

Just wondering if anyone knows about putting bigger motors on these?

Standard is 4.2 hp. Wouldn't mind a 6.........

Ideas?

So no need for a circlip, or is that behind the flange somewhere?

Keith from:

Nice bloke.

No circlip on outer axle shaft. This locks it in pace of the circlip.

At least that makes sense!

saginaws use a ball pivot with spring loaded half moon bushes to locate the centre much stronger setup and last a lot longer .I keep all types of double cardons in stock.

Got any idea on $?

Thinking of modding my Rover shafts, are these flanged? Will be welding them on in place of the Rover ...

I'd put a new full timing belt and pulley kit in it.

As for the head, corrosion inhibitor, new hoses, fan hub, new thermostat and a rebuilt radiator should keep it happy. Just don't ever get it hot!

Whoa back there fellas.......

It's just the internet!

That's if you can get the buggers tho!

Down to 59GBP each and 80GBP in freight. Total under $500AUD for a brand new pair. Aussie supplier was considerably more, plus GST + freight. These are coming from Mailorder 4x4. Paddocks also sell them at 60 nicker as well.

Not gonna do brake lines yet. Got ...

Vented brakes do prevent brake fade, not increase stopping power.

But you do get slotted rotors with vented rotors, which do improve stopping power. Don't think you get them with solids?

Also the 46mm piston calipers don't fit the solid rotors, which is the main reason I'm doing this.

Karcraft was 1st port of call. No good on calipers.

Have to actually work today, so haven't chased others yet!

i think graeme coopers might do a adapter kit for your solid (calipers) to fit vented discs. check there web site i think its on there

Thought about that, but the caliper still has the smaller pistons. This thing does not like stopping, so the bigger Defender calipers are necessary.

Will try ...
