Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I cant believe the bad write up every one gives 5links
Both pete (dr frankenstine) and i run 5 links and have no handling issues at all

I had 3RDS arms fitted and then pulled tham out in favour of a wizard 5link and there where no diffrence AT ALL in handling

Im just after somthing diffrent

I havent seen any patrol utes down here in Tas so i wanna be the first
to have a go at it just unsure haw hard it would be

Thats why the ute cab came into it


GAV.

Hi all was wondering if anyone could tell me if a gq ute cab will fit onto a gq wagon chassis

Also considering a wagon chop to a xtra cab ute back

Which would be easyier ?

feed back from people that have done the wagon chop would be very convincing to do the chop

Coming up soon get ur sh!t together and be there

I recently blew a gear box in my 3.0d hilux and was wondering if a gear box and transfer from a 2.8 hilux would fit

I can get one cheap so i would prefer that option and then later on get crawler gears fitted

If any one knows it would be a great help

Done a gearbox in my '97 hilux on the weekend and was wanting to know is there a stronger replacment out there Currently running 3.0d turbo and 37'' tyres but with the standard g52 box Keeping in mind i have a chain drive transfer what would be the best box to get put in with minimal fuss Any ...

Creppy are great


I've ran TSL's, ET's and MTR's and i rate the creppys higher than any thing i've tried before

simply awsome in the lagoon you should love'm ray

All sorted blown left cv thanks for your input

How do i check which side cv has died

went out today for a lash while turning left in reverse hard down to the boards heard a pop then no front drive

What else could it be ?

I just ordered my 37in maxxis creepys and i was after some feed back on there performance in mud, rocks etc and any problems that anyone has experianced with these tyres

Thanks Gavin

I went in on the opening weekend and the one gone, It was great the one just gone piece of piss through the pig stye we heared about 10 cars bogged on saturday on the marsh so we went out to help saturday nite but no one there

Everything will bolt on except the cross over piping will not line up with air box and inlet manifold

I have one on my suzuki 500 atv and its saved my arse and others many times and its never failed

Any idea on what ratios are out there ?

Hi all

Im thinking of buying a diesel 60 later on this year and im just wanting to know what diff ratios are
avaliable as i have a set of 36in swampers to go on it or would it turn then ok and not need the ratios ?

Any help would be greatfull

I done one on mine and you have to pull the cluster out and on the top edge at the back of the cluster there is two screws side by side along with a spare hole to one side of the two and you gotta put the screw from the middle hole and put it in the spare hole and the timing belt light should go off

would at most .6 of a litre in engine capacity make such a great poblem as there are plenty of turbos of 2.4s getting about it just a matter of them bolting on or not

Hi all just asking around to see if any one has mated a turbo from a

2L or 3L to a 5L

Im after a turbo for my lux and there are a few on here that sound ok but i want to know if they will fit my 5L

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks Gavin

I got pics but can't get them on here

I done the convertion back in january and never looked back Here are some general things i used I used an '84 model diff with a 4.88 open diff centre, '86 model rears in the front with no lift, standard front shackles, ori double flip arm, home made crossmember and shock mounts, and 80 series ...

I've done it and havent looked back I done it myself with help from a mate all up it took 2 full days and thats with no experiance of anything this major, since doing that a mate of mine has done it and had the lot tacked in and waiting for a welder mate to finish it off in one day We both used ORI ...

Would a bundera control arm mounted on the top of the diff be an effective solution to axle wrap ?

I know where there is one and i've got the tools but would it work

What is the issue with the fine and course splines ?

Is there a difference in strength between hiace 5.29 and hilux 4.88 ?

Hi all

I just picked up a 5.29 hiace diff for free and was wondering what needs doing to fit this to my hilux

Are the axle splines the same as my '97 hilux

Also if it will fit how much am i looking at to buy a second centre for the front

Any help would be greatfull

I had the same problem on my hilux and i moved the shackle mount foward but then had to make longer shackles to aviod the shackle swinging back and hitting the chassis

Hypolux - i used a 75 series pittman arm after using the original IFS arm

Fitted the new pittman arm tonite and its made 100% improvement and handles alot better

Its back to 1/4 a turn to get round a corner not 3/4 like before

So thanks for your help and advise

I got a 75 series arm that's 185mm centre to centre and drops 50mm
