Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I have sprint gas VPI on my 100 series. Its an 2000mdl GXL will all options (incl sunroof) so it would be pretty heavy.

285 cooper st's, 2 inch lift, dual batts,winch, free flow exaust etc and it will get about 400km to 85ltrs on the freeway and about 360km around town. Its an auto which hurts it ...

My 2000 mdl 100 series has the vanity mirrors with lights and cup holders front and back etc etc. I have had a couple of 1FZ engines,

Service and tune helps economy,

Extractors and exhaust more power, hardly and difference to economy.

Gas is the way to go. Halves running costs.

There should be ...

Not yet mate.Have spent countless thousands of dollars on other 4wds in the past.I tend to invest money a bit more wisely these days.......Im waiting for the factory tyres to wear out then I will replace the suspension,tyres etc

Depends what your into.I bought one 6 months ago and am about to do a few mods to it for touring duties.These days I dont get much time to head off rd thats why I bought one. The only negative thing I dont like is how big the trans tunnel is.Im used to it now but its one thing to look at.Ive had a ...

Yeh as a few guys mentioned the ford motor is the go.They are virtually free as no one wants them.They are a straight 6 and im guessing they would be not to hard to fit and they have more power and torque than the commo v6.Plus they are very reliable.

Id get the latest one I could afford and fit it ...

I have a 3 inch lift and 16 inch rims at 15mm offset and run 315 radial claws.They only just just touch under full flex.I have some flares on it as the tires stick out 50mm from the body.Im very happy with the ride and height is tops for every day use.

Ive had them as work cars.They went better than I thought and kept up with the traffic
fine and sat on the freeway fine.For a standard car they are tops off road and I wouldnt hesitate to tour in one.Not sure on the towing side of things but over all they are a great car.The ones we had were brand ...

Why is the wagon cheaper than the troopy? Dosent make sense.2700 for factory lockers is good.The 4 door would make an excellent 4wd with factory lockers some good suspension and tires

Ive had a few sets and liked them. They are quiet compared to my mtrs on Rd.As an all rounder I thik they are great.

Glad I didnt fit it then.

I was going to have it fitted to my 80 series but I couldnt get anyone to insure my cruiser once it was installed.So I went with ARB's again.Was about 1500 each end ftted.

I wonder if the couple of people on here saying 80's are weak have ever had one? Or are they just jawing off about what they hear.Theres a reason 2.8 and 3.0 patrols are cheap to buy and 80s expecially the last turbo diesels are still expensive.

For 20k 80 any day

I had them in the front and rear of a suzuki I had.I liked them only felt the rear lock up on the road if I turned full lock into a car park etc.All it did was click nothing bad.As stated the front made steering hard if it was locked and your trying to turn on rocks etc.

Look in the US mags.People have been running big HP diesels for years using Nitros,huge turbo's etc.Ive seen in their mags trucks such as f250s pulling some wild quarter mile times.The US is always the place to look

Dubs

They are pretty common in places like Dubai.Not a problem finding them just getting them here.

Ive had 3 rigs with airlockers and had no maintanance

Had 1 Lokka destroyed my diff when it locked up the the main rd

Detroits are the poo.Quieter than a locker and I think work smoother.Id have them again.

If on a budget Id use detroits or at least a richmond lock right and import them

I was going to have it fitted to my 80 series.Got quotes etc and I was happy to try something different.That was untill I contacted my insurance company and they wouldnt cover the vehicle if I fitted it so fitted air lockers once again.

Put one in my fj 40 a couple years ago.Inj VNSS motor.Was fine.Didnt have it for that long after I put it in but didnt have any dramas with it.It was a lot cheaper than any place I could find too

Looks like some people may have to eat their words................


Whats the blue rig there? Looks like the ute?

Cast your mind back to the 88 Nats. Green XD with 88nats plates running and injected 351 that pulled 11000rpm and made huge HP

Pitty the track was shite and he hit the bunting as soon as he started his burnout

They may have had to many issues with them too.I have had one let go on me and I know a lot of other people had the same problem.Lokkas are shit.Buy genuine

Where got torque figures to compromise a F-serires? If you claim to be one of those cheap assed salesman where is your evidence boy?



WTF???

Thats the nicest motor Ive see in a 4runner mate.Nice injection setup.


Go the clevo mate.Less cost and will go forever.Had heaps of them standard and worked.NEVER let me down.So basic yet virtually unlimited potential

Ive seen low km motors selling for around the 2500 mark.Why not get one and put it straight in.Maybe even a 100 series motor which has about another 7kw.

My pedes drove good too.Apart from the noise which wasent too bad I hardly knew they were on the rig

thats a good result mate.Why are you doing the head? Lowering compression? It should go noticably better with a mild port job

Mine drove pretty good.if you adjust your speed to suit and can handle a bit more road noise then they are fine.

chev is nice, however it's 5.7 lt and would use on gas what the 2f does on petrol currently.

308holden or 307chev would be the largest capacity I would go.

Any inline 6 options? Turbo 6 ?


Not correct mate.Unless the motors very badly tuned etc.Ive had some very strong ford engines that ...

mate that looks the goods.They look to dicky with little wheels.I rate the way that came out.Well done

Some flex shots would be good too!
