Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I need to replace the front wheel bearings on my patrol but Im not sure what type to order.

I have a 1992 type 2 GQ patrol, ST model with auto locking hubs and rear disks?

Do I need to order the Y61 GU bearings or the older style ones that have a big nut to torque them up?

Thanks

I need to buy a new clutch for a GQ Patrol. It has done around 300,000kms on what I presume is the factory clutch.

I have been quoted on a PBR clutch and a heavy duty of which I cannot remember the name. I'm told the PBR has a higher load rating then its OME counterpart.

So I guess my question ...

100% engine braking down hills will be slower. Its never going to be like a manual where, so long as the engine is running you are guaranteed the wheels are turning. It will still be possible to lock them up if you have to use the brakes.

edit on the damage: I don't think the cast carrier is broken from a gear forcing it. It looks more like it has cracked under load. The crack goes back to the pin. On both pins the holes are severely ovaled out. I think the initial crack probably happened on a particularly tough section of track and ...

on further inspection there are a few damaged teeth on the crown wheel.

Have fun installing the KAM! Yea I think its beyond us. If he goes down this path he would get LRA to do it.

Having a look at the yota kits and its all starting to look a bit expensive when you factor in buying the diff and ...

It does have abs. What does that mean in terms of options for front cv's? Sorry I found it a little difficult to work out if there are still better alternatives then stock for abs rovers?

I think I need to get him to read this thread. Im having trouble selling the toyota idea to him. ;)

FYI I ...

We are looking seriously at these lockers. They seem to get pretty good wraps on the UK forums axles and CV's can be upgraded as needed. With the GBP at its present level they look like much better value then ARB as well.

If you fit lockers, trutrac, or the like, it will fix the weakness of the stock 2 pinion diff centre.

Then the axles will be the weak link. It would be best to get 24 spline locker (or whatever above), and aftermarket axles to suit - hightough, jacmac, rovertracs, or ashcroft.

IMHO stock ring and ...

or you could buy rear axles and front axle/cv kit from rovertracks in the states, landed they are cheaper than anyother HD axle available in oz.

Only problem there is that Keith doesn't make them yet to suit Rover 24 spline. He is still waiting for the manufacturers to start production again ...

My dad just put 33x12.5" MTZ on his 1995 Range Rover Classic before the long weekend. We did some pretty hard work over the weekend however surprisingly and fortunately the rear diff broke as we were leaving camp yesterday. (fortunately only because the rest of the weekend was heaps of fun)

We ...

I wonder if suzuki would be able to tell you if you rang them? Likely scenario is that they would be unhelpful but its worth a shot.

he doesn't need measurments, he needs specifications.

go down to the wreckers and find something smaller that can suit your needs. probably work out cheaper and safer than building your own.

something out of a small hatchback etc will work and will be cheap.
I dont see why people seem to think fuel tanks are such a difficut thing to custom build ...

as the topic says. I have a 92gq on gas. Its in need of a full service, tune, and a couple of other bits including an exaust repair, clutch vacume issues, and the fuel mixer has just recently started playing up. It froze up the other day and I can smell gas when im using lpg so it running on petrol ...

reminds me a bit of critta. has the loud exaust too.

no reason to do any cutting at all. just by a lwb styles side. they are actually a 4 seater. you can then make up the same kind of soft top

Ok Im guessing your not to sure how to diagnose the various possibilities that people are throwing around.

First things first. Check that fuel is getting to the carby. this is easy, just remove the hose that runs between the fuel pump and and the carby. crank the engine. fuel should start pissing ...

engines wont be the only thing worn out on a car with that kind of kms. be prepared for high maintenance. a fully rebuilt jimny engine I think would probably be comparable/a little dearer then a sierra. they are pretty similar. It depends on how thourough the rebuild is. full rebuilds should cost ...

try a new one. they are only a couple of dollars. if it is dirty fuel then it may be worth draining the tank, otherwise your new fuel filter will suffer the same fate as the old one.

from what youve described its hard to say it deffinatly is fuel. be sure and check for spark.

sure you didnt get the left and right springs round the wrong way? brand new springs should be leaning to the passesnger side.

don't bother with a rebuild. if it runs. then all is good :cool: seriously. Im yet to see a rebuilt 1 liter engine run reliably for more then 12 months. drive it till it dies then replace with a turbo injected f6a

Mine has done 18 years on the last re-ring, burns a little oil but goes strong ...

iv got a roll bar that i sold 3 weeks ago on ebay never got the money for it thanks davesjeep_123 i want $150 for it im in geelong

thats a sports bar. some poeple feel it makes them look 'sporty'

A roll bar is for protection in a roll, generally made from steel. Polished alloy is not considered ...

just a note: you will have to get custom made caliper brackets for pintara brakes. im not aware of anyone selling them commercially.

there are a few people in the suzi club running rear pintara calipers and disks. (I think its pintara) from all reports they work fine without the need to muck around with proportioning valves because they were always intended for the rear of a car and are smaller then front disk brakes. the other ...

1 million dollar body lift?

wouldn't an easy solution be to just make some kind of clip that you can put on the belt for when your offroad so that it wont reel back in?

love my front locker.
