Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Yok mate thanks for the reply, that's exactly what I need to know.
It will be wired up so ignition on will mead thermos and water pump will turn on. Or Mabey just a switch on the dash, not sure yet

Hi, I have a reasonably big water/air intercooler in my TD42 patrol and as it is a winch challenge truck I am going to mount a full size patrol radiator on the tray for the cooling with twin thermo fans and need to know what size water pump I need?? I'm looking at the Davies Craig electric water ...

Link for rules didnt work

Yes it is a disc brake rear but like I said if it was a bearing on the front or rear it would have the problem all the time but it's only on corrugated roads

Yeh thanks for the info Dave, as for round 1 I have just Bought another house so I'll be busting my balls to finish rebuilding the truck by WTC rnd1 in march letalone in february haha but I'm defantly keen to have a go at the event at seeonee park.

I'll keep an eye on this post

Thanks Pickels

Yeh thanks 76 tourer I mite look into rebuilding the calipers in the near future, and as you said broken vacuume line would create a hard pedal not send it to the floor so that kinda rules that out Thanks for your help everyone I'll look into redoing th calipers with a new set of discs and see how ...

Hi Dave I am new to your events, but I am a regular at the WTC and other CQ comps. I have heard rumors that in your comps you require the vehicle, driver and navi to return to a fenced compound after each stage and remain there untill the next stage. Is this true?? If so what is the reasoning behind ...

Hi thanks for the replys
The wheel bearings have been checked more than once as that was my first idea.
And if it had warped discs it would happen all the time but it's only happening on corrugated roads only.

Any more ideas out there???

What is this event all about?? How many cars per team? Nom prices? Bit more info would be good as the video and Facebook page tell us nothing so far and it's only a fe months away. I am interested in this comp as its close to home

I have a problem in my 92 GQ wagon, for every day driving my brakes seem to work fine on and off road, but as soon as I drive a section of corrugations for more than 5 or so seconds I go to ease the brakes to slow down and the pedal nearly hits the floor. It takes a good three pumps to get bake to a ...

Maxxis by far are the best tyre either the treps or the creepys, i run the creepys myself and love them, im not a fan of the BFG crawlers as they dont seem to clear the mud from what ive seen and as said weak sidewalls. Simexes are good if you have foward momentum but as soon as u loose momentum ...

Hi, I am installing a set of 80series side gears into a GQ patrol ARB air locker for a mate. He is running a buds customs front diff in a jeep. My question is does anyone know if installing the thrust block into the locker interferes with the 80series long field axles. This happens when fitting ...

Ill give ya $350

Hi mate on my winch challenge truck i have drilled and tapped a 1/8 bsp thead into the side of the motor and run an air line up into the dash as a breather and then fully sealed the motor with silicone, that way it still breathes but keeps water out

gudge that vn wagon from the island should have the t700 in it just go get it and rebuild it

Well is this happening when you drive to work every day or when you go off road?? Because you didnt secify, if its happening whilst in 2wd ur tailshaft shouldnt be spinning so would lead me to think that something else is making the bad noises. On anuther note, i have seen the splines wear out ...

If you wanna play with lowmounts, wait till easter and check out gudges winch that me and him built, its a warn M9000 tricked up with a twin motor setup that me and gudge designed and built, it runs 24v and final ratio of 28:1 we are currently in the process of designing a tripple motor setup aswell ...

If they are out of phase this will defantly cause dramas, but sounds like you are cruising around with your hubs locked in, wich is not necessary unless going off road, bothe my gqs do this and my wagon only has 2" lift

Yeh rob a 6hp will fit to any warn winch, wat didnt the tigers11 like 24v???? Hahaha

See you at easter, ill be on the podium if you want any more advice haha

Pickels

Shut up mosko!! Thats beside the point haha

Yes its a big cylider of nylon rubber not that little winch saver thing, Well ya see sheildsy we had a small incident at lowmead, and instead of winching the rear winch in i sucked the front winch in wich was allready tight so it completly bent my shocky in half so ill sell it to ya for a carton if ...

Hi now i dont run big HP only a turbo diesel but im running 37s on a gq ute for winch challenges up her in Central qld, my opinion is that a braced GQ front diff with Caloffroad CVs and axles will be stronger than a gu diff anyday, i run arb airlockers in both diffs, my waek point is the free ...

Hey guys, im looking for some one that supplys that neoprene rubber bar that some blokes use for a damper on ther warn highmounts to slow it down as the hook gets close to the winch. Most of us blokes up in CQ use an old moddified shockie, but on a recent trip to a comp down south i noticed a lot of ...

Im with sheildsy haha

Pickels

Correct me if im wrong but you are talking about rear diff swap??? Longfield make CVand axle sets for front diffs as do cal offroad, so a gq would be the better choice and unless ur running some serious HP, like 400hp+ and massive tyres you wont bust a gq rear end and 4.6 gears are readily available ...

hi, someone correct me if im wrong but i think a standard warn 6hp 12V motor runs around at 1650rpm, so at24V its going to be nearly double im presuming, so if you can build a 24V 7kw (9.3hp) motor that spins higher than say, 3500 you should be on a winner if thats how it works but hey im just a ...

im with twodiffs, drop boxes will correct your steering geometry better than any other form of castor correction, therefore resulting in near standard onroad handeling, if it still handles bad id be checking all the bushes in the front end and size and type of tyres will seriously affect onroad ...

watya mean we dont like rocks, me and gudge arnt scared

BRING ON THE ROCK TRACK!!!!

Pickels

i actually have my drop boxes mod plated in qld, but in theory if u need drop boxes ur lift is also illegal so who really cares. but defantly drop boxes are the way to go and dont believe wat people say about them getting hung up cos they dont realy, and if you look at an 80/100series cruiser they ...

hi if a cold chisle and hammer were use to remove nd install the lock nuts instead of a hub socket, then chances are when the lock nut gets tightned up the lock washer picks up on the sharp burs that are left from the chisle and it spins wich shears the little locating tab off therefore even if u ...
