Outer Limits 4x4 Board

On some bars/winches you have to remove the vertical rollers to get to the bolts. Usually there is a circlip on the pin that holds the roller in place.
Remove that and then slide the pin out and remove the roller.

Mine was similar but I was able to get a spanner in regardless.
You might just need ...

started to remove my winch tonight but only got as far as disconecting the leads, removing bash plate and 2 of the lower large mounting bolts, problem is there are 2 bolts where the fairlead is but not accsessable by a socket or spanner. Help would be realy appreciated thanks

The seal on the neck of every valve, they do wear but are more prone to hardening through age. They then weep oil down through the guides and will pool in the intake port. While running, the amount is neglible, but after sitting for a while, enough can seep through to produce smoke on start up ...

diesel

As the title says, after a minute or 2 the pootrol starting up it decides to start blowing black/dark blue smoke, any one else had this? It goes away after straight away when driving aswell. It's a 2001 Gu 3ltr by the way.

i actually got that price at bob jane's of all places, lindsays were trying to offer them to me for over $1700, i want creepy crawlers but there hell expensive. its gonna be my first set so im thinking start of with the bighorns

in the process of buying tyres but wanting to know if the bighorns are worth it and a good place for tyres in melbourne, got a price on 4 35'' bighorna on 15x8 for $1450 fitted and balanced, what do u think?

padlock does the trick, never had a worry

just had a 3'' lift put in and the right hand side at the rear its seems to have sagged, this mean a new coil spring or shock needed?
