Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Possibly stupid question. In order to avoid pulling diffs out to check ratios, I would like to consult my Hilux's build plate for the diff code. However, I can only find a compliance plate in the engine bay. I don't see any empty holes on the firewall either. Can anyone tell me where an RN46 usually ...

How high can I lift my '81 before I have to go hi steer or crossover? I know hi steer/crossover are both far better than the standard steering. I will do one or the other eventually. But for now, retaining stock steering what is viable? I was thinking of 3" springs and extended shackles (probably 2 ...

Looking at some of the ebay panels and lights for my RN46, taillights, bonnet, corner lamps and indicators in particular.
Anybody have any experience with this stuff? How is fit and quality?

Buy a 22RE Corona and gut the motor and efi out of it.

I second (third?) the EFI idea. Buy a complete R31 sedan in good running condition (crappy or smashed bodywork maybe), for probably $500-1000 and swap in all the EFI gear, and ignition obviously.

I'm an utter offroad novice but I am 100% sure if you're running petrol, then EFI is the way to go.

How is the noise with the 3" system? Is it from the turbo back or from the dump pipe - dump looks incredibly restrictive stock on those things. Might try blocking off the wastegate but my logic tells me it would be more accurate in terms of boost control to block the pop-off valve and use the 'gate ...

G'day, My partner's old man just bought a SD33T Patrol. I've been mucking about with my skyline modding things and will soon have a small intercooler, turbosmart boost tap and a boost gauge all surplus to my needs, which I was thinking might go well on the patrol. But I am totally inexperienced with ...

Yes it has been done for years in Tas and there are 2 main types. Type 1; The origional RV rego. Off road vehicles designed for off-road use that may need to be driven on road for a short time. i.e farm bike or 4x4 to cover the property or track buggy, park at a shop in a town and drive the buggy ...

when its all built, will do, but those are a given really.

Some Ideas I have, wanting to run them by more experienced 4X4ers than myself... -Racing Bucket seats and 4 point harnesses? good or bad idea? -Racing style fuel cell - good or bad idea? (assuming range not an issue). I was thinking it could place it anywhere I wanted for weight distribution, plus ...

Cheap Donk = Supra Cheap Suspension = Rears up front, XD Falcon in the rear Lock it up = Whatever your budget, 2 X Lokka, or ARB's Cheap Gearing = Hiace 5.29's Go from there But which supra motor are you referring to, suprasurf? 5M-E? 5M-GE? 7M-GE? 7M-GTE? ? Gives me a good idea though, if you can ...

wow! thanks for all the info, that'll definitely get me started! So no big V8's are going to wedge in there without a fight, hey.... I guess a VN commo and auto will have to do then. I do like the idea of a 1UZFE, but looking at bubs' buildup, it sounds like a big hassle...then again, I guess that ...

I'm planning on getting into 4wding soonish. I've always liked the look of the RN46 Hiluxes (probably because my old man had a RN30 2wd for a long time) and its my leading choice so far as a first 4x4. So far most of my car fiddling experiences have been to do with making things get lower and faster ...
