Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Yes it will all bolt on, I did it with mine. From memory the only thing thing I had to change was I put the Hilux cvs onto the 40 series axle shafts (this won't work if you've got a very early 40 with coarse spline axles) But I basically I used everything Hilux from the swivel hubs out.
I used ...

What coil overs are you running?

99% sure there were no factory disc 60s (someone will correct me if I am wrong haha). Its stupidly easy to fit lux discs onto a Fj40 full floating rear diff. Google is your friend. All I used on my one was early solid axle hilux discs an calipers. Made a bracket to attach the caliper. To attach the ...

Has anyone ever heard of or looked into wether or not cruiser and patrol detroit lockers have interchangeable side gears?
I'd like to build up a 60 series/gq hi pinnion hybrid front diff with a detroit if its possible

Thanks for the replies, good info there. I also found this one on ebay as well http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/180942399078 ... 1438.l2648

Does anyone know where I can buy trailer stub axle style spare tyre swing out hubs from?
I want to build a rear bumper with a swing out spare tyre holder. I've heard before that you can buy the stub axle with a straight steel hub (not the usual wheel hub with wheel studs) ready to weld your tyre or ...

Haha I bet it chews thru some gas, mainly due to the skinny pedal getting a work out everytime ya take it out

Wow Marty 3 posts since joining in 06 lol, you got that 75 out an about yet?

You will only get about 40mm further forward by redrilling the spring perches IIRC, I drilled mine 30mm to fit 35's an the tie rod an drag link got very cosy. I had 2" OME springs an 35"s on 10" rims an they scrubbed a ...

He didnt remove the sump an inspect the big end bearing did he? Did he measure piston heights when the heads were off?
I would be sceptical about a broken ring. I think there could be excess clearance in the big end bearing due to the impact with the washer between the piston an the head, pretty ...

Mine was supported by a new nylon bush I made up to replace the factory rubber one that is captured in the end of the steering column in the firewall right beside the uni you can see in the pic. A mate of mine bought a Bj40 with a 70 series column in it. It didnt have any of the stalks wired up but ...

If the steering column was shorter then that intermediate shaft looks like it would be too short as well. When I converted my 40 I shortened the original column and got a local engineers shop to cut new splines on the end of it. If you really wanted to get better angles you could shorten the column ...

Doesn't look too bad, I've seen worse on factory steering set ups. If you clamp the box to the chassis an turn the shaft by hand, does it bind in the U/J's at all? Do you know what that other intermediate shaft is out of?

Anyone know wether any of the later hzj75s an 79s came with factory ptos? Ive seen plenty of aftermarket ones but none with anything that resembles a factory pto

Bolt covers are the same, but you may or may not have the internal gear in your transfer case. Some had them some didnt.

No it shouldnt hurt it at all. If its so thick it wont drain out id be looking at other causes, maybe wrong type of oil for one. What was the colour like. Could you see the black carbon particles in the oil? How much oil was in the sump?
In ten years as a diesel fitter Ive only seen oil not drain ...

What do you mean by sludging? If its got good quality diesel engine oil in it theres no reason it cant go 10,000ks between services

I saw a write up recently an the swap was very simple apart from needing to drill out a blank casting for a detent switch (I think that was it)

When I put my early 60 series H55f into my truck it had a "screaming banshee" like noise in all gears , I bought the box cheap cos it had "a bit of bearing ...

If they're only a play tyre, is there any reason you don't want 35"s. if you're set on 33"s I'd stay away from mudzillas they're normally a very small 33. Mine measured under 32 with 15psi in them. My choice would be the simexs for a lux

Good point about the handbrake, that used to sh#t me to tears trying to adjust the dam thing with the spacers on there an I only had to do it a couple of times

If I remember correctly I think theyre on the top of the block behind the lh head, didnt pay too much attention to mine but I seem to remember a number around there. Ill see if I can find it in my pics

Ive run 25mm bolt on spacers on my truck, Alloy ones that is. My truck was offroad only so it didnt do high ks so I didnt have any trouble with them. I fitted them to allow 15" wheels to fit over large brake calipers.
Ive had a few friends run the same alloy ones on their road trucks an they had a ...

Yes there is a brake set up on the god winch, think they show parts of it in the first video i posted. The loud clicking noise you can hear is the brake. They have to have some sort of brake to compete

Cool, yeah realised it was a different one. The one I was thinking of was leaf sprung all round

here is a mate of mines 2wd 70's model lux converted to a 4wd, no chassis mods to the main rails one mods to mount the airbags

Has that been painted a green colour now? Looks like one I saw on pirate. Very cool I love the look ...

Heres a kiwi version of the god winch

Can anyone tell me what differences there are between a 2wd hilux chassis an a 4wd chassis? Is the 4x4 chassis stronger/larger than the 2wd? Ive seen a few threads on Pirate where they converted later model luxes to 4x4 but no mention was made of any strength differences between the two..
I picked ...

If everything is working as it should, ie lights gauges etc just tape it up an hide it. When I converted my bj74 to 350chev I ran all new wiring for the engine. There were about 20 live wires that ran into the engine bay in the main loom with an without the ignition on. All I did was cut an seal all ...

If the pedal goes hard by pumping it then typically this is either caused by air in the system being compressed or excess caliper piston travel. Ive run Surf four pots all round with a surf master and an adjustable rear proportioning valve an the pedal an brake force was great

Excess piston travel ...

I had the same prob with my Bj74 when I went with discs all round. I always needed someone to help bleed it. Vacuum or reverse pressure bleeders didnt work for my truck itd always trap air an was a real PITA.
Trying to isolate front to rear is a good start. let us know how that goes

Have a read thru this thread, theres a lot of pages but its a sc14 superchaged 5L hilux from NZ
