Outer Limits 4x4 Board

what would need to be done to fit them?? just a matter of re-drilling a hole?? i pick two inch extended shackles up this weekend so this might be a good oportunity to do the RUF and rears

just woundering if a waeco 80Ltr fridge can fit in a landcruiser 80 series boot front to backon??? on a fridge slide???

uuuummmmm dont really know what i am doing with the jack yet. i want a bigger motor, lower gearing and after watching the different lines that mates SAS cars can do i still want that conversion.

hahahahahahah but we will see. still paying off the overseas debt which doesnt help getting th jack ...

thats bad luck i hope its not too major after u have opened her all up to have alook. mmmmm problems with older cars, tell me about it. i still havnt sold mine, its sitting down the front of the house with a broken diff and bustered sump seal. unfortunatly i dont have any motivation to fix it ...

Lyal - thanks for the help mate and i seem to recall a certain pajero bogged in an ankle deep kiddies pool?????? hahahahhaha. i blame u it was your tyres... hahahah.


yeh the fishing was no good as usual. just some good size bream. i was all keen to get into some taylor but the weather and wind ...

on a recent trip to double island i managed to get bogged for the first time on a beach. i elected to take my muddies off and put on a mates A/T's, think i should have stuck to the muddies

u have to be able to laugh at yourself but, hahahahahahaha

cheers,
Greazy

i too have an 85 and if its the same 2.3L petrol than i wouldnt recommend goin any bigger than 31's without doing diff ratios. i have had a mates 33's on just for a play and it struggled to take off on hill climbs, u end up havin no clutch left. But it does look pretty cool

cheers,
Greazy

I couldnt agree more with u WOLF. I own an early model jackaroo and its true, its thirsty on 31's, ruff ride, not reliable however mine has been pretty good on rust. It has been a good first 4WD though and with a few mods it has gotten places that ppl said it couldn't. i guess it comes down to what ...

thanks jeremy,

did u just get the shackes made up at a place or buy them online???

i was also woundering those new shock mounts is that legal to do. I have been looking at mine and it seems a pretty stright forward job if u get the welding right. did u have to get it eng.???

thanks,
Greazy

thanks Noel,

My 31's are scraping bad and i need a cheap 1-2". i cant afford the lift suspension yet because i got to do the CV's and sump.

Cheers,
Greazy

Jeremy,

I was just wounder how long those shackles are at the back??? and how much extra did it give u??? or has anyone else done the shackles on their 4WD???

Cheers,
Greazy

Nice pictures, looked like heaps of fun. i wish mine was abit more reliable for the longer journey's

Noel have u tried lock-tight on the bolts?? im not sure if it will hold or not but sometimes that stuff can do amazing things. hope it helps.

Cheers,
Greazy

welcome surfection to the Isuzu crew,

Let me just say that your old Toyota was awesome. i followed the build-up and all the pics. Can u imagine if u got a rodeo flexing like that thing did WOW. SAS mmmmm i have had soooo many dreams, but hey, as long as someone turns it into a reality. u probably ...

Well i finally got around to doing it. Picked up two drums from the wreakers in pretty good nick for $25 each, new brake cyclinders and pads for $80 from repco and i didnt have to much trouble putting them back together. My old ones were rooted, it was actully abit scary to see what sort of nick ...

thanks for the detaild discriptioon i will have to look into it.

cheers,
Greazy

thanks for that.

I think my front end has sagged abit and i was just going to see if i could change it alittle. All new torsion bars are on the list but i have to fix the CV's, breaks and sump seal first. This weekend is the breaks. Is there any easy way to check if u have enough tire room or is ...

Sounds good.... hahahah IFS flex comp now we a talking.

on the subject of flex does anyone know what sort of impact if any, winding the bars up abit well have on over all travel??

cheers,
Greazy

hey hey,
well i too am 19 and let me just say i reakon save as much as u can and buy the latest model 4WD u can afford. The old ones are huge, tuff and look awesome but i reakon i have spent soooo much time just repairing the thing after weekends away leaving me with no money too spend on mods. Or ...

Crushu

We did already know about the HSV Jackaroo - take alook at some of the other topics in the forum.

i got the new BFG M/T's on mine. i fitted them bout three months ago and yes it is true that they do get a little noisy. Nothing a little higher radio volume cant sound out. the wear on them are pretty good but i find that the only way to get solid grip is too let them down. when they are at road ...

Hi!!!

Mine is an 85 Jackaroo but its the petrol and has a LSD rear. Generally speaking Rodeo and Jackaroo parts are virtually the same and too my knowledge if your mate doesnt have the LSD than yes it should be a stright in and out job. But dont quote me on that???

Sorry i couldnt help ...

mmmmm a H2. or even those V8's still sound alrite.

does this mean we will soon qualify for historic rego???

We'll seriously this is a sad day for all but with the weapons that Holden are bringing out in there HSV range i am hopefull that maybe, just maybe, HOLDEN HSV ................ 4WD ...

Well well, where do i start.

Went out 4wd the other day with some mates the car went well except for oil spittin out the bottom of it and basically no brakes. After washing it down and removing the wheels to inspect the brakes i discovered that my pads in the drum are down to metal and the drum ...

I reakon it all depends on what u want.

As mentioned earlier rock events pull the spectators. i cant think of a better day out - a burbon and a huge truck trying to drive over something u need ropes to climb up.

However the mud is bloody fun to play in and can be reasonably safe to muck around ...

Hey!!
THanks yeh i thought it was going to be a big job. mmmmm U put a locker in?????? that gives me an idea hahaha. if i was thinking about upgrading my torsions do u reakon it is worth doing it all in one go, while they are all out??? no hurry on the reply i have to pay the bank back alittle ...

Well i have been backpacking around the world for the last three months and missed the 4WDin very much. Theres hardly any 4WD's through europe but in Ireland and Scotland everyone has an isuzu trooper. But none of them are done up. Good to catch up on the news and u boys have been busy.

I ...

I dont know if anyone has already posted this picture but i stumbled across it while cleaning out my files. i think it deserves to be posted again.

Ive got a 85 LWB. I think it would have the same motor as yours, its the 2.3L 4ZD1 type. Mine too is very thirsty. I reakon if you are going to upgrade engine wise you should look at the 2.6L or better still the 3.2 they put in the later model jacka's. i was looking at that when i rebuilt mine, but ...

Go the hand winch. A friend has one and it has resuced me and other guys many times, from anything from hillclimbs to deep puddles. Another advantage of the hand winch is that you can use it on any of the cars in your group and can can pulll a vehicle out backwards which is sometimes the only ...

i agree, but i like it this way and love to see ppl say 'what is that and how did he get it through that. 8). personaly i dont like being the same as everyone else. I would never buy a landcruiser or a patrol because there are just to many of them and it is nothing different. My other option that i ...
