Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Didn't that guy Jeepir have a PTO winch on his 93 or whatever it was? He used to hang out at 4x4wire and last I saw him at POCUK board. I think he's from Norway...

this guy:

Great, good stuff. I bought a 99138 and I'll see how it works. BTW this will be replacing OME shocks in the rear. Got a less than satisfactory response from the ARBUSA folks after breaking one a month or so after the warranty expired :

Cool thanks guys thats good to know. Maybe its just a sleeve that needs changing then.

I emailed Rancho and told them the Montero community needs this shock with the LS82 bottom.

At any rate I ordered one to see if I can make it work myself.

Thanks again

BTW Hekta do you remember which part# you ...

Regarding Rancho 9000's you said in this post http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/PHP_Modules/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2119&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=rancho+9000&start=30

AND LS26 BOTTOM MOUNT WHICH CONVERTS TO THE LS82 WHICH WILL FIT PERFECTLY

I'm trying to figure this out as I am 99% decided ...

Ball joints on the knuckle, tie rods, idler arm. Jack it up and torque on the wheels while looking for play.

Wow, never heard of anyone actually having this option. Thought that was a JP version only option. Somewhere here I think someone has posted a link to AU shop manuals...if it is an AU rig

Best to post the specs in your signature on what you own and where you're from

That said, any chance you ...

I'm guessing AU dollars? How do you plan to work US payment? Paypal? - EDIT: oops - ok it helps to read what I'm reading

Great news - now to find some bling...

EDIT: The air ram - from the sound of it it has an electric solenoid switch inside the ram correct?

Also, does lack of pressure ...

LT, yes same side as our Aussie friends

Brett: The filler is on the right hand side (facing vehicle front on).

Look at the full view pics of Franks truck...they are on what would be our drivers side.

My general disgruntlment for lack of availablility and answers still stand!

Yeah see, our filler is on the same side. ??? I'm afraid this might be what to me would appear to be another case of ARBUSA - too cool to deal with the Mitsu crowd.

Looks like I'll just have to get my buddy to put one on his next container out of Oz.

Thanks for the pics Frank. Say, do you see any reason on that thing why ARBUSA would be giving us the runaround saying it wont fit due to opposite driver's side issues??

Is your tank filler on the right hand side?

If you want some pics of the long range tank (I'm extremely happy with that) just ask.

May I please have pics of the long range tank?

Hey Angelo, yeah all the back seat passengers are little people - they have to be hoisted in

Yes there is a few things I'd do different - as far as lateral stiffness (along the length of the slider) there is NO flex. But there is flex at the weld to the frame. My plan is to weld a C channel onto ...

Hey those look familiar - Look similar to Augies design...

I like what Augie did. Used a lighter square tube under the rocker then reinforced for rigidity with an even lighter round tube, which also protects a little from the side and serves as a step.

I own the vehicle now...some pics here ...

Interesting. Is octane graded the same down there? I dont think you could get that kind of octane around here unless you went to a race shop Regular unleaded here is 87, mid-grade 89, and premium is usually 93, sometimes 92.

$2.22/us gal for 93 octane right now. It was $2.36 two weeks ago. 87 is ...

I'm gonna stick my neck out and say if you dont use the recommended 92 octane you're asking for trouble. Even if you dont hear engine knock doesnt neccessarily mean detonation is NOT occuring in your cylinders and putting very harsh stress on critical parts.

Lower grade fuel just wasnt designed ...

Good stuff thanks!

My last trek deserves another shot. Lets just say, "owned":

Lotsa beer bought our way out

Got 170 miles home before the computer fried from all the mud on it...next time - bring electronic cleaner, and ...

A member's request reminded me there's another contingent that may be interested in my latest project...Thanks to a member at 4x4wire's hardcopy I scanned, outputted, and bookmarked to high res PDF the manual for the 92-95 Montero - all 1500 or so pages.

This manual covers the 3.0 and 3.5 Petrol ...

i run 285 mtrs all the time very happy with them

Ditto


Though my next set will probably be 33's on a rim with less backspacing, The truck is nice and trim right now - the tires are still flush with the fender flares, but I think it could use some more stability with a wider stance.

I ...

Learned that SwayAway here in the US is no longer making their oversized Tbars for the 1995 and newer Montero. Wondering if you guys know of resellers or manufacturers down there I can check out.

Thanks
Phil

Thanks red. Ok I've looked over some of the older posts that have been popping up on this topic and one mystery still remains. It appears you're screwed no matter what with the front, no? If your completely stock and you get a longer shock you will bottom it out. If you're lifted (in my case, to the ...

Anyone have data on the compression and extension lengths of stock shocks on a Gen2? Is there a difference between the ECS and regular models lengths?

I'm highly interested in the Rancho9000's but I dont like the length data I'm seeing recommended for our application.

If anyone has any other ...

I've been told by the ARB people here in the US that the Pajero Long Ranger fuel tank wont fit US models. Wondering if anyone has one of these and if they might know what exactly the difference is.

My guess is something to do with the frame - but could it be modified?

How many liters/gallons ...

Here is a link to the Gen2 V8 conversion Doug mentioned:

Thanks PajMan - 2.25" it will be. And Tonka Paj that ride rocks! Had Mitsu brought the Gen2 SWB including the JTop to the US I would guess the offroad aftermarket industry here might be completely different for us Mitsu owners. More pics with the top off please!

Best improvement I have found for my 3.5 DOHC has been the larger diameter free flow exhaust, lots more power midrange and more torque down low where it needs it most, and best of all it sounds great. Extractors don't seem to do much good based on others experience, air filter changes (K&N ...
