Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Update: I have installed a front air-locker in my feroza six months ago. Excellent as a product, I still haven't broken anything (yes I tried) runs perfectly and makes a great difference to the vehicles off road abilities! here is the video of the first test http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Q ...

One thing that made me a big surprise, is that when you turn the steering wheel and aim a target then accelerate it turns instantly without any problem. Although turning itself can be a big problem on steady surfaces, causing a constant fight between the driver and the steering wheel. Works ...

I have custom made....
The differance is from slight to zero....

As far as I can remember, at the top of the cluch pedal, there is a spring (little over or above the spot where the cable ties to the peddal) that brings back the peddal to its original possition.
Put some amount of grase to that.
I think that will solve your problem.

Hello everybody, I have been posting in the Daihatsu section for some months, now I am thinking about buying a Toyota! I have found two cars, and I need your opinion about which one is better. The first is a 1993 4door Toyota Hilux with the 2L engine code, the other is a 1989 Toyota 4-runner with ...

To check that your voltmeter isn't faulty, test your voltages with a multimeter (even a cheapy $10 Dick Smith one is adequate). At 18volts, you will probably find you're popping globes everywhere in the vehicle and other things such as number 3 fan setting, possibly your stereo, etc. When I had ...

The alternator is about to go off....
I don't know how it is called in English.... it is the alternator voltage regulator.
Replace it, it may cause problems.

Drop shackles have a tendency to unload themselves on side slopes etc and can make the vehicle unstable and sometimes dangerous, they should never be driven on the road in an unpinned state. It's driven almost like before on the road. The rear is very stable....I'm not conserned in road driving at ...

Lower the front diff....... NO ! I've actually raised mine as its was the lowest part of the vehicle - which is pretty dumb. I'm running front suspension that has much different geometry and measured the angle pretty carefully. I'd suggest you'll be ok. Fortunately on wheel droop the axles is ...

Finally it is done. The setup is: Front -> Tough Dog absorbers, and top ball joint spacers +cranced torsion bars Rear -> Leafs raised and inforced, OME shock absorbers, teraflex revolver shackles. This all gave a totall of +10cm in the front and +13cm in the rear. 5cm wheel spacers on each wheel ...

Turn wheels to one side completely Unbolt the screw within the red circle above, to loosen the column from the mechanism Pull back the telescopic column from the mechanism Take out the mechanism Put the new back on and before putting the column back in turn it with your hand to be facing the same ...

Thanks guys, I suppose I'll remove the dizzy cap and see if i can see it or whatever... I don't think you will need to. If I am not mistaking you can barely see it in the second picture. It should be pluged to where the red arrow is. http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp357/MitsosVR6/th_dd47b615 ...

Ok, I have found a loose wire hanging, which looks like it should plug in somewhere behind / under the dizzy, but for the life of me, I can't find where it plugs into. Any ideas?? It plugs under and a bit to your passenger's side under the dizzy. If you dive under the car from your passengers side ...

Both my ferozas had a bearing in that place.
As far as I know Daihatsu has two different codes for that bearing.
I found a different bearing in each car.
Never heard about a bush till now.

For the wheel alignment yes you need to adjust these.... If the ball joint is not bad they can be adjusted, so you don't need to change them. But if the car is "all over the place" and the steering is bad it is probably caused by other thing than these..... Sorry I don't know how they are called in ...

Now the challenge of putting the new motor in... was thinking I could move the transmission back, putting the motor in and then moving the gearbox forward. It might be easier this way, because have to mate up the splines. If you lift the rear of the vehicle, and put a gear in the gearbox lets say ...

I've done the job three times so far..... The total time should be about 3-4 hours if you are alone.... Hardest part is when you remove the gearbox from the engine..... The easiest way is to take the whole engine out as one piece and then use the parts you need in the new engine. You have a lot of ...

No.... I haven't really done anything yet because I am rebuilding the house as well and there is no much time left :cry: :cry: I hope that I will find some time within the next days to do the rest of the work. The easy way to go is 1. Choose (fix or buy) the rear spring leafs and shackles 2. Crank ...

Nice looking car. Thanks! I try to keep it as close to the original look and minimal.... One question did you crank up the torsion bars to the max? No not really.... I cranked it up go gain 7cm. It now has a clearance of 2cm from the upper bump stop to the control arm. When the upper ball joint ...

Update on the mods: Raised yesterday the rear of the car and cranked the bars..... Spring leafs where forged and curved gave a 8.5cm lift. The second spring leaf was replaced by a reinforced one, as long as the first leaf. You can see the curved end witch will hold the rear axle straight in case the ...

It is already fitted in the lower control arm but not yet mounted in the car.... I hope one of the next days I'll find time to do it..... You shall have all pictures and stuff when it is ready.... As for mik_08, who asked.... I was running on 205/80/16 with 73cm diameter with only 4cm body lift. I'm ...

.... the pictures i have posted its a modification that a friend has done but not yet bolted and tested..... Guess who's the friend!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: It should be all bolted up and ready to get tested about the end of this month as I am still waiting to get the rear leafs ready ...

Well as MM said it is a one-way situation if someone wants a locker in stock feroza diffs..... When I ordered it I really didn't care for warranty because I didn't had/have any other choice and second because we had both front/rear protrack lockers in a Grand Vitara and they are reliable as much as ...

Well as far as I know, if he is the one that makes the installation the warranty is 2 years.
I don't know if there will be a warranty only for the mechanism if someone else install it......

Better contact him....

I talked with him today, and if somebody is interested he may be able to arrange an export. He has done it before for EE countries, he is willing to do it again. To the details: If someone is interested in ordering, he must contact him for the fitting details, the exact cost and the shipping cost ...

I will try to make a better human-translation, although my english is not that good: Locker for the front and rear Daihatsu Rocky. It is controlled by compression of air. [pepiesmenoy = compressed ] Read More Τhe Locker, is manufactured specially for the Daihatsu Rocky and for its installation in ...

It costs a lot of money for an old car, has the same price as an ARB but it can be made for every car in the market. He has already made front and rear for the Rocky, a rear for a Feroza, and now I am waiting for my front locker for my Feroza. He is a very good mechanic and his system works fine in ...

I'll say the conclusion in my way witch is:
You don't put a snorkel to increase horsepower, and if that is what you want try a different way to do it.
But if you want to install a snorkel for crossing water be sure that the engine will be running better with it.

If ambient temperature is making any difference to the dyno runs then something is VERY WRONG. Any reputable dyno operator wil be using a correction system to iron out these differences in output caused by ambient shifts between dyno runs. Being Europe i'd suggest DIN70020 No. The temperature did ...

The actual horsepower you get (or loose in many cases) is an addition of many factors. - Air intake temperature - Air flow - Air supply And many more.... these are the ones changed with a snorkel. In this case all of them seem to be improved or many stayed the same at least so you can see the ...
