Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Interesting what people's thoughts are but I suppose keeping with what the car was originally bought out with is probably the best option and just beefing it up as much as possible.

Well I have spoken to some guys and decided to go with the brass copper 3 core. I spoke to a guy at Belmont auto electrics called Shannon and he builds a lot of radiators for 4wds with the same some of problem and has got onto a core that is apparently the bees knees. It's 57 mm thick instead of my ...

Ah that's very interesting reading there struth and ill be taking that on board for sure. I'm thinking after doing some research ill look at beefing up my brass unit. Can I get a 4core put in instead of a 2core or can I only fit a 3 in those engine bays.

Any reason for your thoughts on the brass being better struth. My old man just paid $800 bucks for his copper unit to be recorded and I thought it was a big steep but I'm yet to chase around prices from my local shops.

Ok I'll have a chat to some radiator places And see what they can knock up

Did u buy a 3 core 62 mm rad or a standard size. I looked at eBay but thought IDE rather go through natrad or somewhere along those lines. From my understanding the factory radiator is only a 2 core 45mm. Am I correct in that.

Looking at getting a 3 core to replace my standard radiator after turboing my lux. Been up in the high country and it hasn't been liking driving some of the long steep winding hill. My old man just got a custom made brass one for his 2.8 turbo 4runner and has fixed all the problems he had but cost ...

Yeah I think a cooler of some sort wouldn't go astray for the turbo itself and was thinking about an oil cooler to keep oil temps down but I didn't know if they were much chop. On another note that truck of yours brad is a weapon. I'm hoping to do similar to mine within the next few years when the ...

They guy we bought it off threw a timing chain and destroyed the head. So it was replaced. Radiation has been flushed and the thermostat. The only problem is driving hills not when normal driving is done so my thought was maybe too much boost and fuel. He is getting the fan hub serviced this coming ...

Hey guys. Old man had got an issue with his 2.8 turbo diesel 4 runner. It has a Denco turbo system on it and just had the head replaced but now when driving up hills it's heating up. When using the a/c it's worse again. Cooling system has been flushed and a new thermostat. My ideas were to check the ...

My hilux has been sased so was originally independent. Mine isn't that bad that its undrivsble just annoying. I put a steering dampener on it and did fix it a lot but I went to fit a set of extended shakles and it's came back bader then ever and felt bad under breaks. So I'm pretty well dumbfounded ...

I'm chasing the same thing in my hilux ATM. May sound silly but try a wheel balance. See what happens.

High steer and a dampener standard steering box. Thought I might just do some measurements and see it the diffs are straight.

Hey guys. I've got a hilux that has been SASed it's a dualcab sr5 and at around 60 Kms it seems to bounce around. It doesn't feel like a wheel alignment problem but I'm sort of stumped. Mods are SAS with a buds dropped cross memeber and 2 inch springs with standard shakles. I've replaced the t/shaft ...

Sorry it's 205 r16. Not 15. Might have to call someone about the body lift

Hey guys. Old mans got a 4runner and he is talking bout cab lifting it and wants some bigger tread. His tyre placard says 205 r15 so I'm guessing 31 10.5 are the biggest he can go. What are his best options for a legal lift, bj spacers or are cab lifts legal or do they have to be engineered. We are ...

Just a quick questions for budscustoms. He is sasing brand new vehicles and throwing links Into the same cars where it was leaf sprung and I wouldn't personally think people would be outlaying such a massive amount and having no garantee that there cars wong be taken off the road never to be ...

Yeah I'm looking for another option too. Would love some like what u can get for the jeeps and what not. Bushwhackers I think they are. But I can't find any decent options.

Hey guys just before I install my new ct20 I was just wondering if I have to do anything along the lines of bleeding the turbo. I have heard some people saying this but I don't know how this would be done. There isnt any bleeder bolts on it so I was wondering what u guys would suggest doing before ...

I got the timing kit done and new harmonic balancer. Got the Injector system flushed and it has seemed to idle better and I got an extra 40 km's out of the last tank but hasn't been long enough to tell weather it was just the fuel I got or weather it really has done anything. I am getting a turbo ...

Turns out there is some funky looking shreds of platic of some sort coming out from under the timing cover. Mechanic will be ripping it down on Tuesday to see whAts goin on and I'll get the injector done and injector pump upped the 10 percent for a turbo kit. Cheers for the ideas fellas. I'll update ...

Thanks fellas. I was told when I bought the car the timing belt was done only a couple of thousand km's before I bought it. There were receipts but it was also meant to have a rebuilt alternator and all new brakes and these were the first thing that gave way. I was chatting to a friend last night ...

Not using any oil or water. Not over heating or anything else but rattling after really pushing it up hills.

Hey guys. I have a hilux with a 2.8 n/a diesel in it. Had it for a few years and done some mods like SAS conversion and other bits and peices pretty much everything has been recoed apart from the motor and rear diff. Since I moved back to Newcastle the car has been chewing fuel. Over the last couple ...

Yeah sure did. Works really well with the long shocks. Glad the IFS is gone haha.

Ifs rear and extendeds that I have hear waiting for u. Mess around with the leaf packs and u will find something that works really well and ruf the front with some massive hoops. These lux's work so good in the front once u get rid of things like the torque rod and shit standard steering. High steer ...

Driveline shutters can be caused by gear box and engine mounts. Had a bad shutter after changing my clutch. Checked out everything mechanics told me to and need up being my gearbox mount. Could be worth a try.

what the? I talked to shannons on the phone, about 3 months ago, they said they didnt do 4wd's Did I get a dud story? I have no at fault claims, max no claim, 26 years old. how are people getting 4wds insured with shannons? Is there some trick I dont know about? I dOnt really know why they wouldn't ...

How the hell u drown that. Lol ahwell if u can't make it I'll still be there. Not much that's goin to stop me.
