Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey everyone. Im needing some help from the electrical minded people here. My daihatsu rocky battery has been going flat over 5 or 6 days without use. When i remove to recharge it and put it back in charged the external regulator clicks. Im thinking it may be a bad diode (circled in blue) in the ...

Ok awesome. I'd love a detroit for the rocky diff but rare as hens teeth. Was it a tremendous job to do?

Hey everyone. I know I should probably just buy a 80 series wagon or similar but I just love my little rocky. Biggest problem is getting lockers for the diffs which seems to be impossible to get. I've read a lot about hilux diff conversions but has anyone done one? What model hilux diffs do the use ...

yeah it does have leaves. its supposed to allow more articulation in the front after the panhard is removed doesnt it?

Hey everyone just wanted to add to the army of believers of swaybar removal. Took mine off after work on monday and driven the car all week. I hardly noticed any difference with cornering sway at all. About the only difference I noticed is that the front of the car isn't upset by small problems in ...

thanks for your reply everyone. info was exactly as i was chasing

oh and sorry i didnt do a search but i read the thread that was linked to above.

so it nearly seems auto is the way to go for most situations for most people.

thanks for your help again everyone

Hey everyone. Been ages since I've been on here but I'm hoping so find more time to keep caught up with what's going on. What I was hoping to find out is if newer automatic 4x4's are only slightly better or worse off road? I have a manual 1990 Daihatsu rocky but looking at upgrading to either turbo ...

hey thanks tabrocky. i was wondering how i would find a defective injector. Can they be rebuilt or is it easier to buy replacement ones? Thanks

i have a 2.8l TD Daihatsu rocky. i took it out for a cruise into town one night when i got home it was running rough as guts. Would hardly idle below 700 rpm. About 1500 rpm it seems ok. Between 1000 and 1500 rpm you can here a slight miss in the engine and the exhaust not has a pretty definate miss ...

ummm ok
dont know whats happened there but its in the list now

There is no daihatsu section anymore... or i couldnt find it.

the smoke is coming up between the rocker cover and the turbo. i cant really see where is it coming from. there is a very slight tsst, tsst, tsst, tsst noise coming from over that way but cant see or hear where. the smoke is bad at idle but hold it at 1800-2000 rpm and it clears up alot but still ...

hi guys. i have a 2.8 turbo diesel rocky F75. i took it for a highway drive for an hour or so the other night. when i got home it was idleing very rough. the next morning i pooped the hood and started it and there was quite a bit of exhaust smoke in the engine bay and still was idleing rough. the ...

hey, i have a 1990 2.8l turbo diesel rocky that has a very leaky diesel pump. anyone have any idea on what it cost to get them rebuilt. thanks daniel

how do muddies go in sand? Do they just dig down till the axle is on the ground?

have you checked engine and gearbox mounts. this can often cause it. We had problems with our Rocky gearbox. Cost $2200 to rebuild.

have we got pics yet?

the mechanic reckons it will make the end of the shaft to weak and it may break. I dont see it being a problem cause we are only taking off the old thread and tapping on a new one. might loose 1mm of thickness from a 25mm shaft.
i am going to look into it if the shalf is too much.

hey guys,
my gearbox got pulled a part today and the big nut on the end of the main (primary) shaft was fully stripped. The thread on the shaft is stripped as well.
Anyone know the price of a shaft or where i can get one other than daihatsu?

hey guys, i decided to rebuild this one. Going to cost $770 labour plus parts. The gearbox lad said parts might be $300 up to near $2000 depending on how hard they are to get. I rang Marks Conversions and they dont do a conversion to a Hilux (or something) gearbox and tranny. Looks like i am just ...

hey guys, my F75 Turbo diesel rocky in is need of a new gearbox. Has any body got a rough idea as to what it is going to cost to get rebuilt. I was thinking about the $1000 mark. Anyone had it done? Is the any good wreakars in QLD that could get me a 2nd hand box. The transfer is fine so it is just ...

yeah BundyRumandCoke, they are the standard rims. they have some 235-75R15 tyres on there now but the tyre plaquard says 255-70/15.
i was going to get the BF Goodrich A/T in the bigger size. The way i see it is the bigger the better.

Hey guys
I have a 1990 resin top rocky wagon and need some new tyres for it. Anyone got any recommendtions. It will go off-road quite a bit when i get them as the ones on there now are down to the wear bars and dont go well through sand/mud etc.
Thanks Daniel

hey
yeah i do drive a laser but my fiancee just bought the rocky. We live in mackay in QLD.
Thanks big-stu. I was going to pull the solinoids off and see what i could do but they have been removed and thrown away.
If any one else could help that would be great
Thanks Daniel

Hey guys We just bought a F75 1990 Rocky last week and there is a problem with the soleniods that change the vacuum to the transfer case to change it from 2WD to 4WD. Aparently they are about $300 a pair from a wreakers in brisbane. But then they fail often i have been told What has enyone else done ...
