Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I know of a very large Paper Bark Tree they could have used instead of the drum. Deformed my OE steel bar nicely.

So if its a diesel it might be a problem with the overflow, self siphoning?

I have a 93 diesel and the sub and main fuel lines are completely seperate. When the sub button is pressed, the motor is fueled directly from this tank. However I have been told that with the petrol model, the sub feeds into the main tank first. I take it yours is a petrol? Also might be crap that I ...

I have a 93 model DX and needed to replace the rear bar and bought a bar from a wrecker from a 96 model. Different link to the chassis (sway bar the same design), although different diameter bar as mine, but my chassis already had the factory mounting points (tack welded nuts inside the chassis ...

Mid I just had a look at the wiring diagram for a 93 Std Diesel and the three wires should be fixed in a T shape. Looking from the back of the sensor where the wiring plugs in, the
• top left will be Black with White stripe
• top right will be Green with Red stripe &
• bottom will be White with a ...

You have to be careful with using an 80s for a tow vehicle as they are only rated to 2500kg braked towing capacity.
An 80s alone would be close to 2.5T and thats not including trailer weight and other shit that gets thrown on the trailer. (you'll need a proper rated trailer too)
if you do use a ...

Why is it easily noticed?

I had a 105 (same sway bar setup) I removed the brackets, Not just from the sway bar pin, and you would not know anything was missing.



Meaning that it was easily visible if you were travelling in a vehicle behind me and if someone had a clue they could see it wasn't ...

Since there are plenty of guys out there not running sway bars, how come no one whats to sell them to me lol

Thanks anzac. Thats what I'm looking for.

I would, but knowing my luck I would be pulled over straight away as its one of those things thats easily noticed if removed.

Hi all. My rear sway bar on my 80 series has taken a large knock and has been bent upwards behind the diff. Looks like its sitting about 100mm higher in the centre.
Quenstion is, can sway bars be straightened, as its already sprung steel (I think). I have already rung around a few local wreckers ...

Same as mine, factory winch bar. The mounting points for the winch are re-enforced. I have to access the clutch lever from underneath the bar as well. Never been a problem

He's selling airbags lol

I have had the same setup as you for 5 years and have recently experienced the exact same thing at 80km. Just checked mine over, everything tight etc and I noticed that a swaybar rubber is cactus. Their been in there for 16 years, so I will change them out during the week and it might fix the ...

Don't want to sound like a dill, but would emersing the wire rope into water wash the oil out of the wick? Only asking cause I did soak the cable over night and the water turned very cloudy/white. Hope I haven't stuffed my cable.

Jcclures - love your old rig by the way. Very clean.

Thanks Mate. Will do.

Thanks Mate. Will do.

Thanks Dumbdunce. So would it be ok to leave it sit in fresh water for a day or so, let it dry and use lithium grease (have a few tins of that)

Had to use my new winch for the first time in anger recovering a couple of vehicles stuck in a tidal/salt grass area. The cable was still reasonable clean after the recovery and I ran the hose over the spool for a while to clean any salt etc off the cable.

What else should I do to try to prevent ...

PLEASE take your time and sort out the issues. Others (me) are waiting for the 'build up' post so you can sort out all the problems for us.

Fraser is currently being washed away, so you have time. Well getting hammered anyway. Just trying to stall you.

I'ld take my time. If your 'low' keeps up, Fraser will be washed away.

You're a better man than me. I just live with it. Might explain why my 80 looks like sh*t most of the time. But have owned it for 12 years and know the exact location of every love tap. Getting a teary eye. I think
I will go for a play

305/70 and 285/75 have the same diameter, unless you get really picky and go to the 100th degree and then the 285 is .02 inches bigger. In Qld the law states that you can't fit a tyre that is 15mm greater diameter than the largest factory optioned tyre. So yes a 33 inch tyre is illegal as its more ...

Mark the Powertrax Lockright locker for the rear of an 80 (Part 1630) is different to the front (Part 1610). Its a bigger unit . The front locker is the same for the hilux front & rear (8 inch crown wheel). I recently did some research into this chasing front & rear lockers for my 80 and found that ...

Thanks Andrew. Yes she is a part timer. Would have gone air lockers front/rear, however purchasing the lockrights from the USA for AU$370 each, new delivered to my door.

Can anyone advise how late did Toyota produce the 60 & 75 series with a open rear diff, if I still decide to go the rear ...

The vehicle is called Gigantor. You can check it out at http://www.orp.com.au/Gigantor/Gigantor_page.htm

Is this possible?
Reason is I'm chasing lockers and air lockers are out of the budjet and Richmond Gears in the USA no longer manufacture 'Powertrax Lockright' lockers for the LSD centre on cruisers (Rang them last week). The front is available (part no 1610), so I'm curious if the open diff centre ...
