Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hiya All, The shocks (EFS) I have at the moment over the parabolic springs are far too hard on compression and do not allow the springs to compress properly. Does anyone have a recommendation on a shock with a low compresssion rate, but normal rebound rate? I figure this may help to soften the ride ...

Hiya All,

Has anyone used these packs? I need to change the suspension on my 95' Dcab and am looking for a comfort set-up....... EFS or Rockcrawler?

Thanks

Thanks. Is there any special procedure for getting the old one off, that is, do I need to jack the truck up or just undo where it sits? It has been lifted (parabolics - about 2-3 inches), so do I just remove the old one, let the car sit on the springs then adjust the new one to the correct length ...

Does anyone have advice on the way to fit these correctly?

Thanks.

Hi All, Some of you will remember that a while ago I fitted Fireflex Parabolics to my 95' Hilux d/cab. The front is great, but the rear, is waaaaaaaay to harsh when unladen. In fact, it becomes quite unsafe when off road as instead of soaking up the bumps, it just moves the truck. Bad. Can anyone ...

I just spoke to a guy at Carrols Springs (my parabolics are Fireflex) and he said there should not be a problem with strength if the helper is removed. He thinks that the only problems would be 1. loss in ride height and 2. Loss of load carrying ability. He also said that if done right, spacers can ...

Where would I find a ladder bar/track bar for the rear diff?

I'm not even sure how it would mount up, anyone have any clues/picks?

Do you mean a track bar for the rear diff is required if running softer springs? Anyone got any suggestions for "the perfect" ride set-up? I thought the parabolics would be just about perfect, but...................... boing....boing...... If a track bar was installed on the rear, could the helper ...

Hi All, I would really like to obtain a better, more comfortable ride in my solid axle lux (95')....... after riding in an 80 series Land cruiser with solid axles/coils my truck feels like a expensive pogo stick/bucking bronco........... The set-up at the moment is parabolics front and rear with EFS ...

Your ideas sound good, I think I'll go for the clamp on mounts. I am really looking for details (actual plans, measurements etc) of some that someone else has made. This should make the job a little easier. I am a decent welder but always seem to get things a bit wonky went I fab them without clear ...

Hiya All,

Does anyone have a set of plans for fabricating some sliders from 2.5 inch tube? I would like to make a set for my 95' Dcab Lux for protection and for use as steps.

Thanks and Cheers, any suggestions would be great.

Hiya all, I am tired of looking for a 2nd hand set of nice rims so am biting the bullet and getting a new set.......... I am looking at some steel speedy chromies, but if any one has noticed vast improvements in suspension action when lighter alloys are fitted maybe I'll wait and get alloys (Solid ...

Thanks all, sounds like the injectors. I'll try an additive cleaner and if it dosent work then over to the injector people it is.

Anyone got advice on a good fuel additive to clean the injectors?
I know there are heaps, but maybe advice would help weed out the good ones.
Cheers.

Thanks Man, that would be great! At least I'll know if they would fit under there!
Cheers.

Hi All, I have been offered a pair of side steps from a 91 XCab hilux and need to know if they are the correct length to fit on my 95 dual cab hilux. Can anyone confirm if the XCab and Dual cab are the same length from the rear of the front wheel arch to the front of the rear wheel arch? (the steps ...

Hi All, I have noticed that the exhaust emits small amounts of black smoke when under load (you can see it in the rear vision mirror, especially when cars with lights on are behind). The 2.8d has only done around 200,000 so I am thinking that it is not worn enough to cause smoke. Can this be caused ...

Hiya,

Tomsoffroad, what do you mean? Did the wheel bearing grind itself to a pulp and let the wheel disengage?

Eliteforce, I am in Melbourne. I'll take a look around and try for a better price! Thanks.

Thanks for the advice all. I had it checked out on the weekend.......... the unis are stuffed (stiff) and need replacing.......... they want 300 bucks to do all three, but at 22 bucks per uni I think I might try it myself.
Is this an easy job?

Would a stuffed wheel bearing also cause one of the front hubs to be stiff (really stiff) when turning it from free to lock (or vise versa)???

Hi All, When I reach around 60km per hour a wirring noise kicks in, sounds like it is coming from toward the rear........ It also seems to occur only under load, that is, if I take my foot off the accelerator it goes away and if I drop back down to say 40 kms per hour it goes away............ I am ...
