Outer Limits 4x4 Board

You could always buy this one with a few odds and ends already fitted

Yes, they will fit. Had mine delivered with 285/75-16. They will touch on the front at full suspension travel/compression but only just.

Do it, you wont retret it! I've had mine since july 08 and love it. It tows the trailer easy. Good on fuel too. The factory lockers are worth the money.

Got a 76 GXL and love it. Tow the camper trailer with it mainly, about 1.5 ton, and find it really good for towing. Power wise it is great and way ahead of the 1HZ with aftermarket turbo. I have to gear down on the long hills, Back to 4th, but I think I'll cure that with a chip and exhaust... Have ...

I have a 76 wagon with the factory lockers. Have lifted it two inches, put 285/75 MTZ on, Bulll bar, rails, steps, 12000lb winch and a long range tank (160l). As dumbdunce said, overpriced but when you drive it you'll love it. On road it's great although you do need to keep the tyres balanced but ...

not 100% sure but i thought all 253's were trimatic?

I have a 76 wagon. It now has 12000k's on it. Lifted with an OME kit and sits about 2 inches higher than standard. Has a 12000lb winch on an ARB bar with scrub bars down the side. factory lockers. Run 285/75-16 MTZ's So far i have to say it is great. I prefer it to the 105 I had with all the gear ...

does the ARB bull bar/winch bar bolt up on the inside of the chassis or the outside? could some one please measure how far apart the bull bar/winch bar mounts are from each other? I've been offered an ARB bull bar that has been modified to accept a low mount winch for $250.00 which I'm wanting to ...

Austimages,

Give Jason at Total Care 4wd in Seven Hills a call 02 9838 9779. He's doing a lot of motor swaps with the 1HDFTE into 75's, 80's, 100's and even a Patrol. He'd be keen to have a chat about swapping the 1VDFTE into a 100.

I call BS. if the spacer becomes loose, it is because the bearings have collapsed, not the spacer. with or without the spacer, it is the nut that keeps the bearings in place. collapsible or solid, all the spacer does is give you something to do the nut up tight against. all the loads on the pinion ...

Dont think anyone does that exact coneversion. You could try http://www.v6conversions.com.au/ and they might be able to help.

Get rid of the factory crush spacer on the pinon and get a solid one machined up for it. This will help with strenght. It stops the pinion from "seperating" from the crown wheel especially in reverse. Did mine about three years ago and have not busted one yet. Has an ARB locker.

[quote="lokka goin to the wattos on sunday with a heap of mates probably have shyte load more fun :[/quote] With an attitude like that it's probably a good idea......... This is a great event and is well organised. I have enjoyed it for the last couple of years even though I cant enter. I still have ...

Correct...........

I bought a complete front diff housing, cv's, brakes, centre - everything for $750. same model, solid axel 100. I'm pretty sure the outer shaft spline is different between the full time 4wd and the part time unit, check this before you buy it. Someone else may confirm but I'm also pretty sure that ...

Just wondering who the 'GUY' is thats done a couple of 105 swaps with the 1HD-FTE's is or which workshop he works out of ?? I'm down in melbourne and havent come across anyone doing them yet!! I'll give you a hint.......he's not in Melbourne! He would prefer not to have his details put up on the ...

Petrol or diesel?
If Diesel, some were 1HZ, some were 1HDFTE.

Yep, panhard bushes would be my first thing.......put in genuine, cheap and last longer.

Chris, the guy who is doing thios swap has done a couple of 1HDFTE's into 105's. The ute motor and puter is the way to go as they dont use the chipped key and you dont need to swap the dash over. He has also used the box out of the ute in the ones he has done but you will need the stick assembly as ...

Mark, dont know if you spoke to him yet but you'll need a sump, oil pickup and so on off an 80 factory turbo (hdft?). The 1hdfte one from the ute is different. Apart from that dont know what bopx he used, keep forcetting to ask him but I guess it's the factory turbo box. Will be talking to him today ...

Mud 4B, grab the pedal assembly, it will bolt in and you can use it. I'll be talking to the shop who are fitting it today and will gleam whatever I can from them. I'll have chat with the owner and see if I can pass you on his number...

Well, there was someone asking about this a while ago on here. Saw one being done last night. Looked like a real neat fit and the bloke doing it said at this stage it was pretty straight forward. Will find out more tonight about what box and other bits and pieces are being used....

Sorry mate, I cheated... I picked up two Kaymar arms secondhand (could not have made them for $50) that already had the latches on them. I had to modify the arms and make the receivers for the latches myself. What you are looking for are called "over centre latches" Try here http://www.conceptlatch ...

Looks good mate. Not sure if this will work, but here are a couple of pictures of one that i put together. http://www.4wdmonthly.com.au/forum/attachments/f7/7063d1180357584-making-our-own-spare-wheel-carrier-almost-finished-jpg http://www.4wdmonthly.com.au/forum/attachments/f7/7064d1180357598-making ...

air locker or a lockrite? If it's a lockrite or simular it may be the shear pins, when they let go they sound like a busted CV............

also heard of one done in west Sydney a few months ago..... The one in Sydney was out of a 79 and went into a 105. No need to change the dash... a auto leccy known as "sideshow bob" wired it all in to a 105 in about 4 hrs. Pretty easy according to him. They changed the motor and box and were able ...

DR WHEELS` on 07 5597 5461.

Cut the centres out and flip them, then they look real good...

Use genuine toyota panhard bushes. I had crap aftermarket ones in mine and it broke my b@!!$ for months. Put in a set of factory bushes and it's been great ever since.

Got six inches of lift with castor plates.

Correct Andrew, the LSD has to be modified and it's more trouble than it's worth.
