Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Thought ide finish this off. Job done. I bolted a piece of 25mm shs across 2 of the flange holes for good leverage. Then with a 3/4 rattle gun and a 30mm socket rattled off no worries. 3 jaw puller to get flange off. Rattled flange back on lightly. Apparently the gq has a solid pinion spacer so ...

Does the big nut that holds the flange on have anything to do with pinion preload etc. i did have a quick try to get the pinion nut off my 3:9 but even with a breaker bar and a long pipe i couldnt get it to crack. I assume its right hand thread. Any tricks to it. Was gonna buy a impact gun tomorrow.

Bought some 4:3 centres to replace my 3:9's. Got them in without any problems until the final step. Bugger. The tailshaft hole centres are different. Can anyone help with options. Heres what i thought could be the solution A. Try to remove the flange from the old diff and put on new diff B. not sure ...

hi had a squeak doing my head in,ended up being the horn pad not returning all the way out after pressing it.another one i had was the instrument cluster perspex.but hey like you said gq

Also while on the the subject should i go nitro or genuine.
Not sure on the price difference and quality, I will call Nissan on Monday.

HI, Just put 305/70/16s on my gq with 3.9 diff gears and from what i can read the 4.3s are my best bet. Can someone a. confirm this is the best ratio for me but more importantly b. i am wondering if i purchase the ring and pinion is changing the ratios myself advisable or should i give it to a diff ...

mate, never put it in 4x4 on a surface that doesn't allow the wheels to slip ie concrete,tarmac.its a sure fire way to do damage. if you wanna do this "test" do it on gravel.

There's plenty of info on how to do it, but just wondering how much difference it makes to the gq when off road locked up in second.From what i can gather without a valve body upgrade can't lock first. And besides stalling if stopping while locked up are there any negatives to doing this mod.
cheers

Thankyou.

Looking at putting a 4 inch lift in my patrol and running 33's but not sure if it will fit in my garage. As the suspension is sagged i cant just add the extra 5 inches or so. Can anybody tell me what their roof height is running 4 inch and 33's. Also will a 4 inch lift be able to take 35's. pretty ...

Thanks for all the help guys. 4'' tube from tube sales was the go. After 1 big hole saw and a bit of nutting out the snorkel is now done. I was going to come through the guard earlier than where the original pick up was but as there was a brake line running through i decided to go all the way. All i ...

thanks for all replies, My brother in law and i are both gonna fit them, he is replacing his safari in an 80 series and mine is new install on the gq. He has done all the running around today and got the pipe and bends. We also got some t bolt hose clamps but not sure if people put hose clamps or ...

I just got my diff done in my lux, i had many different noises. growling when slowing to a stop a high pitch sound when i got off the accelerator from about 60 km and a bit of shudder on take off. i got the lux test driven by a diff repairer and he told me a few things and showed me a few things ...

ok.here goes. i have a hilux with a 22r in it. about 3 weeks ago it had a problem where i would drive the car and it would run no worries for as long as i wanted then if i stopped the car for around 30 mins to an hour, when i would go to drive again it would get about 100 meters then feel like its ...

i can hear it whining/growling as i'm slowing down plus if i'm driving at higher speeds 4th/5th maybe even third when i get off the accelerator there is a funny noise kind of like a dry bearing sound. even with a hint of acceleration it goes away. at first i thought it might have been gearbox or a ...

About to get the rear diff rebuilt in my 97 leaf sprung single cab.the place i'm thnking of taking it said they recommend putting a non collapsable space and shimming the lsd right up. My question is, is there anything else i should do to my diff while its out or must do mods. i wish i had money for ...

if your down in vic any time soon i have 4 front leafs and 4 rears.
i can even show you what lift it gave my hilux as i have put in new suspension but the height of the car is the same as before.

i know heaps of different conversions are done into a rn105 lux. but with limited funds, would a v6 out of the same shape 4runner be an easy conversion. I'de love to stay with a toyota engine but don't wanna go down the v8 or turbo path. iwas thinking i'de be able to use engine,gear box loom etc and ...

what 4x4 is this on

see below

i've tried searching this and possibly due to mild retardation can't find much info. my question is has anybody done power mods to a 22r. i know i might have to go internally ie cam etc. i have extractors but that does stuff all and as the saying goes you can polish a turd but its still a turd. i ...

i want to get 33's under the lux but cant with the current lift. i already have about 2" but they are cheap springs and never really gave a good ride + now i have removed my cage and canopy set up the springs are too firm. i used the wrong term when i said diff relocation plates i meant the wedges ...

hi pretty new to moding 4x4's could do with another opinion or 20 i'm about to put ome 2" springs into my leaf spring all round rn105 single cab, but i'm looking for a bit of extra height. not sure if body lift or extended shackles are the best. also if anyone could give me any extra advice when ...
