Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I have a set of custom length Gq arms, that are just the right size for my Hilux coil conversion, obviously the 4 runner mounts are to big, Wondering do I just get the 80 arms and bushes I have lengthened, or make a bush up so that I can fit the GQ arms, I notice everyone using Nissan bushes over ...

I've bought a second hand superior transmission handbrake, have fitted the bracket and disc, but my cable is way to long, can anyone else who has done this tell me whether I need to change the front cable or is there something else different I need to know, any advise appreciated, otherwise I'll ...

Are these guys still around, tried calling today on a number I had last year is disconnected, trying to chase a IFS spacer kit.

I don't have the body anymore to get the code, The crown wheel on the diff I have has 39 teeth, my 4.56 has 41, so I'm asssuming the diff I have is a 4.3 is this correct, it was out of a 89 model petrol 4 runner.

Thanks Dave, Castor is good, I have thought about a panhard for it, someone recommened it a few years back,I also have a 4.6 Hi pinion centre and bundy steering arms to put in soon. Is about 50mm lift now, has had some bits taken out.

Thanks Joel, helps a lot.

about 5 degree decline from the pitman arm

Is already in, how stupid do you think I am

Wondering if someone could help diagnose this problem, have set up X over on LN106 lux, steering box is pretty much as far forward as I could get it, 70 series pitman arm, 60 tie rod, to superior flipped arm.

When I steer the car if I steer to the right it pushes one side of the car up, and to the ...

Anyone done this, finished coils and was wondering what needs to be done to set the handbrake cable up. haven't had time to look at a 4 runner, or manual to see how they are set up, is being fitted to a 92 LN106, diff was from a 96 4 runner I think.

For all the work that is involved, why not just get an 80

If your worried about onroad, V6 commo is my option for my Lux, I've got a CT20 on my 3L, with 230K on the clock, goes well, but wish I'd spent the money towards going V6, or other option is 2.7 petty like Beebee and 83 Lux did, will certainly give more bang for your buck,

my 2c

I got some recently of ARB in north Sydney, from memory was around $55 each for genuine ARB, I had also priced them through TJM who wanted $ 90+, so even with freight your still way in front.

Have put a patrol tank in my hilux and the sender is a different frequency to the Lux sender, there is a guy in blacktown who can change this, but as I work six days a week can't get to him, so wondering what other options are available, should I get a new Hilux sender(my old lux one is dead) and ...

Give Landy Spares in Silverdale a ring, I got a 80 of them for $100, ended up swapping it though for a 70, so they may still have it.

ie it comes free with the toyota ct20 turbo when you bolt it on

I'm with ya on that one, especially with pipe cut of behind cab, A super duper mega happy special whistle setup

My work ute goes just about as many places as my Lux, A Ford courier IFS, 29 A/T's, although it does have the IDGAF advantage.

I'm going lockers, I've gotten further with A/T's on some tracks than with boggers, and only rear locker.

I had mine up to 8" lift at one stage, way unstable, and less effective have ripped most of that out and am replacing with wider diffs, My lux worked best when it had no body lift 2" extended shackles, it ran 33's no probs, and was still a good DD, now it's a peice of crap to drive.

I've found 4.56's pretty easy to come by, usually around the 150, have got a few for $50 bought whole bundera diff for $250 with 4.56 high pinion, which also leaves me with two spare cv's, axles

I'm running seats out of a Suzuki Cino, take up less room, comfy, would like to swap em out for some Grand Vitara as soon as I find some, leaves heaps more room in little Luxy Cab.

Mines doing exactly the same with 3L motor, just had new clutch and new centre bearing put in, so could be mounts, mines done it since I swapped my front diff centre to the rear, could be pinion, just been to lazy to put new one in.

Mine's using about the same with a turbo as well, running 35's.

Not for me to say but I think it's his DD as well, would be pretty harsh drivin round with welded diff all the time, welded diffs are great, we've destroyed many a rally car and the welded diff has held up, but a mini spool will give desired result, and still keep a capable DD.

Spool it, see heaps on ebay, there not expensive.

Has it got standard drag link (straight) or a dropped draglink, like this.....

(P.S. this one is for sale $70, 0402 894 355 )

Second that, give tis to the diff guy

With 8" of lift, prob run 10's, I was running flipped 10's made lux very stable, with 5" of lift, and 14.5 wide boggers

Whilst not the wheel bearings, same seller also had hilux centre bearings, I bought 3 centre bearings $30 each, which is 3 for the best price I could get from repco for 1, had one in for 7 months, and still like new. .

At the end you get what you pay for, but my experience has been all good.

I second, save your dollars, drive it onroad and build a kick ass suzuki for offroad, will cost the same, and go way further.

Boggers are an awsum tyre, Sold mine for cash to go OS, now I'm missing them , you won't get a better tyre, use to run mine at 8 psi, and never broke anything, my panels on my Lux have been chewed out but no damage to the tyres.
