Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I had a ome lift with no tcase spacers and had no vibs, but I also had a 1" body lift and motor mount lift. So if you get any vibs a 1" mml should fix them, good reason to get wack in a 1" body lift at the same time.

I managed 42s with minor cutting and about a 4" suspension lift ( + 6" form the mog diffs)

Im a mechanic on a mine site and we are changing out all the headlights and HID work lights to LEDs.I dont know how much better they are but some operators are saying that the LEDs are to bright to on coming traffic (they are very white).
The thing is the reason everyone is going this way is not ...

nice DVD teaser well done

I had a wrangler on 37x15 there was alot of flex when turning 90deg bends like into streets or going through round abouts at speed but for 90% of the time there was no difference in feeling to the 33s.
Alot of that roll may of just been that I only ran 25psi in them to get a decent foot print on ...

I have had one for several years now and hasnt missed a beat, I payed just under $1000 for mine.

One thing though make sure u get a really good air dryer for it, my torch is on its last legs (is chewed out where the tips go) because of moisture in the air.

Go away

I get 12.5l/100km I thought that was good for a bricked shape 4x4, hwy driving it gets down in the 11s.

While where all on the topic of air filters,

ISUZUROVER u seem to have a interest in filtration, all our new 70series work utes (15 I think) are getting dust in the engines, nothing around the seals so its coming through the filter.

Rang toyota about the problem and they said the dust would have ...

Dont worrie about crankcase pressure it dosent mean shit, as every engine is different. If your worried do a compression test on it, but if it starts ok and drives ok more than likely u have nothing to worrie about.

I have a 5L hilux, If u sit the cap over the hole it bounces and rattles around on ...

Simexs are really bad on rocks, I had them and MTRs, 35et2 simex for mud, ruts and gravel and mtrs for rocks and road. As for a rock tire im still in 2 minds as what was better my 37mtr or my later 39 irocks.
Never driven on the 36 simex but it looks like they have to many center lugs for a mud tire ...

Now that would be a heavy wheel setup.

We just had 8 of the new v8 troopys rock up at work for production to use. They have been cut down into dual cab utes, they look very nice but at 90k each they would want to

Will be just a waist of pipe.

I got my die from blackwoods and the 12t bender from super cheap. I use a 19mm 3/4 drive chrome socket as the adapter between the benders piston and the die.

On my last fill I got 365km on 99L of gas, Its a 5.8 in a F150

Turn your ac on flat out and the air that comes out of the vents is not really that cold, that's why u only run the ac on 2 or 3 so the air has more time in the evaporator giving u cooler air.
Now if u times the heat of the air going into the unit x4 and the flow of the air going through the evap ...

Have u looked at the stak? what about the lovell is its a comp buggy

If u want the hubs u have to buy the axles to go with them, then u will also need a set of unis aswell, the $$ u spend on that mod is going to buy u alot of fuel.

Any one have any idea? mines unpainted and i want to make it red to match the body, Its on a 91 F truck from broken hill NSW so it has seen a bit of sun if that makes any difference to the prep?

Thanks

We use hychill at work on all our gear(mine site).

hychill has a flammable sticker on the side of the cylinder.
U need to use different oil for it,
U need to flush the whole system out with a solvent before filling with hychill to get rid of built up burnt oil and shit, we have had a fair few ...
