Outer Limits 4x4 Board

The ONLY tyre listed on the maverick's placard is is a measley 215 80R 16 which equates to approximately 29.54". 31s are not legal.

What does it idle at on petty? Mine idles about the same on petrol and gas, 750 ish. Idle is adjusted the same way, via the idle screw on the carbie. The large screw inline between the mixer and the carbie is (from what i'm told) a flow restrictor that only works at wide open throttle. Mine is wound ...

Thought about lifting the tray?

A mate did this to his chev v8 diesel powered 47. He bought big 4 inch chrome jobbies and he had to move the tray back to fit em. Personally I hate it, too loud and looks ridiculous. But hey whatever oils your gears.

Sorry for the hijack

Anyone grooved a set of centipedes? I know you can groove out the bridge on the centre lugs, is that it?

Might be worth running a balance tube between the filler bungs. Couple of 90* hose tails and some oil resistant hose is all you should need, oh and some hose clamps of course. Common problem on landcruisers and that seems to fix it.

No sway bars in mine and it handles pretty good. I put my rear one back in once and it didn't make a noticeable difference and a front sway bar does virtually nothing. The front suspension has a very high roll stiffness and works like a giant sway bar anyway so it will body roll but stiffen very ...

You may have some crud in the system and when you pushed the piston in it's pushed the crud back into the master cylinder and under the skirt of the seal on the piston. You might get away with a quick pull down and clean out.

Try searching mate, there's heaps of info on it.

I see your point, but these arms are not legal to be fitted on a registered car in QLD. Neither are my now 3 inch coils and 32s. At least the dodgy cast arms I have are technically legal. Don't confuse me saying legal with stronger, the superior arms are obviously much stronger and much better ...

Not tried roll-starting. With ign on and points open, I am getting 12v to the coil but only 0.7v from the other side of the ballast resistor; which immediately gets so hot it starts to smoke. I will try replacing the ballast resistor today, but I'm now thinking there's a wiring short somewhere in ...

not identical - they dont have bridges between the center lugs half way up the tread depth for stability. Is that what they are? I thought it was the (awfully tall) wear indicators. Ripper, my ETs are still legal...sort of. nar the wear indicators are further down again on the simex - most people ...

It's a sleeve that slips onto a damaged shaft, particularly where a seal has rubbed a groove into it.

You can temporarily bypass the ballast resistor. If left bypassed permanently, it will burn out the points quicker. But at least that way you'll be able to rule it out if it still won't fire.

Recap/remould I thought were the same thing , sorry could have the name wrong. But anyway they are not a retread, that is what you definitely want to stay away from.

These look pretty damn good, however so far I could only find listings up to 32" for them. Surely they will bring out 33s and 35s like they're older brother.

Huge expense no, trial and error no. For all we know this suspension eg shocks ect is what the customer insisted on.? $1300 for a pair of 5 inch arms is expensive enough but add $490 each for the SRC shocks just to get it to work better looks awfully expensive to me. There are a massive amount of ...

Lucky it's not a maverick then, I can't even run 31s without breaking the law

It was this that I was unimpressed about as my mates truck, of which the whole kit was installed by Suspension Stuff, braked unevenly when pushed hard, handled like a bag of. on the road and was outflexed by my shitta with a radius arm bolt out. He was rather disappointed. At the end of the day one ...

thanks for the tips =-) what size piping would u recommend its a 2h diesel If you get a hold of a factory snorkel, be sure to get the later model one. The ones fitted to the 2H powered 75s have a real narrow orifice where the join is. This is bad news when/if you fit a turbo. The newer ones have a ...

Sorry to hijack this a little, but say there is water in the oil, could it be valve clearance? As I know someone with the same issue! After replacing headgasket, it idles funny and has water in the oil. No, unrelated (unfortunately for your friend). Water in the oil could indicate a cracked head or ...

it must be remembered that the axle is a solid beam in the front although you are connecting with different size plates but if the coils and shocks do their job it will hold the truck stable under braking It was this that I was unimpressed about as my mates truck, of which the whole kit was ...

The search function is your friend, enjoy....

hey thanks heaps for the info fellas i will do the testing of my shocks ,hey do any of use go 4wdin with that bolt out i cant see it being any weaker as the driver side only has the 2 in ? I do it, not all the time and only when driving slow through some real rough stuff, same with another mate in ...

A good friend of mine has a suspension stuff 5 inch kit, Super flex arm passenger side and drop arm drivers side plus a whole lot of other goodies. Believe me, when you brake hard enough, it does exactly what I said.

No, they're recaps, there is a significant difference.

ive got the flex arm in atm with hd 5in coils and have a shit load of room left under the gaurd but to tell you the truth i dont no if its the shocks or the springs or wat that is stoping it from flexing does anyone no how big of shocks you can fit without bottoming out on my set up ? Have a close ...

1 KW = 1.34 HP

Rule of thumb is HP at the wheels = KW at the flywheel. That's very generalised but close enough. You generally lose about 1/3 of your engines power through drivetrain losses.

Get the preload right, keep them in check, you should have worry free motoring for years before needing replacement.
