Outer Limits 4x4 Board

funny enough i got an exchange reco box wen mine packed it in... eventualy lost 1st gear, figured it was easier and quicker then having mine rebuilt. was sposed to have all new bearings, sincro's seals, new main shaft, modified 1st gear washers and new selector folks, i instaled it and straight away...

possibly shot bearings in the box, or i had similar noises in my cruiser, although it was 1,2,3 and 5 but 4 was good. it turned out to be a cluster shaft in the box. the noise couldnt be heard if u had the transfer in nuetral and went through the gears, & couldnt be heard if u coasted with the c...

thanks guys,
stinger, wot did that cost you to have made?

nar, dont want to just throw a standard one back in, i wanna fix the problem, so upgrade time :snipersmile: probably get the ends chooped off and have a stronger center put back in it, but then it will need to be ballanced and all that so just wondering if any one knows a good tail shaft maker that ...

i went for a 4by run yesty and turned my tail shaft into a cork screw, so does any 1 know of a good place to go to, to have a new one made up?

thanx guys, i was just curious to see wot others have thought after changing the ratios. yeah transfer reduction gears are in the plans 4 later, n for now my ute's only got the non turbo 1hz, wen it dies i'll be chasing a commy v8 doner engine. as far as the reason 4 me wanting to change the diff ge...

thanks 94lux. i,ve bn lookin into geting the 4.56 gears. so by the amount of veiws but lack of replies on this thread can i just asume that nobody bothers regearing their diffs after throwing on a bigger set of tyres... cum on guys, any 1 out their (that owns a cruiser preferably) but 4 the sake of ...

my 79series diesel cruiser runs 35's with standard 4.3 ratio diffs, it copes just fine although driving up a long steep hills on the highway it'l drop to 95 - 100 ks. although this doesnt realy bother me but i'd like to gear it down a litle for offroading. reduction gears for the transfer are in the...

id bet on the starter solinoid,( u can get a new 1 from most auto eleco's) my old hilux did the same before i had the starter rebuilt, although if the soliniod has packed it in it'd probly be worth ur while having the whole starter rebuilt if money alows as the rest is probly on its last legs 2.

I don't know why anyone would even consider the HZJ if they can afford a factory turbo? 1HD-FTE is 10x the engine a 1HZ is.

Availability, if buying 2nd hand.... and sum people just dont like turbo's. but yes they have better runnig gear

i have a hzj79. i run 35 baja's as my every day cruisin tyres ( and this is my every day driver so it actualy clocks up k's... it doesnt sit in the shed for most of its life). im a tradie so it cops a fair bit and it does wot it was made to do, it works hard through the wk, and plays on the wk ends....

i agree, the only solution would be the shut off solinoid being faulty. it must be sticking or jamed open, cause once the power is cut to the solinoid it should close and therefor cutting off the fuel supply.

had a mate have a similar problem on a surf a few yrs ago, although his got stuck in 4wd and we had to reverse the air lines to get it 2 get out of 4wd so we could get it home, his was sumtin to do with the solinoid valve from memory

thanks 4 the sugestions. as far as i no toyota dont make the improved 1 piece shaft. couldnt get 1 wen i tryed a few months ago. but after a few phone calls got a hold of one of the head guys of the supplier, thay had a bad batch of the shafts that they already knew about and i was unlucky enough to...

my 79 series ute has bn converted to coils in the rear, (they come standard with leaf rears n coil fronts) heaps happy with the rears, still toying with the fronts to make them work the way i want them to. but i have the problem of having a ute that can be used as a work horse through the wk and a t...

mine did similar to this a few months ago, although wen coasting down hills it was worse. rebuilt the transfer put it back together and problem solved.

probly start with extension shackels, not very expensive and not hard to do urself which will keep the price down. if u have sum skills and a oxy/welder and a few other tools make sum rock sliders, scrub bars, rear bars etc will make it look good ans save heaps of $$$, then work ur way up to the mor...

got a 79 series landcruiser, on to my 3rd transfer input shaft in 7 months. On these the out put shaft from the gear box and the input shaft to the transfer are joined with a sleeve, after stipping the spline off of the original toyota jobby (aparently a common problem) i replaced it with an after m...

stacks look good, but it depend wot sort of driving you want to do. i considered stacks for my 79 series, but after sum thought worked out that they wouldn't last very long in the bush,... i have clearance issues as it is and i would simply rip them off same as driving lights on the rear bar, alread...

yeah i agree, gonna need sum more info, but if its coming from the top, have you checked the breathers???

just a follow up 4 any1 interested, ive tossed the thermo, and put on a new Viscous clutch fan, mayb wot happened to mine ( fan chopping up radiatior in deep water etc) is a common fault with these series cruiser as the new fan has about a 1 inch further back offset in it then the old original one.....

i had a manual control switch to turn it on, and i had it running from the time the engine starts to the time it turns off, street drivin was fine, but doesnt cope with hills on highways

yeah thats wot i am planning on doin, but i already installed the thermo set up and falked out the dough for it so ive bein trying to make the thermo set up work, "I don't think that the fan clutch is supposed to protect your radiator from the fan in deep water, that isn't what it is designed t...

IF in doubt, u can call a totoya spare parts dealer and if u quote ur VIN number thay can look it up in a few seconds and tell u exactly wot it was in ur car specificaly wen it left the show room floor and its free. or the website http://www.toyodiy.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);ret...

I've go a 79 series land cruiser wich i recently droped into a hellova puddle, and the engine fan was paddeling water and went through my radiator resulting in a broken fan blade and a choped up radiator, so firstly obviously my fan clutch didnt work the way it should av, but any way so i tossed the...

sounds a bit like the timing is out, that would explain the lack of power, hard starting, and smokey exhaust. Mine did the same wen i changed injector pumps before the pump it self was tuned properly, and it also made the exhaust change notes and appear louder although it did still start easily. did...
