Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I think you have to pop out the plastic bit under the head light.

I will have a alloy bar for sale next week if I get my winch bar, on a 1996 NJ GLS with factory flares/plastic.

Interested in info for fitting a GLX steel bar to a GLS, so we think it should just require some notching to go around the flares..?

Hi,

Yes the ctek is fully circuit protected, you can leave everything hooked up and nothing will fry.

Mate I would have to recomend a CTEK 3.6amp should be about $175, Smart charger does everything even a power supply can be left hooked up all the time does not interfer with anything electrical most campers/vans use them now. Water/dust proof.

To work out the current needed Current = Wattage / Voltage so 100/12 = 8.3 amps per light but as someone stated may be more at 14.4V 6 lights = atleast 49 amps to run all you spotties on the 2L the standard alt should put out 40 amps. If the wiring is smaller than 4mm that will not be helping either.

If you do a search or look down the page a bit for the same question by a different person

Good luck.

Mine came good again so, sender wire it is, ahh well I will fix it when it dies properly

Wow that is strange mine just started doing the exact same thing yesterday. Usually runs up around 80 - 90 just yesterday it dropped to nothing then came back up again and was ok from then on. No warning light or anything

WHY????????????

Blkmav not 100% sure always take you original alt and measure to make sure but I am 94.79% sure

Stevo correct the alt does take time to charge the battery but when you hook something up it draws off the alt first then the reserves in the battery.

Thats 60amp at start up burst with a charged battery a normal car battery will handle the 60amp burst with out an alt on it. We are talking constant draw here not start up draw

and yeah the TB45 in the OEX cat should fit your GQ and are 100 amp have you worked out your current draw to find out what you really need? V=IR Amps = watts divided by volts ( someone correct me if I am wrong) so 1 100w spot light will draw 8.3amp's so if the GQ runs 50 amp standard so car draw ...

So your saying that a big boss compressor draws a constant 50 amps plus the residual amps in the battery.

Wow I would get the compressor checked before I blame the alt

You will need to start flicking through catologues to find something with the same mouting and maybe need to mod the wiring. Best bet go to you local parts shop with your alt off the car measure it up and find one that suits. Can be harder that you think. Good luck BTW it is OEX brand you may find ...

might sound silly but have you checked your globes.

Mate, I love also doing DIY on my 4be but I agree with jungle exhuast shop $20 new bit of pipe.

I am sure there are other DIY things you could be doing.

mate try

mate,

go the new phillips +80 range

most autoelecs will be able to get them for you from Ashdown/Ingram

I have a 2.8td GLS mods lift, tyres and exhuast. Made a big difference to torque in 3rd. Long range tank i get 1200 on the high way. and about 13l to 100 around town. Mine has 180 000k's serviced every 5000 does not miss a beat. I am into touring not hard core 4wd so it does all and goes anywhere I ...

Mate, I sell dozens of HID lights to mine sites all over QLD, on scrapers drill rigs, big machinery.

All I can say is you get what you pay for $1000 each is a usual price for decent HID work lights

mate there are 2 different after market wire sizes, make sure you get the thicker wire ones as they will help your lighting situation..

There is a vast difference between LPG and 134A, the first and most important is the big bang factor, namly a leak in the system with LPG (and alot of replacment blends as they are know ) will go bang with any sort of ignition sorce broken lead, cig light in cabin if the evap cracks. Alot of ...

hella make them or google search for led technologies they also do them online

I have a NJ 2.8td I have 31's probably would not put 33's just to help that little bit. I find the 2.8td once you learn how the power curve is great in most 4wd applications except right low down torque like pulling up hills from a dead stop. Like up a boat ramp you need low range for a boat over 17 ...

Guys I manage a major Auto Elec supplier and we size our cable by B&S first then mm2 then amp rating.

If you want the cross referance I can get it all for you or go to

www.ashdown.com.au

i think it is there

Guys my mother-in-law has a auto v6 one and it is average to say the least on fuel up to 16k's per 100.

Anther big thing is earth if you are earthing to the loom somtimes a standard loom may be different so earth straigt to the dash somewhere

Well that is from overcharging.

Just the second battery? If so then yes the system is cactus but if both it maybe you alt

?
Thanks guys looking for experences with power gains v's noise and note quality.

Any info is good info.
