Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Talk to Ben at APT Fabrications in Brisbane. He has done a a lot of R&D into 300Tdi engines. He can supply upgraded (revised matrix) intercoolers mandral bend straight through exhausts, upgraded turbos and custom snorkels. Ben can also adjust the fuel pump to suit the upgrades. Then your 300Tdi will ...

I run a 2 1/2" madnrel bent system with NO mufflers on my 1998 300TDi Defender 130....and it not overly noisy or do I get any sound resinating through the cabin. I has a really sweet note out the back. 3" is too big in my opinion for a 300TDi unless you use mufflers to help with pressure. Cheers ...

For all we know, all you could have picked up is syphilis from the neighbours cat...WE NEED PICTURES!

Hi All Got a mate who needs a tow bar installed on his 2009/10 D22 Navara style side dual cab ute. One tow bar place has recommended a "Boronia tow bar" as it is 15% cheaper then the Hayman Reece or TAG. Anyone had any issues with Boronia? He will be towing a 5 metre glass boat. Cheers Andrew

Thanks Sam

I give them a try.

Ageed...alloy would be a mistake. Sorry didn;t do enough research before posting.

Will try to get a stainless steel tank made.

Hi all

Wanting to get a water tank made to fit the under the back seat of my Defender 130.

Anyone know of an aluminium fabricator who has the gear to make these in Brisbane?

Cheers
Andrew

I would not recommend a Tregg....mine has a lot of year in after about 5 years. It bangs around quite a bit when the trailer is empty.

I will try and pull it apart this weekend and take some pics.

Cheers

Andrew

so...I guess you won't be needing my old roof racks....do you want to sell them back to me?

I need a set for my Defender (just need to get taller legs)

Cheers

I posted a trhead on modding an ARB rear bar some time ago, might give you some ideas..

Do a search under my author code and look for the title "rear bar and guard chop...completed"

Cheers

Andrew

Try Jamie at Fourby's

My last set of 15 x 8's with a 25mm offset cost around $100 each in black powder coated steel.

Cheers Andrew

How did you graph in the tube to the A pillar?

Cheers
Andrew

I miss my old Rangie.

Hi all

Putting together a Warn 9,000 that I received in pieces. After cleaning all the rust and old hardened grease off everything, I am ready to rebuild.

What is the best grease to use? Is high temp bearing grease ok?

Cheers

Andrew

Hi all

I just inheritied a milk crate full of bits which I think resembles a Warn 9,000 pound low mount winch.

I need it put back together and serviced.

Is there someone in Brisbane capable of doing this?

Cheers

Andrew

I am using bits of the kit...like shock mounts and dislocation cones. If you get your hands on "a 4x4 is born" the kits is used on the build up. One big problem is the rear shock sits out a fair and this limits uptravel of the rear tyres. Dave at Rovacraft in Perth is the Aussie reseller. Give him a ...

uep...struck a deal with Grimace, but it did involve promises of dollars, beer, women and a blow up goat...

I had a look on AULRO but was unable to see it...

Please let me know if you find the link

G'day all

I am after a drivers side sill tank to suit a 1986 Rangie.

I looked at LRA's site but at $800, I was a bit shocked.

Are there any alternatives or second hand ones floating around?

Cheers

Andrew

Hi all

I installed a 9 litre tank on the weekend but I need a gauge in the cab so I can monitor the pressure.

I tried Boss Air Suspensions, but they only sell a dual needle gauge.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Andrew

Listen to Shane....

I went down that path, but it worked out so much easier to get the procomp shocks from Shane. Straight forward install with maximum articulation without compromising compressed length.

Hey Shane....did you watch the 4wdaction DVD yet?

Cheers

Andrew

I have looked at both options.....I even bought a spacer block from Rovertym in the US. I have never had any problems with my 3" spring lift with vibration or pinion problems. When I went to install the spacer block, the pre drilled holes in the spacer block forced the diff rotate to an angle that ...

Now that's creative thinking....

MR Automotive in Brisbane.....

Dave_S....What size press did you buy and where from?

Maybe....I should get one...

Cheers

Andrew

Well...after stuffing around for a long time deciding on what to do with modifying the A arm ball joint (to compensate the 3" lift) , I have purchased a Maxi Drive "high" ball. So...are there any tricks to removing the old unit from the housing? I have been able to remove the threaded shaft part ...

I here you

I used to have 33 x 10.5 on 15 x 7 rims...the car felt very tippy and looked weird.

I am currently in 4wd Custom Action No 6 if you want to have a look at my rims.
