Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Nice tip will certainly look into this when it comes time to do fit a double cardin to my 80

The only tyre i know of that can be legaly re-groved is one that has RE-GROVABLE moulded into the sidewall.

Normally only on truck tyres.

Pretty sure you can't legaly do it to a passenger or light truck tyre.

But then also a simex bias ply tyres isn't a raod legal tyre to start with.

The feeler guage should slide in the gap snug but not have to be forced.
If you have to force it in then the gap is to small for that particular size.

Give these guya a try.

they send shit all over the country and always seem to have hd engines in stock.

ok all now im really lost.

where do i buy rebuild kits? no one seems to have them or able to get them besides one guy but apparently you cant replace the bores/sleeves?

im really over this now hey...

cheers mark

These guy's will be able to get all top quality engine parts and kits for you ...

I will more than likely be spectating again.

What are the entry prices this time?

Cool no probs mate, just looking at finding a 12ht for me 60, really looking for one i can rebuil but also depends on the $$$$$$$

Haven't heard of anyone doing this before.
Should be sweet once it's done.





P.s how much $$$$ are you looking at for the 12ht?

Well as has been said before one hell of an event.
Didn't even know about this till i read the boarder mail (Albury local paper) on Sat morning, at the folk's place. Was meant to be going fishing on Sunday but that plan kinda got changed real fast (best choice i made for the weekend).

Good to see ...

could also be the spring pack clamps need reclamping

Cool thanks guys will tacke all the info into consideration as i get the job done .
Will have pics when its all done.
Need to find an engine & gearbox to rebuild for the coversion now.(will prob find one at work but)

Would be costly normaly but we reco toyota 4wd engines & gearboxes at work all the time.

Just asking to see if there is any probs with the conversion as now body at work has done this one before.

believe theres a guy thats done it on ih8mud.com

exhaust on the other side

need to fab new engine mounts of course,

need gearbox to suit a 1hz, or i think someone said there might be a bell from a 75series that will mate the 1hz to your current gearbox, but not sure about that.

believe a 1hz ...

Has anybody done this or know of this been done as i'm looking at doing it in my 60 & then adding a turbo for good measure.

Any info would be great

This has no doubt been posted before so even a link if somone knows would be good.


Cheers hj60

mine is an 84 model & it has a rear sawybar. don't know if it was an option or not but

The weak link is the front diff and the diff housing itself as its a forerunner diff centre and high pinion - weak in reverse.
.


The diffs in the 80 that everybody thinks are lux or 4runner ones are wrong.
The ones in the 80 are just a l;ittle bit smaller that the 60 ones but they are still ...

Only prob i have with leaving them off is iinsurance, other wise i would leave them off all the time.

The swaybars are located on the front of the axle tubes, you maybe able to see it on this pic

Its running across in front of the diff just below the steering arms.
I take mine off if im going out for a day or more but if less ...

Why cris would you want to disgrace all patrols around the country by putting a toyota donk in it. Would you put a gen 3 in a falcon? Ofcourse you bloody wouldnt its just as ur name says LUDICRIS! Turbo the TB42, put in a diesel, put in a injected 454 in it. just dont go Toyota!


Gen 3 in a ...

It the adjuster pulley ain't turning then that will definatly be a major part of your problem. When you change the pulley also change the bely as this will be stuffed after what you have told us. Better be safe than sorry.

Check out the wreakers then get overhaul kits for them if you have some knowledge on the mechanical side of things.

Yep if anyone knows of this i will be interested

I mounted mine (in the 60 series) accros the trans tunnel just behinde the gearsticks, makes it nice & easy to reach for both driver & passenger.

Air lockers the only way to go
Nothin like having the best of both worlds

All good up & workin now.
Well done Matt

in relation to the hilux bearings.
it would be a good idea to replace the bearings as when the seal leaks it leaks onto the bearing first then it exits after the bearing, in effect this also washes the grease out of the bearing so then all the bearing runs on is the crapy oil wich dosen't last for ...

Would like to be there but that time is to early for me, also wont be able to do anything for the rest of this month but would like to do stuff when im available. hope all works out and a better time is sorted out.

Good luck all

does anyone know of a really good mechanic with heaps of experience with 40 series cruisers around melbourne?? I wanna get my 2f up and running the best it can be. Does any one know any mods that could be done to improve performance on the old donk without using more fuel??

Also when i bought her ...

some people are bloody awful, i was in a car accident last week (hit from behind) the witness's were more worried about the dick that hit me than anybody eles, they didn't even check to see if the guy who hit the front of my car (after i was pushed in front of him) was alright before he went off to ...
