Outer Limits 4x4 Board

OK, so I know you can't do a BL if you have airbags. And I know it's because of the airbag sensors.... So why can't you just move the sensors to suit? Like you would barwork to have it sitting in the right position again? Honestly, I have no idea what the sensors look like and how they're fitted, so ...

Also, lowering tyre pressures is not so much about bagging them out (east-west) but increasing the track (north south). The two work hand in hand, but there are variances in different brands as to how much.

Seriously, everyone's an 'expert'.

I don't see a problem, the GLXR has 265/70/R16's Standard.

Same. I have one with no rust I'm trying to get rid of. Very tidy one too...

I'd check that this applies in Australia, then I'd say go for it if it does. We are so confident in the quality of these winches that we are offering a 3 year Warranty. In addition, we are certain that you will be completely satisfied when you see it and test it, that we have a 14 Day Return Policy ...

OK yeah. Accessories are ARB Bar, Aldispec wench, lights.

Oh, and fishing rod holders.

Is it worth upgrading to heavy duty torsions, or just wind them up? It's for a Triton, but I see that as irrelevant. I'm adjusting for accessory sag (20mm-ish) plus going up probably 2" and fitting bigger tyres (up 2 sizes). I'm happy winding up for the sag, but if going further, should I upgrade ...

What's the question mate? Can you do it? Are the 4.11s a straight fit?

While we're going, I have an 05 GLXR 2.8TD and it has 4.363's.

Shouldn't need the steering extended with only 30mm.

$1k at ARB... That should get you a tyre deflator.

They're a slider. Or 'Protection bar' as they call it. Probably wouldn't put them on a comp truck, but they'll do me fine.

I'll get some pics of the ones on my mates truck and post them.

have you looked at ARB sliders? My housemate bought an ex ARB truck yesterday, and when we were picking it up, I asked for a price for the Triton... $650, $115 fitting. With the chequerplate tops. I was going to have some custom made at mates rates for $1000, I think I'll just get the ARB ones now ...

I would mount sidesteps there, but not sliders. put 1500kg of truck on it and they'll bend REAL quick.

The 1st gen 4runners mount factory sidesteps to there.

U-bracket to the chassis rail, the only way to go.

I'll come and wear a red shirt...


I bag's cleaning the beach gutters I have all the necessary equipment.

Don't quote me... Detroit locker?

Are there any numbers stamped or etched into it?

I'm pretty sure most of the components will fit. Do you have PS already or is it a new fitout? If you have it already, you'll be able to play Dr Frankenstein.

Body lift, Wind up torsions, lifted springs, tyres.

Because your car's a pussy?





But no, sorry, I know nothing about the 3.4L's.............

2" body lift and 33x10.5's will only rub at full lock when the front or back is tucked into the guards. I understand that he doesn't want to go too crazy, but I don't see 33's as too crazy. the extra clearance will come in handy too.

I'd be scared to think how the 18r would go with an auto.....

Why not a 5-speed? Could have it done in an hour or two.....

A gearbox that was bolted to the back of any truck with an L series motor. You'll just need the bellhousing too. +1 for stick with the G52. Get it rebuilt, or I've got one sitting in the shed that I don't need. For all the shit they get given, I've never seen one die - and my mates have mostly had ...

Sounds like no problems

I found out the one I'm looking at has 80,000 on it.

Just waiting on the bank to stop mucking around

hey mate, i just took out my 3Y and putting a reco'd 4Y in... same engine mounts and all... not a hell of a lot of power gained but for a cheapy its pretty good... hope this helps somewhat... That's the way to do it. 22r isn't as straight forward as you'd think. I got half way through and dumped it ...

Guys, Looking at getting an 05 GLXR. 5-speed TD - anything I need to know about? I know the owner and have done for a few years. He's never had a problem with it (that he's told me) and gets it serviced when it needs it. He's had it since new, and has only started taking it offroad in the last 18 ...

There you go. Never looked too hard at them knowing I'd never buy one

A bit of wank factor really, and we already have commodores for that

agreed. They could have at least had low range

I've looked into it before.. $450 rebuilt. Apparently rebuilding it yourself would usually only last 12 months or so until it flogs out again. The reason I was told is that it's all about getting the correct amount of 'free play' in it and it's a very precise rebuild. My mechanic said he didn't even ...

Tyre question - Tossing up between 31" and 33" muddies, car has 2" of body lift and 2" suspension lift. 33" should fit? and what are the pro's/con's about bigger tyre size, why do people want bigger tyres? 35's? 33's will fit easy with 4" lift. Pro's/cons has been answered many times and there's ...

Probably. It's all relative to the motor it's going to.

Ive seen the car in the flesh just after it was built. It did that Canon Ball Run race many years ago now as well. It was built in a shed out Redland Bay way. Yeah same, great looking thing. Remember salivating over it before I was 4wd-bug-bitten. http://www.reocities.com/dfmoawad/ute1.html ...
