Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Im not into serious rock hopping but i will do a fair bit of beach work, and dirt road touring. As for mods, probably susp, bar work, LR tank, and 33"s

I am upgrading from a zuk to a hilux and have a max of 30K to spend. So far my preferred choice is an x-tra cab with the 3.0 ltr TD. What do u guys think ? any comments would be greatly appreciated.

grimbo u need to tak a chill pill mate. I dont know, maybe u need to rub one out or smoke some danny green.

BFGs all the way. I have bashed them all over the state of WA from Kunnunurra to Albany, and not one puncture, i will probably get 70 000km from them. I have LT 225/70/R16

i had the same problem when i fitted coil spacers to my vit. the front wheels toed in heaps. I got some camber bolts from local suspension shop and it fixed up the problem no worries.

how high is the lift kit coz it doesnt look that high at all. I have a lil swb vitara with the same tyre on and they are awesome. I have don 60000km on them and still have 50% tread left. When they wear out im gonna fit the same tyre but in 235/70/R16

thats wierd because if my original fuel tank was 51 ltrs, i used to get about 56 ltrs in it, and it was a stock tank. This was even with dents in the tank.

I have a 97 2.0lt SWB and was wondering what the fuel tank capcity is. The manual says 70 ltrs but im sure mine was smaller. Thanks for your help.

I was driving today and some stupid casey donovan look alike slammed right up my arse. Im glad because i already had a stuffed rear bumper which is now even more stuffed. However, previously my fuel tank was also dented and i wanna say it got damaged so i can get a new one on insurance. It goes to ...

how much do extractors and exhaust cost, and how much extra performance do they generate.

normal unleaded which is =91ron ?

Everything is stock, except a 50mm suspension lift and 225/70/R16. It seems that over the last 6 months the power has decreased, but i had it serviced and compression is still spec.

Im sick of my cars lack of grunt, particularly on the road either up hills or overtaking. I was wondering what would be the most suitable performance upgrade, and how much extra grunt would i get.

In my experience, i have to agree with Area54. 235/85/R16 at low pressure bag out nicely. I like this size tyre the best, because it is the most versatile,it can do sand, rock hopping, and return good mileage on the highway. Also im from Perth and recently went to Sydney, and there are homos ...

I want to upgrade the globes in my 97 2.0 SWB vitara but i dont know whether the headlights are plastic or glass. Also im having real trouble getting the rubber boot of the globe any ideas? Someone said narva +50s but if i have glass i want a higher wattage globe.

235/60/R16 is a shocking tyre size. Its way to low in profile, and would be crap off road. MY vitara came with 215/65/R16 and they were shit

how do u tell, the RAC fella seemed to think it wsnt the fly wheel

My starter motor finally died last nite. It sounds like ithe teeth arent catching. Any one know wot goes wrong wif them, RAC fella said i need a new one.

yeah i might stick to the BFGs All terrain. Here in WA we got mostly sand, and small sharp rock. The only really common mud we get is up north in the wet, but driving on wet tracks wrecks them. I was considering Coopers AT, Bridgestone AT or Kumho AT (cheap). BFG are the only ones with 3 ply ...

Im looking for new AT tyres in sizes 225/75/R16 or 235/70/R16. Currently i have bfgs and im thrilled with them. Most of my driving is on road, and on beach tracks. I need a LT construction.

i took the IPF of my dads prado b4 he sold it, and there are good but not worth the retail price. I hit a roo and the bolt pulled thru, but a hammer fixed it. tough and reliable so i have no complaints

Best - suspension and coil spacers giving extra clearence, i have commordore shocks in the rear giving heaps more wheel travel, BFGs are great, and my 6x9s in the back


Worst- i bought some yoko geolander tyres and they were hopeless, and costs more than BFG,

Im in the process of looking for new tyres. Its either going to be 225/75/R16 or 235/70/R16. At the moment i have 225/70/R16 BFG at which are great. I drive mostly on the road. My off roading is mainly beach work, and rutted tracks. BFG looks to be the strongest AT tyre around. I had yoko geolanders ...

the vl shocks work a treat, i have heaps of wheel articulation, and the spring doesnt look like falling out in a hurry

so all up my vit is 55mm above OE height, with coils and spacers

i put the vl shocks in after finishing uni today and then went to test the articulation. I was relieved to see that fully compressed, the Vl shocks are the same lenght as my originals, yet had 6cm more travel. I ramped it up and the spring has no chance of coming out. It was the first time i had ...

ok i might just get some tie wire. So the ride is ok on them? or will there be heaps of body roll?

so u got no problems once it is tied in there? does the zip tie loosen over time?

gday steve.
yeah the vl shocks are 590mm and i have 30mm raised coils wif a 15mm spacer in them. Hahah wot u reckon
Articulation should be kik arse, hope ride is good

ok. sorry if i sound dumb but how do i wire it , and where do i attach it
