Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Thanks for the info guys it's much appreciated. MrGrim (Mark) to answer your questions A. At the moment it's running 31X10.50R15 would like to run 33x12.50R15 B. It's not my daily drive so I reckon a good 80% to 90% will be off road C. It wont be towing a great deal. Just a tiny caravan from time to ...

Hi All I've been getting a lot very useful info from the bibles on here but can't seem to find much info on suspension systems. Just wondering if there is a Suspension bible around on here somewhere. if so could someone point me in that direction. If not, I'm looking to upgrade the suspension system ...

Hi All

I'm looking at getting a 2" suspension lift for my BJ40 as well so I can 33's underneath. I would be interested in what people recommend in the way of shocks and springs. My 40 is going to spend about 70%-80% of it's time off road. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

All rod ends and idler box have been replaced

Hi All My BJ40 has a bit of play in the steering, it's not a lot but it's enough to annoy me. I was wondering if this is something that can be fixed easily (e.g. smaller steering wheel, a new damper or a new second hand steering box), if not, does anyone have any ideas on how to lessen the problem ...

Hi All

I'm looking for a snorkel for my 98 GV. I remember seeing something on here ages ago about snorkels that fit 98 GV's but I can't remember who sold them. If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be fantastic.

Thanks for you help

How about an SOA?... just kidding

doh, don't I feel like a goose

I was talking with someone over the weekend about doing a lift on the GV. They said I might be able to wind up the torsion bars to get a bit a lift. Does anyone recomend doing this?

Thanks

Matt

Certainly wont be fitting a hilux snokel to the GV, that's for sure

I have rang around and emailed a few places. I seem to be getting a mixed bag of responses. I now seem to have more questions than answers. I don't want to go over the top with mods, but I definitely want to get the most out of it off road and still be my daily driver. Not sure what to do :? What ...

Thanks guys, all this info has really helped. One more thing though, has anyone installed or heard about the 2.5" Calmini suspension system. Is that worth looking into?

Thanks again

Matt

Hi All Just wondering if there is anyone out there that has done any simple mods to 98/99 GV? If so, could you please post some pics of it so I can get a rough idea of what mine could look like. Also do they make snorkels for GV's? I can't find one any where. Any help or info would be much ...

Hi All

does anyone know where I can get seatbelts to suit an FJ40 around the Hunter Region? or are there any other seatbelts that bolt right in. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot

Thanks DAZZ,

I've checked out the FAQ section. There is a whole heap of info in there but unfortunatley no pics. You wouldn't happen to know where I could find some. Also is it worth my while buying and building up a Rodeo. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi All, I'm thinking about buying a Rodeo. Does anyone have any information on modifying a Rodeo (e.g. lifting, lockers, bigger tyres, etc). I don't want to build a monster truck but I would like it to be capable both on and off road. Also if anyone has any pics of modified Rodeo's they could post ...

Thanks for that. I've pulled the relay out and it all looks fine to me. Plug maybe a little corroded but it doesn't look enough to effect it. is there a Plan B Thanks a lot

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas about my little problem. My BJ40 starts OK but I have to stall it to turn off. I can turn the key back and take it out and the engine still runs. I think it might be the edick motor, but is there anything else I should have a look at as well.

Thanks a lot

Thanks everyone. I'll give these ideas a shot and let you know how I go.

I've just replaced the guttering around the roof of my 40 and now it's time to put the roof back on. But, there was a rubber seal between the old metal guttering and where it sits on the body. This rubber seal has perished and I need to replace it. Does anyone have any idea where I can get one or an ...

My 40 is 1979 model... and how hard is it to coils and coil diffs into my 40? Also thanks for the help, all this is helping me out heaps.

Do 60 series diffs go straight in? or do I need to do some work?

Is the springover hard thing to DIY?

Hi All, I have a just a stock standard BJ40 (at the moment). I was just wondering what everyone thinks are "must do" mods. I don't want to turn my 40 into a comp truck, but I do want to turn it into a more than capable 4x4. I was thinking of starting with a SPOA conversion. Any other suggestions ...

Hi All, does anyone know a website (here in Oz) that has a list of colour codes for 40 series cruisers. My 40 is a sky blue colour but I can't find a colour code on the compliance plates.

Thanks a lot

Just wondering how hard it is to replace the old rusted guttering with a new fibreglass one. If it's not difficult, what the best way to attack it?

Thanks a lot

Hi All I need to find a cheap and reliable diesel mechanic in the Newcastle area who can get my old girl ready for a blue slip inspection. Not much more needs to be done. I have replaced the brakes and clutch and other little bits here and there. If anyone knows of a great mechanic that would be ...
