Outer Limits 4x4 Board

A good day should sort it. I recently removed my engine/transfer/gearbox including tailshafts in 11 hours by myself as a reference.

They are much longer and will require repositioning of the spring mounts.

Hope you get it sorted mate.

Stop freaking out, it is fine. Think about how the setup works. Whilst I am not familiar with this particular engine, timing belt is driven by lower of the two pulleys (I assume the fuel pump as per the 1H series of Toyota engines?). When it drives, the belt is pulled tight and, in turn, drives the ...

Yeah, I bought a GXL that didn't have a sunroof

The H151F box is the same in both the FZJ80 and the HDJ80. They both run the 12' clutch. I'm not sure if the bellhousings are the same but the HZJ80 and HDJ80 bellhousings are the same. The H150F is just as strong, has a lower first and second gear ratio, and can be mated to the 12" clutch using an ...

Contact Thrashlux mate.

Rust. If it isn't present now, it will be sooner than a non-mine vehicle. One of our work Hiluxes looks ok in the body but there are holes in the aluminium side steps you could put a tennis ball through. It is only a surface vehicle but the ground water they use for dust suppression is very ...

Not without moifications. The length is different, requiring a rear tailshaft modification. I believe there is also a difference in the input and/or output shaft splines.

Definitely not a straight swap.

You want the kit to suit a 1HZ 80 series. It will be the same setup as your 1HD-T. Wouldn't the kit I mentioned above, from the Endless Air site to suit the 80 series factory turbo diesel, work with his 80 series, or is the factory turbo diesel the FTE? Yes Simon that would work, in fact I would ...

You want the kit to suit a 1HZ 80 series. It will be the same setup as your 1HD-T. They are different from the 75 series in the length of the snout on the compressor. The FTE runs a multi groove flat type belt. I have heard that the endless brackets are a bit light on and prone to cracking. Your ...

Cool. Are you doing them for others Jonathan?

Great to see this sort of service made readily available to "converters" like myself. Make's a project that much more achievable.

Just to update, picked up a 1HD-FTE out of a ute with 53k kms for $8500.

No gearbox, just the motor and all associated electricals.

Need to source the other bits for the conversion and will send my harnesses to Steve for modification.

I ran a one inch body lift in mine, sorted out a couple of other clearance issues too

I used a WB Holden four core radiator which also cooled the auto tranny I ran in mine. I have posted the details a number of times on here if you want to find out more info.

Fast work mate. Looking forward to seeing your pics.

I sell Premier, TJM OX, Warn and Ironman Winches. with the exception of the Premier they're pretty much of a muchness, I've got customers that use them and abuse them. maintained they're all good decent winches. . So you can get parts for Ironman winches? please tell me i have a 12k pound winch ...

Cheers mate.

Looking good mate. Am I missing something about playing with injectors and lines? It seems to be a priority for you to be able to access these components easily. I would have thought that they are rarely required to be worked on. Same goes for the valve train. On the rare occasion (as I would ...

Check out this setup. Scroll down the page a bit.

HUGE money though. I have been collecting the parts to build my own but have not started on it yet.

You may want to use something a bit heavier. When you load up drawers with heavy stuff they can get quite a bit of momentum up and the 3mm may bend. Use 6 or 10mm if it will fit and never think about it again.

Okay, if I were only running gauges, no warning lights/switches:

Water temp
Oil pressure
Fuel level

I would not need the oil pressure gauge if I were running a switch/warning light for the oil and would replace it with a voltmeter.

I have a naturally aspirated vehicle.

I have run them in a number of vehicles and the Army run them in their Land Rover variants with dual tanks. I ran two on my Cruiser most recently and both expired due to water ingress to the electric motor that runs the worm drive for changeover (which is vented to atmosphere.) I had previously not ...

Trinity smash repairs in Cairns does some of the best I have seen, though not shown on the updated website. Just as far away from Brisbane as Melbourne is though.

I ran a (brand new) four core HZ V8 radiator in mine and used the built in transmission cooler with good results. I had a 1 inch body lift.

I have had the blue Chescold for nine years. I would add that it will not perform well in high temperatures (even on gas), as in 40+c. I have a 120ah 2nd battery and it is good for a few hours but any longer than that and I am looking for the gas. I am careful not to put hot things in the fridge ...

I would imagine easier = cheaper. I'd be interested in the price difference between the two cab styles. Perhaps he charges a lot more for an extra cab conversion?

Smart man. His work looks great.

The quality of the fabrication work and finish looks great boys. Very tidy.
