Outer Limits 4x4 Board

All good. Bit of mud in the radiator and the clutch in the Datsun. Repaired the air locker loom and also replaced a snapped control arm. Hobbsy had one bent rim and mud in the radiator. Great event. Had password and new e-mail glitches hence new username. Frank, Mark wasn't there. Where was Mark?

They are standard 80 series tie Rod ends. Hope this helps.

I like it. Although there has been a lot of work put into it its a very tried and trued design that has been around a very long time.

Now someone needs to make them for Cruisers and Patrols.

Check that the starter is not locked in the engaged position. If that failes loosen the bellhousing and then try and turn the engine over. You may not have aligned the converter into the pump properly when bolting up the auto. Seizing the pump in the auto.

It sounds like they have made a lot of RH drive arms and they are not selling. They prob wont make any ...

I ended up buying one of these out of china- http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... K:MEWNX:IT" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Cost me $7.80 delivered. Will just split it open and rewire it for the positive supply only.

A direct (unswitched 12v) line for the memory (standby power) for the radio is what is needed. One of the wires on the radio should be marked as "memory","clock", or "standby power", this is what usually supplies the inbuilt clock they usually have. These usually only require a few milliamps (10 ...

Thanks I wonder how that would go being energized at all times though. Would it drain much power while the truck is turned off? I don't want to turn up for work at 1am Monday morning to find flat batteries.

I'm currently working in a truck(although it's more s piece of machinery) it has a 24v system but it has a 12v set up for lights etc. Prob is it was never built with the intention of having a radio(cd player) installed. It's had one fitted aftermarket. Prob is when the key is off the 12v shuts down ...

Yes.

So if you take the upper arms out and the weight of the car off the diff,then try and roll the diff it will somehow compress the steel lower arms,shorten the wheelbase and also miraculously the diff move up aswell? Theres no way the diff can move up and down and defy gravity so "thats a lie" that ...

Got a height on them at all? Concidering 2x120w one on top of the other on the front bar but they may be to wide for the top one under the top tube of my bar.

This is not exactly tech....... It would be appreciated if you would post in the appropriate area (Gen Chat)

Def Tech he is asking about building a trailer.

Find me a ute cab and chassie micka and ill start on another one Ive got a hilux here I plan to build up one day but if I coulds get another Defender cab and chassie I would actually prefere to build another locked/lockless again.

No on all acounts. The cab mounts are different, The engine mounts and gearbox mounts are different and it will not be able to be registered very easily. If at all.

thanks for the kind words guys. :cool: product is still being tested while production is under way. they're getting some good beating and i have yet to tighten a steering arm stud. i used to have to tighten them a few times per trip but these havent loosened or moved in 5 trips. i'm glad i went ...

Yes and the car has never been the same again. Went from looking like one of the coolest Defenders in Aus to the Ugliest very fast.

Im also interested in 2 120w One spot one spread and 2 36w both spreads.

The only rig I wish I still had. Mid mounted(Well completly behind the front axle anyway) 3.9efi, LT230, ZF with Hybrid diffs running Hilux centres and Haultech Electronic Traction Control. 37" BFG Krawlers. Only thing I would have added to that car was Lockers. TT05_06_010.jpg TT05_06_008.jpg TT05 ...

those chinese copies look a bit slinker spec compared to the rigid . wouldnt put something that nasty looking on my tj . And at $800 for the 20" Rigid I would hope they are better Quality and look better. But surely they can't cost that much more to manufacture. I would be happt to spend $180 on a ...

First lot of day time driving lights (5x 1w LED) that I bought from this mob are still all a goer. They used Japanesed made LED's, and quality wasn't too bad. Group buys don't usually work. But! * * * GROUP BUY ANYONE * * * ???? 36w: US $54.00 ea. 120w: US $180.00 ea. How long is the 120W?

thats the Tacoma

The Tacoma is not the same as our Hilux either.

The 80 series front diff although the same size crown and pinion is different to the low pinion hilux crown and pinion. They are not interchangable. The high pinion is a reverse cut gear set. I beleive 5.29 gears are available for the 80 series front new aftermarket.

He does realise that the Prado is a soft roader as well right? And the Disco is defianatly more LPG friendly. The Prado V6 is not a real fan of LPG. Your going to buy a lot of Disco for 20K but you may get a decent stock Prado for that money. Repairs and Parts would be no more expensive on the Disco.

Do I still have to line up or even pay if I arrive in a helicopter? Its not like im going to sneek through the gate without paying.

Come on guys there has to be someone on the south coast that can help Emma out. From what she has told me its a fatality waiting to happen.

A freind out in the desert said it got 18 overnight and 65 or so during the day. Thats in *F not Celsius. My wife being almost 5 motnhs pregnant now said she didnt want to sleep in the swag. Slacker. We got a hotel room in Yucca Valley, which is about 30mins from hammertown. So we'll see you guys ...

There is only one reason Snake Racing is currently cheaper than Locktup. Thats because Chris was taking business away from Ryan in a big way. Snake will only undercut Locktup untill they are gone and then you can all expect to pay 3x the US price on anything Snake sells. Plus shipping on top of that ...

Just spoke to Ben. His Auto is all repaired and going back in the car tonight. Hopefully it has no more issues.

He said it is freezing cold on the lakebed so take warm clothes.
