Outer Limits 4x4 Board

No ... Most of the plumbing would be stainless steel, with a couple hoses at each end, which are mostly shorter than a stock setup. 100s of racing buggies etc with radiator sitting inches behind the seats and no incidents that I know of. There's always a risk of a radiator "blowing it's top" but if ...

That dodgy mob on Grand Junction Road out Wingfield way usually have a heap of good 7.50s in stock.

hmmm ... ok ... seems I heard wrong ... ... which isn't hard


Pretty sure it's no big block ... still a bit of elbow room under the bonnet.

I'm not real familiar with the GM product so I am only guessing ... looked about Holden 308 size donk lurking in there.

nothin' special. Suspension lift, 5 litre holden V8 and some panel work AFAIK.

Usually seems to have a wheel fall off at every event I've seen it

Very entertaining to watch tho ...

... Cranky I reckon it's time you got some diffs off a full size 4X4 truck so ya don't have to run silly offset on ya wheels

First I'd do is take out the radiator and take it to a radiator bloke for a proper clean out! Chances are most of the flutes in the core are full of crap, and the Rad dude will take off the tanks, and poke a little cleaning rod thingy through each of the flutes in the core. The old "flush the ...

Looks like a nifty little jigger.

One suggestion if I may ...

Replace the light mountings with some motorcycle type rubber mounts ... will pay itself back in less breakages from backing it into the scenery.

I would go to HERTZ or BUDGET and hire a flatbed truck and ramps.

Metho and newspaper.

used it for 30+ years


well ... different bits of newspaper ... you get my drift tho...

... stop at weighbridges for inspections probably won't happen. In the 9 + years I've had my '78 Terry, I have only ever been stopped once at a W/Bridge, and that was with a tarped load. I've pulled in several times, but they've waved me on soon as they see I only have either the ute or the lil'ole ...

someone mentioned 6mpg on petrol earlier with full load ... ;) last trip to my brother's place with a 2.4 tonne tractor and some assorted stuff cost about 12mpg, and return empty at about 15. @ 100kph most of the way 1 problem with the 'it will cost less and i can buy a lot of fuel for that' is ...

We DO like trucks tho...

I have a 1978 4.4 Leyland Terrier (petrol) in the same weight range. Unloaded I get about 14 mpg, with a best of 17mpg. Full loaded (7.8 t) about 6mpg, & up to 9 on a good road. Have spoken to a bloke with the same jigger on gas and he gets about the same figures, - petrol or gas. I'd be looking for ...

the tyres in question are directional, so rotation will only consist of moving tyres front to back on the same side. Would this still fix the problem? It will help but this problem will never be fixed. it is the way of tyres, and the price you pay for running chunky rubber on road. I have the same ...

How long since tyres were rotated? This is normal heel-toe wear for bulky treads. different tyres will do it to different degrees on different vehicles. However ALL tyres on ALL vehicles WILL do it. To fix, rotate your tyres. Minor things will change the effect, such as shocks and alignment etc. but ...

Currently using a au falcon sedan, and it can get a bit scary! as said, if the heavy tow pack is already fitted to the falc, he'll be struggling to find better, other than the wagon version.

It is always possible to re-groove tyres. also possible to get new keyboard so ya can get the second "o" out! ;) (I will one day) :oops: :D Note that once they are re-grooved they are no longer road worthy, unless they are made and marked as being re-grooveable. Most truck tyres can be done, and ...

I would be happy to take a Niva up the cape;- but then I have a couple years experience with them, and know them quite well. For a first timer, I don't think so. They have their own little foibles, although no more than an old Patrol or cruiser. Neither would be any more reliable (or unreliable for ...

just call Lightforce and tell'em all about it.

Fair chance they'll sell ya a new bit cheap!
