Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hey mate, if your goin to go to local bolt bloke, u may as well get hi-tensile bolts, just to b on the safe side. have u tried to turn bolt with multi grips from the opposite side of bolt??? probly ur cheapest way rather than spending $3 dollars. spray some wd40 on bolts over night, next day measure ...

hey mate, i did know a while ago but forgot now, but i did. ring marks 4wd adaptors and they told me. give them a buzz if u like

hey mate, hope this helps, ive got a 89 triton 4x4, originally 2.6/5speed, and i converted it to a later model ecotec v6/ auto. got conversion kit from marks adaptors, was a simple conversion, there instructions are very clear, although i had to put a 2inch body lift otherwise body would hit ...

hope this helps, i replaced my 89 triton 4cyl transfer case to a 93 triton v6 transfer case, it was a straight swap. spline were exactly the same, but there is a difference in the pajeros cant really remember what though, give the knobs at marks 4wd adaptors a call, there the ones that told me

thanks for the replies, i will be running a standard internal efi fuel pump, would it be easy to pump it to the other tank? is that what everyone else does? could i have a switch to switch over electronically??

hey guys, was lying under my car the other day and noticed i have a big empty space opposite my original fuel tank. now my tank is a 70l and i would like to put a 70l on the other side, but im not too sure how to plumb it up. my ute has a v6 commy engine if this helps. id like to run an aftermarket ...

hey mate, ive had the same thoughts, the conversion your after will set u back roughly 10k and onwards. your best option is to convert to 75series diffs or dana 35's but your problem is the transfer case, u will need an adaptor plate to mate up the new transfer case to your gearbox. the IFS transfer ...

earlier commdore v6 have 125kw@4800rpm-292nm@3200rpm, ecotecs start from 147kw@5200rpm-305nm@3600rpm, with the help of a turbo bolted to its side, well....endless! my opinion, i would do holden conversion, cheaper parts, and u could get parts pretty much anywhere

thanks heaps for the reply. Does your paj drive ok with conversion? is it much higher than the torsion bar front end?? What size tyres are you running, and if its not too rude to ask, how much would a conversion like this cost?

seen heaps of topics on solid axle swaps on mitsubishis, but could someone out there please tell me if anyone does them in Melbourne? And how much would i be looking at? I found a guy who is willing to give it a crack, but he's unreliable. Any help would be muchly appreciated

hey guys, good luck if u go ahead with an ls1 conversion, ive converted mine to a com v6/auto, and blown a transfer case and rear diff! second transfer case is from a v6 mits, and thats on its way too! dont know how your conversion is going to hold up! there are a number of people who do kits and ...

if i was to do any mods, i'd turbo a standed motor rather than one with 10.1 comp, that thing would throw the cyl head through the bonnet b4 u know it. ud b suprised on how much it can handle, fair enough a well built motor will make more power on less boost, if built right, but IF something lets go ...

hey mate, changing over to an aftermarket, will you be required to change injectors n fuel pump? wouldnt it be pointless for an aftermarket ecu pumping out the same fuel through a factory injector? Straight gas it, turbo's love it! by the time u waste ur money on fuel pumps/regs/injectors n throttle ...

hey guys, its been a while since ive posted my fuel consumption issues, so i thought i'd try and prove myself wrong. I drained my fuel tank completly and filled the tank to the brim and it took 66 litres, i drove 213km's and used just over 19ltrs of fuel, still runnung my 33' tyres and 4.62 diff ...

hey there, i done a conversion to my '89' triton a few months ago, but mines backed with a 4L60E 4 speed auto, conversion is pretty much straight forward, but you will need patience to make it easier. Old engine mounts would have to be cut off chassis, and weld new ones more forward, Marks 4wd ...

with my original set up worn out 2.6cyl/5 speed manual, if i had put 33's alll terrains on that, i would agree that i'd be using more fuel to turn the tyre, now with the v6 conversion, my torque is almost triple than standard so therefore turning the 33' tyres is like my 2.6cyl turning a 28' tyre ...

thats sucks, not saying these tritons are the bes vehicles evar made, but if u like, you could buy one of our cars????

hey guys, i understand to turn a bigger tyre requires more throttle to keep the momentum but please understand a commodore/buick engine is more economical at 1800-2000rpm. If a commodore with a 3.08 diff ratio is sitting on 2400-2500rpm it will be travelling at roughly 100-115kmh, now with my 31's i ...

mate, pics look nuts, love to find a place down here in melb with mud like that, i'll stay out all day! thats it, gunna try find a place like that soon, see if any of my sensors are water tight

hey guys, i am new to 4x4ing so hopefully someone could help with my question. Today in an argument at work, i was told that the handbrake is located behind the gearbox, so we jacked one side of the diff and we couldnt turn the tyre in the air, when then jacked the other side and the same thing ...

thanks heaps for the replies guys, not going to bother with these all terrains, goin to keep them for road use, i'll let u guys know how i go with muddies. any advice on some good mud tyres at a reasonable price?

tyres pressures were the same as road use, i might have got a little more traction if they were deflated a little bit, but 2 weeks earlier i had 31" maxxis bighorns on with the same tyre pressure and i took the same tracks i did with the 33's with ease. Im no 4x4 expert, as i just got into the scene ...

hey guys, heres a few pics of our 4x4 adventure with my new 33" all terrains. There werent as good as expected, they became slicks soon as they touched mud http://i1194.photobucket.com/albums/aa379/v6triton/4x4/IMG_9271.jpg http://i1194.photobucket.com/albums/aa379/v6triton/4x4/IMG_9289.jpg http ...

going to put leafs on top of diff, and et longer shocks to suit, goin to stay away from extended shakles, in a way there great, but im more worried bout on road driveability

hey guys, gettin back to the drop shackles discussion, heres what it looks like with standard rear suspension[], think its time to start the rear suspension mods

hey guys, i enquired about extended shackles as well, i was told that they are illegal for several reasons, but the main one that caught my eye was braking! when a vehicle is modified with extended shackles and u brake hard, all the weight is transfered to the front, which leaves the rear to flex ...

Would anyone have or know anyone who would be selling a steel winch bar to suit a 98 Mits Triton? Im located in victoria, im not fussed about faded paint or scratches

thanks for the replies guys, wipers work, no weird noises coming from wiper motor either, is there any chance of buying a brand new wiper stalk? im thinking, if im going to remove it to clean, i might as well replace it and let it last another 20yrs. I'll ring around tomorrow, see if this is a ...

Hey guys, got a 89 mits 4x4 triton, and washers squirters decided to stop working. They were working on and off the other day, but 2day they musta decided to call it quits. i put a new motor on the washer bottle but still no power. Do these things run fuses? if so, where are they located? Some one ...

forgot to mention, when i got my wheel alignment i got the guys to put schims in so it pushes the wheels closer to the front of the bullbar, they told me if i wanted i could get a longer bolt cause it ran out of theads from schims, and doing so i could get 2-3mm more forward. doesnt seem like much ...
