Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey mate, im pretty sure lockers are allowed in modified class. Just not rear steer or diggs. Kirby will correct me if im wrong however. Will see you there, once i get my rig running properly.

Hi Guys, have read all the info via search and have a question. I currently have a 75 FJ40 and have put the steering column, shaft and power steer box that bolts to the original manual steering box location out of a BJ40 in it to gain its power steer. The question I have is that I want to now put in ...

Hey guys, have tried searching but got a bit confused. I basically want to know if i can remove the body off my 75 fj40 due to a bit of cancer and replace with a fj45 ute tub. ie make single cab with small tray now. Looking i may have to stretch wheelbase but do body mounts line up.

Thanks

Thanks for that.

cheers

G'day everyone. i recently did the disk brake install on the front of my 40. The discs and swivel hubs etc all came off a 60 series. The front diff now appears to be approx 1 - 2" wider each side then the rear diff, ie different track between front and rear now. My question therefore is, can i just ...

Ok i just got my axles the correct length etc, but now when i went to put them in the axles doesn't fit into the housing. by looking at it, there appears to be a brass bush in the end of the axle housing. Can i simply remove this and the axles should fit, or do i have to get a rubber seal in there ...

Thanks for that, that was the impression i got. Nothing is ever meant to be easy. So anyway, if i simply went and got the 30 spline spider gears and a complete axle assembly off a disc 40 from say a 76-78 model than it should be ok.

I am not happy, i have removed all the hubs and knuckles etc and have discovered that the previous owner has obviously replaced the axles and cv's etc with the older 10 spline claw style ones. :twisted: For this reason i do not know. My 40 is a 75 model so it should have had the birfield style ...

so after reading this, is it correct to say that my 10 spline cv and axles etc from the original drum brake setup will fit inside the 60 swivel hub and stub axle etc right out to my free wheeling hubs from the original hub (drum setup).

Cheers

Dont worry about the hijack, i am all ears to mods in this department.

I havn't got my knuckles off yet, so am yet to find out in regards to a 60 s cv. I presume, that if it doesn't i could get away with just using my 40 s cv's in the 60 s swivel until i mod up a 60 version. Thoughts on this

cheers

Thanks guys, i have started removing the old swivel hubs etc, so we'll c how it goes. If i have any questions I am sure i will ask.

Cheers

G'day everyone. I have done a bit of a search on here and couldn't quite understand a few bits, basically I want to know if the 60 series disk setup which i just got will bolt direct to my 75 fj40. With my 60 series stuff i have the entire swivel hubs, but do i need to use that or can i just get ...

ditto again for the 75 year make

In my 85 rangie, with a 4.6L engine I have extractors, 2 3/4" exhaust all the way through and a turbo muffler with no hotdog. It gives a nice note and not to load at highway cruising revs etc. My 2c anyway

Cheers

I just painted my Fj 40 with polyurethane 2 pac, was the easiest thing i ever did and 4L was less then 200 bucks from my local industrial paint supplier. :lol: I had very limited painting experience before then and basically took my time, preparation is the key to a good job i reckon. It was done ...

I am keen to do the conversion just $ holding back, basically I did a bit of a search on here and I believe this conversion is relatively easy. Basically, i want to know is it a direct swap, and or what has to be modified ie the kick down cables as mentioned earlier. I am particularly interested in ...

I had the bands adjusted a couple of months ago, and they did say that they were on the last adjustment and then a replacment would be needed, thought i would get a bit more life out of it though It does require a fair few revs now to get moving, a lot more than when i first got it anyway.

recently, i have noticed that especially when cold my torqueflight box requires more revs etc to to engage and thus get the vehicle moving. Is this a torque convertor problem or further avield? The vehicle in question is 1985 Rangie with 4.6L conversion. Also the other day i was towing a ...

Am also interested in this info after reading it, well 55 series springs seem the go for my 75 fj40 as well but by doing this what sort of drive shaft issues can i expect. i.e. is there a model cruiser etc that has a more appropriate shaft or is it a custom job to take up the difference (increased ...

Change of plans, BJ diff idea now not available, now 60 series diffs i hear are a common conversion, however, are the spring perches etc the same width as a 40 series diff, i now the overall diff in a 60s is wider How much though? And by going 60 series, will my steering linkages from steer box to ...

the diffs i am looking at are fully complete ie hub to hub, so they should work then?

Hey, I am wondering are BJ42 components ie diffs and steering etc compatible with a petrol 75 FJ40. i am looking at some parts etc to upgrade my 40 and would like to know if this is possible. and to fit these components, does any fab work apart from say pwr steering pump brackets have to be done ...

Here is my 1985 rangie Mods include: 4.6l engine conversion 3 speed g.box 2" Lovell's spring lift 1" spacer lift trimmed and rolled wheel arches snorkel 2 3/4" exhaust with extractors upgraded head lights front and rear ARB bars A decent stereo, and communication gear Full re-spray Only 31" tyres at ...

I have heard that standard 80 series landcruiser shocks will suit a rangie. Is this correct? I currently have a 2inch spring lift , and if 80 series shocks fit, will they cause the spring to dislocate or remain fixed. My shocks bilsteins at the moment are running out of travel, ie the spring still ...

G'day everyone, was just wondering what lbf/in pressure cap should be used on a 1985 Rangie with a heavy duty radiator. ie the cap on the expansion tank. mine is currently a 15 pound job, but my expansion tank has recently cracked along a seem, mostly due to age but got me to think that the pressure ...

Just a quick question, just installed lovells raised coils in the rangie and when measuring the ride height, all 4 wheel arches are the same height off the ground, is this best or should the rear be a little higher. The springs are standards height rears in front ie 2' lift there and then raised ...

Also if anyone knows, are the spring rates the same in the front and back on standard coils, or are the back ones even at standard form a slightly heavier duty spring?

Just a general question, is is suitable to put the coils in the rear of my Rangie into the front, thus raising front height, and then simply replacing the rear with raised height ones to suit. Would this considerably raise overall height and by how much, or am i best to by a complete set of coils at ...

that brings me to my next question - converting to a ZF, what mods if any need to be done, and what pro's and con's can I expect from such a conversion.

Just wondering if it is possible to run a thicker oil in my original 3 speed auto box out of an 85 rover with 4.6L conversion. I have had the bands wound up, apparently there is no more adjustment left, but i still feel that it is slipping, not the familiar with an auto as of yet. I thought that a ...
