Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Manual hubs

Ok heres my problem. I have a GQ shorty and everytime I put it in 4wd and put load on it the front right hub makes a very loud bang then the wheel stops turning but you can still here the diff driving. The hub will then clunk and start driving again. I have replaced the hubs etc and it just keeps ...

Would not having enought slip joint movement do it?.
Because to me it seems that the tail shaft needs to be shortened.
Still working through the options at this stage.
We are looking a some 75 series diffs with air lockers in them, they might be the go I think.

Yeah, I have them in my GQ shorty.
So far I have found them good.
I would rate them over tough dogs.
Thats about all I have had a chance to compare them to.

It has got all of the same size/brand tyres on it.
I have spoken to a few people also who have recommended the later model diff with either a LSD or put a locker in there.
That looks like the next thing to try.

Thanks for all your help guys, you have been a BIG help.

We have been just boltiing in new centres. The first one was the original one that was in the vehicle when he bought it. The second one was a spare I had laying around out of a BJ70. And the one we blew one the weekend is out of the front of a HJ60. I dont know a lot about the internals of diffs ...

Sorry guys should have been a bit clearer. It is the rear diff the keeps blowing. Keeps destroying the spider gears. Two have blown on the main road and the other was yesterday up the bush. The diffs are open, no lockers etc. He doesn't do burn outs or anything like that. We put the diff in on ...

Ok, my mate has just bought a new 4wd. It's a fj45 tray with a 350 chev, 5 speed 35's etc. He has the vehicle for a few weeks and has now blown 3 diffs. He drives it reasonable hard, but nothing more than normal. I am starting to think he may have a bent diff housing. Can anyone offer any solution ...

I have seen a bloke running a divorced 720 transfer with a TH400 and a fully worked 454 BB.
He said he had tried a few different transfers and nothing holds up better than the 720.
That was in a off road racer.

Thanks,
We will be tackling this tonight.

The BJ70 has got the Landcruiser diffs.
It was the petrol model Bunderas that had the hilux diffs.
Mine is not a Bundera.

I have a mate who has just blown the diff in his 45 series cruiser.
I have s spare diff out of a BJ70 sitting here.
Will the centre out of the 70 series fit in the 45 series?.
Are the axles the same?.
Or would it be easier to put the whole diff in?.

I am looking for a price on a set of BFG Krawlers in either a 35" or 37".
Does anyone have a rough idea of what there worth?.
Where in Victoria is the best place to get them?.
I know there are expensive, I just dont know exactly how expensive.

Hope you can help me out.

I used to work at a tyre service and do repairs in side walls all the time. the biggest I ever done in a 4x4 tyre was about 3 1/2 inchs long. one your size is nothing. you would be better to get it fixed and run it out on the back just to get rid of it. something that small you shouldn't have any ...

I work at Marks 4wd Adaptors. We are discussing the conversion at the moment. I want to keep the automatic, but we have to get a motor and transmission and see what we can make up. Advance Adapters dont have any products to suit the Nissan transfer case. I may need to just use my 5 speed manual. But ...

I am currently going through the process of converting my SWB Maverick to an XR6 Turbo engine and 6 speed automatic transmission. Has anyone done this conversion yet or am I the first?. I was going to Turbo my 4.2 petrol engine, but I thought about by the time I set a decent turbo up and built my ...

Marks 4wd Adaptors have made portal axles for Nissan patrols and they are all road legal.
4" of extra ground clearance and 40% stronger.

where is the best place in vic to get the Edelbrocks?.
Just want some prices.

I am starting to think that I might give the EFS Extreme's a go.
I might wait until I hear how they are.
Another brand I seen when I was up at tuff trucks in '06' was
Edelbrock shockers.
They looked all right.
Does any one have any information on them?.

I am just looking at all my options.

I thought about going with Koni's but I read somewhere that they dont make them to suit big lifts.
Is this true?.

I was out having a play on the weekend and snapped one of my shockers in half. I have a set of fox racing shocks in at the moment, just the oil shocks not expensive ones. My 4x4 is a Ford Maverick with 5" lift and is a winch challenge car. I was going to run a set of Tough Dogs, but I am starting to ...
