Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Stock tank is pretty small. Dunno how big it is but can't be more than 70 litres. Fuel consumption is... in a word... scary. Best i've ever done out of a tank is 400Km. Most of the time, i get about 350Km. Don't know how much it would be when towing but i can't imagine it being crash hot. Also, the ...

I've seen one before in a Hilux out where i live. Don't know anything about it except it had one.

Last time i had this problem, it turned out my drivers side CV was broken. Don't wanna put you off but you might want to check them and see how they are.

Not meaning to sound like a smart ass but have you pressed the button on the side of the transfer case shifter?

For those who have built their own center console, can you kindly post a couple of pics of what it looks like so i can show him what he could do.

My GF cousin bought a Range Rover bout 2 months and since then the center console had start to move around a bit but just after coming back from a trip to Adelaide, all the center console area has become shocking. It all moves about heaps and is worried it'll fall apart. Is this a common problem ...

If that's the case then i'll always pay $20 more for anything like that just to keep all the dodgy shops off the street.

Are exo rollcages road legal in N.S.W. and are internal roll cages a requirement for winch challanges?

Just like to know what does DOT stand for anyway?

I read this about the BFG Muds on a 4x4 website

www.skips4x4.com.au (lots and lots of good 4WD photos)

He fitted them to his Hilux and he got 70000km's out of them, new tread pattern ones, with only one puncture, 20% tread left.

They can't be that bad if he got that much out of them.

Get the BFGs or the STTs or maybe even some Maxxis Mud terrains (cheaper & same pattern as BFGs) for what you want to do with the disco they should be fine. The Maxxis Mud Terrains don't have the same tread pattern but it does has a similar apperance. I remeber reading in 4WD Monthly about how they ...

I'll give ya $10 for it!

Money, time and paitence ain't a problem and i'm prepared to go as far as possible to make it kick ass! I've already planned ahead so it doesn't end up like what my brother did. Buy a car and realise that had heaps of mega problems. And i said mabey for a future project as well. But i don't care how ...

Now i'm looking for a serious response

I've seen alot of hell mad 40 series trucks bout the place and i can't ignore it anymore. I want to buy a 40 series and do it up heaps cool. Either as my first truck or a future project. Just like to know 2 things.

Are they good to work on and are they good trucks to learn on mechainical wise?

I would like some conformation on this. Are 35's the max you can legally run without engineers certificates, in N.S.W.

im not too sure, i know simex JT2's are illegal, some simex are not bias ply, like my simex super trekkers. but micky thompson claws are legal (radial claws i mean). Under the ADR's it is illegal to fit a bias ply tyre to a vehicle not originally offered with them by the manufacturer. So ALL BIAS ...

I've seen the new Patrol and i think it's pretty cool. What do you think
of it?

Hey, hows ur new job going?

Ok. Budget isn't really a problem and a serria just isn't practical for me. Hilux seems the way to go.

Would an old hilux make a better project vheicle to muck around with? I want my first 4WD to be mainly a toy that i can muck around with yet it has to be cheap and easy to modify.

Sorry, in Sydney

I see now. Thanks alot!

I'm currently putting together different plans for my first 4WD and one of the ideas i though up was that i could buy a toyota hilux surf or 4runner, like a 1995 model or something WITH IFS. There should be lots of them that haven't gone offroad at all thus in good condition. What i wanna do is get ...

Don't pay me out about this question but what is axle wrap and how do those axle wrap bars work? Don't quite understand.

You should try to get it on foxtel or something. A whole channel dedicated to 4WDing. How cool would that be?

Can someone make a list of all of them round sydney or near sydney (e.g. south coast) for me ranging from easy to hard please?

So how do you go about getting different diff gear ratios anyway if there's no aftermarket stuff for them?

Cheap pirce + made in China + a compresser = A peice of shit (oh no, bad experience thought returning)

I'd love to get behind 4x4 TV for getting it to NSW. I'd love to work with you if it came to NSW (don't think you have a job for a 17 year old though). Mabey i should make a donation with the little money i have (think like 50 bucks).

Oh well, good luck anyway
