Outer Limits 4x4 Board

do they just bolt in after what ever clearance need to be done or do they need to be redrilled and doweled

so the front will be all ok .with a cv tail shaft do u run the cv at the diff end or transfer end?whats a good cv to use strength wise and how do u balance them as this is still street driven.

thanks cplux yeah its a 89 dual cab with dual case's set up my own flexy suspension set up with snake track bar so sounds like it might hit the crossmember as it sits low .
might just start with one in the front and go from there .

thanks owen

hi does anyone know if a 80 series high pinion third member fits a hilux housing.want to convert high pinion front n rear for more tail shaft clearance. can get them from states with the oil slingers ,but was wanting a cheaper option.

thanks owen

yeah ill be building a chassis for it then drop the frame on top .

no not yet but it wont have the bike engine anymore its going to have a v8 with 5 speed and single transfer. on lux steer diffs .just need to finish my dual cab then will start on this.

gday stilivn i havent started the actual build yet just getting together all the ideas and info for it at the moment . i have been researching the suspension set up i want to put in it lately which will be very different to the norm.im going to make a cantilevered coilover with hydrolic rams fitted ...

here it is has almost all engine tyre gearbox ect common to 4x4s.

im quite confident that a bike engine will work fine on something like this .its mainly going to be driven in the sandy river at the back of my block so mostly going fast. there isnt alot of crawling around townsville ,but i have a hilux built for the slow stuff this will be more an allrounder. i ...

here is some info on the gear box

http://www.novak-adapt.com/knowledge/t90.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

should be strong enough as they used to get used for v8 conversions and a bike engine has no where near the torque of a v8.

red60 the bike engine and gear box wont be chain driven it will have the sproket removed from bike engine and replaced with a flange (last pick above) which will be joined to a shaft via a rubber flex-joint the same as a vy commodore drive shaft so shouldnt need a baring on input shaft to gear box ...

well after a week of searching the web for ideas i think i have a combo i will use . 1000cc bike engine coulped to a t90c borg warner 3 speed to a zuk transfer.short and light with hi,low range and reverse. http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll159/own81/t90_specs.gif http://i287.photobucket.com ...

yeah i have seen them all on youtube and there is a guy who put a copy harley engine in his i think its called ground howg he used a uni from a jeep to couple the engine to sierra gearbox with a custom clutch set up. i think the set up of the bike engine and transfer will determine size of wheels 33 ...

thanks flyinwall i have been trying to find builds like that .i never thought to do something like that but i am wondering how the gear ratio's would go as i was wanting to run 35's or 37's but i suppose i could run 33's as i could get reduction for transfer and ill be running 4.88 in diffs as i ...

a rotory would be good but than i need the gearbox transfer .overall to long for what i want but would be sweet.

yeah that was my only concern on how strong the parts would be .as with the honda engine whats the advantages of this over say a sr20det .

hi ,just trying to make up my mind on how to set up a buggy im going to start building soon. i found an old sandrail frame at the dump and an going to turn it into a 4x4 http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll159/own81/05102011703.jpg http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll159/own81/05102011704.jpg im ...

gday mate , i got a dual case lowprofile crossmember from lowrange about 4 years ago and it was only about 420 landed and bolts straight up .i have a vn v8 in my lux all i did was bolt up crossmember than did the engine mounts from there only need to redo the 2 mounts then not all 4.

cheers owen

I am going to fit my radiator behind the cab of my hilux and was wondering what pipes to use under the cab .was thinking either exhaust pipe and rubber bends or poly pipe. what would be better? im leaning towards the exhaust pipe cause of the heat factor as it will run about 200mm from the muffler ...

very nice looking buggy mate looking forward to seeing more picks .want to build one my self one days aswell.

what steering boxes are being used with hydro assist steups on hilux's. im going to be doing this soon . i know aprox where to tap the holes in the box but just want some more info .im also running a holden pump and have a cooler on the was as well as it cooked the other week. .if anyone can pm me ...
