Outer Limits 4x4 Board

My control panel has seized on the drivers side door. Tried to fix it., put it back on and now nothing works including central locking.
Think I have bown a fuse but can't find it.
Help please

Nope. It just went out and is working again.

Thanks for the reply scott. Think you summed it up well, probably not going to work they way I initially thought without thinking about it, My option I am now considering is: Engel 75 combi at camp site run off large deep cycle batery and 80 watt sollar panel and my waeco 60 litre in car as it alway...

Okie. cheers
Landcruiser 80 series.
not sure on battery monitor system,
second battery is a deep cycle 75 amp hour
80 litre engle on fridge mode
18 litre on freezer,
Don't know how much driving I would be doing, thats one of a few things I'm trying to work out,

Want to run a Engel 80 litre as a fridge and a waeco 18litre as a freezer. I have a dual battery system. Don't think it will be up to the job, but not sure How much driving would i need to keep the batteries charged. How fast does an alternator charge your battery. Any ideas and info appreciated. th...

can't see where i have said that. but there was never a problem with front shaft off.

hmmm. will have to read back through that. it was years ago. But no. no problem when front shaft was taken off.

front shaft only and at transfer case end. The angle from the front diff is usually close to zero after installing a lift that warrents the d/c So the joint at that end runs at constant speed. It's at the transfer case end you have the large angle and the changing rotational speeds. hence D/C requir...

Yep. perfect and has been for years now. Oh and I meant double cardan, not cardon The D/C , double cardan is a constant velocity joint. a normal uni joint speeds up and slows down during every revolution. (unless it is running no angle at all) If the angle the shaft makes at the diff and the angle a...

a double cardon on your front drive shaft will fix all your problems

a double cardon on your front drive shaft will fix all your problems

heading to Fraser saturday and the dam sub tank aint working

The fuel tank light is on on the dash and the pump wont go

80 series petrol, 95

Is it safe to grind a jamed bolt off which is right beside my fuel tank?

How the hell do i get the broken one off and a new one on.
Tried for 15mins last night and not even close.

cheers for that but I am wanting to know if it will work on a seriouse off road truck...

I'm sure there is something on this but for some reason search is not working.
Just want to know basics... Is it good offroad...Does it reduce articulation and what sort of lift can you get. Also approx price.
If someone could give a simple answer that would be good or show us a link.
Cheers steve.

I am keen as Have a 80 series f&R air lockers 6 inch lift and custom tube bars front and rear. ONLY PROBLEM TYRES 35's but there coopers ST's. Very capable rig until stuff gets realy slosshy. What do you guys reckon. They are almost brand new with plenty of tread, or is it a case of mud tyres ne...

Is anyone running the 80 watt HID's.
I have heard that there is almost a zero failure rate with the 50 watt kits but there have been a few break in the 80 watt kits.

Can't decide between 80 and 50 watts.
Higher would be better but I want them to last.

so what is the chance of getting it off while on the vehicle.

You talk about making it easy by rotating the compressor.
Did you have to dump the gas to do this.

no not yet. Might try that now.

Auto air con guy reckons that the hosing or the shaft where the bearing sits normally flogs out and that you usually have to replace the whole compressor.
What do other people think about that.

Thanks heaps for that. the front pully/clutch is still on. Last atempt was on the weekend. I got the nut off and expected the pully/clutch to come off realy easy. It didn't although I didn't try that hard as I though something else must be holding it on. Will have another attempt this weekend. Mine ...

on the tensioner pully the circlip only holds the bearing into the pully.
(not the pully onto the shaft)
I can't even get the pully off.
Can anyone verify that there is a circlip holding the pully on.
I cant see shit down there. Its so close to the fan and radiator.

Pretty sure it is just the one behind the clutch.
How do I get to this.
I took the bolt out of the centre of the pully and it still did not seem to want to come off.???

My air con compressor is making a noise.
The bearings are shot.
What is involved in replacing these

I got an awesome one made by Dave from 2dextreme off here.
Can post up some photos on the weekend.

I have an 80 series and am geting a tube bar made. Only problem is that the cylinder can like looking thing that has two pipes going to it and a sight glass on top is in the way. (it's something to do with the air-con) How hard is it to move this and can it be mounted on it's side or does it have to...

What size tube do most people use for their bars.

How old is the vehicle. If it is relatively new has no chips or paint missing then I believe that no treatment is the best and just a good wash after you finish. An untreated vehicle is much easier to keep clean. My 80 series hits the beach every few weeks in sumer and fraser about 5 times a year. I...
