Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Mine came from a truck wrecker. I was going to cut up some truck mudflaps to suit but found these being used as truck mudflaps :D
Cost me $10 and had enough to do all four wheels. Although I've never attached the front ones as I have to make up some brackets to suit.

You could always ask around an ...

Thanks. I tried that today and it worked!

Very happy to have a clock in the car now.

While we are at it, anyone know what the big plastic hole filler above the radio is for?
I always thought that was where the clock went in other markets/models.

The gxl has a clock - its a function on the radio which is the same throughout the toyot range.
.

Do you have to activate it somehow?

We have a 2010 GXL wagon for work and it does not have a clock in the radio but our 2010 Hilux SR with the same radio does have the clock.

It is very annoying ...

Be sure to keep us informed. Will be very interesting to hear what the fuel economy is like.
I would prefer the revs were a little lower but I'm very interested to hear the results.

Whatever happens you certainly won't have any trouble on the hills!

Don't forget that a standard Defender has 32in tyres and Disco 29in so take that into account too when comparing to the MR Defender.

Hi Ron,
Mine is a manual 3.9 v8 but I find it is also much better on the hills if I keep the revs at an indicated 2250 to 2500 which is an indicated 105 to 115km/h. Probably closer to an actual 100 to 110km/h. So it will be interesting to see what affect it has overall. No doubt your towing will ...

Can you get another tray?

I had a 97 Rodeo dual cab. It came with a cover but I put on a canopy. I used to catch my belt loops on the round plastic riveted on things.
So I bought another tray. $80 for a white tray complete with lights etc that had been sitting in a shed since new. Just had a turbo ...

When I did my body lift I used a dremel type tool on those bolts.
However I didn't grind away the hole head. I just cut down through the weld on either side of the bolt head. It was a bit painful to do the weld you can't see but it wasn't too bad. Although I remember swearing at it a bit.

That is fair enough if you are going to change the ECU etc.

I know of PhilipA's project. I did the same thing as soon as he posted up that he did it. Works well. Gets rid of the rich running for good.

Then again if it won't be your daily driver then why spend a lot of dough and time on saving a ...

For the same cost you could fit two oxygen sensors into your exhaust and wire them into the ECU and let the computer worry about your mixture settings.

If it is the fuel pump and it is the in tank one then try just replacing the actual pump within the housing. Should only cost about $100 that way.

I've got a Warn M8000 winch from about 1993 on my car. I know the brake is different to the one in the manual you can download. Warn told me the brakes were interchangable so long as you change some other parts too.

I didn't have any trouble pull mine out though. I've got pics at home but on my ...

Careful with the razor blade. I did one of my windows with a razor blade (and a hair dryer, ammonia) and it left scratches on it.

For the others (not finished all of them yet) I used a plastic scraper, hair dryer, ammonia and one of those green scourers and it worked very well with no scratches.

Yep 0-90 is what I meant to say.

I was going to buy one from here.

You can buy analogue gauges to suit LPG tanks. Pull the valve cover off you LPG tank and see what ohm range it is. 0-60 ohms is most common. You can change this part over to suit your factory fuel gauge too.

Have you got the manual?
http://www.tacomaterritory.com/~ccorley/Manuals,%20articles/Service_Manual_Work_Sheet_XD9.pdf

I used this to service mine. Although I got the exact same pdf emailed to me from Warn so the instructions are genuine.
It doesn't mention putting any lube in with the brake.
My ...

Hi,

A mate of mine has an NP Pajero diesel and is having starting problems which coincide with the fuel filter light coming on on the dashboard.

Does this light mean to change the filter or is there a water drain valve somewhere in the fuel system?

Thanks

Forget Repco.

Call Karcraft or any number of other Land Rover parts places. Postage is cheap.

I know but if you bought a full set of Rhinos then they would all match. They would also be better and cheaper than REPCO cheapies.

Keep an eye on ebay and you'll pick up a set of Rhino bars to suit for less than one new one of any brand.

We had two in our family business. A 2004 and a 2005 I think. I might have posted about the problems on here before but I can't really remember them anymore.

They were the two most unreliable vehicles we have ever had. I always get shouted down when I say it but that was our experience. Buckets of ...

I'll also say Rangie Classic or Disco1. The parts are only a pain in the bum if it breaks and you need them right away. Otherwise order parts from England and they are cheap as dirt. Some Aussie sellers have reasonable prices and can post you anything you want next day.

For $9k you would have your ...

Pull out one of each and take it to your local bolt place.

Make sure you replace the tappet cover bolts. I hate those fricken 12 point headed factory ones!

so if ya need disco bits watch flea bay

That is pretty much the case with any Disco1 unfortunately.

When the coolant in Dad's ute went brown it was due to a blown headgasket. It had snapped a head bolt in half!

There is a hole in the centre of the mount. I have used 50x10 flat bar across the coil with a 12mm single bolt through the centre, no welding. Little bit fiddly to get to the nut under the mount though. Tried 5mm, folded it in half and coil popped out anyway!!

This is how the springs are retained ...

I've had LPG fitted to my Disco1 3.9 V8 for about 2 years now.
Works well. Not as powerful on LPG as petrol as is expected with the old type of system.

Only ever backfired when it was telling me I needed new spark plugs. The gap had grown a fair bit when I checked and replaced them.
The backfires ...

Jaycar have an electronic speedo corrector for about $60 in kit form. Worked well on my old Rodeo. I had a switch to go from standard to the corrected setting.

Pay $5k for a Land Cruiser of the same year and see how good it will be :lol: :lol: :lol:

Mine has broken off before too. It was jammed full of stuff and I slammed it shut one too many times.

It is a pita to fix as you have to do it all by feel.
I poked my camera in there and took a photo to get ...
