Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I have just finished modelling my buggy in sketchup which has been great, being able to move tubes and axles and motors and such by just clicking is great. Now i have just pulled some dimensions off of my design and plugged them into the 4 Link Calculator. Now i have been reading the Link Suspension ...

jackson.baker Thanks but im going to keep it as a 2wd as it will only see towing duties into 4wd parks and races.

Hi, Im just starting to look at modifying a light weight Dyna 200 Truck. It is a 94 model and it can be driven on a car licence. I have been given the truck for free to use as its the family business's old truck and now only get used to move a little excavator from time to time. The plain is to put ...

What sort of overall width would be best for an all rounder buggy. My main use for the buggy will be social wheeling but would like to be able to run events like Aust4 or tough tracks. The more i think about it im leaning towards keeping it at Patrol/Landcruiser width at a max as there the most ...

How strong are the 9 Inch rears in these things with the 31 spline axles?

I think you will find that the locating pin is in a different position to the older IFS springs

Join Pirate and ask in the landcruiser section or ih8mud.com would be your best chance

I will be running at 67" wms for the front and hopefully a little less in the back. At least with 67" wms on a D60 front you can still use all production parts so spares are easy to get you just use ford and Chevy axles. I think this is the best compromise between width and availability over here.

That was how i was thinking, cut put a sleeve in and then grind a big bevel on both ends of the tube and weld it up. The run a truss across the top from c to c.

Thanks MogLux, I was just reading through your build again as your build is going to be very similar to mine. What did you use as a sleeve?

Evan, I might just do that by the time i buy an Lt230 and then adapt it to the transmission and put a rebuild kit into it plus the cost of converting the diffs i would be getting close to the price of a used atlas, plus with an atlas i get front and rear disconnect and better ratio selection.

This is trying to be a budget build, But the budget is looking less and less possible. If i ran a 205 i would probably put a doubler in front of it something like a 203/205 setup but that adds extra length that im not keen on. Im looking towards the end of the year before i will be ready to start ...

What are the options for Passenger drop transfers, all i know is a np205. Would it be possible to flip an LT230. I know someone on here was talking about it a while ago but i dont know if they ever did it.

my concern is as far as i know all chevy drops are Low pinion and the one i have is a Hi Pinion and im not real keen on running a low pinion up front.

I already have the Engine Auto and Transfer, i was originally going to use a different set of diffs before these popped up.

I just picked up a set of Dana 60's out of an f truck and would like to run them in the buggy im building, But the i will need a drivers side drop front, How hard is it to covert over to a drivers drop? or who in Brisbane would be able to do it? I have tried searching on Pirate for it but most just ...

are you talking about this one? http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/viewtopic ... 2&t=224194" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Is there anyone in aus that can shorten and re spline a set of dana 60 shafts?

It also works for class 8 in the AORC I think they need to follow that, make it look like a full bodied rig but not have to worry about a 30 yr old chassis holding up in a bad rollover

Thanks twisty, thanks for the feed back, i wish i could get Kings for the new Colorado but the only company that make them currently are Armada Extreme, But im thinking i might get in touch with Down South Motorsport and see if king can make some to Fit.

Im looking at getting a set of profender shocks for my current daily, Im just wondering if there is any change in the way the vibrations are transmitted or if it is no different? Also if anyone knows if in QLD it is illegal to run them on the road or is it not a problem

Thanks for the PMs and the tips on here. I have a few leads im gonna follow up im just hoping the AUD picks back up agains the USD its dropping and making things more expensive.

Thought i would up date this, i Went out and had a look at the D300 over the weekend and decieded not to go with it, It looked in real bad shape and it has been sitting without oil in a shed that has had water through it a few times. so i have decieded to either get the lt230 or if i can budget it a ...

The hydro hand brakes are $60 not worth fucking around making one!

For $60 you could get two of these and mount them side by side for cutting brakes, A lot cheaper then cnc cutting brake setup.

Would love some more info on making a t700 to lt230 adaptor

I know of a dana300 that i can get at the same price or cheaper than i can find an lt230, the person with it does not know what it is and its sitting in a shed at the moment.

Never had anything to do with the Dana 300 but the LT is good, however a rear disconnect isnt that easy.. be an extra $1200 odd for that . why do you want to upgrade the internal shaft in an LT ?? never heard of them braking but doesnt mean they dont.. mine has coped a bit over the past few months ...

Fair enough. I don't know what you think freight is but compared to what they sell for here I thought some on pirate Are going more than $700 less than new I know that but most of the deals that come up on pirate are for US drivers drop and i would need a US passanger drop, i dont know if it is ...

id go the LT purely the fact they are redly available here. there are heaps of options you can do with the LT later on down the track. upgrades, gears and planetary sets. have you thought about 2nd hand Atlas transfers? they pop up from time to time on pirate and freight is reasonably cheap now I ...
