Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hey i have a courier 2wd dual cab and was wondering about compatability with the 4wd variant.
Does anyone know if 4wd leaves will bolt up?
Are 4wd torsion bars interchangable?

Reason I ask is that i dont need a 4wd but bog stock it looks too much like a mini truck...

Exactly what I was hoping to see - thanks for that.

Has anyone made their own front bash guard for a current model Hilux?
We have 4 cars at work that need them replaced and I am thinking we might just be able to get some sheet folded and make them ourselves.
Hoping someone might have a pic for a bit of inspiration??
Thanks

Yes!

I got a bar from 2Dextreme a few years back and the bar itself was a torsion bar from a pathfinder (according to the part # painted on it). Not sure if 2dextreme are still around or if they sell the same bars to suit patrols, but if they do id suggest you buy some sealed bearing pillow blocks and ...

ahh right just saw you are in VIC - have you checked out VicRoads "Vehicle Standards Information - 28" ?
It details Vic regs for cage design/installation - might be handy for you

My thought on the swap is "dont do it!".
Hang on to the warn and get some rope from the USA

I lived on the nsw/vic border and was tossing up what state to get my gq regoed/engineered in. My Eng told me my ccda cage would pass in vic but not nsw.. think it has something to do with whether it is bolted in or welded??

Hi has anyone bought one of these and found it had an intermittant fault?

Apparently the jobbies from the first batch have a prob where the volume level reduces (by more than half), and you need to turn it off and back on again for the volume to go back up.

Has anyone experienced this??

thanks

thanks fellas.
Am getting one for work that is due for OCT delivery, so hopefully it will actually be delivered by FEB

Good to see airbags & a cup holder.
I am hoping it doesn't have door and seatbelt beepers similar to the hilux though...

has anyone seen a pic of the new LC70 dash? Got a link?

while i am at it anyone know if an ARB LC70 (Airbag Compatible) winchbar is out yet and if it is different looking to non-airbag bar? Got pics?

thanks

check ya pm

the benift of my efi 5L over my old carbi TB42 is faaaaarrrkin huge!!! glad i have done it. Way cheaper than an LS engine too


holden v.s ford
nissan v.s toyota
pepsi v.s coke
5L v.s LS engine

easy faaarkups were easy fixed :armsup: Needed to earth the wire that used to go to the inhibitor switch - this is why it wouldnt crank. Also I had faaarked up the leads re firing order - this is why it wouldnt run :lol: And I had blocked off the port on the throttle body that used to go to the ...

I was hoping some other people might chime in. same here Can you also check the resistance (ohms, Ω on your multimeter) between your battery negative terminal and: - the chassis/body - the engine - the starter motor body There should be almost zero resistance on all these showing on the multimeter. ...

Thanks for your help chimpboy Yes i have a multimeter but I admit I dont use it for anything other than voltage readings. All main battery leads are 70mm welding cable so I am hoping that it is just a dodgy connection as you say. I have booked the auto elec for thurs am if I cant get it sorted by ...

Hi I have a question for the autoelec guru's. (I live in the middle of nowhere so getting a sparky out to have a look is plan B $$$$$$$$$) will try and put as much info as possible - sorry if it is too much - just ask if you need to know more though! Background car is a stripped down GQ ute with a ...

Use GU slave. PBR part number JB4198. Should be less than $45. Unbolt and bolt on. Bleed. Quicker. The bloke at repco says JB4198 is the part # for the GQ slaves :? ??? Apparently PBR dont have any of the GU ones left and not sure when they will have more anyway. The bloke at nissan says there are ...

wanted a cab so bought a complete ute with blown headgasket for $2400.
sold what I didnt need and made $$$ + free cab

umm but if you go coilover the word is that a swaybar is a must so extra $$ there

If funds allow go coilovers because they are infinately adjustable in ride height spring rate & dampening. If you are gonna spend a weekend cutting & welding you might as well take the coilover option because there would be stuff all extra work in it. Nothing wrong with the std option though. weld ...

I need an exhaust system for my 5.0 into Gq ute conversion. Seem to be plenty of stock late model v8 commodore exhaust systems on ebay, so thinking about going the tightarse option and butchering one up to suit my application. 2x cats, 2x mufflers + a heap of stainless tube & bends for <$250 sounds ...

Good info Gotta love part #'s

Thanks to all

Has anyone used the Exedy Commodore sports tuff clutch (part # GMK-6334HD) in their conversion? I know marks say "just use std clutch" but I seem to recall that you could get away with a heavy duty clutch if you use a GU slave cylinder??? If anyone can shed light on this it would be massively ...

Can anyone recommend a good budget clutch & flywheel + supplier who is happy to frieght? http://search.stores.ebay.com.au/NORTHERN-BRAKE-AND-CLUTCH_patrol_W0QQfcdZ2QQfciZQ2d1QQfclZ4QQfromZR10QQfsnZNORTHERNQ20BRAKEQ20ANDQ20CLUTCHQQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1QQsaselZ723454310QQsofpZ0 they seem $150 cheaper than ...

yes too easy. new tabs for the headlights & need to weld a tab on the rad support panel for the front guard too.

sandy rut, if you use the marks adapter kit suposidly the power steering pump will hit the body if you have a body lift. yeah I have removed heaps of inner guard to fit coilovers and shit. Im expecting the conversion to be an nightmare but pump/ body clearence shouldnt be a hassle - check the pic ...

Which header are you asking about? If its the bottom one thats one of the headers ive made myself and it for a custom dual setup one down each side of the chassis... Ah righto, yeah I took it that the bottom ones were the "hsv ones" Kegz asked you about, with the top one just being a stocker ...

There the ones everyboby uses for the GQ (top header in the pic is the p/side i dont have a pic of the other side but can get if you want) They bolt straight up, then you just get a exhaust shop to make the rest of the system... easy as that ;) Is there a bung for the o2 sensor in those? Do you ...
