Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Jeebus! I'm only a third yr boilermaker/welder so I don't have the experience on my side such as struth or awill, but fark I'd be downright embarrassed and ashamed if I ever were to let a product leave my workbay in that condition. Unfortunately it is a true indication of that fact; price, quality ...

Cost me nothing. H/d pipe was an off cut in the scrap bin. Piece of plate was a spare from another project, cut a few extra plates by mistake. 50mm solid was from a spare length (about 1500mm) that was used as a temporary brace on a big frame we made. And I found the nut and bolt in a pile of ...

Not trailer related this time but the title is "Stuff" I'm Making. Figured there hasn't been an update in a while so I better make some stuff. And I know how much you guys luurve a lil bootay fab, so here are my efforts. Not before Christmas, but definitely in the near future, I'm going to be making ...

Had the coil on my old mans 105 series snap as well. Couldn't figure out why the front was clicking when we turned and here was the problem. The piston/bore was still straight as a die and the rest of it looked fine, which steered us away from thinking that we may have hit something under the front ...

Any idea what it weighs laden/unladen? Looks bloody heavy!! But I guess that's what you pay for solid and well built. Not sure how other states work, but with me being in NSW a state that knows how to charge for registration, I would have put a deck on it, some guards and lights and gone and ...

Going to have to jump forwards quite a bit for the next set of pics as only finished product pics were taken. Next on the agenda after the roof rack was a spare tire mount. Had to be beef enough to hold a full size spare and not fall to pieces when travelling over corrugations. Remember the sheet ...

In the above pics it shows that we also chopped the original roof rack. Figured I could make something a bit stronger and slightly less dodgy looking (slightly). 25x25x2.5 RHS and some more 20mm solid bar for tie down rails and this is what I wound up with. http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad234 ...

I hope you had this up and running when you went for that job.. like I said, it gives you a one up on every other guy.. no one does this stuff... as soon as you get up with the semi trailers, making and stuff, move on.. next field.. gives you more experience.. More on this point later. I promised ...

Cheers guys! Looks excellent!! Do you make rear bars for GQs? :D Well I've got a front bar, side steps and side rails to do for my old boys Hilux, aswell as a rear bar (have a nifty idea on this one) for it. Plus one of the guys at work wants a rear bar for a 4runner. So I'm gonna be flat knacker ...

We had to add another piece of RHS to the rear due to the fact we decided to use a different size toolbox. It also meant we could bring the side's out 20mm past the width of the wheel and make the guard pieces to suit. Please note that the wheels in this pic are 275 profiles, much wider and ...

Now for the guards. The one's on the trailer were bent, twisted and looked like shit. That and the fact a 30x9.5 wheel wouldn't fit inside. So the plan was to hack off the guards from the original body, and have some bling alloy ones bent up. We also decided to make them run the full length of the ...

The jockey wheel came so that you could set it at any height you want, it just had to be welded where appropriate. Quick run around and we're all set. http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad234/cglapa91/96958F1C-1F45-4942-AF5C-062A74F644E0-2787-000003061C6D2D66_zps5992ff71.jpg With the jockey wheel ...

On the above pic it shows 2 pieces of 50x50x4 angle welded to the chassis. It sits flush with the top and adds another bolt down location for rear toolbox. Anyway, we mounted the axle and some spare Navara wheels (temporarily), flipped it, and voila! 10x's easier to move around. http://i939 ...

"Why use blue steel instead of galv" Good question. Firstly, because it is far easier and less time consuming to weld steel with blue paint than steel covered with galv. I weld a lot of galv at work and I am very confident in my ability to weld it together. However, no matter what settings or how ...

So after being told by a few people to stop spamming up the TOTT thread (and any others), I decided that this would be my own little space to post up photo's of stuff that I make. Will you learn anything? Hopefully a thing or two Am I looking for advice/criticism/pointers? Of course. I'm a third yr ...

My old boy had an 02 HDJ100 (RIP :( ) with the following: H/D torsion bars cranked up 60mm Pedders foam cell struts 3 inch pedders coils and foam cell shocks. Airbags in rear aswell. Did almost 135000 km on that set up loaded with 180l long range tank, winch bar, warn 9000, twin batteries, spare ...

Did you fit the winchbar/winch/fairlead yourself? Not doubting your abilities here but I imagine the local shop would kick up a stink if you did it yourself. If they did it then providing you aren't dealing with idiots you should be able to get a good resolve from this

Cheers for all the pointers and what not everybody!

Like I said, thought I would toss the idea around and see what the general consensus it.

Cheers Outers

You could sell said cars and buy a td for bout the same coin. Your chasing stars. Coin from sale of Cruiser already has it's priorities. So we'll push that aside. Basically leaving coin from the Navara to play with etc. aah but the duramax will still be in front for the next 10 years.. power and ...

Evening Outers, I am chasing some direction here after trying the search function and a solid hour on google with very minimal Co-operation. Here is the dilemma. My old boy is over his D22 Navara. Sure it is much cheaper to run than the FZJ105 but it is WAY smaller, and very very truck like in ...

Thought I had posted all my stuff in here but turns out that was the TOTT thread :? Was slow one day at work so my workshop manager came out and said "Chook, you're gonna build me a trailer" No worries, being a second year welder/fabricator I thought this would be pretty sweet, haven't had many ...

Bit quiet around these parts :? Back at trade school this week and they let me outta the cage and into the bays so I could have a crack at aluminium TIG welding. Took me a few goes to get it but I passed in the end :D This is the only photo I got Welder is a Cigweld Transtig 200 http://i939 ...

Ok my first atemp at TIG welding tonight. This is the welder i'm using. its a cheapo tig/stick/plasma from ebay! http://imageshack.us/a/img560/9237/img0309zy.jpg Ive used the plasma cutter a fair bit, and it works great. Use the stick alot as my mig is 3phase and i don't have 3phase at home D ...

Got a set of 35x10.5x16 Centipedes on 16x8 white sunnies (105 landcruiser) For sale if your interested??

Tie a knot on the end then Double hitch it onto the drum then wrap it with tape. Thats how I have seen a few of the winch boys do it. That way if you need ot replace it. Its a easy swop over as well. I commend those boys for having the kahunas to rely on that set up for holding 2+ tonne worth of ...

So what are the actual plans for the car once all this fan dangled technological work has been done? Show car? Mild lift and 33's? Burnout car even??
