Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I just got off the phone with TJM Woolloongabba (franchise?) and I was told that TJM has withdrawn pro lockers from the market due to problems and they are unsure when they will return.

Ray, all good, it's still going :)

I must get around to sorting that too.. but.. the diff dropped its guts on my driveway when I got here, so I'm glad it didn't do that on the way down :)

I've moved back to Sydney and I am looking for a new mechanic, wondering if anyone can recommend one near Newtown?

bigger mass = takes longer to stop

Thats just my reasoning :) I know i get better economy fully loaded on my way up to Fraser, maybe I drive slower beacuse I am more relaxed, being on holidays and all :)

To be more accurate, theres more low RPM (sub 1000) torque without the turbo. This is when I notice it the most. When you put more load in you have more forward momentum which is better against wind resistance. I do the maths every time I fill up and I've always gotten excellent economy with a full ...

On a n/a 2H you should get better economy with more load. I found I got under 11l/100k's with a full load and 12-13 without. I have a turbo now I get 13.3l/100k's and I drive faster and overtake where I wouldn't previously. Unsure if it will be more economical with a full load now as I've lost ...

They are 32x11.5's :)

Thinking of 35x10.5's next...

I didn't like the kit so I got the parts separate. Got pro comp shocks and anti inversion greasable shackles and the medium springs. My OME's eventually settled a little, anti inversion shackles are about a cm longer too :) I'd go back and try to get your shackles swapped over. I wouldn't mind ...

As long as all your meat is cryo'd you dont need to freeze it anyway, I go away for up to 2 weeks. Any good butcher does this for free, I even get snags cryo'd. I usually freeze a good sized roast as well and leave it in the bottom and I can get 3-4 days without driving on a full 90Ah deep cycle ...

dont blow this one up :)

hehe.. seriously.. *envy*

Interested to know how the torque goes down low compared to your 2h...

My ARB kit peaks around 8psi in the factory configuration. Does me fine. EGT's get over 400 with a bit of load up inclines the highway doing 110, I guess it'd point more towards 500 if the hill was kinda big and I was towing more, which would be enough EGT for me :) Do a search for Carts' 60 it's ...

I put a deep cycle 90Ah caravan battery in my second tray and it has its own circuit/fusebox that feeds some plugs/fridge at the back and the uhf. Off the shelf relay between it and the alternator means it is easy to fix and there is no mystery to any system if something plays up. Get up to 3 days ...

I have a front lockrite too and it does feel better in some circumstances but overall I think unlocked will get you there too.

shorty_f0rty is selling a 5 speed BJ42 for what it'd cost you for the parts alone.

I'm figuring the bellhousing/box+trans would be enough.

holy crap :shock:

Indeed! Theres a good range of 80's out there for that price..

I'd be afraid to scratch it!

I reckon redbook is accurate.

I'd be cautious running 10-15psi on a 2H without an intercooler and pyro. If you fuel that up it'll possibly die. I'm running 8psi at peak (no intercooler) and I see EGT's on inclined highways or up the beach in soft sand get just over 400, If I tried that up a mountain with a trailer I'm sure I'd ...

Hows that crusty old video of Thommo draggin the sprung over caravan up Fraser they play on 31 from time to time.. hahaha... it's coctail hour! I heard a story of a guy winching through Ngkala bypass with a camper trailer the other week when I was up there, I've seen a few guys up there with them ...

Can you not get a different sized diaphram? I had heard somewhere the 12ht ones were a bit bigger.

Any updates dybes? Keen to know how your getting on. Did you check the diaphragm?

I used to get around 11.5/100 but it now 12.5 with the turbo (I overtake lots more now and stay on the speed limit of 110) where i used to float between 95-105 and need run ups to get around slow vehicles.

Around town I'm getting 15 but I drive a bit more aggressively with the turbo.

Same.. particle filters are the rage with the new diesels in europe.. didn't think diesels had enough gas emissions to justify one.

Lance services my 60, installed my turbo recently, and has been very patient with me leaving a gearbox laying around his workshop for the last 2 months :) which reminds me I better sort that out asap!

I've recommended him to a few mates who are also very happy.

Dunc.

This thread is becoming entertaining. The question was in relation to a SWB GQ. It's all been said before. The best tyre depends on; a) your vechicle (size, suspension, power) b) how much crap you packed c) how you drive it (if you dont spin muddies you wont dig in, if you back off and reverse out ...

33's coz you got more surface area on the sand.

The Jaycar kit is $30, there is not much to em.. my boggard one is broken and looking inside I reckon it's pretty similar if not the same as the jaycar kit :) There's a particularly cheap one on ebay that's under $50 delivered, and you don't have to assemble it either. I'd say they are all the same ...

You should have pressure on the primer when you loosten the bleeder, and you need to catch it in something *squirt* if it is a bit of water. I have a spare fuel controller relay in Brisbane if you feel the need to try another, i'd check the connections to/from that considering you had the engine out ...

Does your EDIC relay click when it happens? Could be a bad relay or a bad ground somewhere.

I got my VDO from this guy ( http://myworld.ebay.com.au/dieselandperformance ) for $265, seemed pretty cheap compared to other places I had rung.
