Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Thanks heaps mate I'll give it a go tomorrow. Too bloody cold to go out now. BRRRRRRRR

Hey guys, I know It's not a 4WD and it's a F**D, but does anyone know to get rid of the little spanner icon on the dash of an EL Falcon? I think it is to indicate that a service is due but I have already done one on it.

Mate, Looks like a top job you are doing. I'm jealous. I take it you have a very tolerant missus. Mine cracks it at me for having diffs and landcruiser parts all over the place but never gives me the chance to finish it. LOL That link is good too.

I had a set on my 2H and made it run a bit better and sounded ok too.

Very good point. The extra power straight from idle would be an advantage but turbo sounds like a more logical idea. I'm hoping to put one on my 1-HZ soon. If I had more dollars than sense, I would love to install one of those 6.5 Chevy v8 diesels and bolt a nice 6/71 to it. It would definitley look ...

Just a question on that. Since I have never seen it done, I'm guessing it's coz it does'nt work, But can a 1-HZ be supercharged? I was thinking of like a commodore V6 one or a 3/71 roots blower or those new sprintex ones they are putting on the petrol cruisers these days. Is there a reason they don ...

Once again. Thanks for your advice gents. I will have a look at that on the weekend. For the record I am running Caltex Delo 400 15w-40.

Hi gents, My current troopie has always had low oil pressure since I got it two years ago. The guage reads only a couple of milimetres above the bottom at idle and only just goes past the first line while driving. I have changed the sender before and the readings are still the same. My last troopie ...

LOL. You all have an interesting point.

This is probably a stupid question, but I was wondering if anyone knew why the hell Toyota decided to change from six stud hubs to five when they built the 100series? I would have thought six studs would have been better. It just makes it a pain in the arse when upgrading from an 80 to a 100 cz you ...

But $650 is a big ask.

The rubber hoses from the diff to the chassis and from the steel lines to the calipers can expand alot under pressure. Braided hoses do not expand and are alot more wear and heat resistant. You get a much more confident firm feeling brake pedal too.

Mine pulls up great but there is always room for improvment when it comes to brakes. Safety first. LOL

Those Trailgear knuckles with both caliper mounts sound like a good idea. Does that mean it is possible to fit two calipers on one disc? That would be a good way to get heave cruiser with 35s to pull up. I'm looking at something like that for my 80 diff conversion.

Yeah. I'd love to catch up and see your truck one day. PM me.
I wanted to do a spring over but thought about cutting and re-welding the knuckles would be just as much as a stuff around, so that's why i figured it would be just as difficult to do coils but with more benefits.

OHhhhhhhh yeah!! I'm cracking a hard one now just looking t the pics. I love that set up and the cab conversion. I'm in F###ing love. Are they 80 diffs?

That does'nt sound like an ABS problem. If your's is a drum rear, I'd say its a wheel cylinder thats gone. If it's discs, I reckon its the LSPV on the RHS chassis rail above the rear diff. I had the same problem with mine once I lifted it. I Replaced mine and bent the rod a bit and it worked fine.

I'd rather drive the 80 without ABS. I'ts more dangerous than safe off road. My 80 gave me shits trying to stop out on the tracks when in high range. I know the ABS turns off when in low but I wanted it off in high too.

Yeah thanks mate. I just checked his page. He has done an awesome job. He has given me alot of answers. I'm very keen to do it now. No turning back.

Yeah. My thing has the flex of a house brick at the moment and the leaf mounts get me hung up on rocks all the time. Other than that, my old troopie has never let me down after all these years. I'm thinking of buying a write off 80 series from the auctions so I can bludge heaps of parts from it. I ...

Hi gents, I have a HZJ75 with an 80 series rear diff. I decided to strip it all down and weld on some leaf perches and it's been running great for two years now. The main reason was for the wider track and disc brake rear end. In order to have a matching track on the front, I'm running 3" wheel ...

Is it the front or rear tank?

I have an aftermarket rear seat in my troopie and use a child seat for my little one. Mine has a steel tube bolted to brackets installed above the rear row of windows. The child seat strap is hooked onto a hook on the bar. I believe it is called a crab bar? I don't think it is legal to install a ...
