Outer Limits 4x4 Board

It was a good time racing with the Aussies. Nick,Mal and the crew really did well. They should all be proud. Ben and I had to fight thru some pretty big set backs like a fire in prerunning and a few broken mounts that shouldn't have. As well and a drive line and oil pan break during the race that ...

Fire suits are good, makes drivers look like drivers and they buy a bit of time to help you get out in case of fire. I know 3 close friends that have been in race car fires every one was happy to have on their SUPER SUIT. For the winch challenge guys a fire suit may not be needed, maybe a fire life ...

Looks great Matt. You guys race in a few days right?

Gday Wayne I understand the part about installing the reg after the pump but there are only 2 large hosetails and then the smaller one which is vaccum on the bottom. the 2 large hosetails would be used as inlet from pump and outlet to fuel rail therefore only leaving the vaccum port free,Or am i ...

Hey guys So im up to the final stages of the LS1 to hilux conversion in my truck. Need a bit of advice from the v8 and engine gurus. The LS1 does not run a return line as it is all done inside the original fuel tank. My question is should I : A-buy billet fuel rails with a return in the drivers ...

Actuator rod is a few mm to long, causes the MC to retail some pressure. remove the MC and adjust the adtuator rod till it relases all the way with the vacume booster charged.

At a quick glance they all appear to be the old school 3 piece lockers not the new 2 peice timed system with the locking gear that broaches when you stare at it too hard. Wonder if ARB sold or lost that design patten and that is why they push so hard on the new timed lockers. Wayne Edit: seems they ...

IF you can find Poyurethane foam glue a bunch of that together and shape it to the final shape you want then glass that and dig out the foam. IT shapes easily and it cheap. you can use Styrene foam but you have to coat it with a blocker of some sort to keep the resin from eating it. It is easy to ...

It needs the money???

I think i've got a handle on what you're suggesting with the bucket, if it's what i'm thinking it'd work but i'm wondering if the complexity and extra axle in the bucket is worth the trouble of manufacturing if existing set ups would do the job. I"d be pretty interested to see the project you're ...

Sorry but I still don't see how 24" is giving you 30* at the shock where on the link are you putting the shock? Are they at 90* to the link plain at full bump? How much triagulation are in the lowers? Are the shocks going to be verical to the chassis or do they lean toward the center of the car ...

Well for the OP then you are way over thinking it. With poly bushings on the frame end of the lower link I can completly flex a 14" shock mounted 2/3 the way down a 48" link without binding the shock eyes. This nets an honest 18" of travel from full stuff to full droop. I never ramped it cause well ...

I see two inherent problems with that sort of a setup though, one is stopping it from trying to invert and either bending the shock shaft or snapping the end off. I think the aforementioned Treg Hitch style of joint with two opposing bolts is just going to collapse on itself. Great in tension for ...

Nice read, thanks. It seems trasmissions are always a problem, its funny that all these cars, right through to tt and drag all run essentially crap 1960's boxes. In any Baja event many guys fail through their 20k+ prepped th400s etc. Does anyone run a 6l90e over there? I'm leaning towards this box ...

Ben you are forgetting the hours on the phone chasing parts that will be done and to you last week, and the endless sponsor search which we could not do this without them and ........well I don't type that fast

While I have had the same machining swarf poor QC and all the other problems with FOA. I will say exactly what I said in the Pirate thread. They are a good option for a low price point rebuildable shock. If I were in Australia I would think long and hard before I bought a set just because of the ...

there is no reason with proper length and rate springs you can't set up the shock with a dual rate kit. A tender spring ( triple rate) is a bandaid for improper spring sest up. Now knowing how limited springs are for you guys to get over there it may be something I would consider in case you had to ...

I have 2x16" triple bypasses 2.5" fox if you need some. Brand new in wrapping. $800ea cheers bru Something tells me he'll be running 14"s. I would bet on axle mount 14" co and BP up front and 14"cos and 16" bypass in the rear mounted on the link. coil carrier in front and the Bypass 25% up the link ...

Presuming he builds within the rules (no coolant through the frame rails like this one seems to have, etc), why couldn't he race this at one of the big off road races in Aus? Sure he'd have to run open class tho Yeah ben this has all been worked out we need to run a body to race over here and that ...

Matt that is cool, wondering with the coilover mocked up on the lower rear link what sort of ends are you using to stop link rotation? i see on the diff end you have big rod ends. not ripping on your stuff just wondering what are your thoughts on this? It is cool to see such high qaulity parts and ...

The steering wheel is on the wrong side mate. Its gonna turn left when you wanna turn right! Looks good Matt you have the Redneck stamp of approval.
