Outer Limits 4x4 Board

i put a vt commodore V8 5.0 (120A) alternator on my rb30 with only minimal mods and pulley swap.

Go Mechanical!

i had beadlocks, bought brand new stauns / rims / centipedes all together.
every trip i would have at least one equalise (i.e. leak from the staun into the tyre) rendering the beadlock useless.

i only ever aired them down to 12PSI and in the end after having one tyre fall off the ...

I have now jacked the car up ONCE again!

still doing the same thing , have now swapped solenoids front to rear.

with the locker out and only the front right wheel off the ground and hubs locked in the wheel spins freely.

with the locker engaged the wheel locks up (has about 1/8th of a turn) if ...

just went though the same probs it was the locker the gear that is pushed in to place when you put air to it was stripped. how old is your locker if under 12months take it back they had a prob with a hole batch. if not still get it looked at

ive now had the locker out and had it rebuilt and all ...

you will need the rotor and the mounting bolts that hold the caliper to the rotor as the twin pot bolts are shorter

no i have changed to manuals and i have swapped the hubs left to right and the problem has stayed on the same side (Drivers Side)

ARB Air locker

I have got a 99 GU Patrol Wagon and have been having some proms getting drive to the front wheels.

with the front end off the ground everything works as it should i.e

locker out and spin one wheel then only tailshaft smpis
locker in then both wheels spin together

put one wheel on the ground then ...

i think crimping is better as it can withstand higher heat

solder can melt with the high current

some people chose to solder the ends of the cables before they crimp them too

.

isnt an ammeter a short i.e it should go in series with the load unlike a voltmeter which should go in parallel?

is it an auto??

if so , i know the skylines run the Auto computer under the passenger seat.

just wanting to know what everyone thinks... just after winching today im thinking of getting the Dynamica Rope ...depends

You can get ropes other than the dynamica brand for cheaper if you shop around.

And yes, rope is superior to cable as long you look after it, wash it etc.

what brand do ...

if it is such a drama borrow a bloody clamp meter!

put your multimeter on Current ( DC A =) and remove the battery terminal and put the meter between the batt terminal ant the terminal with all your wires (with the car switched off) and this will tell you how much current you are dragging

then you need to isolate the circuits and find which one is ...

silastik is ok until you need to remove a tyre from the rium then it can get really messy.

i found it helped a little however it no miracle bead lock.

tubes can be good however as mentioned they can spin on the rim.

can be an easy fix if you carry a few tubeless valves.

Nice shots tom

i would but i just shipped my last couple of mil to a long lost relative from nigeria that sent me an email :armsup:

As for OP , id go with the spacer.

as a test tou could try using a bit of wood cut out approx right to ...

you may want to speak to some of the competitors from here http://www.a4wdmra.com.au/

they call em "rice patty tyres" im not sure what size they run or where they get em but im sure someone there can tell ya!

yes you do but make sure you get it to an engineer before the new laws come in.

ive heard they are cracking down on cargo barriers

are these the ones that can be adapted to fit a 6Hp motor??

if so then that would be a good idea.

if not then just carry a snatch block and halve the load on the winch.

ive got 3" lift in my GU and i fit 35's and 36"s with bump stop extentions.

4" and 33" is overkill , you will easily fit 33" with 2" lift

35" and 3" lift and mines still under 2.0m so it fits most carparks.

AFAIK ute and wagon bars are the same

i guess if youve got no cash you could do this

NSFW!!!!

Removed by the moral police.

I use an lpg blow torch to heat it up, and whack lots of solder into the lug after I have crimped it. Then I cover the whole thing with liquid electrical tape, and over the top of that with race tape. Makes for a perfectly sealed connection that is not prone to corrosion. especially good if you do ...

I've found my hi lift jack is great for sitting in the corner of the shed for about 7 years never getting used. The handle is very handy though as a breaker bar

I am the complete oposite, I find new uses for mine all the time, I reckon they are great!

also good for DIY anesthetic (will knock ...

sounds like a good way to save breaking CV's.

just get a locker that will disintegrate first

G'day, have a look through this thread http://www.patrol4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6524 to see how to make the auto hubs into manual ones. Post 34 describes how to fix them if you want to - stops them making that clicking sound.
