Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi guys, have just taken delivery of a 05 Patrol. So far its been great to use just a little bigger than my old car. The standard suspension came up as soft in a pre purchase inspection. I want to retain road manners but my old Jackaroo had a 4in lift and drove well so surely this is feasible in a ...

ring your dealer, for more information try www.recalls.gov.au

For those not aware a new recall is out on the turbo diesel. Apparently affects all models from 98 to 04. They will replace all injectors on these cars free of charge. About time too.

had the misfortune of destroying an alternator on the weekend. thought a replacement would be easy as there is no vacumn pump etc hanging off it. wanst the case, finding one was hard enough but there is a mob who sells aftermarket newies in canberra for $549 dollars. new one from holden was $1000 ...

both my jackaroo (1999) and rodeo (2002) have cats in them from factory. Apparently not necessary as commercials dont need them by law, but thats the way they came from japan.

from memory bolts on jackaroo were 10mm by 150mm at 1.25pitch thread. have just finished two shifter extensions, have got spare if you want.

glen, mines a 98 and had all the injector problems etc...however last big trip it went on it did the same thing as you mentioned. turned out to be air leaking through the hose at the intercooler. it originally had 2 clamps on it, however after its last service only one was put back. this is when the ...

beeno,

have tried a few times to email you but messages keep bouncing back, can i get your email add to post photos,

beeno, i had the same problem with the steps on mine. i decided to build my own sliders as no one had an off the shelf set for jacks. i had already done the body lift so fitting was easy, as once the body is lifted it exposes the chassis rails under the sills. mine were made from 50*50 steel tube ...

after finally getting the new turbo on the jacka (two weeks wait) i now have a grinding noise from the drivers side brake. pretty sure just pad noise so has anyone done a replacement on a 98 model, no ABS. if so how hard and any info on pad type or part numbers? thanks.

dont know of any transfer cases floating around, but there is a large holden wreckers just down the road. has been a pretty good source for myself (snorkel, long range tanks, bars, cargo barriers etc..), but before i bother him are all cases the same between ages and motor/trans variations?maybe ...

after speaking with USA4wd in melb through the week the teralows are avaliable through them for all isuzu 5 speeds. the cost is $2500, give or take depending on the dollar. that is for parts only, figure another $600+ for install. was told the install is a real pain and involves gearbox and transfer ...

noel, back in the country again, and back to work...anyway was looking for something to do the other day and decided to lift the fuel tank up the 2 inches i gained from the body lift. was not much of a drama, just ran the fuel lines/breathers over the tubular cross member in front of the tank, and ...

noel, no pics yet as on holidays in europe but will try to get some when i return to the country.

good on ya noel! the car looks heaps better with the lift. i kept putting it off but one day just decided to do it and was pleasently suprised how easy it was. the hardest part was finding the longer bolts to fit the captive nuts on the rear end. my radiator shroud fell off when the lift was done ...

Hi all, Probably should has introduced myself before asking to many more questions. Great to be able to find info on isuzus locally. mines a 98 3.0td, with all the associated problems. have had 3 oring replacements, 2 sets of glow plugs and 1 clutch but seems to be running sweet at the moment ...

Had the misfortune of removing the exhaust on a jackaroo using a rock. The section where it comes down from the turbo and bolts to the front of the muffler is needing replacement. Was going to do anyway as it was hanging low after the bodylift. I have decided to replace the whole system, has anyone ...

if you want to pull parts off the car i would be interested in some accessories. mainly the exhaust but also storage system and the torsion bars. have got original exhaust if you need another to replace it with. if the girl agrees maybe the roofrack and the airlocker and fuel tank. thanks

thanks for the ideas and info on the ratios. i checked with a wrecker and he was pretty sure widetracks came with 4.77s but to be sure hes going to pull apart a 03 model today to check for me. in the meantime i think ill run my 265 75s during the week and for towing and my 285s on the weekend ...

As i am new to this group could you please help with a couple of questions? looking to run 33's on a 98td jackaroo. I have been lead to believe the front diff is a 10 bolt and the rear a 12. standard ratios are 4.53 will the 4.77 (off a wide track) be a sufficent change to notice the tyre size? the ...
