Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I suspect you are talking about the motor Rex is getting off me?
suffice to say I can still lift it by myself, but not high enough to get it onto the back of a hilux

Stu

why dont you just turn it around, so the gearbox is on the otherside. still works the same just your feed will now be over the top like you want. everything else remains the same, no extra work on the winch, only new mounting points. You just have to put up with people telling you that you have it ...

A problem with the lowmount winches is the problem of slow no load speed and most have poor freespools. U can loose alot of time running the line out for the winches.
Weight - Try and seal off the chassis rails as much as possible, its amazing how much crap ends up in them and as the others have ...

^^^^^yep

1"smaller, 1"narrower than the equivalent Simex, worse on fast gravel, wet asphalt, dry asphalt......................

But to some a 400 beer tickets difference is a killer

Funny, i found the silverstones handles better better allround than the simexs that i had, just noticeably smaller

You will need to use either a Toyota hiace rear output shaft and tailshaft housing, a vitara transfer case or fabricate a short tailshaft housing to suit.

steve.

forgive my ignorance but are you saying that the output shaft and housing from a hiace auto will mate up to a 4 speed auto?
And if ...

May have used the wrong term. I heard a whisper aaaaages ago about a guy in Thailand who put a Vitara rear setup (axles -diff... the whole kaboodle) under the front of his Vit... have no idea how he did it, but remember hearing about it....

... I daresay it would be a farking nightmare :shock ...

how much will be jimny?

Chris

fit the NOS, you know you want to
then you can blow it up like mine

Stu

have a couple in bits
difflock forum is good for info

When they went round measuring space for clearance of internal cages in vehicles over here thay found there was more space in a jimny to fit one than a GQ patrol

fiat twin cam 1.6,1.8 & 2.0 will bolt up to the gearbox.
But it's not a straight swap. Need to alter sump, bracket for front diff etc.

Given that the transfercase is divorced you could put any RWD engine and gearbox combi in as long as it is short enough.

advanced warning - lada wiring doesn't necessarily match the diagrams.

7.8HP info here;
http://www.traxion.co.nz/product/spec/specSuperDuty.pdf

but only as part of the body structure.

easy to do a 2" suspension lift, hard work after that.

Could build something like this

Lada niva LH drop, small and cheap.

Where did you get the price?
I only asking as I didn't think anyone was importing interco tires into NZ anymore.

Amsteel blue has been used here, and can't see anything wrong with it.

well considering they appear to use standard down light halogen fittings it wouldn't take much to make something very similar. Where's some ali tube . . .

There are 2 slightly different front diffs but the rear was supposed to be the same all through.

M13A much nicer engine - rev limiter cuts in at 7500.
Drive old engine and new back to back and you won't want the g13.

and weighs more than a commodore v6 . . .

A fast pto is better for pulling through hundreds of metres of mud.

Ok point taken. I guess over here coz of our terrain conditions ( FULL of MUD MUD MUD) and how the comp trails are setup a "God's Winch" would be ideal where speed is crucial. Down under anyone toyed around with a setup like ours ...

Oh, and theres nothing wrong with a cruiser PTO provided you use upgraded shear pins.

If you can find an aisin seiki 1000 high mount winch (factory option for 60 series cruisers) this would be the best bet. Not as fast as the warn high mount but more reliable, and has a real free spool and high temp motor light on the factory winch control. Get the 24v one, will last forever.

won't the serial number tell you when it was made?
Freespool handle is ummmm unique, if you buy it assume you are rebuilding it.

Depending on what you want it to look like you can get 31s under with 2" lift and 1" body lift if you lose the prissy plastic guards and such.
You will need to fix the gearing though. Simple way trialjimny gears and a speedo corrector. Hardcore way replace transfercase with sj one and reduction ...

if you are mechanically inclined you could try and creat something out of a vitara transfercase that could then sit between the existing gearbox and case. 1:1 high and 1.8 reduction on top the the existing ratios.

As the dealer said, only change if noisy.
They don't have a set no. kms to change at.

Are you taiking about the G13 motor or the M13A?
