Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I put the same setup on my semi tipper so i didnt have to keep walking back and forth from the cab when tipping into augers. Done 3000t into our own silos using this, so prob 100 loads. Never had a problem with it. control box is mounted under the sleeper and exposed to the elements, inc alot of ...

Just a bit of an update. There is a thread on patrol4x4.com about an install into a gu ute, so i figured i might as well give my update here as well. These little fridges are absolutely amazing. will chill a 1.25 coke bottle down in an hour from room temp. I use mine in the truck for the last 18 ...

just a quick Q about your winch.

I was thinking about using one on my boat trailer to drag my tinny (200kg total) up (and down) from steep river banks. Do you think they have enough grunt and will last long enough for it to be a decent idea.

When i was running Au thermos i was using 30 amp fuses on each one no probs. I tried 20 but blew on start up. I found the best solution was to strip out the wiring from a falcon and use as much of it as i could inc relays,etc. Fans then seemed to pull more air and were noisier as if they were ...

I run/ran a set of kelly MTR. never had a flat tyre in 5 years. popped a bead once.

Bloody tough tyre, ill buy kelly again for sure.

past experiences from at least half dozen or so inc a moderator or 2 would be glad to hear the phone numbers dont work.

Try Kmart tyre and auto, great cusotmer service and better a work std.

the fumes from welding gal contain arsnic. My old man died from a cancer caused mainly from welding gal for years at work without any breathing protection.

Be very carefull. thesedays i always use a fan to blow any fumes away when im welding anything.

Goodluck

can any one give any feedback in regards to running std split rims on a patrol/cruiser. I got a ute to use a daily driver/backup/cruiser recovery vehicle and was thinking of just using the split rims on it rather than going to 31x10.5 tyres.

Thanks

Sounds like they could be burnt unfortunately, but try putting the springs back on the valves and see if air still gets through with a hundred or so pounds of spring holding the valve closed. that was with the valve springs in place. :bad-words: :bad-words: :bad-words: :bad-words: that head was ...

Its a Diesel and was doing my valve stem seals( have motor out anyway) and put 90psi of air into cylinders to hold valves, and noticed a heap of air escaping past the exhaust valve on 1 cylinder, Then i tried another and that one was leaking but not as bad. Im figuring the blown manifold gasket has ...

try pirtek,enzed,etc all will make it. if you want to they will do mobile service or fit in their workshops'

capalaba area. if a few people reccomend one place we would be happy travel.

ex wife has a 2.8td 4m40 pajero( looks like one i used to own :bad-words: ) that is suffering from rooted injector pump seals. apparently common problem with these motors. supposed to be 2 seals,injector pump needs removal,etc. Can any one reccommend a good place to go. Looks like i gotta foot the ...

i have a MQ patrol and am putting a gq leaf diff front in the front while my engine is out. To do this i need to cut off my spring mounts to widen them, so Is it worth doing a shackle reversal while im going? I have no plans for SOA, rockcrawling, etc. just trying to make the old girl more reliable ...

there are a few pics of mine in my build thread on the patrol 4x4 forum. not really that hard to do. finally pulled My Mk off the road to get it finished.

first glance it look slike a MQ one to me too. If it weighs a shit load it prob is. MQ is 3.3 or 4.6 ratio too. numbers are on the side of the crownwheel

you have some major bad luck. Last sunday i chucked out 3 boxes 1 i rebuilt then blew up 5th,but all else was good 1 was still a runner but needed a build 1 was in parts. having been there and done that, dont waste your time. cost me around a grand for bearings and genuine gaskets. wait for one to ...

bloke at work has a gq ute non turbo. Starts missing around 2700 in any gear and when in cold weather does it worse and has loss of power. Temp guage wont move off about a quarter. even up hills etc loaded. Empty she weighs about 3 tonne. Also if feahtering the throttle down a hill it will start ...

looks like a reverse taper sleeve.

SImple as drilling hole in old taper, press fit new tapered sleeve and then run bigger tie rod ends the other way round.

would love to find some for my patrol

Fresh 2H Castrol RX Super, ryco filter, 5000km. Does anybody have any comments RE: the RX super? The only reason i use it is because the old man has used it for years in his cruiser/tractors etc. one of the many stories of running rx super involved a rebuild of a 350 cummins that done 1.3 million ...

as in a toggle switch to operate lockers,etc.

any truck joint should be able to get it if its what im thinking of. used for diff and axle locks as well as suspension dump

was talking to dumbdunce the other day and he said something about gears running the wrong way round.

I got NFI really, but have the free bump

how about you search or post in toyota forums and get all the info you need, then compare that against what you already have got in your .

Mq and MK have different springs also in the front, before you even enter the petrol/diesel debate.

I can tell you gq leaf front is different from MK front.

the ram on the tailgate lock on the tippers are a bit smaller than that. the force generated is enough to chop the top of fingers off. IF you dont believe me ask the bloke who did just that last week

maybe try adding a oil temp gauge. i did to mine and running std boost exhaust,etc i could get the oil temp up to 120 degrees pretty easy towing a box trailer. at that time the water temp was around the 90 degrees mark.

too easy. I had it out as i was doing the rear main seal. Didnt check the rest as i dont like touching things that seem to be ok for fcedar of rooting em properly. Engine prob has done 100 thou since the alleged rebuild. No scores on the crank that i could see. Have bung it all back together so time ...

interesting reply guys. love for some more people to follow up. Iv had this motor for a few years now and has always had fresh castrol RX super oil but sometimes cheap oil filters. always done at 5k and nearly all hway kms. Maybe its time to fit a real oil pressure gauge instead of nissans factory ...

I have 4 cat ones here in the swap meet pile. I had them on my patrol ages ago as driving lights for slow speed work, bloody nice light. fully sealed case. and out of memory have vibration dampner built in. the wires attach via studs on the outside, a bit like car amps (stereos). If your intrested ...

the only issue i have is trying to get some one to drill into the new gear and not fark it up. the one place i know of would charge like a wounded bull on heat. worse still is the time to take it there. The dowels arent even a tight press fit on the orig gear( pictured one) its the splines that hold ...

switch is stuffed, common problem( in MQ atleast) pull apart, clean,etc.

And while your at it, use a proper subject title. I usually dont even look at threads with stupid headings, lucky im half
