Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Thanks everyone for the input. I have been seriously internet impaired because of this renovation at the moment. I can only spend a few minutes at a time on the net, till we get moved back in the house.

Update is that I am in contact with Pickle's Auctions in Sydney, trying to find out the price ...

Phil,

Briefly, it appears that the cause was collapsed bottom bump stops.

xappas,

I am quite impressed with your engine performance. If you would be so kind as let know me what "PS" is equal to, HP, KW and the KG-M, is the conversion you gave above to convert the torque to Ft/Lbs or NM? How has you powerplant performed in water crossing and etc. I really what you have ...

I just picked up a Gregory's manual, makes the Hayne's look like a preschooler's picture book.

Wolfe, the manual details are this link - http://www.haynes.com.au/category138_1.htm

Interesting that Hayne's now owns Gregory's in Australia, at least.

Scott,

I do not have an issue with petrol engines as such. I have run petrol engines off-road for years, as a matter of fact until I came to Australia, I never heard the preference for a diesel when offroad.

What I am looking for in a engine, which I will be using mostly off-road, is ...

I am about to make some serious investments into my 1985 NB LWB, but I am not sure the direction I should or want to take.

It currently has a 2.6L Petrol, which from what I can gether from my research is a very capable engine that can be tricked up quite a bit.

But I am seriously looking at ...

Frank,

Thanks for the advice. I have a Hayne's manual which is extremely general, so I will get a Gregory's manual before I tear into it.

I am not against a second-hand chain except how can I be sure that I do not get a stretched one?

Thanks,

Can the chain be replaced in the transfer case without completely rebuilding the box? Also from what I have read to access the T-Case, you need to drop the the gear box along with the T-Case?

Where can I get shop manuals for the NB and/or KM145? Also has anyone had any experience with any of the ...

When running in 4WD, high or low, I get a clunk that is strong enough to be felt at low speeds. I have heard and felt this before on a Ford F-250 I used to run, when you would accidently try to drive on pavement in 4WD. The wind-up and then, BANG, as the whole thing lets loose when you finally get ...

If you read my little speil over at the "Pajero Club", you know, I literally fell into this NB. The unfortunate part is that now I am falling in love with it and am having unexplainable and irrational urges to spend large sums of money on it!! I seem to get attached to strays. I have an EA Falcon ...

Bitsamissin;

Are GEN II lower arms interchangable with GEN I? The new(used) arm I bought was from a 89, so a GEN I.

Thanks

I have a 1985 NB LWB, read about it here - My 1985 NB LWB

I bought a replacement lower control arm for the passenger side which was damaged by the previous owner not checking the shocks bolt, allowing one to drift out and the other was pulled out of the arm, taking the captive nut along with a ...
