Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Wonder how they'll hold up to countless corrugations with two heavy 33" tyres on steel wheels on the back...? I'm very undecided which one to get for my 100 series... $1690 (discounted price, RRP is $2590) supply only for the Powerful 4x4 vs over $3500 Kaymar supply only (twin carrier for a solid ...

I was real keen on the SCUBA tanks at one stage as well and the local dive operator had a couple sitting around also but a mate and I checked one out at a swap meet a while ago and even though it was ally it still weighed a ton. Probably alright for a ute application but under a wagon they seem too ...

...it has a safety relief valve that is designed to blow at 190bar (2755psi) Id say there is a fair margin of safety in the cylinders for use under a 4by Heh yeah, I'd say running one in a vehicle at ~150psi compared to a tested 3,000psi is a "fair margin of safety"!!! The SCUBA tanks are painted ...

Could you use a SCUBA air tank?

I have two that are out of stamp sitting in my shed...
Anyone want?

My 2006 live axle factory non-turbo 1HZ must be a freak then. heh.

Dunno when they actually stopped making them though, but mine says 4/2006 if that makes it any clearer than mud?

Missed out this time round. :(

For the next group buy, I'll put an order in for 1x 9006 35w @ 4200K, 2x 9005 50w kits @ 4200K, and 1x H1 50w kit @4200K...

That sounds fantastic, and only 74kg too!!

Apparently around US$16,000 for the motor.

2 Litre, 320BHP, V8.
74KG, and a whole lotta goodness!

Interesting. I've been wondering about this too. I've been wondering if the piston/mechanism in the shock would handle constantly varying pressures? Thinking about connecting them directly to my airbag suspension. Heavier load > higher airbag pressure > stiffer shock to suit. :P Neat idea! But ...

What sort of master kill switch would work on a winch like that 12000lb one?

I have ended up buying a cheaper brand than the CTEK. It was half the price and had all the same sort of modes (7-stage, 16A)

What did you end up getting, and how much?

heh, fair call.
Keep us posted on the halogen pulsing though...

...gotta go looking into pulse circuits too. Some dude has managed to get 10,000 lumens out of one of these bulbs - running at 17 volts. This is the way that they make them flamethrower torches, as in, igniting bits of paper within a second on turning the torch on. Pulse circuits??? :) Would that ...

Came across a flyer with some details on the Lightforce Genesis driving lights range that is new for 2008. They look to be a whole new design, between the 170 and 240 in size, and available in HID or halogen. Doesn't have any pricing or availability, and the lightforce site doesn't have anything ...

Lol now it's getting too hard to choose...

OK the IC208-H looks good, and I would like to buy two already modded to enable xmit on UHF CB channels.

Where can I buy them in Australia, or alternatively where can I find the programming information, software, and cable?

Cheerio

What's the rebuild costs like on a 1HZ?
Can the 5 speed manual from a HZJ105R just fit to the 1HDFT?

Would think it would be wise to stay away from the electronic one though, it would be an even bigger job but may be worth it to you.

The 706mk2G - but it looks like it will be expensive as hell and probably won't be what I need. Cool gadget factor though. Realistically I'm happy to go multiple units, makes it a bit easier. So a high powered (25W+) UHF commercial transceiver that I can also use at 5W on UHF CB, with remote head ...

Is that thing remote head unit mountable? Looks neeeeat.

I'm a fan of overkill engineering - if it is designed to be able to handle continuous xmit at 50w, then the 1/10th power it'll be used for UHF CB most of the time (5w on UHF CB channels, 25w on the company licenced channel) will mean a long life, easy work, and minimal heat for it. Plus it generally ...

Anyone know where I can buy one or two Icom IC-F6063H UHF radio kits in Australia, with remote mounting kit?

Like DD said - Very thirsty if loaded or driven hard. That said - I feel they are very reliable and overengineered so are a good choice given their purchase price can be so low. Expect 15-20L/100 as a best case range, and up to 30L/100 towing or sand 4WDing in the heat. LPG conversion might possibly ...

Sometimes the o-ring underneath can sieze up the adjustment pressure thingie (technical term I know), they are apparently quite simple to remove, lube, and replace though. I sent 4 shocks back to 4way for this prob, they apparently fixed them in about 1/2 hour, either way I had the shocks back real ...

On the same note, can the IC400Pro be mounted with a remote head at all?

I'm having trouble finding a good spot myself.
( '06 HZJ105R GXL manual Landcruiser.)

take the rack off, for sure... will drop your range by about 10-15%.
what about tyres, lift, barwork, load, average speeds?

2002 FZJ105R GXL with unichip, snorkel, 2.5" exhaust, and 3" lift with barwork, 305/70/16s, and full of kit in the back @ 110km/hr = 20L/100 PULP.

Will it work with an A442F electronic controlled unit from a FZJ105?

How can you tell if an injector or more is stuffed?

Hiya bud,

what upgrade kit goes in these for $100?

the scuba tanks hang down about an inch lower than the sills, but mine have 2mm steel bash plates over them - a friend with the same setup has dropped the entire vehicle weight on his tanks, and had no problem at all except some scrapes to the bash plates... which are easily replacable. Belly tanks ...
