Outer Limits 4x4 Board

why do you want to replace the 2f? it'd give us a good indication of what your chasing. the 2f is decent enough if healthy. My personal choice would be a fuel injected 4.0 litre falcon straight 6, preferably AU VCT, but anything from EB onwards is practically the same. Nice lazy torque monster ...

Most of the problems with very early on BEB with the 1HDT were not related to the bearings at all. It was one bad run of rods machined incorrectly. But because they make and machine them in batches of literally hundreds or thousands of number 1 rods, then so on for number 2 etc... They didnt know ...

so remove circlip kingpins and the bolts on the swivel hub and it all should pull off????? Most likely it'll take some wiggling, and you might need to push/pull your kingpin bearings into line because the knuckle will usually catch on them, but yeah it will. be careful tho, those assemblies are ...

can't find any boat forums that i can sign up for without a isp issued email address.. something i don't have

do you think the turbo of my sahara would give me enough boost with a cooler
cheers

turbo diesel i am assuming.

if so, then probably not, but i'm no turbo guru. i just have experienced a few boosted 1fz-fe's

Thanks for the info mate, that makes more sense than my info that i heard through a mate through a mate at toyota (toyota chinese whispers). Does anyone know if they had the same BEB problems with the 1HDFT as in the 1HDT?? Cheers... same source said that 1hdft's had less BEB warranty work done ...

Hahah. To make your front axle any good, it will need a Nissan centre in it. yes, because winch trucks are so much harder on their front diff than the rock crawling guys... who get away with 80 front diffs My choice would be supercharged or turbo'd 1fz-fe (they love boost, you'll love boost, it's ...

If you get one make sure you take the sump off and change the big end bearings, originally these engines used to spin big end bearings and stuff the crank.... Cheap insurance to change them. Great engines though! had a mate who was a service manager at toyota when these things came out (he left the ...

At the moment, looking at a 15-18 foot trailer boat for around 10 grand. pretty sure the mechanical (outboard) side of things will be ok for me to check, being fairly mechanically minded, but i have NFI what to look for in the hull side of things. most likely will be a fibreglass boat due to ...

Depends how good you are but when I pulled a 3rd member put I just took out king pins and left the hole hub assembly together. It is hard to line up after tho when reinstalling this is my method for getting the front axles/ front diff out. just remember which side what shims go on and it's all good ...

Will vouch for Pcmans lpg/ turbo mix. thing pulled like a teenage boy in any gear with 5psi. I never experienced it with 12!

When you compared the BFG MTs to the Claws which versions were you comparing?

Old BFG KMs or newer KM2s?
Old Claws or newer TTC Claws?

Old KMs, Old claws.

Many petrol motors thrive on lpg... at 1/3 the cost of diesel don't mean to oversimplify your post, as i agree with alot of it - however in sydney gas is .65 and diesel is 1.38 per liter, no where near 1/3 basically 1/2 the price per liter - but then you use alot more gas... alot more. Day to day ...

If you have a import the diff gearing may be 3.73. I suggest you start getting some hard facts and measure things to figure out where your gearing difference comes from. Probably the 12HT is either an import or has the diffs changed, what does the compliance plate say for the diffs? K084 ? This. if ...

crap, i should change my loc, i've been back in melbourne for over a year, cheers anyway guys.

the couple of tire joints that are near me think that size is gold. $250 a tire, no matter the brand.

I was looking at diesel more for economy and reliability. I am after a mid sized as well hence the suggestions I made. many times diesel is false economy. not always, but it's not as simple as diesel burns less fuel = save money Petrols cost much less to maintain - service and repair. and generally ...

coz it's not a real 4bie if it's not diesel *sarcasm*

Have just put a two inch efs lift in my cruiser ute, have rebuilt the front diff with new hub/wheel bearing and seal kit,new locktup cvs, all new tie rod ends and return to centre steering damper. do i need to fit 2 degree caster wedges? took it for a drive today and it wanders big time, also the ...

Id probably fit the locker in the rear because the rear end gets heavy once loaded up and the standard lsd isn't all that good to start with, plus steering wont be a strong point with the locker up front. I love my 105 best 4wd by far Jono, the Locker up front is to make the diff carrier stronger ...

I've run 33 x 12.5 r 15 on my 40 and my 45. With the claws, the 40 went from standard height - lifted - standard height with 16 inches of flex at each corner/stretched wheelbase, and twin locked with the claws on the 45 troopy is bone standard. Other rubber i've had to compare them to: BFG All ...

Does anyone know of a source/brand of cheap 7.50 r 16 tires for use through the week? I don't particularly care if they are rough/noisy/on road/offroad/fast wearing tread, because they are basically to keep the diffs off the ground on my troopy, and ensure i can drive it to work when the mood takes ...

The TD5's had a pretty good rep for reliability, but we're starting to see a fair few come through work now they are hitting over 200 000 k's. best case for heads, worst case for whole engines. now we don't normally see many older cars in our workshop, but we've done 9 td5 engine swaps in the last ...

What normally goes wrong with these? is it just the motor/reg? I'm looking at a couple of disco's at the moment and they all at least one window that won't go up or down. Now if it's just the reg/motor, it's not too bad, because i've found some regs/motors on ebay for $150, but if there is a deeper ...

Sexy as. Can any one tell me what sort of costs are involved and which suppliers are best for getting a set of built Dana60's/Spider9's/Corporate14bolt? What sort of options and components would you use for each manufacturers axle end to end and at what cost? I've been following the Ultra4 scene a ...

Yeah have thought of those, but scared of the economy of the V8 and the inherent reliability issues...

fuel economy - better than the xj
reliability issues? - more reliable than the xj.

Sam T wrote:What lift is required to run 33's and how high for 35's, assuming i extend the wheelbase ~5in

for 33's? none.

for 35's? assuming your moving the rear diff back in that wheelbase stretch, and assuming your going to run powersteering that does away with that relay rod?

none.

if it's the inlet side, spray some wd40, or aero start, or whatever burns around the joints while the car idles. if the idle speeds up, you know where the leak is

With a fat turbo hanging off the side. Plenty of room for it.

If i were going that route, i'd start with a OHC 4 litre from an ef-au, but so far mines got about $500 into it going the xflow/c4 etc
