Outer Limits 4x4 Board

My reco is to get a single HD Albright unit...I have one each on my F/R hi-mounts and they are GREAT!

Thanks man!

Suspension is off the shelf OME ( :D ), diffs are Toyota 8" Ring and Pinion with 30 spline Jac Mac axles and Longfield Chromo CVs...

Next step is to maintain the engine, ZF, LT, Ashcroft, wrap it around a tube chassis, put a pair of steering Rockwell 2.5t axles, same tires, and coil ...

heyluv4bee'n - no build thread per se, it's been 10 years in the making (actually today is the 10 year anniversary of buying that Disco).

You can see a lot of pictures on my facebook (Nadim Samara) or on YouTube (search DiscoDino).

Cheers,
Nadim

Looks great!

x3 on Albrights!

Thx guys...Lebanon is nothing but green...that is unless humans have settled in that area...then it is dry/concrete (much like anywhere on this earth)...

With mountains starting at 650m altitude, you can easily have any terrain you want...at the same time (rivers, trees, swamps, snow, rocks...etc ...

Also went camping...we were only 3, and on the truck most of the time (3rd dude on the tray doing "turret duty")...but there are some deep sections in the river...named "Dog River", its one of the richest areas in Lebanon (fauna/flora) with the cleanest water...that is until the recent past where ...

This picture is from the first run this year...you can see the mesh grill was in place. The fans would turn on very frequently so I decided to take the grill off and see if it was blocking the airflow...indeed it was...now the fans turn on momentarily, unless static/offroad (it also shaves 200g from ...

Well, I'm back in the US after 3.5 weeks of vacation...did 6 trips, where I'd consider 4 were hardcore...

Carnage:

1. rear pinion (Yukon 4.88)...I'm getting the pictures from my buddy (wife stole the camera that day)...the damage is done to the CENTER of the 8 teeth...quite weird I thought...not ...

That's a G alright...barks more than it bites...the owner is a great driver though...walked through stuff no one thought he could...

Well, I’ve been on vacation back in Lebanon for the past week and have gone on three offroad trips…no carnage to report other than a driver’s side mirror after a small flop…drivetrain is good (Toy conversion, under-drive, ), doors are still on as 1st trip I felt I’d be insecure without ...

looks good, great opening...but doesn't look like the same arches on their internet site...no?

I honnestly don't mean to sound, well, mean...BUT that's seriously not stable-looking...now, me here in NYC and BS-ing about a picture of the internet doesn't make much sense, however, I can tell you that I did run a 10cm lift once ...

for 37s, I'd still go with a set-up that would least upset the suspension geometry, let alone the steering one...

2" OME, cutting/flares, 2" Body lift (engineering issues in Aust?) and that's that...if I'm 6" wider, all the better...if not, its been proven to work...

Good on you to tackle ...

Thanks!

Any photos - thinking about these flares for a buddy's truck - do they clear tires BETTER than the LRA ones?

I tuned my 2002 TD5 with a chip, intercooler, straight exhaust, waste gate shut off, and filter...did well...smoked some...

Any items from the leading aftermarket TD5 people can do it well (JE Engineering, Jeremy Fearns, etc...)

Looking good...reminds me of my Disco a couple of years ago...

Hally - the "D" shape comes from the tires being Bias...so with time (even overnight in hot countries), they get to that shape...couple of clicks and they're round again...

Jay - I have some equal in Lebanon...don't advise it for anything above a mild 33-35...its a waste of time, money and ...

In that case, fit two

GQs? I thought they had the worst hubs? my buddies' (2 with GQs) keep blowing hubs (AVM or Warn or OEM) and this is without a front locker...

the CV is also no match for the Longs, granted it is a bit pricier, but it simply is no match...

Final thoughts...( :armsup: )...until the Patrol makes it ...

Unless you have FREE GU diffs, or 404 diffs, or RW2.5 diffs, FREE I say again, there is nothing better pound for pound, $ for $, and Oz of sweat to Oz of sweat, than the Toy Conversion.

Either than or stick to the 29s and the tarmac...

So what's the issue with doing the Toy conversion?

Nadim

Sounds fantastic...

Suggest you post up on Pirate as they have a lot of experience on these things...

Needs bigger tires
