Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Thanks guys

I'm pretty sure the whole centre is farked - I was wondering whether the axles may have been routed due to excessive heat or something, or maybe the wheel bearing shat themselves.

Basically I just want to be able to replace the whole centre and be done with it.

Cheers,
Benno

So the diff locked up the other day, completely, wheels won't turn at all.

Am I likely to have problems other than the diff? I.E would the axles or bearings be a problem?

Thanks
Benno

There's a wheel/rim modifcation shop at Sumner park that may be able to help. Try the yellowpages

How to change a Hilux CV

Hey cheers mate,
I just got some M7 x 1.00 mm bolts from Supercheap, can't be arsed with the studs

Benno

Sweet, thanks guys.

It's not the battery terminals, I'm not lucky enough to have a problem that is so easy to fix

I'll try moving random wires around in the engine bay to see if I can find it.

Cheers,
Benno

Hi guys,

Anyone able to tell me what diameter/pitch/length the studs in the hilux diff housing are?

I stripped a couple

Yeah, I could go outside and look, but I'm scared of the dark.

Would Supercheap or Repco have em?

Cheers,
Benno

Hi guys,
I think my lux has a loose connection somewhere:

On some bumps, all the lights flicker, and the stereo turns off (and then turns itself back on again)

I haven't blown a fuse ever, so that would seem to rule out a short.

Any ideas on where to start?

I've had a quick look around and it's ...

I'm quite possibly blind.... but I couldn't see what I was looking for in there.

Just to clarify:
I'm not looking to have it engineered (even 33's are a no go :( )
All I want is a RWC so that I can sell it. I'm just not sure if the mechs who do RWCs check for modifications at all.

Cheers,
Ben

Hi guys,
Unfortunately the time has come to sell the Fuklux.

So, can anyone tell me if things like:
33's
big offset rims
diff forward 30 mm
lack of front mudflaps
flared wheel arches

are going to be a problem for a RWC?

Any recomendations for who to see about a RWC

thanks guys,
benno

welded steering components are bad, mmmmkay?

I run 33's with stock springs and no rubbing, diff 30 mm forward...

Draglink was modded at an engineering shop, they cut and threaded it, and threaded some high grade steel to suit and fitted lock nuts... it's all good. (touch wood/head)

for a 4 inch ...

I kinda thought you could fit 33's on this model lux just by hammering the shit out of the rear part of the inner guards.

Ben

maybe change your diff ratios?

or get a nikko!

Bubs,
would it be possible to run rears up front with stock hangers and possibly shackles? How would this go for height and flex?

cheers,
benno

I believe the 2LT has a stronger bottom end that makes it more suitable for forced induction.

Hopefully someone else can chime in with details.

4. Would a hilux 5.29 centre fit into an early model hilux front?

AKAIK all solid axle lux centres are interchangeable, howevere the drive shaft flange pattern may vary. Easy enough to get the right flange for your application though.

cheers,
benno

the dude who cut and flipped my rims just welded the holes.... one of the welds didn't penetrate enough (I guess) and leaked a bit. I stuck some slime in there a few months ago and it hasn't leaked yet

Pull the s/m

Remove the cover on the front (vehicle front, alright, closest radiator) of the solonoid

Remove the solonoid contacts and clean them with a file or replace if they're really bad. ~ $12 or so.

Ended up getting one from the wreckers for $150.

Just in case anyone is interested, the 2L motors had two (at least, that I know of) different starter motors that are interchangeable. I know have a bigger one

I pulled the thermostat out, will see how she goes on the drive down to the goldie ...

Sweet, thanks guys.

I just went to have a look at it again (it's parked at my old mans place now).

The flywheel is ok, thank phark.

killalux, this clutch assy, would it allow the gear to spin freely in one direction only? Cause at the mo, it spins real easy in one direction, but takes a ...

Thanks guys.

I noticed this morning that the earth cable was buggered, so I replaced that. As I was taking the old one off it fell apart, I don't think it could have been carrying much current.

After that it started intermittently, so I took the starter motor out, cleaned and greased ...

hi guys

Question 1.

My starter motor finally packed it in today. It spins heaps quick but doesn't engage the flywheel.

Is it likely that I can pull it down, grease it up and get it working? Anything in particular to check for?

Question 2.

And, the POS is overheating on the highway ...

It sure is. If you don't breathe in soon you will die.

I was told that it is better to extend the shaft properly, as using a spacer increases the angle at the uni joint, which would be bad when flexed out.

not that I have any flex

for lightweight...

has anyone ever used or considered a VW motor?

Heaps light to start with, no radiator, no cooling probs, plenty of power if you've got the coin.

I reckon a type IV (from a kombi) bored out to ~2.4 litres. Can be dry sumped, turboed and injected.

There's guys that run ...

hey bubs do you know anything about the legalities of coil conversion in qld?

just curious

benno

I reckon if you make it pretty light it'll just bend out of the way and pop straight back out again. Maybe!

Benno

Can't be that hard to make a whole front end, bonnet + guards, yourself if you're really keen.

I've sorta been thinking about it, but need to fix some other shyte first.
