Outer Limits 4x4 Board

So are they the ones right behind the alternator? I noticed two bungs there when I had a look.

Sorry- Didn't search very well first, lots of links but anybody with any extra info would be great.

Thanks

I have just "aquired" a Garrett GT25 and custom manifold for my TD42. It is a standard NA 4.2 in a 99 GU wagon. The question I have is where are the best spots to pick up and return oil. I know a few people return it into the sump but surely for a motor with a turbo variant, it would have somewhere ...

My 99 TD42 NA GU wagon has 275K on it.

Dunno if its the same but most of the 105s we have at work do a bearing sort of noise while not under load. They do it from new and Toyota don't really seem to care when its bought up with them. Since they are work cars, we don't chase it much since they don't seem to blow in the 60000 kays we have ...

I seem to have fixed a fair bit of my problem, I had something not on the first list I made, A bit too much slack in the steering box, All I did was undo the nut on top, tighten the screw a bit and and did the nut back up, Far better, now to get a rear balance again and problems should be sorted.

Yeah well i was thinking that a (I know I didn't say 1.3 but either that or 1.6 turbo) 1.3 or 1.6 would be light enough and with a turbo have a bit of zip about it. Something else reasonably cheap and with a bit of go would be okay, its got a 1.0 in it at the moment, maybe a corolla motor with an ...

I am considering building a purpose built Winch Challenge Suzuki and i'm after opinions. I have access to a 85 LWB ute, pretty rough but really cheap. What I am wondering is if this could be a competative machine. I have seen a few LJ's used such as kermit, I am thinking - Turbo 1.6 conversion ...

Okay then -
Why is it that when I say to people who have GUs or GQs that have had a shimmy problem?

"Get an on car balance - fixed my car wobble straight away."

Moose - I think you will find it was on Vic Range you pulled the Mav and 80, was nice work considering you had more diff clearance than the Mav and 80 combined

.

Does anybody know where I can get an on car wheel balance on my GU preferably on the Eastern Side of Melbourne, I have had a few suggestions of Beaurepairs in Kilsyth but they don't do it anymore,

We had one for a few years, my girlfriend loved it. It was a shorty two door. It had basically no mods except a bigger battery and a UHF. We took it from Melbourne to QLD and Fraser island a few years ago and up and down the beaches. It cost us next to nothing to drive up and back. It was an honest ...

I have done a lot of work removing the shimmy now, Replaced radius arm bushes, steering stabiliser, checked other bushes and played with the front suspension. Anyway, Today, I swapped wheels and tyres with a mate with a new GU. The wobble swapped cars :D He wasn't keen to leave the tyres the other ...

I have a near new set of 285/75/16 Xterrains, They seem very good at most things a normal muddy is good at. I have had BFG Muddies, All Terrains and Goodyear MTRs and as far as offroad and general highway driving, they beat the MTRs hands down. I went away from the BFG's due to several sidewall ...

I have x-terrains on my GU - im happy with them as road tyres and reasonable offroaders, obviously they are not boggers but they seem to have a reputation for good kays, from what I have done, are as good as a muddys in the mud and are good on most surfaces. Im really happy with them after having ...

Thankyou, hopefully I will be as useful to somebody else one day.

I think this post has more info in it than the other 50 posts about the Patrol wobble, It actually goes through most if not all of the reasons why they do it in one post. I thought I would see if anybody knew what caused the wobble I have - compared to the wobble of somebody with a 6 inch lift, and ...

Does anybody have any pics of a custom TD42 turbo manifold. I am just interested in what they look like compared to a standard one?

The photo of it in the ocean makes me really want it $15000 for a rust bucket

Thanks for the info, Radius arm bushes are on the agenda to be changed next week when im on leave, Will probably do king pin bearings and ill have a look around at home for my old GQ 3inch springs I had lying around somewhere. Drop boxes won't help at the moment, my GU is lower than standard at the ...

Is high or low the setting to use on a waeco fridge if you are running it on a seperate deep cycle battery? I can't remember which makes the fridge cut out early.

I am considering building a GQ shorty for comps, Ive seen a few around with the wheelbase extended to around 100 inches + and would like to do this to the one I have planned. I want to have fitted an A-bar rear and also move the guards and wheel arches back to suit. Would anybody who has had this ...

Sorry- how chewed out would the radius arm bushes look if they were stuffed, they have a couple of small tears from the holes in them.

Thanks for everybodys help- hopefully it will help others with the same problem one day. I might order a bigger set of springs, I wanted new ones anyway, My Mav had a 4 inch kit in it and although it did get the shakes sometimes it had really soft springs and drove really well for a half assed ...

Fatassgq -
45mm between bump stop and top of spring cone both sides when sitting flat. Which isn't much really. Also I have a high mount on the front and steel bullbar and dual batteries.

Okay tonight I checked the panhard bushes- like new, so took the shims out of the king pins to see if it made any difference, got rid of most of the wobble, why and how does this do it and (it seem it might from above) will it cause long term damage with these out. Luckily they only take ten minutes ...

Yeah - the shims from factory suggestion is probably right- only thing is I have made the tyres much bigger than factory so have made the problem - which did already happen with the smaller tyres worse by putting bigger tyres on. ( I have no plans of going back to small tyres though). The car has ...

So do you have any idea what it is? It seems that there is no real solution, some say tyre balance, some say wheels, some say mud in wheels, some say bushes, some say radius arm angles, some say panhard rod bushes or angle, some say shims, some say kingpin bearings, some say wheel bearings, some ...

Thanks again
